| HT Choice Aerial 10T or B&W N803? Just one comment, as I like both B&W and Aerial equally. My B&W 805's don't sound bright AT ALL. If anything, the midrange is a little dull, but highs? crystal clear. B&W uses Classe` in their test environments and they would complemen... | |
| Component video cable? From Monster to Harmonic Technology was so much clearer, with better blacks, less noise, richer color without bloom, etc, etc. I have no reason to look further. | |
| Musical Fidelity A3cr Power Amp ?Break-in Period? My Musical fidelity HT600 has a phenomenally quick dynamic range. When bass kicks in rapidly, as in an orchestra the 600 delivers fantastic bass quickly, so I'm wondering what's up with these lack of bass observations. The A3cr is the "daddy' of t... | |
| Musical Fidelity A3 24 Up/oversampling DAC and did you mean "voila" as well ?Good luck. | |
| Any "musicians" in the bunch? I've made a living through music for 3 decades. Play and teach guitar, write, sing and produce.I've made a living through music for 3 decades. Play and teach guitar, write, sing and produce.Short bio: Soloist with NYC Chorus at six. First decade: ... | |
| What is the range of human hearing? My point exactly JL. I've done some recording on Neve consoles, and they are the shiznay. Rupert Neve sure must know something "extra" about sound reproduction! | |
| What is the range of human hearing? There is no true answer. Theory was that people can't hear beyond 20k, but with people noticing differences in tone with SACD that can go up to 50 or even 100k something is missing in our measurement system. I think there is some sort of body awar... | |
| Sony DVP 9000 As good as it gets at the price point. The break in time IS very long, over 300 hours for mine to really shine. | |
| What is vibration isolation for? Pbb, it does take time and patience to become aware of some changes in sound quality. If you walk into a new room, it takes time to notice the flaws, even if first impressions are great. If you were at my place for a few days, listened to my syste... | |
| What is vibration isolation for? Pbb, still haven't noticed a list of what you have tried in your own system and what effect if any, you noticed. Listening to music is not about "hard data", it is about engaging your spirit. Maybe the manufacturers must be as scientific as they c... | |
| Seems right hand side is louder, need helps I had exactly the same problem. It was my room. Try moving speakers forward if possible, and try some sound proofing at the first reflection (doesn't have to be large). My balance is fine now. Good luck! | |
| What is vibration isolation for? My experience before and after adding an isolation platform under my CD player: originally had very "impressive" and clear sound. After trying an Ariel Osiris isolation platform: low level details became much clearer. Third and fourth background s... | |
| What is vibration isolation for? Best tweak I have ever experienced was of all things... isolating my cd player with an Ariel Osiris stand. I really didn't expect much, but got it at a very good price, so I thought I might as well try it. My system came to life in a way that ever... | |
| What were your SACD impressions at NY show? When more SACD's are made with the format in mind from concept to completion you will hear a significant difference between redbook CD's and SACD. If you have an old recording remastered the differences are there, but are much more subtle. The DCS... | |
| Nautilus owners upgrade to what? LM Frog, you really use 250 watts with your B&W 805's?Jeez, my Musical Fidelity's 120 Watts seems like an ass whup when I crank it up on mine. |
