| Modern amp that has warmth and sound of B&K? Thanks Sturgus, that may be the route I take. With a good going over from Hillig, I may be disappointed if I purchased another amp. Parasound amps have always intrigued me. I always picture them as more of an HT company, butt have ready tons of go... | |
| Modern amp that has warmth and sound of B&K? Yes the B&K is dark sounding to my ears. Not muffled...just darker than neutral. Much more warm than the Pioneer. If I go the used route, how is the long term quality of CJ amps? | |
| I just ordered a pair of Zu Omen Def's I'm getting the amp bug now. The Omen Defs have been sounding outstanding with my pioneer elite receiver. From what I've been reading, a much higher quality amp will bring lots more depth into the soundstage. The Pass Labs amps seem to be a good S... | |
| My new ZU Omen Def's arrived Get this to tell you how stupid I was. I hooked up the Def's to same existing cables. I ran a couple of test tones for placement purposes. I noticed the phasing test one sounded stereo. Come to find out, one of the speakers was wired backwards on ... | |
| My new ZU Omen Def's arrived BTWW, I had Polk stand speakers before. The spikes are rather difficult to adjust. I placed rubber tips (Hardwood floors) on them which makes sliding easier. I will check out the Herbies. I have the speakers perfectly level and about 1/2 inch off ... | |
| Using AVR Direct Mode for external amps When I say assume same price, I really meant same level of quality in theory. Let's say a mid line avr and a mid line pre. Good info. I thought maybe since you were using in direct mode, it would be truly direct. But, the avr still has power suppl... | |
| I just ordered a pair of Zu Omen Def's Looking down the road, there seems to be a lot of nice SS and Tube amps that will mate well. I will have to do much research for the right amp/pre combination. One thing that is important to me for a pre is a remote control. I may go used. As far ... | |
| I just ordered a pair of Zu Omen Def's I am a tweaker all the time. I currently have Polk stand Mounts and I got them dialed in pretty decent. It took a while, plus we added new furniture, rugs, drapes etc that required new tweaking. The only issue I'm going to have (this is a wife iss... | |
| Best speaker design for low to mid volume? It seems many european manufacturers mentioned have quite a selection of very efficient and low volume friendly speakers. I wonder if it is due to the generally "smaller" living spaces that is so common in Europe? | |
| Best speaker design for low to mid volume? So the number of drivers really do not matter as much? It's the overall frequency of the speaker. I was considering the tekton Lores or Zu Omens. However, the B&W 603 towers get great reviews. The Tektons and the Zus do have a money back guara... | |
| An interesting Digital vs. Analog experience There is nothing wrong with being a high end analog lover. Fantastic sound. But, for myself, digital is it. Basically I'm talking non vinyl/tape. I've heard people say"analog is making a comeback with younger people". Maybe true...but 99% is for t... | |
| An interesting Digital vs. Analog experience I think digital, when done right, is fantastic. When the Beatles remasters came out many knocked the sound compared to classic vinyl. I'm sure there is some merit. But, as an audio fan for over 30 + years, I never thought Beatles recordings were "... | |
| Has anyone did a blind test on iTunes AAC vs CD/Lo Realremo, I do not think anyone disagrees about 128 AAC. 256 AAC is the resolution in question. | |
| Has anyone did a blind test on iTunes AAC vs CD/Lo I've only heard a 128 Mp3 and there is a big difference over CD. I've never tried a 128 AAC |
