| 3way replacement for my 2way My 2 cents:Try making up your own ac cable using tinned copper with cotton insulation. Duelund and NOS Western Electric are easily available. Much more body and warmth. Throwaway money.Finished cable brands that come to mind are Huffman and Lun... | |
| '' Okay let me ask my digital question in another way ''........ Broadly speaking, a square wave output tends to be more stable. It's inflection points are more clearly defined. With a sine wave the clock often cannot always pick the exact same inflection points. However, as usual 'it depends'. So you need m... | |
| Help wanted spending money and improving my system. Dream question. Lovely system, by the way. A number of the components have been in my wish list at one time or another!I have found that the new tech tweaks will improve a system far more than changing components. I will list the progression whe... | |
| Help wanted spending money and improving my system. Re the PS, apologies. It seems my long msg did not get posted...will rewrite later today | |
| Help wanted spending money and improving my system. PS. In case you explore this path, and need DC power supplies, check out iFi. Best bang for the buck and though they are smps's, they have replaced all my fancy LPS's at a fraction of the price with much improved performance and convenience. | |
| How to get into high end digital? (Feeding a DAC) I would start with one switch. See what happens. Top end switches start at circa 700/- so its not as if it would break the bank. Check out reviews. See what other people say about that item. Not to be disloyal, but I find whatsbest and audio... | |

(Feeding a DAC) Have been all digital this last 15 years, and my current thinking is that for digital, unlike many of the views expressed earlier, everything mattters.Simplisticly put, instead of a continuous stream (analog) the music is chopped up (sampled) and ... | |
| Which component to upgrade to improve bass control? Hilde 45Good footers for your speakers will decouple the speakers from the room. You will get crisp bass and way smoother mids and highs. I think when speakers are coupled to the floor the floor itself acts as a radiating body. But I'm no techie ... | |
| Which component to upgrade to improve bass control? Good footers for your speakers will decouple the speakers from the room. You will get crisp bass and way smoother mids and highs. For 5 grand I would strongly recommend critical mass systems footers - LS 2.For me they meant the end of those 'win... | |
| The value of embellishment? Some new clocks have leather wrapped 'ovens'....they claim that in combination with graphene and aluminium the temperature is maintained in very stable way. Stable temp is critical for optimal clocking. This may be slightly off topic as you cann... | |
| The Importance of the Digital Cable Those of you who use fibre for digital should be aware that older transducers use LED's which are slow and not very accurate - the electronics are pretty poor too. I guess most toslink falls into this category. Unfortunately, this pretty much neg... | |
| Bad recordings and high end audio Just saying...Class D amplification needs lots of help to sound punchy, warm and musical in a mid price system. Done right it can make a great and reasonably priced combination with Maggies. I say they need a lot of help, though NAD seem to have g... | |
| Listening Descriptor Chart Great chart. Just used it to add a 0.2 boost at 200 Hz to fatten up voices. Big grin. Thank you. | |
| Is your now then? Mid sixties - friends dad had a Garrard 301, 3 X 16 inch SME arms, ortofon cartridges, Leak amplification and Wharfedales built into the room corners - 5-6 feet high. He used to play our Dylan and Stones albums for us kids when we brought them ar... | |
