| Best song for immediate impact when presenting or testing? Siri's Svale Band – Blackbird (1st cut) - sold many a speaker. Joseph Audio used it as their demo SF Stereophile show in '80s?Makes you want to start smoking again . . . and by a ticket to Norway. | |
| Sound bar in a box . . . can't understand dialog. I did something similar, threw together a patchwork of left over mini-monitors with an old Kyocera receiver. The monitors are attached to the doors so they swing out of the credenza cavity and don't excite the volume like the soundbar did. | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? MarizaPortuguese Fado was, in many ways, revived as an art by this stunning woman. | |
| Brooklyn DAC+ Anyone? Has anyone run the Mytek Control Panel software via Wi-Fi or some other way to remote the controls? I have a Brooklyn+ that's fairly new and am trying walk thru the multitude of options. It's a pain to keep getting up and going over to my PC/serv... | |
| So maybe a re-sampler, transport or DAC? Thanks Steve/audioengr. I saw some of those recommendations on your website. Really nice set. I'll try some of the easy (i.e. cheap) ones first before I look at try to convince my significant other that I need a $1200.00 tX-USBultra...:8)My PC ... | |
| So maybe a re-sampler, transport or DAC? One other thought.The Axiom II does not have input switching so I have to unplug/plug it's inputs to switch from analog to digital and vice versa. Would love to have something to do that switching. Can some DACs can pass thru an analog signal to ... | |
| Sound bar in a box . . . can't understand dialog. Re: pillows...Damn, I like that! Will try the experiment.Re: the wife thing...this is my second pass...don't think I'll try that experiment again.Re: better soundbar. Actually, I think this one is dying so may be in the cards.Cheers, Dan | |
| Sound bar in a box . . . can't understand dialog. tls49Thanks. I’ll ck the model number in the morning. I suspect there’s no center speaker since it was sort of bottom of the line. The free standing approach I tried worked somewhat but would be a pain to set up each use. The next rainy day I’m go... | |
| Sound bar in a box . . . can't understand dialog. So I did a quick check and no ports, at least not available to mess with (could be under the glued on fabric). However, I pulled the soundbar out of where it sits inside the armoire (box) and set it about a foot in front of the armoire on a stool.... | |
| Sound bar in a box . . . can't understand dialog. elevickThanks. The soundbar is currently connected to the Vizio via the optical link. The Vizio speakers are turned off. Setup works fine as far as getting signal to soundbar and the soundbar is working. I'm pretty sure I'm dealing with box reson... | |
| KEF LS50 vs Dynaudio Contour 1.3 MkII vs Thiel 1.6 I thought so, NJ wouldn't work for me as I go to NYC by mass transit. More importantly, it's not an issue at the moment since I've just invested in the bigger Bryston (my third) and won't be doing anything else major until I've "digested" what I h... | |
| KEF LS50 vs Dynaudio Contour 1.3 MkII vs Thiel 1.6 ctsooner Looks like we're destined to be "ships passing in the night". Is Audio Connection in NYC or NJ? I get to NYC to see kids regularly so will give you a heads up then. Still need to find a Penaudio dealer closer than Ontario...or buy... | |
| KEF LS50 vs Dynaudio Contour 1.3 MkII vs Thiel 1.6 Well - and this is nod to soix - I just happened to find an amp that's more powerful than my B60 nearby (OK...two hours near) and it's now installed. Bryston 4B SST. So I've gone from 60w/channel to 300w/channel into 8 ohms. My Thiels are 4 ohm... | |
| KEF LS50 vs Dynaudio Contour 1.3 MkII vs Thiel 1.6 yyzsantabarbara - I had my 1.6 Theils in a near field set up before changing my room and they really worked well. However, it's my home office and listening room and they don't exactly fit on my desk. With my latest rearrangement the space work... | |
| KEF LS50 vs Dynaudio Contour 1.3 MkII vs Thiel 1.6 ctsooner - heck, I was about 20 minutes away from Berlin last weekend...:8( Not in Boston, north near Portsmouth, NH...last stop going north on NH's vast 12 mile coast line. I go to NYC to see kids from time to time...may check in with you then.... |
