| High pass quality to mains uisng Velodyne DD subs I really think it depends on the main speakers you're using and what your aim is in using crossovers.In my home theater using the processor's crossover does wonders. The active network seamlessly blends my NHT satellites and sub creating a very co... | |
| neutrality & transparency: what's the difference ? "At any rate, the analogy doesn't serve any usefull purpose, since not manny people understand the distinction between Torque and HPower and thus only confuses the issue!."YUp. | |
| High pass quality to mains uisng Velodyne DD subs I think Rwwear means he doesn't like the idea of having the mains encumbered by a high pass filter in the signal path. It would be interesting to hear the results of trying both methods. | |
| Audiophiles and apartments: Oil and water? I'm pretty inconsiderate, I just blast away. And when the downstairs kids start bumpin' hip hop, I crank up Spinosaurus versus T-Rex from JP3 on the HT. Never got a complaint. I must be a well shaken vinaigrette. | |

| Best RCA terminated digital interconnect? Another pretty good one under $200 is the Acoustic Zen MC2. | |

| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Nice car, Clio09! You have the triple Webbers on the 3.0? Do you have to use a unison to tune them? | |
| Best DAC $1000 and under used Yeah, I think the Audio Mirro would be a good one to investigate. It doesn't deviate excessively from neutrality, it has a nice smooth top end and is very dynamic and transparent. | |
| neutrality & transparency: what's the difference ? This is kinda like trying to explain to someone the difference between horsepower and torque. You think you know, but can't quite explain it. | |
| neutrality & transparency: what's the difference ? The way I use both terms seems to coincide with your statement about neutrality meaning no coloration and transparency implying a clear window, but I don't quite think your analogies work for me. But later on you say that transparency includes the... | |
| Best DAC $1000 and under used Gixerman, I'll take a stab and say the Audio Mirror DAC might be a good candidate for your system. It's a non-oversampling DAC as Clio09 mentioned, so it sounds smooth, analog yet dynamic. It's the only solid state DAC I've tried that didn't have ... | |
| Best DAC $1000 and under used What type of attributes are you looking for sound wise? After all, many of the mentioned DACs do sound very different from each other. | |
| Your listening chair I knew you'd catch that one, Howard. | |
| Best DAC $1000 and under used Good suggestions by Eldarado.I've owned the Ack! 2.0, Bel Canto 1.1, Kora Hermes I and Audio Mirror D1. They're all good, but interestingly in their own way. The choice really comes down to what sonic character you're looking for and how that DAC ... |
