| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? Look into Rythmik subs. Powered, servo controlled, with a good set of adjustments available, not very expensive. I made heavy sealed boxes for a couple of their 12" kit. They also sell finished subs. Also look into their double 8" subs, also servo... | |
| Stereo pre-amps with dual outs for bi-amping and a subwoofer line out There are many technical reasons why active can be better. The key is implementation, as usual. What you note is an alleged advantage of biamping and in my test it wasn't audible. Active crossovers, on the other hand, have proven sonically superio... | |
| Stereo pre-amps with dual outs for bi-amping and a subwoofer line out I agree with pkvintage. I currently triamp in an active stereo system and definitely hear the difference. I have removed the passive crossovers in my speakers.In the past, with same speakers and tube amp I now use for midrange/tweeter, I tried bia... | |
| Going to try digital "1) AQVOX switch added to the router2) 0.5m Wireworld Platinum Ethernet cable from switch to isolator3) EMO EN-70e isolator4) 1.5-2m Wireworld Platinum Ethernet cable from isolator to PC"Steve,That’s $2.5 to 3k worth. I don’t doubt is the cutting ... | |
| Going to try digital Steve,In a setup where Roon core runs on a noisy PC, connects thru ethernet to a Cisco wifi router, and the optimized audio PC receiving from Roon on HQP also connects thru ethernet to the Cisco, would you recommend using just one EMO-EN70e at the... | |
| Going to try digital Steve (audioengr) brings a good point: USB vs ethernet for connecting streamer to DAC. There are very few options for ethernet connected DACs, but this is said to have significant advantages such as no optimized computer needed as front end and th... | |
| Going to try digital Scooter,OK, I'll describe my system, but keep in mind I started down the digital path (not CD) 7 years ago. Attempting to do what I do as a first step would be a recipe for likely frustration, maybe turning away and missing a larger opportunity.My... | |
| Going to try digital Digital opens the door to very many options down the road yet I think you are better off starting simple and once you get your toes wet you decide which way to progress.As expressed above you need a source of music, a player, and a DAC.Source of m... | |
| SET v. Pushpull Tom,You have been given very good input here. Almarg's points about impedance was definitely spot on (as usual in his posts): both as a key speaker attribute when considering to match with SET, and in showing your current speakers aren't the best ... | |
| Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker I'm building an active system where the midrange will be driven by a 2A3 SET. SETs like constant, high impedance. And need high efficiency too. Many high end midrange drivers have relatively flat yet low impedance. Would an autoformer be a good so... | |
| The most fun you can have in audio is DIYing your own speakers @riley804 I wholeheartedly agree with Erik. Note an easier way to start and learn is to follow designs that have been proven to work well. There are many sites for this. You can look at, for example, www.troelsgravasen.dk (spelling?)Take a look.An... | |
| Is Speaker design evolution stagnant Kosst,What you describe is true, sometimes. As usual it depends on implementation. Active digital xo aren't that complicated to implement and can solve the issues you describe if done right. At a fraction if the cost of passive. But the system has... | |
| Is Speaker design evolution stagnant Seanheis,In my view that is a low probability scenario and wouldn't detract me. Don't know why you would ship a speaker. | |
| Is Speaker design evolution stagnant Jack, A significant point Bache made and I neglected to mention is the need for measurement. This means a mic and learning how to do it. USB mics are easier to implent but not as good as the internally do analog to digital conversion with a clock ... | |
| Is Speaker design evolution stagnant Jack,There are many ways to get into it, but in my experience it has been very rewarding to go active and take the learning curve. I echo what Erik suggested about diyaudio (multi-way forum).I started my journey 4-5 years ago. I had a great preamp... |
