My theater upgrade is progressing - started almost 3 years ago, August 1999. Covid and other stuff slowed everything down to a crawl. But in Nov. 1999 I decided to go all out on subwoofers and ordered from Mark 9 of his brand new 21" nonported subwoofers, and then in March 2020 I added another 3...
In a few months, my dedicated home theater, built as an addition to my home back in 1997, will be completed, looks like a 11.12.12 system with Trinnov Altitude 32 (32 channels, using 4 channels to 4 subwoofer amplifiers, each subwoofer amplifier handling 3 21" sealed subwoofers). My theater...
Power Cords & Cables Sonic Changes Obviated by Room Correction and To What Extent?
Interesting exchange on another AV Forum on the web:
___________________________
This gets me questioning the extent to which excellent room correction, such as Trinnov Optimizer, etc, obviates some or...
I definitely liked what I heard last Saturday at my friend Dave's home, the Lyngdorf MP-50 SSP, after we applied its Room Perfect optimization.
Dave, your room has gotta be one of the absolute worst in terms of planning the best home theatre sonics (which you readily admit that you have these...

As We Get Older - Hearing Aids for High End Audio/Concerts & Home Theatre
The past five years, as I have slowed down, I have been going to lots of concerts at more "audiophile" settings with easy parking - primarily the Mesa Arts Center, Phoenix Musical Instrument Museum, and even some at a...

In the past year, Derek Jones has put out two albums on the best sounding audiophile label ever, Blue Coast Records.
The first album, "Run With Me", featuring Jenna Mammina on about half the tracks with vocals, is stimply stunning!
The...
Because you folks will argue, argue and this 3rd MicroRendu thread will be closed, too!
Reminds of the old AVS Forum and why Steve Williams started this forum in the first place, to avoid that type of arguing and crapola.
My Microrendu using my previous HDPlex 100 watt power supply, 9vdc...
I understand from posts past that Amir, also Patrick Harkins of Lumagen, objectively recommend for digital audio and video (including HDMI) cabling minimum length of 1.5M, which avoids problematic reflections.
Does this also apply objectively with USB cabling?
Thanks.
Questions On Converting DSD files to PCM with Korg Audiogate
I luv my Bryston BDP-1 Media Player, using an Apple iPad3 with MPad software. This setup plays pretty much all computer audio files EXCEPT DSD.
Since last December, I have ripped well over 1,000 albums (CDs, DVD-Audio, HDCD...
I have just ordered a Bryston BDP-1 media player to go with my audio and home theater system (Theta CB3 HD SSP, Theta Gen 8 Series 3 DAC, pair of Theta Citadel 1.5 monoblocks, three Theta Enterprise monoblocks, four Aerial 9s, one Aerial CC5, three Aerial SW-12 subwoofers.) My Theta SSP and Gen...
Note: Just got this DAC off Audiogon used today. I am gonna post stuff as I do stuff with it. I ask that folks refrain from using this thread for any marketing and keep questions and posts informational only. For now my Theta CB3 SSP and Six shooter is out of my system, as is my PS Audio Perfect...
What were your first "audiophile" speakers and when?
Mine were the Infinity 2000 II, purchased in 1974 from LaBelle’s, Minneaolis for $700.

They had a really neat Walsh inverted dome tweeter. They could play loud. I used audiophile...
Come on Amir, I know you know the answer. Heck, you probably authored the software.
Gotta Canon Vixia HF11. I've got a laptop with Windows 7 (did the upgrade myself from that not so great Vista). I stick a mini-USA to USB cable into the Canon and out to the laptop and my HD video files...
You tell me which you think sounds better and why?
Is HDMI 1.3 a flawed transmission standard for hi rez audio since no Blu Ray players or SSPs
use the "Audio Rate Control" feature provided in the HDMI 1.3 spec?
Not interested in discussion on Theta's "promised" HDMI 1.3 upgrade for the...
