Thanks man ! I appreciate the support. Too bad the USB out STILL after over a year won't do bitperfect via the Amazon App for Apple or PC. Fucking Boneheads ! Their GUI on the Fire TV Cube is pretty cool and they have made some improvements to the Bluesound App for Amazon Music.

I'm still not a fan of his chan.el but I still watch just to see up he's up to. Thanks about the Dogs.

It was the blown tweeter and your video on the Dynamat on the horns and woofers that was the inspiration. I just took wayyy further. Thanks for watching. Glad to see you are making videos again.

@@joeygsaudiochannel3972 I hope I didn’t lead you astray. The Dynamat really helps!

Thanks. Subscribed btw!

@@thebostonaudiophile Thx Man for the support. My Videos are hit and miss (mostly miss...🤣) but the subscribers are great supporters. I don't do Patreon but I've been procrastinating doing a live stream again. I'm in AZ so I'd have to consider time zones as well.

@@joeygsaudiochannel3972 Same here, no Patreon. Just trying to share with other audiophiles!

You need Subwoofers. These things roll off below 40Hz the further away from the wall. But I threw 70's Prog Rock, lots of Jazz/Jazz Fusion, & Classical Big Symphony stuff. The held their own pretty good.

I’m wondering if the Born in the USA 🇺🇸 is also sourced from the Plangent Process masters. I’ll check the credits again. But I don’t recall it mentioned. It would be nice if it was.

I’m pretty much in the same frame of thought as you Steve. I’d love to do a head to head to head comparison with our AZAVCLUB between the new Stellar DAC and DirectStream MK1 & MK2. Along with the original SGCD preamp from a few years ago that I had.

Fair enough but DSD was/is used by these reissue "Houses" and major labels (ok...20+ years ago) to capture those tapes as accurately as possible. Also even on cheap equipment, I was able to easily hear the difference between PCM & DSD playback (down converted to 88.2kHz/24 Bit. MoFiGate was pure utter bullshit. "I hear Digital".....give me a fucking break. NO RECORDING ENGINEER in there right mind wants to go back to tape anymore for live or studio recording. Recording to DSD is the ultimate but not practical. A close friend of mine whose been a Recording Engineer for 55 years loves DSD for mastering purposes but uses 48kHz/24Bit cause it easily SMPTE for Video should a client need to sync his recording to Video. All my LP transfers are DSD64 even though my Tascam DA-3000 is capable of DSD128. If I were to take the Tascam to one of my friends PHX Chamber Music Performances. I can easily tap the 2 monitor channels off the live mix and record in DSD128.

Admire your passion.

I use AES/EBU going out from my Tascam DA-3000's PCM output into my PS Audio's AES/EBU input when I'm playing my LP's live and technically it's "live" DSD playback.

Thx Carmin. Good morning to you as well. Just grab any SACD player with an HDMI out ---------> then grab a Chinese HDMI Video to HDMI I2S and plug it into your DAC and you are no longer at the mercy of the crap DAC in your SACD players analog outs.

Thanks for the well thought out response

@@davestevens4193 all you needed to know, really.

Which Speakers did you upgrade ? Just curious.

🤣 Thanks Man !

And that’s exactly what he says I his videos. Sometimes the upgrades cost as much as the Speakers do. He does warn people. He’s honest. There’s no arguing that.

Exactly. I’ve mentioned that before and people still just want to argue. If you don’t like Klipsch why are you buying something with sounds so unique as a Klipsch speaker?

@@philipketchum1407 Easy to sit back and make that judgement about what people should buy. Knowing Klipsch, or any brand, has a sound signature and fully understanding said sound signature are two different things. Hype about mass manufactured speaker is rampant. Klipsch is near the top of the list for having a strong following simply based on the brand. Owners send speakers to Danny because their preference has changed or they hear a problem. Danny measures, shows all the measurements before and after. Completely up to owners to decide if they want to modify. Danny has said over, and over, and over that every speaker is designed to a price point. You can see the cheap parts in every video. You can hear the resonating enclosures. If you like how those things create a sound signature, enjoy. Danny clearly explains what he does and why. Make you own choice, there is nothing to argue about.

