Hello,
Marten Parker + Boulder 866.
I demoed with PAD speaker cable. PAD works great with relatively bright & sharp speakers like Utopia from Focal.
(by slightly rolled of the edge of the top) - PAD has warmth, rounded big bass and smoothness
But for my combination, I want to try make the...
Hello,
When I think book shelf speakers, I have thought that the designated speaker stand from the same brand performs the best for a speaker.
For example, Focal Utopia Bookshelf - Focal Speaker Stand for this model.
Today I happened to have a conversation about this, and heard that as long...
Technically my curiosity is how different frequency spec would affect in the long term though I know it’s just number and actual sound may vary. - Especially Classical music / piano sound that I’m fond of the most.
Parker duo (36-40khz) +-2db
Oscar trio (27-20khz) +- 3db
Lower bass part...
Hello,
I’d like to ask your general opinion and experience.
Of course, I plan to hear (if possible) both to make the final call,
but would like to know possible long-term experience.
A room is about 14ft x 13ft, a dedicated listening room with couple acoustic panels.
My question is...
So far, if I take the spike route, it seems I need to put it down with enough height to stabilize the speaker solely on enough (2”+) height.
I think the idea behind this is separating the speaker from the floor.
Hello,
Some speakers have 4 sets of pucks (made of thermoplastic) in its bottom.
I think it would work great on hard floor.
But how about carpeted floor? Can I just put this puck foot on the carpet?
Or should I replace it with spike?
Or should I put kind of plate (Isolation Base) between...
While staying in Asia, I happen to hear good thing about Marten’s new line up Oscar Trio.
Marten has introduced its new model Oscar Trio and now some stores in here insist it’s better than Miles 5.
It reminds me Magico’s A3 and S1 situation a bit. Or Wilson’s Sabrina and the above.
- No change...
Thank you for the information.
My challenging part is trying to find one to hear. It’s very difficult in the US.
In case of Odeon, there’s no US dealer and Canadian dealer is not interested in selling one. :(
Thank you for the advice.
So far I find DAC and Network Streamer that I want to buy here.
Both are almost same spec (consumption 5-10w, 50w max),
Just to be clear (sorry, I don’t understand clearly) - Is the transformer I mention enough?
Or do I need additional device?
Nice company. Thank you for the information.
In Japan I’ve found Accuphase has really interesting price.
I got some stuff (DAC + Network streamer) from China and Korea using 220v.
I agree. I think as long as transformer has enough capacity, then there would be no problem at all (no weird noise, jitter.)
In Asia, Japanese stuff (this I understand) have really attractive price, especially in person. Accuphase is a true gem in here.
Also, somehow (this I don’t understand)...
Thank you for sharing the experience. I thought that Hammond is B2B.
I will ask the transformer manufacturer too, yet, honestly I was worried that the manufacturer might do not care very small difference (which is a big deal for me) of sonic character.
Hello,
I find an interesting DAC oversea, and want to use it at home. (US)
I’m wondering if using Step-down transformer affect Sound Quality.
Here are the specification.
1) DAC
- Power Supply: Factory set to either 100-120. 220-240V AC 50/60Hz
(It is set for 220-240V, with Type F consent...
