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... | |
Cable question SR cables take time to settle. Keep the shielding on and let the system play as much as possible. Evaluate it later, in few days. | |
totem winds any info Thanks Tvad! Excellent suggestion. | |
totem winds any info I think he already has the Winds at home. I'd run the Totems for 100 hours and then return to Dali, run them for 100 hours and then switch to Totem. neither pair is fully broken in. Too early to judge anything. Also, remember, that when switching ... | |
totem winds any info you should be fine with MC501 and Mc preamp.my only issue with the Winds is that they have no grills. I have a curious little boy running around(although he's been good and he respects the stereo system and knows there are concequences if he break... | |

Tchaikovsky Symphony No. 6 RCA Living Stereo SACD 09-22-08: Kr4None of the Living Stereos are 5.1, in my experience. They are either 3.0/2.0 or just 2.0.KalKr4 (Threads | Answers)when listening to Jamaican Symphony, it can be anything between 2 channel and 7.1 channel surround. All depends on the... | |
totem winds any info few more things I'd like to add to the discussion:the Winds will probably appear to you, at least initially, as having bolder sound with bigger bass impact. Dali MS4 and MS5 that I have heard(I'm sure your 400MkII share same Dali house sound) have... | |
totem winds any info I heard them over the weekend. Loved the sound. Great speakers. They are most likely not as resolving or detailed as the Dalis but they are still very coherent and nicely balanced top to bottom. Very musical and engaging. Can play loud without str... |
