| Wilson Sophia 2 or Focal Electra 1037 be? Expect a big difference between Sophia 2 and 1027. You will have a lot more bass which will change everything. Not to mention that an additional $5000 should make a difference. And you are swapping them out in the same room? I cannot imagine a roo... | |
| will the day come when? Just look at what happened to vinyl! haha | |
| Need feedback on Rega Mira 3 integrated amp It lacks a little dynamics and doesn't have much bass extension. But if you mate it with small monitors, neither of these will be problems. It will work just fine!Arthur | |
| Wilson Sophia 2 or Focal Electra 1037 be? I would bet the 7" woofers are faster and have better bass definition compared to a single 10". It takes a very large damping factor to control a 10" driver correctly. I would go for the 1037 since you like your 1027. The Wilsons are more precise ... | |
| Cary SLP98 Tube Question I had an SLP98 and I agree with you it can have that tendancy. You must have good speakers - many of them will mask sibilance. A friend of mine also had a Cary SLI80 and ended up having to get rid of it due to sibilance and a general projection of... | |
| McIntosh vs. Accuphase Vx700 - your post is hilarious!!!Arthur | |
| Counterfeit Audio? I just looked at it too and fully agree with Pdreher. Forget about it. :)Arthur | |
| Do your music genre choices change w/ the seasons? My choices change with every hour! I am all over the map every day. | |
| B&W 801D VS. Focal-JmLab Nova Utopia Be Yes, the 926s are really fine speakers. They sound impressive and beautiful at the same time. The more I upgrade my system, the more they surprise me. I have tried several other speakers but keep returning to the 926s. Arthur | |
| How is more than 16 bits better for CD? Jason is right on. Thanks for clarifying it.Arthur | |
| B&W 801D VS. Focal-JmLab Nova Utopia Be A search searches all the words in the title. | |
| How is more than 16 bits better for CD? It is technically called zero padding because the extra bits are in fact zeros. But its benefit is indirect. The real advantage is that it allows the specifications of the anti-aliasing filter to be looser by boosting the sample rate so the super ... | |
| How international is your system? Mostly French and American with Dutch, Japanese and Scottish in the mix. | |
| Counterfeit Audio? There is talk that the Cello gear is actually rebadged (and reworked?) Chinese stuff so it could well be the one you saw was counterfeit.There are also fake cables going around - particularly van den Hul and Kimber too I believe.Arthur | |
| added amp...now hiss from spkr's Some amps have noise at idle and there is no way to fix it. Zero feedback designs are most prone to this problem, of course, and so will always be noisier than those with some feedback. If it was coming from your woofers it could be sub-optimal gr... |