@@jfritzy4358 ok that’s fine. I’m not gonna argue with your points. However you missed my point. So I will have this conversation. I’ll sum up my point again at the end. I’m a retired electronics engineer. I have been into this stereos journey from the time. I assembled my first system in the mid 70s with the typical Marantz 2252, Ohm bookshelf speakers, Thorens 160 table and a Pioneer cassette player. I currently have a room full of modern and vintage equipment. I also refurbish vintage gear as a hobby. One reason is because I prefer to have the ability to assemble countless systems that match the genre of music I want to listen to for that day or week. I listen to about everything from around the world. So I personally don’t like the route of a one size fits all approach. Most do and that’s fine. I’m also a strong believer in your money your choice. That’s all fine with me. I have owned many Klipsch speakers over the decades. From the extremely disappointing Heresy to the Kornerhorns. I still own the LaScalas and Chorus 2 because I feel they fit my needs the best from Klipsch. I even have the bedroom friendly RP-600. I currently have Maggie’s, Goldenear and many more. And sold many speakers through the years. I know all about “house sound” or Danny’s favorite “built to a price point “. Side note, everything is built to a price point. Even $250,000 speakers are built to a price point! “Sound stage”. “Speakers disappearing”. Blah blah blah. All of these RUclips channels are just small business advertising or income driven from views and likes. Or even sometimes they are entertainers. They all have their style. And if brick and mortar stereo shops still existed in vast numbers most of these channels wouldn’t be here. You could simply go and get the truth first hand. The direct to consumer business model created these channels. You can pick up a little tidbit here and there from these guys but getting people hooked on their eco chamber is what most of this stuff is about. Danny is a small business pushing his company partially by tearing into mid level off the shelf speakers. He’s not some godsend to the community. He has an agenda just like Jay’s channel or Mikey, which is to hire them for their consulting. If you like their product then support their work just like any business. Andrew & Christy, Ron or Cheap Audio man make more of a living from their channel entertaining with a personality. They put effort into giving opinions in an entertaining style with no proof to back anything up because their models don’t need to. And then there is the measurement channels. They may help a little bit before ordering online because you can’t hear it in person. But no one listens to measurements. In my opinion those channels have the least value. All that behind said. And all the noise out of the way my point is this. Klipsch who has been in existence since 1946 long before Danny was even born, building speakers not only to a house sound but for a specific mission. And other than some brands that are not even produced anymore like Altac Lansing, Klipsch is absolutely unique in their products. Side note, the RP and other home theater speakers are a completely different entity from the Heritage speakers. Klipsch Heritage are not for the average enthusiast and are not “audiophile speakers”. They are their own category. A good analogy for Klipsch Heritage would be the Jeep CJ vehicles. They are built for a unique purpose. And like Jeep CJ’s the Heritage line has been pulled into the mainstream as a different type of life style. But you don’t purchase a Jeep CJ and thinking you are gonna get luxury out of it. You shouldn’t buy a Heritage Klipsch and think you will have a Wilson, Magico or an open baffle with an upgrade kit. Yes like a Jeep CJ you can mod and tweak a Heritage Klipsch. But it’s still gonna be a Klipsch. It’s dynamic, in your face, loud and gives you that live stage experience that others simply don’t do. They are not flat and shouldn’t be. I’m sorry but flat response = boring most of the time. Go to the Klipsch FB group of like 400,000 strong and read what the people said about the RP-600 upgrade that got all of this started. Most changed them back or dumped them on the market afterwards. Now if Danny and his 10 or so mods and a handful of after-market updates actually acknowledged the uniqueness of Klipsch in his episodes that would be a good and educational thing. And yes he may slip a little hint now and then but he does not emphasize it as he should. He gets sales by having this adversarial approach with the Klipsch name. And he doesn’t even put effort into explaining that there are 2 distinct Klipsch products. My point is, People like Danny don’t help the stereo community out with these episodes. if you don’t want that extreme and polarizing house sound don’t buy that speaker. Just like you shouldn’t buy a Jeep CJ as a daily driver for your family. If you have a Klipsch passed down to you or something and don’t like it, sell it and buy what you do like. But this nonsense that Danny is creating is just a business model. Don’t get me wrong I Like Danny’s channel but I see it for what it is. Just like Jay, Mikey, Ron, Erin and the rest. They are just what they are. That being said, anyone can think anything they want and spend their money anyway they want. Including paying shipping and all that cost if they want. But I can also, give my opinion from my 50 years of experience. And that’s my take on all of this. Take it or leave it

