| help with speakers that rock, pleeze If money isn't an obstacle, take a peek at Eggleston Andrea IIIws, or just the IIs. At that point or just before it, the Whispers from Legacy should definitely fill the bill... but amp change is going to be a must then. | |
| Best Amp for McIntosh sys.- MC252, MC402, or MC501 Edpowers As a mono block devotee I usually would agree with their use, BUT in this case having heard the 500's on the 100's, the sound was simply too tipped up and edgy when the volume was raised.There are distinct diffs in the sound between the 4... | |
| Best bargain you've ever missed out Not audio In 1971 during my first year in college, I was working at a gas station to support myself while in school. This was a full service station and it provided a towing service too. Late one Saturday afternoon, just prior to my shift ending ... | |
| Best Amp for McIntosh sys.- MC252, MC402, or MC501 From the 252 on up, to the 602, on the Paradigm 100's each level up surpassed the former. The 602 sounding the best... IMO.Personally, I could have lived pretty eaisly with the 402... on the 100's. Primarily due to the expense of the speakers. I'd... | |
| help with speakers that rock, pleeze Not seeing a budget listed here, I'd say perhaps look into the Focus 20/20's by Legacy... or the Silverline Sonata IIIs. Wilson speakers to me seem to be right there as well. Personally I'd rethink both my amp and speakers though, were I you. Spee... | |
| About speaker cables.. Shorter = less change/influence. Termination types also make for better integrity.Some cables don't show fully their addition or subtraction (or both) to the presentation until there is a sufficient amount of it in the signal path.If for ex I only... | |
| Up or Downstream: Which should be more resolving? It all begins at the begining. It can be affected downstream, attenuated, embellished, or enhanced but no loss thereafter is going to be regained.It's always been so, and always will be so.how the signals integrity is maintained as it moves toward... | |
| Up or Downstream: Which should be more resolving? Attention to balance or as many here will submit, synergy, seems to me as much if not more so a priority than is mere resolution, as your own words expressed early on in this post, alluding to a mismatched affair. I see quite a fine line between u... | |
| Name your lame duck artist........ Why is it that people like Michael Bolton, Dr. John, Willie Nelson, Michael McDonald & Joe Cocker live so long and folks like Roy Orbison & Elvis Presly, aned Pavorotti, did not?Possessing a wonderful voice is apparently terminal. | |
| Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others Would you Mind listing your room size & main components here so a better feel can be had by others during your accounts of the varied converters?Also, will the same interface be used on each DAC - playback system? | |
| Amp switcher Catama Ok. Which Niles unit are you using?Goign to Niles audio and selecting PRODUCTS>SWITCHING DEVICES>AUTOMATED SWITCHES... there are a number of switching mechanisms on that page.Selecting any of them reveals a page where the pdf owners m... | |
| Oyaide, Hubble, FIM etc, any consensus on flavors? The flip side of "If it ain't broke don't fix it" is, "If it ain't broke, screw around with it and you might get lucky enough to make it better"... on which the audio industry and many therapists rely.We'll see... or hear... at some point. | |
| Amp switcher Dhoff01 I'll make a note of doing just that. But some back ground researching first with both niles and my tube amp maker.The default path for no possible issues would be of course to shut down or have alrady shut down each amp being switched. Tha... | |
| Oyaide, Hubble, FIM etc, any consensus on flavors? if there's one way to dampen or isolate, there's another. Which is superior seems the issue.$200 for a cover plate allows for a whole lot of trial and error attempts to surpass the carbon fiber ones.Why can't you open up the PSA unit and install o... | |
| Best speakers for 15X14 ft room I'm curious as to this turns out too.I'm guessing you've already put the Dahli's in place and didn't like the results? waht didn't you like?Tried both walls or are you relagated to only using one? Which?My vote is for monitors, or mid sized speake... |
