| Wisdom Audio - DCAB-1 No experience but...Looks like a great upgrade for Wisdom and adds that portability that was troublesome. The RTA feature isn't unique but it's a piece of the puzzle. It has an impressive amount of filters, including the notch for the ribbons. The... | |
| Difference between today and yesterday. There are quite a few old speakers that have stood the test of time. In some ways, particularly in the lowest octaves, they were generally superior IMHO.Infinity RS, Kappa, IRS seriesDunlavyHalesApogee | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE As much as I love my Genesis 350's, I doubt if I'll hang onto to them forever. It's tough to find enough room for them. Eventually, I'll have to downsize and downgrade. Hopefully after my hearing is near gone ... and if I continue to play them at ... | |
| Not enough amp gain? Amps? Speakers? More info please. | |
| Best budget preamp for Aragon 8008bb and Thiel 3.6 If you have source(s) with 1.5V or more and low output impedance (<200), which would be most SS CDPs, try a Promitheus TVC. I prefer XLR with passives, but then the source would have balanced outputs. | |

| Macintosh vs Pass labs It seems that Macs are are very synergistic with karaoke systems because I've seen a few of those. | |
| Best power conditioner for 4 monoblocks? It would be a shame to hear that great setup compromised by any conditioner.Assuming the 10 amp fuse is close to peak draw for these 750W A/AB amps and you have 4 of them, you'll need 40 amps or nearly 5KVA. In any kind power supply conditioner/is... | |
| Looking for a Solidly good inexpensive DAC SOTA = State of the art... Usually ten times the price. | |
| Looking for a Solidly good inexpensive DAC Monarchy 22B is very dynamic and musical. Not SOTA in details but quite good. AES/EBU and coax in. XLR and RCA out. It has a dip switch for doubling output to 6V, for low gain setups. They also have combined DAC/preamp models. The later "piggyback... | |
| Anyone know of good active crossovers? For the money, the Paradigm X-30 is good and includes variable phase. | |
| Tubes vs. Panels? I've made 3 types of traps. Rigid FG and cotton panel traps. Helped a friend with tube traps up to 20" inches diameter from pipe insulation. Some half filled with rock wool. I've also made membrane traps, using 1/8 and 1/4 hardboard as membranes. ... | |
| Tube amps have a signature sound In defense of solid state, because somebody has to, I have yet to hear tubes recreate shimmering cymbals to my satisfaction. Also, I prefer the more stable, laid back presentation of good SS. The bass I can deal with. So, while solid state is not ... | |