@@philipketchum1407 My experience is a remarkably similar journey to yours in years, career, and audio interest. Have built and refurbished many amps, pre-amps, tape decks, turntables and speakers. Long before discovering Danny, I started tearing down speakers, modifying, and rebuilding for myself and friends. Quality of every component matters. That is one of Danny's main messages. What Danny does is absolutely NOT nonsense. Following your own path based on personal preference is fine. However, you seem to have a personal issue with Danny operating a legal business the way he pleases. Owners send him speakers. Danny initially evaluated submitted speakers free gratis and offered suggestions to the owners. The occasional video was made briefly discussing results. That free service grew quickly into something more time consuming than imagined. Happy customers spread the word. As any good businessman, Danny identified an opportunity. You do not have to partake. Criticizing the motives of others with curiosity and interest in possible improvements is not a positive for the audio community. Saying Danny does not help the stereo community comes across as a bit arrogant an bitter. Have to question how many of Danny's videos you have actually watched. He has shared a large amount of information, learned over years, that most people would keep to themselves.

yes cornwall 3

Crites is awesome ! I did some email exchanges with Michael Crites. He basically told me to get the Mundorf Gold/Silver/Oil Capacitors (don’t change any values) for the Tweeter HPF and use Aluminum in Oil for everything else. Inductors he said I could stick with factory ones but I’ve always been a big fan of copper foil inductors for 30 years now (my 1st DIY back in ‘94 had Solo foil Inductors). So I went with Mundorf copper foil Inductors EVERYWHERE ! Sounds fantastic !

Yep. They will ALWAYS be my favourite Speakers of ALL TIME ! Warts and all. They ain't perfect but damn, they sound great when setup correctly. I run tow stacked pairs of Sealed Box 901's. No foam rot issues. The ones on the top are from 1968. The rescue/resto modded the cabinets. and replaced the grill material. The bottom ones are Series 2 and not sown is a 901 Continental I used a balanced miniDSP to EQ them with proper +18db > boosts above 10k and below 100Hz as per the Bose curve. For what Klipsch charges in the Heritage Series is a lot of money new. But then they do have to pay all the great people that work in their factory. I'm a big proponent of "Buy American" when it comes to Audio. I ain't no Turmper (go Kamela !) but I'm not a fan of all the Chi-Fi crap that's out there. There is good Chi-Fi but those products are U.S. designed and manufactured in Asia. A lot of people miss the Palladium Speakers which were bringing Klipsch design into the 21st Century. They also used good quality Crossover components from what I've seen online. Palladium should be brought into the fold. Strange that it was killed many years ago and emphasis placed on all the Heritage products.

Dogs are sleeping plus we could hear every word he said, so no probs here

I tend to be a bit nore relaxed when I do my nightime Videos. The Booze helps 🤣🥃

Setup is everything!! Except for a hand full of speakers like Larsen and Polk SDAs 2nd Gen I get a full Soundstage 15 feet apart and Imaging so tight you can cut it with a knife!! my other systems definitely need the speakers aimed and the right distance from the back wall.

