| Linda Ronstadt/Nelson Riddle Thanks Oregonpapa. Right now ... I'm in the mood for smoooooth and that means it's Linda/Nelson time. I'm spinning Lush Life. Wow!!! Not sure I mentioned this, but I picked up an original Asylum 3 record box set. Really well mastered and pressed. | |
| Tom Tutay Transition Audio Design Preamp Admittedly ... not me. But I have posted a number of comments about Tom before. Search the Forum.Tom is a great guy and a solid tech.Good luck. | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Thanks Al and Andrew. I guess I'll hold up on buying the panels for a bit. I'll wait for future reports. Andrew, it may be that I will bite the bullet and schlepp my whole rig outside one day. Gotta tella ya though ... I am concerned about damagin... | |
| Linda Ronstadt/Nelson Riddle My last post on this thread is over a month old. In it, I referred to my ARC Ref 150 amp which had been recently upgraded to SE status, which included KT-150 tubes. Since then, my ARC Ref 150 SE amp is pretty broken in now. Ok ... so I'm spinning ... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Al,Can you copy the impulse measurements from your best test. In a perfect world, I surmise that all drivers should be in sync. | |
| Feeling Old Anne Meara passed away. Hey Shakey ... right you are. My message was a little shaky. Ben is her son. Thanks for the correction. | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Wanted to post a report about an interesting and enjoyable audio experience. Several years ago, I bought a Best of Roy Orbison 2 record reissue set. I was always disappointed because it seemed that Roy's voice was shifted to the right. It got to t... | |
| Is Vinyl Worth It Who says all ... vinyl recordings are recorded and mastered in digital?? You'll note I deleted the word "today" from the OP's Q. I own a whole bunch of LPs pressed in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Right now I'm spinning a Night Hawks R&B LP that was p... | |
| New Audio Research Reference 150 SE Yes Oregonpapa, I did notice the new wires and the odd twist. That's the part that cost $5,000. LOL NOT :(@Tsushima ... someone else asked me whether the SE upgrade included new PS caps. During a follow up call with Kal, he said no. And he also as... | |
| New Audio Research Reference 150 SE Dull/flat white cans. The new caps are in shinier white plastic cans. As I previously posted, I do not know anything about the innards of the CCs. Why not call or e mail Kal and ask him? I learned my lesson about fiddling around with my amp.In the... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Thanks Andrew. Based on the collective comments coming in from you and Bombaywalla, I am thinking that I am at a "stop point" with speaker evolution. If there is a next step, it may be an off the beaten track approach that Andrew has taken.Btw And... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Thanks again Al and Bombaywalla. More great responses from Al and Bombaywalla. Al, I think your quote about using the DEQX with active x-over function (and I assume this entails multi-amping) answers my driver distortion question:"High dynamic res... | |
| KT 150 Amp Options Concur with positive comments above re the KT-150 tube. I just upgraded my ARC Ref 150 amp to SE status. The SE upgrade includes KT-150 tubes. Bottom line: my amp sounds noticeably better. See the ARC Ref 75 SE and Ref 150 SE threads that are stil... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Al/Andrew/Bombaywalla ... any thoughts about the impact (if any) DEQX has on driver distortion? My guess is that driver distortion is more a function of crossover and driver design and build quality itself. And that it is outside the realm of the ... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? That's a great response Bombaywalla. So, in the absence of owning a speaker that is time coherent/aligned ... like mine which are NOT, the next best solution is DEQX. IMO, I think the DEQX really tamed my speakers and my room. One can drop all the... |
