My system is bright? I need help. thanks While I think the Silver Ref MkII are excellent cables, in your case, and I already said that before, the Matrix will most likely be the one. Since you are going cd->integrated without any preamp, Silver in that configuration may be out of plac... | |
My system is bright? I need help. thanks Scientist, you have daisy chained your surge protectors. Besides that you are degrading the performance of your gear by plugging it all into the HTS5100, you also managed to plug that unit into a cheaper, powerbar type surge protector. Has anyone ... | |
New DAC to replace bel canto dac 2 I think I responded to your older thread before, or may be it was somebody else with a similar problem, but in any case, I suggested a Virtual Dynamics NiteII digital cable, with which I had none of the signal drop outs I experienced with other ca... | |
Mark Levinson 434 's enough power for N804??? I think it should be nice.....given the fact you're not listening to heavy metal :) | |
My system is bright? I need help. thanks oh, and you know what else to try....try switching from tube out stage to solid state on cd player then see if the hiss persists/keeps on increasing with volume on your integrated. | |
My system is bright? I need help. thanks Scientist73, I have no idea what is wrong. But in my opinion, the amount of hiss you're getting should not change with different volume settings(although I am not familiar with MF equipment, normally, hiss is not an issue). MF equipment is tubed, ... | |
My system is bright? I need help. thanks try Shunyata Hydra2. only plug your amp there. But the wall outlet should not be hissing. There's something wrong going on. | |
Cable box to outboard DAC I think other is PCM. Try it. If it is something that the dac can not digest, most likely it will not output anything.Just have the volume in your system lowered when you do try it.....just in case. | |
Best cd player under 1K used Sony XA7Eswill best the arcam, rotel, and many others. | |
Analytical, revealing COPPER w/ don’t have much faith in find a silver cable to pair with my ampsHave you tried Acoustic Zen Silver Reference MkII between source and preamp and Matrix Reference MkII from preamp to amp? While I can't call them analytical, this combo is fast soun... | |
My system is bright? I need help. thanks The instruments on Modern Cool disc are recorded super clean, top level quality. It's her voice that screwes things up. On Modern Cool track 3 when she sings "SSSSSetting my being completely....on fire" and on track 8 she sings "Your SSSSSSSSSSSSu... | |
Cable box to outboard DAC hit the settings button on your remote control twice and go into menu and look through the options. | |
My system is bright? I need help. thanks Scientist, you have a lot of good and free recommendations here that you may want to try aside from changing equipment. Tvad's suggestion on speaker positioning is very good. You may want to consider trying that first.I really beleive that in your... | |
My system is bright? I need help. thanks Hey Scientist73, sibilance on Patricia Barber(I am pretty sure you're either talking about Modern Cool or Cafe Blue) is there in the recording like that. It is not your system. The degree of that sibilance will vary from speaker to speaker, some s... | |
I need help choosing my next tube preamp. thanks. At this point I am pretty satisfied with my ARC LS-25 preamplifier. So far I think the preamp search had ended. Thanks again for your recommendations. |
