| Top 5 Rock n Roll Vocalists I would pick two "traditional rock" singers:Robert Plant and Roger Daltry.Add two more mellow "acoustic rock" singers:Steve Winwood (very unique tone of voice that I really like) and David Crosby.And close out the list with Eddie Veder | |
| Subwoofer crossovers I my experience deep and solid bass response is more critical to realistically render "small jazz" (with bass and drumkit), than large orchestration. In fact, nowhere do I need my subs more than on small jazz. | |
| Subwoofer crossovers Sure, but to suggest Hevac should cut off his $40,000 speakers with 11" woofers at 80Hz and reproduce this range with two EQ'ed subs instead makes no sense. Now, if you believe a sub / satellite system has big inherent advantages that is a differe... | |
| Subwoofer crossovers For a two way X-over at low cross-over point tubes would probably not be your best bet. I was considering a custome made (i.e. LFE channel added) version of the (cheaper) XM-44. | |
| Subwoofer crossovers Hevac, the LFE channel on the NHT is summed to the stereo channels. It does not override it. Works like a charm. It was the only device I could find that could so this. Marchand offered to custom build me a 3 in 2 out Xover for a lot more money. U... | |
| Subwoofer crossovers Hevac1, we have a very similar approach in that I cross over at 35Hz and run mains at full range. I am also using the NHT crossover (as low pass filter only) and it works like a charm. It sums the LFE to the stereo signal. Obvioulsy, it does NOT a... | |
| Subwoofer crossovers Would have been interesting but I never thought of it and never tried. Now I never will because I sold my my Verities and I am using Eidolon Visions. | |
| Subwoofer crossovers Marty, not an unreasonable argument, but keep in mind that by crossing over to your subs at say 100Hz in order to get typical room modes in range of the EQ you apply on the subs, you are not only running the mains through an active filter. You are... | |
| Subwoofer crossovers You cannot apply bass management in either the Oppo or the Cary when playing in DSD Direct mode. However, when you play a 5.1 SACD you should still get information on your subs (this is the .1 channel), because this information is present on your ... | |
| Subwoofer crossovers Brad, glad there is professional confirmation for what my amateur intuition told me. I am running mains at full range and use a low pass filter for my discrete stereo sub signal. For MCH 5.1 I also sum the unfiltered LFE channel to the discrete st... | |
| Balanced / single ended night and day difference I repeated the expiriment, but now instead of running the multi channel preamp through the single ended HT bypass of my 2 channel preamp, I hooked up the balanced outputs of MCH preamp directly to my poweramp. So now I was comparing fully balanced... | |
| Two Channel -- DTS Master - HD Audio? If you believe in the wisdom of crowds (and reviewers) you can't go wrong with the Oppo 95 (especially if you are limited to a 2 channel application). | |
| Balanced / single ended night and day difference Thanks guys. I will expiriment a little more. I don't have exactly identical cables, but I have a pair of Transparent Ultra RCA and Transparent Reference XLR's which should be close enough. | |
| Balanced / single ended night and day difference I connected the XLR and the RCA's to completely separated inputs on the Theta Preamp, and then matched volume levels using an offset. The Marantz source has completely separate circuitry for the 2 channel balanced outputs than for the 2 channel RC... | |
| Balanced / single ended night and day difference But keep in mind my balanced is only balanced between source and first preamp. Where does the big difference come from? And yes, balanced has 7db more gain. |
