    Any reason not to order the new Buckeye 2nd Gen Purifi EIGENTAKT 2-ch amplifier?

    I own 3 different Buckeye amplifiers (1 Purifi 1st generation, 1 NC502 and 1 NC252). None of them pop on startup or turn off. They are all absolutely spectacular. I use them all of the time and they have been flawless. Dylan is super easy to do business with. Don't waste your money elsewhere.

    FS/US: Mini DSP 2x4 For Sale

    I have a gently used Mini DSP 2x4 for sale. It works perfectly. $85. Free Shipping to anywhere in the lower 48 states. I bought a different Mini DSP so I no longer need this. It's a great way to take the DSP plunge.

    It's totally a case by case basis and depends heavily on the initial design. I do think that high order filters and FIR filters sound more accurate to me. I don't really know what "organic" means in this case, but "accurate" is a term I can work with. But as someone else pointed out here, a...

    Yes, that is true and I could have been more specific here. It's important to do measurements and keep the drivers within their distortion and excursion limits. I guess I could more accurately say that using steep filters can help accomplish this in some situations but it depends on the initial...

    The problem with a 1st order filter on a tweeter is that the tweeter will still have a lot of energy below the crossover point and therefore there is a lot of driver overlap with certain frequencies and the tweeter will still have considerable energy below the crossover point that can easily...

    Interesting thread here. I have done some builds with Purifi 6.5" drivers and one build with the Bliesma T34B. If you're looking for low distortion, it's hard to beat either of them. But I saw you mention a 1st order crossover for the Bliesma. That's possible but if you're going to use the...

    More drivers! More is better, right? Hahaha. I haven't heard the 13's so I don't really know. I think the Roxanne's sound a lot better than the 16's. The stereo image is definitely wider and the top end is smoother. Take those words for what they're worth though. It's totally subjective...

    They have a different frequency response also. I can't quite remember what the difference is but I recently tested both of them. I know of several artists who prefer the 13 over the Roxanne's. I have never used the 13's. This is a double edge sword. I have found that the Roxanne's are...

    Jerry Harvey (JH) Custom IEM Review

    These are vague terms for a science review site. "soundstage"= very subjective Those that use them know their tonality well and know how to use them. That's why they've been worn by more performers and engineers than probably any other in-ear. Some newer models comply better with the Harmon...

    Jerry Harvey (JH) Custom IEM Review

    The cost to make them has gone up because of the labor with the people who manage the 3d printing and customizing the shells to fit correctly. It's really difficult to find those specialists for a reasonable price. The cost of drivers in them has also gone up because the drivers are so...

    Precisely. A noisy office environment is a far cry from an arena stage with a PA system spitting out 105db. The fit/seal is 75-80% of the game. Mostly agree. The number of drivers is largely an effort to get sensitivity to be better with the poor amplifiers in the belt packs and keep...

    Jerry Harvey (JH) Custom IEM Review

    If he mixes FOH, then what was he using IEM's for? How loud was he listening? Since he was only listening, would you say that his opinion would be the same if he was one of the performers? Were the Salnotes being driven by a wireless belt pack in the same way that the Roxanne's would be in...

    Jerry Harvey (JH) Custom IEM Review

    That must be an old price on the 13's because they're $1,800 now. The cheaper models barely have a margin for the company that makes them. There are many other costs also, including re-making poor fits and generally servicing the music industry. Properly made custom shelling is time consuming...

    Your comments are very relevant and excellent! The whole head-fi stuff is not something I'm familiar with at all.

    Low distortion drivers for sub-bass in shallow sealed cabinets

    The Purifi 10" is about 150mm deep so it's also not gonna work. Have you thought about a redesign on the house in order to accommodate the subwoofer? Maybe if you package it with a new back porch.......

    Low distortion drivers for sub-bass in shallow sealed cabinets

    I've heard some seriously good things about this sub and I plan on building a sealed version of it soon. Seems to work really well in a small sealed enclosure and it has enough Xmax to be considered a weapon. https://www.css-audio.com/online-store/CSS-SDX10-10-XBL%5E2-Subwoofer-p579780762

    I'm no expert on the history of all of this but here's some additional perspective that focuses on the Pro Audio Industry: Marty Garcia, owner of Future Sonics began using in-ear monitors on stage in 1982 with Todd Rundgren. He is arguably the first person to popularize them in Pro Audio. Lots...

    Oh man, can you get clean frequencies for the PSM900?? This is obviously off topic, but given today's RF environment that would be tough
