| Krell Evolution 402 Vs. Pass Labs X.5 Series? if you had your system voiced with certain components, cables, etc and you had synergy, by introducing a different amplifier you altered that synergy in a negative way.There are possibilities you will have to rework a lot of things.What was wrong ... | |
| Please recommend hearing protection Thanks Rushton. I'll find out if he ever tried these. He said he tried several different ear plugs but they alltered the sound too much. If he didn't try these yet, this may be a good starting point on the cheap. | |
| Please recommend hearing protection Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I will give Etymotic a call today. I was thinking may be a shooting earphones will do, but they will most likely alter the sound a lot. We'll see what Etymotic Research says. | |
| Cables Suggestions for My System? AZ Hologram II cna be had for less than $500 depending on length. Very nice cable. Easy to resell too. | |
| dynaudio speakers S 5.4 at least 200w/ch into 4ohms. I'd go solid state or hybrid. I brought my Pass X250.5 to my friend's place to listen to his 5.4s with it and it was an amazing combo. Really nice. Detailed, dynamic and excellent bass definition. | |
| New Patricia Barber cd "Mythology" 2 years later, the new CD. "The Cole Porter Mix", is out.Any opinions? I just heard it for the first time today. I'll hold my comments for now. but do want to hear what others think. | |
| Best amp under $6k, in your opinion? Pass Labs X250.5 or X350.5 | |
| McCormack Amp Upgrades Tube540, if you are planning on doing a full-blown upgrade to the DNA-1, then it will probably total you to about the cost of a used DNA-500, in which case I suggest you opt for the 500. If you want to do the minimalist revision, it's up to you. B... | |
| Wall St. Journal article MaxnewidI wish I could hear the disc at home but I do not have speakers at the moment.I was listening to this on my iPod at work today through my Grado SR60 headphones. it sounded OK for the most part, but since this post, I started paying attenti... | |
| McCormack Amp Upgrades A great example of the improvements that I can give is on Dave Brubecks "Time Out", while Dave is playing the piano, as the hammer is striking the strings, with the stock equipment it sounds as if there is a layers of felt on the hammers and with ... | |
| Do Nordost match with B&W Purist 20th Anniversary Aqueous speaker cables were the best match with my B&W N803. Smooth, clear, transparent and great bass. I owned Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun, Audience AU24 and tried Synergistic Research Tesla Accelerator. The Purist was... | |
| Wall St. Journal article I have the new Metallica CD.I think it is a better recording than St. Anger both sonically and content wise. It is definitely not an audiophile recording, but it does sound pretty good in the car and through my Grado SR60 headphones. I'm in the pr... | |
| McCormack Amp Upgrades enjoy it for a while, then move up to another amp. Another way of trying out an upgraded McCormack amp is to find one used. You rarely recover even 1/2 of the money spent on upgrades when you sell the amp. See if you can find a used upgraded DNA1 ... | |
| totem winds any info I only heard DALI MS4 and MS5.Yes the drums will have more meat on the bone through the Winds. Dynaudio makes great drivers. But their Esotar tweeter is probably the best tweeter I heard. | |
| totem winds any info Mimberman, LOL. No. I liked them for what they are, which is easy to listen to, musical and satisfying. Few things I didn't like about the Winds - they do not have the resolution I am looking for, they are not as precise as I would like and not as... |
