| Why does my system now have shrill top end. Maybe the tweeters are blown or ferrofluid dried out. The ring radiator is crossed over at 1.8KHz so it works very hard. | |
| Michael Fremer's system The space looks small and cluttered. No doubt great analog gear as that is his consuming passion. However I much prefer Mike Lavigne's setup which is in another league. Nevertheless darn impressive! | |
| Benchmark AHB2 power amp impressions? @aberyclark Try disconnecting your amp at the amplifier end and listen to the noise of the speaker wires. Generally speaker wires run at high signal levels and speakers are rather inefficient and are rarely able to pick up any RF/EM speaker cable ... | |
| Best Footers for DAC? Four fried eggs sunnyside up - just ensure not to break the yolks and that the DAC rests on the yolk. Organic grain fed is the smoothest but the type with Omega 3 can be more revealing. Experiment with cooking time until you fine tune the sound. C... | |
| Revel Performa F-206 versus B&W CM-10S-2 How might they differ in sound quality?? +1 Erik - excellent summary - F206 are by far the better speaker if you like natural accurate sound. B&W are perfect if you like the fake hi-fi sound from boosted bass and boosted treble. | |
| Benchmark AHB2 power amp impressions? @mrppv A wash is how it should be. If everything is working fine and your amp and speakers are well matched then the cables should make no discernable audible difference. | |
| Why does my system now have shrill top end. @kosst_amojan +1 You discovered why snake oil (fancy cables etc) works - it all starts with faulty equipment and goes exponentially from there.... | |
| Why is the snake oil topic closed? @cd318 "It seems criminal that some engineers are working extremely hard to further standards in these areas, often with little financial gain, whilst purveyors of snake oil rake in easy money. "+1 That is so true. What money gets wasted on snake... | |
| My rant; we don't know what we don't know +1 Definitely. Good sound is available to anyone but you wont find it on the merry-go-round. The merry-go-round is just a reflection of a psychological need and nothing to do with the pursuit of high fidelity. There is a wonderful Agoner that went... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... Since the Blue fuse "stomped" the Black fuse, I am surprised nobody is asking for a recall of their poor performing red and black fuses?Frankly, hype of the incredible performance benefits of a fuse is such an insult to real designers that build a... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... I dont see any trolls here. Just fools. A fool and his money are soon parted. | |
| Why does my system now have shrill top end. Did you damage your speakers? Playing too loud or clipping? | |
| Why does my system now have shrill top end. Aging equipment (a cap has degraded) or a loose connection. | |
| Why is the snake oil topic closed? Huh? Quantum mechanics and black holes don't make sense. It all makes total sense to me but I dont go in to the detail of these things with preconceived notions. Einstein made that mistake. | |
| Pre amp with Dac Benchmark DAC3 or Mytek Brooklyn |
