| Need help - system performance Steve you have this figured out alright - that Monster Cable is really hurting you badly. For a run that long you'd be better off with a networked type speaker cable - try some MIT (or Transparent if you really want to spend some $). Get some MIT ... | |
| Break in period for power conditioners ? Although I have not personally observed the breakin phenomena occuring with AC conditioners, I've been told by both a manufacturer & an "authority" (one of their dealers) that breakin does in fact occur with their devices. I've certainly exper... | |
| Power cables best home? When I want to hear the sonic signature of a specific AC cable, I change all my AC cords back to stock & then install the "test" cable on my preamp. Bob Cohen at Fatwyre.com (Cable Co) advised my to try that approach long ago & it seems to... | |
| MIT 750 Magnum - opinions please It's no surprise to me that you keep returning to MIT. After several very satisfied years running MH750+, I upgraded to solid state MH750 Magnum BiWire about 7 months ago. The newer MH750 was an improvement in every way; Vader's "same sonic signat... | |
| "Pace", it's importance for enjoyment? Sean I agree completely with you. Program that's thin-sounding, lacking in bass, it just doesn't swing. Add in some bass (with those 'dreaded' tone controls if available) and your toes are tapping again. Your harmonic structure theory certainly se... | |
| anyone listen to the new Ayre V5 or V6 I noticed that they reduced idle power consumption by over 1/2 compared to the V3, & by over 1/3 compared to the V1. Does it still have the 'air' & staging of the V3? | |
| New category for trades? Trading might be workable between two 'certified' members (if that idea ever gets off the ground). Otherwise, unless both parties have accumulated a reasonable quantity of verifiable feedback, I'd be very hesitant to try something like that in lig... | |
| Upper Midrange Glare problem The setup basically looks good; how about addressing some room treatment? | |
| Preamp advice, all comments welcome Evan you might just need to apply some tweaks into your existing rig in order to enhance what you already have, & realize its full potential. Play around with cabling; interconnects & AC cords too. Browse the forums for tips on vibration c... | |
| Recommendation: Wireless Headphone? I tried the Koss infrared wireless headphones some time ago. They were very noisy, like a bad gassy tube. Unless some radical improvements have been made, you'd be better off with an AM radio. | |
| Why not PS Audio's Lab cables? I don't run an outboard DAC, but if I did then that's the place for an upgrade cord IMO. YMMV so please don't hesitate to experiment a bit. | |
| Why not PS Audio's Lab cables? Yo: I'm running the JPS Digital AC on my EAD Ultradisc 2000 CD player. I've used a few other cords on it such as Custom Power Top Gun Special (Special = specially made for me because I wanted one without the differential mode filtering) but for lo... | |
| Anyone has Marsh amp ? Ry there's a Marsh dealer here in the states that you could contact; they do deal internationally & you might even be able to arrange for an audition. Chicago area: HOLM Audio in Woodridge Illinois 630-663-1298. From my experience as a custome... | |
| Why not PS Audio's Lab cables? A nice midpriced AC cable for digital is the JPS Digital AC, in my experience. | |
| Suggestions on CDP My last CD upgrade a few years back was very brief audition-wise so experience is limited, but I did audition the Aplha 9 with only mediocre results. Perhaps it was just a setup issue, but when I swapped the EAD Ultradisc 2000 against the Arcam, t... |
