Danny said the SVS cabinets are very strong but adding NoRez would be helpful with resonance. This made wiring everything together a bit challenging. One held the tweeter and woofer circuits while the other one held the mid range driver circuit. This required wiring the crossovers on to two separate pieces of wood (each 6" by 5"). The center channel includes two subwoofers, a tweeter and a mid range driver. The upgrade, for me, was a bit complicated and time consuming. Yesterday, I finished wiring the new crossovers and installing them. As far as I'm concerned, the digital (mostly DSD) music files will have a safe and robust journey from NAS to my pre/pro.įinally! Here it is a month since my last post and I now have all the parts to complete the upgrade. Once I get the switch installed, I am done. No so bad for everyday use but can greatly affect audio data transmission. Apparently, local LANs can have "jitter" issues. My last change will be to include fidelizer's EtherStream network switch (have not received it yet). The program converts DSD to PCM then sends the data via HDMI to my pre/pro (so it can apply Audyssey settings, crossover, etc.). I also got help from JRiver forum users to help me set up the program for best use. ![]() I also decided it was time to install Fidelizer Pro. I think all of this had a positive effect (but it could be the "placebo" effect). Since the computer no longer stores music & videos, I removed all hard drives except the SSD "C" drive, upgraded ethernet cables, made sure modem, router NAS and PC are all connected properly and deleted the vast majority of PC programs and turned off many Windows functions. I've gone through "far too many" YouTube videos and audiophile magazine articles that my head hurts. Of course, I could buy an audio server but didn't want to spend the money. Since the PC is only used for music/movie playback (using JRiver MC 27) I decided it was time to make sure it is working optimally. But, since then I have added a NAS to hold all music and movies. Meanwhile, aside from cleaning and rewiring my components, I tackled my PC. Danny said he has DHL tracking on the parts. I've spoken with Wayne at Bluejeans (he is VERY responsive) while re-wiring everything and he has been helpful and reassuring. By the way, I use Bluejeans cables for everything. Cleaning and re-wiring all the electronics will make sure the signal going to the speakers will be as good as possible. ![]() I will continue updates to this thread plus my thoughts on the speaker upgrades. Retirement gives me the gift of time to do this. It is a labor of love and I am just about done. I am also trying to organize better the "rats nest" of cables. ![]() They do a great job keeping components cool BUT what a mess of dust buildup (I do live in Las Vegas). I have on top of my two amplifiers and my pre/pro AC Infinity AIRCOM T8 fans. My wife thinks I'm crazy OCD about all of it (hahaha). WOW! COVID has certainly driven his business through the roof!Īnyway, since my speakers are on hold, I took the opportunity to completely tear apart my electronics and cables. Danny released a video just this morning saying that he is receiving upwards of 100 emails a day (and he is trying to answer all of them) plus folks are sending him a huge volume of speakers for his analysis and upgrade proposals. My center channel speaker is also on hold for some parts on order. He is not shipping the bookshelf upgrade until he has everything in stock.
