| Morrow SP7 Upgrade. Thanks, all. 213runnin: The signal chain in question is Superberry DAC (a highly modded Beresford DAC) > MA3 (w/ Eichmann Copper) > McIntosh C220 pre > custom Litz RCAs (also w/ Eichmann coppers) > Vandersteen M5-HP crossovers > O... | |
| Not Enough Options for Auditioning Speakers As for integrating subwoofers, I suggest you read up on the Vandersteen 2Wq subwoofer at the Vandersteen site. IMHO, this is the easiest sub to integrate with any mains that extend down to 40Hz. As for the demo issue, it's a tough one. For me, ... | |
| Morrow SP7 Upgrade. 213runnin - Thanks for the input. I wasn't aware that AQ made solid core wire. And yet, some folks swear by stranded wires. For a guy who just wants to enjoy listening to his tunes, this can be a little overwhelming. I will give the MA3s more ... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! atmasphere - Very interesting post. I can see how the phono pre circuitry could cause such an issue. I suppose a clear sign that this is happening is if the same passage exhibits clicks and pops at different times when played several times. I don’... | |
| Morrow SP7 Upgrade. initforthemusic: Thanks for the update. I ordered another MA3 IC to connect my tape outputs to my parametric EQ (from there the signal goes to my CD recorder). So far, I have mixed feelings about the MA3 with Eichmann plugs I installed between ... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! raymonda - Ok, now I see where our applications differ. Most of my LPs are record show and garage sale finds, usually a buck to 3 bucks apiece. So, as you can imagine, they are often in pretty bad shape. With decent new or mint LPs, your method... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! Thanks, raymonda. So, if I understand it correctly, in order to declick a recording, you have to locate the click on a graphic visual representation of the audio file, and manually remove the click. Is that correct? If so, wouldn't the process ... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! A new update from Sweetvinyl: Some of the SC-1 beta units have shipped. About 60 of the SC-2 units are expected to ship in September. This means I will probably receive mine within the month (I am the 12th contributor for the SC-2 to the Indiegogo... | |
| Has anyone ever heard these speakers by Volti Audio? I heard them at a show last year. Marvelous speakers, with no horn colorations that I could hear. | |
| KEF Blade 2 as replacement for Reference 107/2 I have heard the Blades (not the Blade 2s), several times. I had never liked them much. I found the sound pinched, congested and centered in the upper midrange. Then I heard them driven by Odyssey Stratos Mono Extremes. It was like another spe... | |
| Legacy Audio Focus SE compared to the Legacy Aeris Speakers Not an owner, but the two times I heard the Aeris, I was reduced to a drooling, gelatinous mess. Absolutely gorgeous sound in every respect I could think of, and these were audio show demos in a hotel room. No experience with the Focus, but if I... | |
| What speakers to go with my new Marantz 2265? +1 on the Advent New Large - I am still running mine (utility cabs), originally my High School graduation present in 1978, after a refresh by Millersound. Not my main system, but always pleasant. | |
| Will a sub woofer mess up my tone and phase aligned speakers bewoods1962: Interesting observations. I haven't listened to my rig without the 2Wqs since, well, since I changed speakers in 2009. I don't notice the smearing you refer to with the M5-HP crossovers, but my system is not super-resolving. I am ... | |
| Help... my turntable is alive! Just a thought - your belt could be sticking. Whenever I change belts on my Thorens 'table, I "bathe" it in baby powder, then gently wipe the excess powder off with a clean paper towal. This tends to minimize belt sticking. It's a cheap potenti... | |
| Will a sub woofer mess up my tone and phase aligned speakers I used to have 1Cs, and I added a pair of 2Wq subs. They did not mess up the phase or tone, but the in-line filter was less than fully transparent. I later upgraded to the battery biased Vandersteen crossovers, and the transparency was restored. T... |
