| Cable Costs Relative to System Well, my system must have some weird "synergies" because the best sounding interconnects I have heard in my system are the $12.00 Dayton ICs from Parts Express. I tried three other brands of IC, ranging up to several hundred dollars each, and not ... | |
| Just Received my Zero One Mercury Today Some further Observations:No dither still sounds best to me. I don't really hear any difference with the Nyquist and Nshape dither options, except maybe a bit more low-level noise. The TPDF dither initially sounded good, as it seemed to enhance th... | |
| Just Received my Zero One Mercury Today The display is roughly 5" x 2", but the characters are very large - I can easily read them from 15' away, and I'm not 20/20, even with glasses.Alvin responded immediately and thinks my remotes may be "duds". He is having his folks find two that de... | |
| Just Received my Zero One Mercury Today I see everyone is as excited as me...Anyway, I got to play with it a little yesterday, and have the following observations (based on very limited listening):The CD player is very good, and sounds about equal to the other high-end units I have hear... | |
| Zu Druid questions OK, I'll remember from now on:No digressions from simple answers to simple questions.Thanks for filling me in on the rules here. | |
| "Great RCA interconnects under $100?" I use the Dayton interconnects that are about $12 at Parts Express, as short as will fit. They sound great to me. | |
| Zu Druid questions As an analytical chemist for over 25 years, I know that there are many measurements one can make of a system, be it a chemical system, a biological system or a sound system, and that we do not have measurements that explain every phenomenon precis... | |
| Recommended in-wall Speakers? I'm looking at the Polk TC265i ($700/pr), the Paradigm AMS-350s ($700/pr) and the B&W CWM-800s ($800/pr) at this point (need more bass than the Maggies can provide). The Paradigms seem like the best value (35Hz low end with 2 8" drivers), but ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Still no further Malbec Impressions? | |
| Anyone else regenerating A/C? So how does this compare with the PS Audio P600 unit. It allows you to alter the electric frequency as well as regenerate the power - anyone heard both the PS unit and the Exact Power? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Any further Malbec Impressions? I'm dying to find out how it sounds, especially paired with a Chenin Preamp. | |
| Looking forImpressions of Zu Mini-Method Subwoofer Well, I bought the Mini-Method - $500 off was just too tempting. I'll post impressions after it arrives. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Has anyone here replaced the umbilical cable on the Chenin/Syrah with an upgraded one? The stock cable is not shielded, and I wonder if shielding might lower the noise floor some, since it is routed in close proximity to a lot of other equipment (... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Just finished an extended listening session with the Chenin, and I'm very impressed, although I've only listened to the linestage so far. Very tight bass, lush mids, and extended highs. I wasn't expecting better bass from a tube preamp, but I cert... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century It took 2 months, 1 week to get the Chenin. Shipping only took 2 days from Australia to NJ. No power cord was in the box, though - good thing I have a few spares. |
