| digital eq/room correction trade-offs I'm also interested in this.Richards/Rodman: how do you have your TacTs connected? Are you taking a digital signal straight into the TacT and using its DAC (effectively using it as a preamp too), and from the TacT in analog to the amp? Or using an... | |
| How to diagnose the need for room treatment? Al, Shadorne,Very informative answers. I wasn't aware of beaming.Thanks all three for your input. If you don't mind checking back on Sunday, I will try to make time and play with all of the above and post back results. I trust your input will help... | |
| How to diagnose the need for room treatment? Nice.Newbee: thanks for sharing your experience in your room. Your freq response does resemble indeed the shape of mine!BTW, how far is the listening position from the speakers?Al: the speakers are indeed facing straight ahead. I gather beaming re... | |
| How to diagnose the need for room treatment? Good stuff!Looking at the room dimensions and its modes I found f1 for length is 34 Hz and f0 for width is 36 Hz. Close enough to 31.5 Hz?Also f3 for length is 69 Hz and f4 is 86 Hz, plus f1 for width is 72 Hz and f0 for height is 78 Hz. Might be ... | |
| How to diagnose the need for room treatment? Thank you all again for the useful input. I got my Radio Shack SPL meter (analog), a Stereophile Test CD 2, and got the RS SPL correction curves from Rives. All set! Today I had fun measuring and would very much appreciate your help in making sens... | |
| How to diagnose the need for room treatment? Guys,Thank you very much. Really. I have a fair amount of reading ahead of me + getting acquainted with test CDs & SPL meters. I'm not looking for quick fixes, so getting a good understanding of how my room/system behave together and how to im... | |
| McIntosh amp opinions? Are we talking MC2205 or MC225? The original post was for MC2205, 200W SS, and the answers are for MC225...tubes.Sorry I cannot add content to the post as I don't have enough knowledge, but I still read it with interest.Vdosc, BTW, the improvement... | |
| Amp for my B&W CM1's +1 on Rotel. I had an RB1080 with my CM4 and loved it. For the CM1 the RB1070 might be enough. Suggest you buy used.I have not heard the Arcam combo, so can't speak to them but they are well regarded.Check the B&W forum in htguide.com.Horacio | |
| Which amp is a better choice for B&W 805s Like Mlawitm, I think Classe and McIntosh are good choices with B&W. In my case, however, I chose the MC275 for my 804s. I thought tubes worked really nicely with the aluminum tweeter in the 804s (which is the same as in the 805s). With diamon... | |
| Need guidance on system config...help Thanks for the input so far. I'll look into the Raysonic 168, CD-77, and Audio Aero Capitole SE, which I'm not familiar with. However it's still puzzling that a $3500 current player would outperform a combo like the P70/D70 which were top of the l... | |
| Best way to extend a dedicated power line? Those are good data points. Thanks both!Horacio | |
| Esoteric D70 direct to amp? Leffen,Thanks for your input. Too bad my question isn't compelling enough for others to provide some input too.Point taken, though. From reading some posts it seems like what you describe is true for Esoteric combos in general (without a preamp), ... | |
| How good a preamp is Esoteric D-70 DAC? You are correct, as long as the volume control implementation is as good as one in a good preamp. This is actually why I'm asking. Have you had the chance to listen to a D70 direct into an amp? | |
| Getting an external crossover: worth doing? Bob,Your are dead on: I meant 10B sub crossover. And the benefits you describe are exactly what I'm after.Isn't the bottom octave the 20-40 Hz range? I agree REL subs aren't ideally suited for crossing over at 70 or 80Hz, but then I'm not followin... | |
