| The Science of Cables I’m of a mind that it’s entirely likely there are characteristics of music (or an audio signal) such as ’ambiance’ or ’staging’ or ’presence’ that exist - we can experience it - but which science just hasn’t yet figured out how to measure. Just be... | |
| Are DAC's overpriced? Insert shameless plug for HiFiBerry (a Pi-based high res DAC) here: [ ] | |
| Best Speaker cable in the $400.00-$500.00 range for 2 meters Look at SignalCable. I have a set of Silver Resolution. Very impressive, very affordable.http://www.signalcable.com/ | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money TL:DR, but for high quality, high value cables go to SignalCable.www.signalcable.com | |
| want to ditch my Brooklyn to streamer..thoughts? This might sound crazy, but have a look at a Pi with a HiFiBerry DAC+Pro XLR. You might be impressed. And for about $100-ish bucks, what do you have to lose? | |
| Which site is Best for Downloading/Uploading Hi Rez I'm one of those who would like to be able to download tracks locally so that I can listen without spinning the meter on my data connection like a hamster on a wheel. I also want to listen in my car, which has an onboard console that enables me t... | |
| DEDICATED CD PLAYER $1K AND UNDER, THOUGHTS? I’m going to agree with the idea of ripping your collection to disc.When I upgraded my gear to pre-owned Logan/Bryston/Krell equipment, I needed a source that was equal to the rest of the system. I found that a HiFiBerry DAC+Pro XLR attached to a ... | |
| Martin Logan speakers Thought I’d chime in here.Yes, you’ll find Martin Logan speakers - at least their higher end stuff - to be well regarded.I’ve wanted a pair of ML’s since hearing the CLS in the 1980’s and didn’t get around to it until about two summers ago when I ... | |
| Conditioning/Burn-In Method Quaint and creative as this notion may be, I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't be enough to make a difference. Especially with a pair of Martin Logans. | |
| Conditioning/Burn-In Method @lak I think you missed the part where I wrote a couple times that I WORK FROM HOME and can't run speakers at volume for 200 hours. | |
| Conditioning/Burn-In Method I'm running a pair of Martin Logan reQuests which are 4ohms, so I figure one of the loads that's 300W at 4Ohm should do nicely to mimic the speakers. Thanks! | |
| Conditioning/Burn-In Method I’m guessing this one would do the trick? If not, https://www.amazon.com/Electronics-Salon-Audio-Amplifier-Non-inductive-Resistor/dp/B00N8QYMXO/ref=sr...Or does it have to be 4ohm?https://www.amazon.com/Electronics-Salon-Audio-Amplifier-Non-induct... | |
| Conditioning/Burn-In Method @almarg if I’m going to order something online, I might as well get the exact thing I need. Would one of these work better? Remember, I’d be attaching on the speaker cables, and I’m running a Bryston 4BST (250W@8ohms).https://www.amazon.com/Electr... | |
| Conditioning/Burn-In Method @almarg thanks for that thorough explanation.I wasn’t planning on a resistive load at the DAC but at the speaker wires, so that I can run the entire system in for the couple hundred hours necessary while also ensuring a good night’s sleep and prod... | |
| Conditioning/Burn-In Method Fair questions and points. @gdnrbob, because I'm also breaking in the speaker cables, running at higher volumes for 10 or more hours a day just isn't possible, especially since I work from home. @taww, I did set a play list of about 10 hours worth... |