I still don't understand how a "Tube Connector" is better than a standard binding post. Also his "shielded Speaker Cable". I don't understand how it can change the sound. PVC jacketed wire is used EVERYWHERE ! Hi End, Mid End, Low End HiFi. Sounds fine to me.

Different dielectric, different caracteristics , different sound, but thats for that last 1-3% improvement....

Yeah that whole "Wall of Sound" comment made no sense.

On the Cornwall IV's, the midrange horn is enlarged and they added those "Mumps" radiuses curves to control directivity an not give that "Horn" sound.

Thank you Ed ! Love the quote. Excellent review of Leo DAC/Streamer Digital Preamp BTW. Watched it this morning.

I feel your pain. In Canada, I had my own A/V room in the Basement that my Wife & I built. Years later, we moved two a two bedroom apartment in Scottsdale, AZ and now our home in Phoenix. Imagine running 5 Bose 901’s in an Apartment ! We had good neighbors. Very rarely would I get. Knock on the door 😂.

@@joeygsaudiochannel3972 Hah lucky! We currently just watch movies with apple airpods... We miss movies sooooo much... Moving into an apt must have HURT.

I know of the great English Engineer Alan Blumlein. The inventor of Stereo and of course the Blumlein mic technique of crossing two mic over each other. I won’t use ANY room correction since I’ve treated my room as best as I can on a budget. Plus I listen to pure DSD and I refuse to convert DSD to PCM via Roon or anything else. I do agree with you that while I’ve heard Danny’s N Xtreme open baffle with dual stack h frame subs over at Ron’s house a few years ago which are incredible but require LOTS of room to breathe.

​@@joeygsaudiochannel3972Room Correction is not always required but in one of my experimental systems it does crosstalk cancellation and active room correction... That's the only way to fix listening with speakers pointed @ U the 200 microsecond missing ear to ear when cancelled gives music a true 3d lifelike Soundstage. On Alan it wasn't just microphones he also had speakers designs with subwoofers in his archives from the 1930s. I'll say this America was so steeped in Mono there is some catching up to do in Stereo and it ain't Atmos. My research shows those British didn't let everything cross the pond for Stereo and Americans took their best guess.

They only sounded good with the Galion speakers that Thomas lent me. ruclips.net/video/ob5BV5EMLpo/видео.htmlsi=CuSJmX4MCtQutd1m

@@joeygsaudiochannel3972 aah ok, got it, thanks Joey!

Nah Brah. Doge (now Galion) copied a Jolida design (Jolida is now rebranded as Black Ice Audio...still assembled in Maryland, U.S.A. The PCB's are designed here but manufactured in China (for now...It's Jolida's own OEM Factory for over 30 years !). There are plans to move PCB manufacturing back here to the U.S. Hope I set the record straight for you. As always, feel free to call Jaime or Jerred if you are interested in any of the Black Ice Audio offerings. I'm a Schill and a Fanboy so my opinion is "biased" (get it...."Try the Veal Folks")

@@joeygsaudiochannel3972 thanks for clearing up the confusion.

@@seanb3303 I hope I didn't come off as nasty or as a smart ass in my comment. So many people have asked the same question. It's buyer beware out there and many RUclipsrs aren't helping.

@@joeygsaudiochannel3972 not nasty at all i appreciate when content creators have an opinion. I like thomas for example but he uses so much hedging language it drives me nuts 😀

@@seanb3303 I like Thomas too. Look at the Bose 901 Video I did on his channel four years ago. When he decided to buy Doge and use it to promote his new Amp Company. We ALL went....wuh ??? But he's having fun with it. We talk at least once a month on the phone.

That’s A LOT of memory. I’d like to get my hands on a Sony compatible SACD player for ripping SACD’s. If you have a player all setup. We could make a day of it…..::Seriously

I don’t buy that excuse anymore. As you’d mentioned in your previous comment. The pins already already there on the DAC chips (AKM & ESS for what it’s worth). It’s literally Pennie’s for them to implement.

