Mr Peabody replied to a thread Should Audio Components Sizes Be Standard? in General Audio Discussion

I may not have been clear, I was sort of giving both sides of the coin. In order to make a small unit fit on a regular shelf without looking odd due to space you'd have to enlarge the chassis. This would leave a lot of space. Like if you took a...

Mr Peabody replied to a thread Buchardt S400II speakers In-Bound in Speakers

Looks to be a Danish company that sells direct. There are reviews but I haven't read them yet. Look forward to your comments and how the sound compares to Dynaudio. One thing I found interesting they use paper cones yet only 87 dB. I suspect...

Mr Peabody started a thread Should Audio Components Sizes Be Standard? in General Audio Discussion

I borrowed this idea from Future Audiophile who ran an article on the subject, I thought it might be fun to see what you guys think. I sort of laughed to myself when a member talked about building inserts to fill in gaps in his stand but as I...

Mr Peabody replied to a thread Which Esoteric amp? in Esoteric

Isn't the S02 discontinued? There are quiet fan options you could use to dissipate some of the heat. If you have an Esoteric front end with the current drive peature you can get even more from the amp.

Mr Peabody replied to a thread *NEW* Esoteric N-05XD in Esoteric

I would add if your friend was not using a section of the N05xd the networking and preamp section can be turned off. In my case I just use the DAC section and this is how I configured mine.

Mr Peabody replied to a thread B&W to be “spun off” in B&W

My take is Bones is correct the company had a vision/plan for use of Sound United. There was an earlier article published on this and demonstrated by Denon's ear buds that measure the inside of your ear canal for sound optimization. Keep in mind...

The best I have ever heard with SF was being driven by Jadis. I've heard Sonus with several brands the Jadis combo is the only one I'd actually could listen to. Personally I feel Mac & SF are not doing either favors by showing together. I have...

Mr Peabody replied to a thread To clock or not to clock? in Esoteric

Why would the clock not work if you use USB out from the source? I would be USB to DAC then 10 MHz connection from DAC to clock. Bottomline the clock would not do me any good because I only have the DAC with the 10 MHz connection?

Mr Peabody replied to a thread To clock or not to clock? in Esoteric

The owner's manual does not. I read the G05 just this morning and it's very vague. It tells you how to hook it up and that's about it. I'm not the OP. In my situation I only have the ACS10 going to the N05xd via USB. So I could connect the...

I found this, just an example of why I'm in the dark. One Master to Rule Them All Which brings up another point — there can only be one master clock in a digital system. If multiple devices are trying to be the word clock master or each is running...

Mr Peabody replied to a thread To clock or not to clock? in Esoteric

Then what is the 10 MHz connection for? If it's as you say it seems all sources should connect to the clock, pass through it then out an output which then would go to the DAC. From what you are saying a clock would not do me any good using USB...

On another thread someone said using the 10 MHz connection the external clock takes the place of the DAC's internal clock. Some friends say clocks won't do anything unless you have more than one component plugged into them which the clock would...

I wouldn't expect movies on thumb drive. This didn't even take off for music unless you downloaded your own. It's just not a format that was ever pushed and with the majority of people fine with streaming any hard media is going to struggle.

I feel your experience is the exception not the rule. I can't recall ever having a defective BD and I have a large amount. I've even had good luck buying used from Red Box. However, I have always used a disc player.

Using the 10 MHz connection from DAC to clock won't do anything when using USB for the digital connection? I was thinking of adding a clock someday but only have USB as an option.
