| Back to Hales (Transcendence 5) @mckinneymike Thank you for sharing that. You all (Audio Insights) were gracious with me in the demo and sales process. You even sold to me a used Classe Seventy. I was a small time customer for the audio world, but for me that was a lot of mon... | |
| Back to Hales (Transcendence 5) Thank you for sharing, all! Have to get new jumpers, they came with a little bit of twisted wire. The jumpers for my speaker cables about 50% of what paid for the pair...how have times changed ;) | |
| JL Audio Primacy full range powered speakers Thanks for posting about these new speakers. I see it more as more of affluent, lifestyle high-end audio solution than an audiophile, hobbyist product. The ATC has less integration and features and is more "old school". The SCM150s are great speak... | |
| New speakers or new car? In the coffee line at SWAF I was talking to a friendly female attendee who debating the idea of choosing between a beach house a pair of $500,000 speakers (probably the big YGs on demo there). I said, ’beach house!", but she pushed back thinking s... | |
| High pass filter Thank you all for the thoughtful responses. I very well may try a first order filter and will looking to an LC circuit like Erik suggested. Those inexpensive RCA filter plugs would be a simple experiment. The Hsu could also be worth trying, also ... | |
| Speaker distance I am another Jim Smith fan. I use REW for efficiency, but one could use their ears to first determine the distance from the front wall to both the speaker and the listening position. I have to solve for both at the same time to get the smoothest b... | |
| BiAmping JBL 4367 Speakers I tried a VAC 170iq, a KT88 x 4/ 85 watt per channel amp with my 4367s. That amp could not control the woofers. This resulted in forward mids and highs and recessed bass. I replaced it with a 532H, which fixed that problem. | |
| BiAmping JBL 4367 Speakers You may want to look in to the M2, the "pro" version of 4367 that is made for use with a DSP crossover. I do not know what is to be gained by using an active crossover with a passive crossover. I assume gain can be easily adjusted though the Trin... | |
| Speaker Help Please: Floorstanders around $1Ok to fill very large space with no sub I like dipoles in a large room, like large Magnepans. The even power distribution makes the sound sort of magical across the entire room. | |
| cats and speakers - looking for clues I can vouch for https://www.radiodustcovers.com They make quality custom covers, easy to place and remove. The situation depends on the actual speaker and cat. My wife foster cats; none of them bothered my TADs ME1s. Some liked to lay on my JBL... | |
| Why in some instances does changing streamers makes a bigger difference? South Korean YouTube channel HIFICLUB has some A/B server demos using high end equipment, mostly antipodes from what I have seen. https://www.youtube.com/@hificlub_kr | |
| Narrowing down choices in a power amp The 532H is modular and very serviceable. I have good experience just sending a part of my 532H to pyramid audio for repair. | |
| Review on Bricasti Design M3 DAC I have never tried Qobuz app with my Bricasti M3 w/ network. Audirvana worked easily with my iMac connected to the router via wifi, though. The sound quality difference between the iMac and a music server was enormous. The difference between playb... | |
| BEST MUSIC STREAMER UNDER 5K? BEST MUSIC STEAMER OVER 5K? @phusis Thank you. I have found Roon offers less resolution than upnp/dlna applications, all of which sound the same on my system. I have wondered if Grimm products escaped this issue. Relating to the OP and FWIW I use a sonic transporter i9 in ... | |
| BEST MUSIC STREAMER UNDER 5K? BEST MUSIC STEAMER OVER 5K? @phusis That is an interesting comparison. What playback software did you use with the MU1? |
