| I can not live without "Room Correction" To the question about cost-effective room correction options, I use a mac mini-based music player running Dirac to good effect. This works well if all your sources are sourced over the network. Otherwise, you can run Dirac on a relatively low-co... | |
| KEF Reference 5-Isoacoustics GAIA? I can't comment on the KEF speakers, but I just installed GAIA IIs under my Martin Logan Expression 13as yesterday, and after one night of listening I've determined they are staying there. I'd agree that the two areas I noticed an improvement wer... | |
| PS Audio Power Plants I upgraded my Furman power conditioner to the P10 about a year ago and while the difference wasn't dramatic, it was noticeable and positive. I'd say the biggest difference was "blacker blacks" to use a video analogy if that makes sense. It was i... | |
| PS Audio or Ayre? Another happy BHK Pre owner here. I've never owned Ayre, but have listened to demos (not with my speakers) and they have been nice, but not nice enough to entice me to buy one. | |
| Ps Audio BHK preamp Vs ARC best preamps I have (almost) all PS Audio gear, and when I got the Directstream Jr DAC I was planning on it replacing the integrated amp I was using at the time by running it directly to my amps. While accurate in the mid & high end, I found the sound ver... | |
| Martin Logan speakers To the OP, I haven't listened to Vistas specifically, but I've owned an older model in the Aeon i's, and a newer model in the Expression 13As, and I can say that yes MLs are very directional, and yes panel to woofer integration hasn't been a stren... | |
| My exp. with Focal Sopra No.2 , Harbeth 40.2, Passlabs XA30.5 and Hypex NC400 I had similar results with my Nord Acoustics Hypex NC500 based amps paired with my Martin Logans. When I first got them they were a significant upgrade from the older class D amps I had in before. They were very controlled and detailed with a lo... | |
| Eric Clapton reveals this week of his declining health I'm pretty sure the "why don't you ask ______" quotes are mostly lore and untrue (I read a variation on this when Billy Gibbons supposedly was asked the same question and pointed the interviewer to Prince), but regardless losing Clapton will be a ... | |
| A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ? I've been buying PS Audio components one by one ever since getting the DS Junior DAC when it first came out a few years ago. I guess I got hooked, I was so impressed with the sound. I've been progressively spending more $ on components as I've b... | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? I try not to spend a lot on cables either. +1 for Anticables. They beat the Canare cables I got from Blue Jeans in both my main system as well as in a more moderately priced secondary system. I can't say I noticed much of a difference between t... | |
| So how many people jumped on the PS Audio Black Friday Sale For The BHK Amps And Pre Amp? I also jumped on the sale. I already had the BHK pre-amp, DS Jr DAC, and the P10 power regenerator, and will now be adding the BHK 300 monos to the system once they arrive. Very much looking forward to them. | |
| Class D Technology @arafiqI've had 3 different Peachtree amps (NovaAmp220, Nova 125SE, and Grand Integrated X-1), as well as a Parasound (older HCA-2003 model). The Peachtree amps (with my gear, in my room) all absolutely sounded better than the Parasound. Granted... | |
| Dipole Asymmetry I have Martin Logan Aeon i towers 2.5' off my front wall with floor standing abfusors behind them. The absorbers/diffusors made a positive difference when I added them. I also had a vertical equipment rack near my left speaker at the same height... |