​@@joeygsaudiochannel3972PS Audio is somewhat disingenuous in their statement about the HDMI connector. 1.Audio has never had End to End standards for any interface , Speakers, Interconnect, Example: TosLink is a common interface some devices top out @ 96khz others 192khz rarely 384khz 2.Leo may not even know this but the fire alarm industry mandated Voice Intelligibility a few years before entered that industry, that change forced the design of better amplifier circuits. At the highest levels of Life Safety FIRE ALARM design is more of an art than regulation when I do a system like the Wynn hotel or Hudson Yards. 3. The Biggest problem with Audiophiles all of the interfaces RCA, Coax, TosLink can have a mismatch in voltage or consistency of data rate, impedance. 4. I've got a pallet of AMPS and Integrated's used for testing on a Killer DAC, The problem going back 30 years everybody built it differently in some cases the same manufacturer. 5. I learned a lot about input/output matching and that most problems in the digital realm is overdriving/clipping yes digital clips !!!! @ the digital level even. 6.DSD was designed for an archive of Masters that is straight from SONY so they won't come out DSD thru I2S with bypass of the copyright protection. That is why no SONY device has IS2 out.

Interesting. Would you mind leaving a link to the HDMI breakout? Thanks

It was a lot of hard work but worth it. thanks for watching.

DO NOT BUY PS VANE !!!!!!! Go with the A75. I'll be honest. Sonic signatures are so similar its not funny. Saved yourself A LOT of "money for nothing" and" just turn on, tune, in, & drop out"

Agreed. But those Doge Amps use a bunch of logic circuits on top of however they built their Auto Bias that it can fool you into thinking your Tubes are bad when they really are just unstable. DON'T BUY PS VANE !!!!!

Thank you. That was my whole point of the Video. Cheers, Joe

I try my best 🤣. Thanks for watching. I was busy/lazy the last couple days but I'm gonna knock a few more out in the next couple days.

I'm working on another quick one for today. 🤣

I'm glad you got a good laugh out of it. That was the whole point. Thx again for watching.

Doesn't surprise me. Why learn when you can copy/paste/add a few Tchotchke's and a fancy box with some decent marketing. My PCB layout skills are rusty but I need to get back into Kii Cad again. I still haven't given up on my desire to do all surface mount (1% metal film resistors/low ESR Caps version of the Series 1 & 2 EQ's.

@@umiami91 It was worth me sneaking my tape deck on nighshift at the time 🤣. Thanks for watching Mike !

I saw them in Toronto in ‘87 & ‘94. At the ‘87 show someone rolled a cigar sized joint in our row and passed it down (germs……wha dat). It was “Cat assed” all to hell by by the time I got it but got so high that I fell asleep during the Wall medley. They opened with Echoes (I was straight ….honestly) and it was a great show. From our “cheap seats” you could see a haze of smoke hovering over Exhibition Stadium 😅. We were sitting near the surround speaker stack so the “Echoe” (pardon the pun) was literally in our faces. Welcome……welcome…..my…..my….Son……Son…..you get my point now. Imagine being high, it was not a good experience. Fast forward to ‘94. I would even drink a Beer before the show and insisted to my friends that I stay straight throughout the show. It was so worth and we had great seats in the stands at Exhibition Stadium again. Good times Ed. Thanks again for watching. I’m sure you’ll hit 10k by years end.

I was surprised too !

Yeah that Hallway actually doesn't affect it really. There's no "corner" there is a wall for reflection. I always preferred a diffuse Surround effect instead of direct & localized. Thanks for watching.

I saw them twice. Toronto 1992 for the We Can't Dance Tour and again Toronto for the Turn It On Again Tour. What was supposed to be a reunion tour with Gabriel/Hackett never came to fruition.
