Hmm, it's a bit of a bother having to deal with multiple issues. When the highs seem hot, is that at higher volumes or at all listening levels? Does your pre have tone controls? How do you have them toed in? perhaps, aim them out a bit more to diminish the highs. I think it a good idea to try them in the corners. The CF, which stands for controlled focus, is supposed to diminish side reflections and direct more energy to the listener, at least they put that in print. 😀 The rattle sounds annoying. I wonder if it could also be a loose dust cap issue?

👍

While I cant tell which piece of gear sounds better on the vids, I can say, I love the way the Epics handle the female voice, which sounds great on both videos.👍

I'm a big fan of these for remote control on/off power. Been using them for years. one little remote that can control 3 different items. https://www.amazon.com/DEWENWILS-Wireless-Control-Electrical-Interference/dp/B01HWB15FS/ref=sr_1_26?dchild=1&keywords=remote+control+power+switch+3+pack&qid=1630944384&sr=8-26

Anyone need a set of spiked shoes? For your speakers that is. They have ceramic balls. 👍 https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lisacc1i-nasotec-vem-spike-shoes-eliminate-vibrations-with-this-unique-design-tweaks

Amir just gave great praise to Toppings latest, the E50, also a Balanced DAC. Not a bad price either. I am somewhat tempted. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/topping-e50-review-balanced-dac.26219/

I wanted to try a Dac that had balanced outputs and purchased one off of Ebay. The SMSL SU-8 v2. This was my first DAC purchase. I like it. There are newer and better models now from SMSL. Here is a little review from Zeos.

Lol, Yeah I knew I could look it up, seemed more humorous to pose the question instead. I forgot the brother angle, though I watched them all as a kid.

After reading most of this thread, I have one main question: Remind me again: Racer X, He was a friend of Speed Racer, yes? 😀

If memory serves, the Epics takes 3/8” inch threads.

I have an Oppo 93. It will not play SACD's over coax or spidf. it will play DVD audio discs over them though.

I was just reading about this work around for someone with a similar desire over at AVS. They sell on Amazon for under $40 bucks. https://www.avsforum.com/threads/able-to-play-sacd-dvd-audio-over-toslink-from-a-hdmi-extractor-sony-udp-x1100es-how-is-it-working.3214441/#post-60983243

Excellent! 👍 The obligatory picture is welcomed. Look at the size of that Epic horn. Nice space too.

lol, nothing wrong with a little astral traveling.😀 Keep us posted if you bring any of those home.

Hopefully I posted in the Alerts thread. 🤔 Just passing it on. Click the ad link for AVSforum poster.

For those in Minnesota who would like some extra subwoofer action. I think these may qualify. 4 of them. $500 OBO. If not familiar with them, they are the stacked big black boxes on the outside. https://www.avsforum.com/threads/fs-4-thts.3212702/#post-60985407

Another little nature vid, with a nice techno beat.

Heard a couple of drummer jokes on a youtube vid about drummers not too long ago. What do you call a drummer, who just broke up with his girlfriend? Homeless. What is the last thing a drummer says before he's kicked out of the band? Hey guys, "I've got a song"

How about stacking speakers, on top of speakers, on top of speakers? 🤔

Does anyone else have a large white circle covering the like, laugh icons? Wondering what its purpose is?

lol

Sad to see it go. On the bright side, another reason to post some tunes.👍

That is an fairly incredible Youtube vid.

Kaskade. On Your Mind.
