| REGEN by UPTONE AUDIO Just to put things in context a bit regarding DAC improvement with regeneration, I definitely found an improvement with the Empirical Audio Offramp between my MAC Mini and my PS Audio Direct Stream DAC. I wonder how the Regen compares to the Offramp. | |
| Gainclone Running 2 Speakers; Parallel or Series So wiring in series worked pretty well. The gainclone has no problem powering the combination of the two speakers. The combination is a little on the brighter side, but so much better than the Advents alone, which were really subdued in their posi... | |
| Gainclone Running 2 Speakers; Parallel or Series I will check the tweeters but the may sound dull due to their positioning - too much upholstered furniture around them. Not sure I can get my GF to raise the speakers above the furniture, and they are positioned in corners. You're right about the ... | |
| Best Female Vocalists Ballads For something not overproduced, genuine, from the heart... If you haven't already tapped into this, I would recommend the ballads of Richard and Linda Thompson. For instance, try the compilation Watching the Dark and skip to the ballads sung by Li... | |

| max spade width for plastic covered binding posts Yeah - they really suck? How does one remove the shrouds and make them into normal binding posts? If I do that, can the shroud be replaced later? Thanks. | |

| DIY Stereo Rack Is maple butcher block ok relative to solid maple? You can get good deals on premade butcher block products. | |
| Why so many PS Audio DirectStreams for sale? mrderrick. Can you elaborate on how to get the most out of this DAC? | |
| Ayre MX-R Twenty upgrade I'm a fan as well! How much is the upgrade? | |
| Plugging ported speakers and active Xovers Thank you for posting. I am curious about your experience. I have 2JL audio F113 subs, and I'm wondering if the next step might be to procure their active crossover. they certainly speak very highly of it! It seems they have put a lot of thought a... | |
| mono cartridge vs stereo Thanks Bill. I don't have the flexibility to set up a mono cartridge on my turntable. Too much effort readjusting the VTA every time I would change. So I guess I'm stuck with using Y adapters, or on advice from VAC, I could strap together the posi... | |
| Buy Mono vs. Stereo LPs for Stereo Rig Agreed Bucanero! But I'm looking for a compromise solution for those who don't have a separate mono rig. | |
| mono cartridge vs stereo Lew, thanks. Yes, I'm going to put it b/t my phono preamp and my linestage. I think I'll have BlueJeans Cable make one up for me to try it out. I'm assuming all it takes is making a normal set of cables, opening them up in the middle, soldering th... |
