| TO DAC OR NOT TO DAC? I've never listened via an external dac. Therefore, of course I do not believe one needs the expense of an external dac. If the opposite were true I'd own one and my opinion would be different. :)In all seriousness, I agree with the poster above t... | |
| split sub signal out of preamp to use 2 subs? It should not hurt to fork the sub-out. Nobody will highly recommend doing so but should not do much sonically.My pre has RCA and XLR main outs. Therefore, the L&R RCA outs are connected to the sub's L&R ins. The XLR main outs go to my amp... | |
| What is the best DB level to Hi, Sean. I didn't take your comments personally. But I don't know anybody (nor do I think I want to know anybody) that plays anything at 110db sound levels.One thing I forgot to mention about volume and listener fatigue. Most amplifiers begin to ... | |
| Cable lengths As a general rule cable lengths short be as near identical as possible and as short as possible. | |
| Does your amp sound hum....when your ear close it If you narrow the hum down to the amplifier's transformer, try to determine which circuit the amplifier is running off of. Then check the circuit breakers in the service panel. There is the possibility that your amps' circuit is on the opposing le... | |
| Need recommendations on the following processors Sean, you should have grabbed the Primare P30 from his pickup bed and ran as fast as you could! :) Interesting story. | |
| What is the best DB level to Sean, if one happened to like violin and perhaps not care for a 'jammin' rock band or vice versa, then yes. But Sean just because it's a 'jammin' rock band doesn't mean one instantly needs to crank it up to 100+db. If you're talking Guns N Roses o... | |
| What is the best DB level to It depends on a number of factors. Including but not limited to the following:1. Your audio equipment's sound type. Does it produce a golden or light, warm or analytical, yin or yang (yuck) type sound?2. Your amplifier specifically. Does it strain... | |
| I give UP Aerial 10Ts and Power Amps Sbruzonsky is correct. Monster is usually good to stay away from anyway. But with the current draw from your amp, you would need a very high powered AC regenerator which are very expensive.I'm using a Foundation Research LC-2 in-line power conditi... | |
| Need recommendations on the following processors Of those in your list, I'm guessing the Classe to be the only one capable of a class A rating.I'm using a Primare P30 pre/pro in my 2.1 channel system and believe it to be a first rate performer sonically. It's a no frills, no thrills, bare-boned ... | |
| Proceed AVP-2, Did they fix the glitches? It sounds like you have a number of requirements and you might want to prioritize them. No matter how much you spend you will compromise on one or more of those requirements.I would suggest making audio the no. 1 priority. IMO, if that isn't right... | |
| to cut or not to cut: help Air-Tight seems like nice equipment. If you screw it up, you've ruined a nice piece. Where do you obtain your Removable IEC socket kits? I'd like to do this to one of my components.Thanks, | |
| I give UP Aerial 10Ts and Power Amps Sean, the amps do not have to be 'starving' to experience some to many of the affects of being starved. Simply being a little hungry is enough seriuosly hamper an amps ability to perform. And I have no idea what affects a little hunger may have at... | |
| Help selecting a preamp/processor please. Look for a Primare P30 pre/pro as it includes XLR and RCA main outs. They are hard to find and the P30 includes a 100% analog in 2-channel by-pass mode. I've compared it in my home against a Conrad-John PV14, the Electrocompaniet preamp, and an Ay... | |
| I give UP Aerial 10Ts and Power Amps You keep playing it loud to determine the limits and then you hit a limitation and you don't know what to do. It's possible that at that high current your amps may be running out of power if they are on 15 amp circuits.Also, the amps may be runnin... |
