longview posted:These are people who put their cables up on little struts and stuff tissue paper in their amplifiers, someone should start selling audiophile grade house wiring and manual fuses. I found a significantly more vibrant soundstage after I put in the AudioFuze 63A model, sure it's a 13A circuit but I need the extra power for the dynamics!! Oh you can buy rhodium plated power outlets! http://www.dedicatedaudio.com/inc/sdetail/109/33780

BANME.sh posted:To switch gears a bit, I am debating whether or not I should replace all of the old electrolytic capacitors in my vintage Marantz receiver. It works fine, and it sounds good to me, but you know how everyone says "those old caps are dried up, better replace them before they burn out and damage something else!!". If it works, don`t replace the caps. If you're going to replace the caps, get name brand ones like Panasonic and Nichicon. It doesn't have anything to do with the sound, it's just that they're overall better quality

KozmoNaut posted:Some audiophiles are into the old big-rear end wardrobe-sized speakers, like the old Klipsch Jubilee and Altec Lansing Voice of the Theater and similar models. Enormous room-filling (in every way) speakers that were outrageously expensive in their day, and still command high prices because of their relative rarity. The venerable Klipschorn also has a large following. I understand these guys, big speakers are awesome if you have the room for them, and can produce a big imposing sound profile that no small speaker will ever match. I like my big speakers. I'd like to get some smaller ones, but I'm afraid they'll sound too "small".  That's a 55" TV

BigFactory posted:I have a pair of lovely bookshelfs from the late 80s that look like teeny versions of them. No eMit tweeter in those, right? They made several small speakers, here's a nice site: http://www.infinity-classics.de/models/index-models.htm Panty Saluter posted:Roughly 85 db efficient with impedance dropping below 4 ohms in numerous places, I'd wager They're pretty hard to drive, one guy in Norway measured that only the small drivers pull about 600W at most! I use an Aragon 4004MkII, but it's not nearly enough.

qirex posted:Even if I had gently caress you money I'd probably make do with normal sized towers coupled with a sub or two. Eeh, it's not the same. I had a couple of Dynaudios with a 12" Velodyne sub, and I thought there was something weird about the bass coming from another place in the room. Replaced the lot with a couple of Infinity Kappa 9.2s, and everyone's happy except my neighbours. There's something majestic about the sound coming from a pair of big speakers. If only I could find another amp to power them properly.

KozmoNaut posted:You had the crossover frequency set too high. You're probably correct. I feel like I tried every setting possible on the sub, but I didn't adjust the preamp. Olympic Mathlete posted:You certainly have a lot of choice in the year 2017 my dude. Got any recommendations? I have an Aragon 4004 on them now, but It sounds like they need more power.

Olympic Mathlete posted:Speakers are 4ohms, amp will output 400w at 4ohms so something's up somewhere! 4omhs nominal, the kappas have some pretty nasty impedance drops with certain frequencies, I've read between 1.2-1.6 ohms. I've also heard of a guy measuring the mid/highrange pulling 600W max on these speakers. There is wide consensus that the crossovers suck on these speakers. There has to be something in it, I've managed to pop the fuses on the amplifier with these speakers.

metallicaeg posted:Pretty sure this thread has now come full circle And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you. DACchat: I bought a SMSL M6 DAC on eBay to replace my aging Aragon D2A, and boy did it make a difference! Much better on vocal tracks. I have the DAC connected to an Marantz PM-80MkII with a couple of Dynaudio DM 2/8s I bought cheap.

Remember to plug your unused inputs: https://ansuz-acoustics.comquote:The entry-level model has to make do without a name affix and will retail at 680 euros. The Sortz Supreme represents the medium quality level and will be available for 1,000 euros. The Sortz Signature, the top-of-the-range model, will request an additional 400 euros. At least in my high-resolution system, the ever-increasing impact of the different Sortz models can be easily retraced. Upcoming questions, such as whether two simple Sortz produce more euphony than one Sortz Signature, will probably only be clarified when series models are available in sufficient numbers. The most striking distinction between the three models, by the way, lies in the different surface coatings applied in the Magnetron Sputtering Unit.
