| Speaker cables Agree totally with Jmcgrogan2 on the Nordost. I will never buy Nordost Red Dawn again, or any other Nordost. | |
| Connecting Preamp to AVR Zd542, I understand, and you are probably right that a new phono pre would sound better. But his issue with using tape out is that then he cannot use the controls of the hk725--I think. The source inputs of the avr7550hd are independently programa... | |
| Connecting Preamp to AVR I had an hk725 years ago and actually had all controls bipassed by a tech except for volume and balance. The improvement was huge and made it into an excellent pre. Can't you use tape out and use the controlls on hk7550hd to adjust for balance, to... | |
| Wire differences explained common sense Ok. You must be the silver wire. | |
| Wire differences explained common sense Does any audiophile think that two cables identical in every way--plugs, dialectric, shielding, quality of the wire, guage--except that one wire is copper and the other silver--does anyone think they would sound identical? I don't. I suppose this ... | |
| Wire differences explained common sense Too logical. | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one Some audiophiles are having the hk Citation 16 refurbished. I'm sure they consider them keepers for life. When I think of keepers for life I think of the old stuff like the the Macs, the Marantz, the hk tubes--the vintage stuff. | |
| DAC newbie question Need this in my page. Printer quit working. Sorry. | |
| Does treble response beyond my hearing matter? If I am interpreting accurately what you mean, frequency response matters beyond the range of human hearing. Amplification with a wide frequency response is generally accepted to mean a greater linearity (sound quality) in sound reproduction. Most... | |
| Should I Get a DAC ? Forgot to mention--you have to set Dolby Volume on Medium in order to get the Reference Setting and then adjust the Calibration for your speakers (system), a feature which seems to have escaped most critics and users. | |
| Should I Get a DAC ? Lowrider,My symptoms are exactly the same as yours: live music and canned laughter are killers. I would add that when the harmonic distortion from tube gear comes together at the high end, the effect is ear-piercing to me, but that is apparently n... | |
| Should I Get a DAC ? Thanks, Grannyring. My thoughts were to address the issue of jitter--probably through Empirical Audio--rather than cable solutions which mask the issue. Very glad for your reinforcement. | |
| Should I Get a DAC ? Cool! Wish I had your power. Yes, I'd try the soft dome tweeter, too. | |
| Should I Get a DAC ? Forgot to mention Steve's BNC cable with RCA adaptors between transport and pre pro also helped a lot ($250 plus ship). But have no other high end cable with which to compare. I have Audioquest Diamondback between pre pro and amp and would like to... | |
| Should I Get a DAC ? Thank you, Lowrider57. Your "coming out" helps me. I have never been diagnosed with Hyperacusis, which I will research, but I am a diagnosed gifted dyslexic with hypersensitivity in vision and hearing.I agree that SS is not necessarily the problem... |
