| How does Boulder equipment avoid obsolescence? For those curious of my diatribe on Boulder the why, I am considering purchasing the 1012 as a one box front end solution and can't help but wonder am i buying old technology here ???If you're looking for a rock-solid performer thats flexible, ver... | |
| need help, IMac to dCS Puccini word clock Not quite sure what you're trying to do, but the Apple iMac does not supply any Word clock signal.The iMac's USB port can only be connected to a Puccini U-Clock's USB input.Or alternatively, connect your iMac's Toslink Audio output to a Toslink-to... | |
| DCS Puccini into Lamm M 1.2 w/o preamp? I guess the results might also be dependent on the distance and cabling between the Puccini and the Lamm. In my case, the Scarlatti is two feet away from the Boulder and uses Balanced interconnects. If there are much longer distances involved, and... | |
| DCS Puccini into Lamm M 1.2 w/o preamp? I've had the opposite experience. With my dCS Scarlatti deck, removing my VTL 7.5 preamp and going direct to my Boulder Amp revealed stunning improvement in all areas, most notably dynamics.The benefits far outweigh any perceptible loss in resolut... | |
| Kharma ceramic blow up I've had the same thing happen with my Kharma too, but I believe there are a couple of mitigating factors...1) Kharma midrange drivers are virtually connected directly to the Amp (whereas the bass and tweeter drivers are linearly crossed-over). Th... | |
| Boulder amps v,s Levinson amps More rubbish from you unfortunately. www.nonamehifi.com/ContentDeta...The link of friends setup. Being most neutral and transparent pairing will not guarantee musical satisfaction. This guy has replaced grand utopia with Kharma Exquisite Midi. I c... | |
| Boulder amps v,s Levinson amps Rubbish. I've run Boulder 1050s with my Kharma speakers for a few years and moved up to the 2060 about 3 years ago. One Boulder-Kharma combination is one if the most neutral and transparent pairing you can get today. Your friend probably had a pro... | |
| Tubes for VTL 7.5 With the Series I, if you're looking for the _Ultimate_ in transparency and dynamics, IMHO go for an original NOS pair of Telefunken ECC803S or ECC802S (lower gain, less audible tube "rush" if you're a nearfield listener, but less dynamic than the... | |
| Kharma Exquisite Reference vs Midi... opinions pls Thanks for your response Bob. Scale and that ultimate effortlessness is _exactly_ what I'm after.You raise a good point about the bass differences. In fact, its the one area that most concerns me about moving to the Refs. The Midi's have an incred... | |
| Levinson 33H vs Boulder 1060/2060?? Mtkhl567, did you listen to the ML32/Boulder1050 combination? The No.32 is a stellar Pre-amp, the Boulder 1010 doesn't even come close, what you heard is the No.32 shinning through in your comparative listening. The No.33H - Boulder 1050 compariso... | |
| New room, very small .Speaker Placement??? Mitch, try using Cara Quick to play around with placement.http://www.cara.de/ENU/index.php?load=quick.html (its pretty self explainatory... note that you can actually move the speakers and listening position in the little diagram of the room layou... | |
| Mark Levinson 32 and reliability The No.32's definitely a big upgrade from No.380S even! I owned both for a couple of years. The No.32 is bullet-proof! Like Earflappin, I eventually sold my No.32 to move to Boulder. And since then sold my Boulder to move to VTL 7.5Earflappin,I wa... | |
| SACD Player Shootout Anyone with opinions on how the dCS Verdi-Encore/Elgar+ might stack-up against EMM and Ayre?Excellent review Curriemt11, thanks for this! | |
| Any Boulder pre/power amp users here? Nope, I've not tried Boulder Cables, and have no impression of how they compare with the ones I've tried.However, as far as I'm aware, Boulder, the electronics vendor, does not make cables. In fact, Boulder delivers their Amps with Canare power ca... | |
| Any Boulder pre/power amp users here? Having owned the 1012+1050 combination, and now the 2060, IMHO, Boulders are designed to such standards that cable differences are not as significant as perhaps with other gear (Probably has to do with high input impedances and low output impedanc... |
