| Speakers that do pianos really well IMO the sound from your speakers has much to do with your preamp. Decay, heft to the notes, blending, can all be attributed back to the preamp. | |
| why no recent Merlin speaker reviews? Marakanetz is probably correct but you need to hear them for yourself and not what you read in a mag. If you knew some of the reviewers, their systems and rooms, you probably would wonder why you are reading their reviews. | |
| Oh, the frustrations of the speaker search I disagree that speakers make most of the difference. I think the preamp makes the biggest difference. That is MO. It comes down to some system matching and that just takes experimenting with your own ears. | |
| Tonian Labs He sent me an email asking for my address to mail a check but did not mention the amount so I hope my issues is resolved. Like I have been saying 2M and they are mine but they weren't.P | |
| Tonian Labs Phaelon, what parts? These were demo cables and not in new condition. The ones my friend lent me have very blue jackets. The jackets on these are faded but I could care less if they were the length I thought I was purchasing. He is not saying they... | |
| Top resistors As an update, I installed the naked Vishays and overall found them to be better in my preamp that the other resistors I used. Not a warm sounding resistor but open, detailed and good tone without any edge. Very good clarity. Lucky for me I can cha... | |
| Tonian Labs Thanks Nonoise. I should have immediately sent the cables back when I found that they were 1.5M instead of 2M like advertised. I already have a pair of the cables that my friend now wants back so I already knew I wanted them. It isn't a matter of ... | |
| Pre-amps with seperate power supplies ..... All parts make have a sonic impact (caps, wire, resistors, transformers, even chassis, etc.). Some more than others. Silver and copper wire will sound different. How much of an improvement can only determined when you swap them out. There are bett... | |
| Nordost Valhalla 2 announced A preamp cannot solve this. Depends on the preamp. | |
| Nordost Valhalla 2 announced Bo1972 to me it seems that if you are searching for a cable to widen the soundstage and produce a sharper focus than you should be looking for a better preamp and not a cable. Just my thoughts. | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... My question is - if you have a 2 channel system with all HD cables say 2 ICs, 1 digital cable, 4 power cables and 1 set of speaker cables, maybe a pair of jumpers, what did that cost you overall? I did not take the time to look this up. I am wonde... | |
| Counterpoint - Alta Vista - Mike Elliott contact me through the Alta Vista Audio website. I have the manual | |
| PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better? I got to agree with Vapor1 here and also Dodgealum. I don't post much here anymore because the questions never get answered but comes down to a lot of wienie wagging.Parts do make a difference and they don't have to be laid out in a neat order. Lo... | |
| Now what? You get can the laser assembly and install it yourself. In the newer version of the older Apollo it is just a swap in and out, no adjustments. The newer laser made a big difference in the player although I only use it as a transport with a Museate... | |
| Alon/Nola sound The early versions of the Alon speakers were a little hard on the top and with the open top end design and Alon using a larger woofer in some models IVs & Vs they could sound like the overall coherence and balance was not there and as mentione... |
