Never heard either speakers. Found Room Perfect has less positive effects on well measuring speakers and rooms. Makes sense, if not broken it has a smaller correction.
Would assume the LS50 will not benefit as much as normal. Appears to be very well engineered. Not familiar with the Lyngdorf...
The XLS 2002 is the better option. Has twice as many amplifier modules and filter capacitance of the XLS 1502. Should be capable of twice the instantaneous current.
There is DSP that will allow true low frequency output.
I voted with credit card. Got a pair of Orchard BOSC or Starkcrimson before Christmas. Purely power amp, performance is better than needed. Like the lower gain it offers.
I had completely forgotten this about this thread.
Never purchased an AP analyzer, did rig up a low Rez testing system.
Integral sound card in a 2012 Mac Mini. REV. Focusrite Clarett 4Pre.
Noise floor is fairly high, the sound card is a limiting factor. But 16 bit range.
A 30 meter coiled...
My ignorance shows here. I was thinking of ordering a TDAI-1120. But use Purr Music playback software.
Does not appear that it is possible to hardwire the digital feed from the computer into this streaming amplifier. My good options are USB, Thunderbolt, and FireWire. There is a low...
Couple items. Replaced a Focusrite Clarett 4Pre with a KRK Ergo. Owned for 10 years.
Big PITA. Was using a 10 meter Corning TB cable to connect interface to computer. FireWire is like USB, shorter is better. Like having computer on one side of room and stereo on the other. Requires a 10 meter...
For analog I use these two brands primarily. For USB the USB cables that come with the external hard drives work fine. All are 3.0 now.
Purchased my first and only audio brand data cable years ago. Audioquest FireWire cable. Also a bottom tier.
Cut it open to see what was inside. Did not...
Watch out for dealer (or seller) feedback. I was interested in the M Series of amps from Micromega. They have their own DRC system.
I saw a M-100 used for a reasonable price. Contacted seller and it was obvious he was a dealer selling either demo or at below MSRP.
Wanted to know if unit...
I used an ES series SACD player around 2002. Was very nice. Moved on to Marantz afterwards.
If you read here, the dac section is bit transparent once the resolution reaches 16 bits. This is way below the measured performance of many modern dacs.
Headphone amp is another story. Some are...
Volume control (attenuators here) does not operate like this. It reduces the input signal to the amplifier. If the output level is low (> 2 volts) it is set higher or wide open say. If the source has high output voltage the attenuators can reduce the input signal level.
This is why the volume...
This lack of filtering in the EVALUATION board can be addressed. Spectral used to recommend high capacitance interconnect cables to provide bandwidth limiting.
Same should work here.
Or an easier solution, change it to Hanscrafted. Got to be one there at the plant.
BTW, very nice. Know nothing about sound, or lack of. Or input section. But one of these would sing sweetly with my 100 dB+ efficient speakers.
Thank you for building these products.
