| Headphone question accurus - that graph is impressive, and reflects a very desireable response curve.Mapman - Kal Rubinson at Stereophile did a multi-part review of Dirac Live - in short, he loves it. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Davidpritchard - Thanks. I am back towards the greed side of the fear-greed continuum. I will do a little more research, but right now, I am leaning towards the SR black fuse, if they offer the value I need. In for a penny, in for a pound! | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? accurus - I know exactly what you mean about the Ohms and not-so-great recordings. I have commented on this aspect of the Ohms myself. And thanks for making me feel fine about not having the space for Maggies.Is it just me, or is the link you me... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... davidpritchard: Since the communication I quoted was private, I redacted the name of the manufacturer, and will stick to doing so. My preamp is out of warranty, so no worries there. The UL/CSA thing kinda freaked me out a bit. However, I am not sa... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... A Dilema:Okay, so I have been slogging my way through this thread with interest. I am not a big tweeker, but the praise for upgraded fuses on this thread and elsewhere is so overwhelming, and it is such an affordable tweek, that I am considering i... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Acurus - I am sure I am not the only one who would love to see response graphs of your Ohms before and after Dirac Live. Pretty please? | |
| How do you prepare for a record show? I take $100 cash out of the bank. When that’s gone, I go home. Sadly, some vendors have started to take plastic using those little swipe adaptors for iPhones. D’OH!!! Also, I take a sturdy shoulder bag that can hold a lot of LPs, a bottle of iced ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I have noticed that as well, accurus. My own thoughts on this are: For these prices, you don't get a Wilson or Magico type cabinet that is completely inert. John Strohbeen knows this. Rather than spend lots of money to minimize cabinet resonan... | |
| Headphone question Thanks, everyone. I can get a pretty good discount from this one retailer because I have family that work there. I would not rule out used cans, provided I can easily and affordably replace the earpads (used earpads gross me out).But based on th... | |
| Headphone question extravaganza - In your experience, do the MDR 7506 'phones make your ears hot & sweaty? | |
| Headphone question Thanks, extravaganza. The retailer is a totally legit authorized Sony dealer. | |
| Headphone question cleeds - Thanks. I tried doing straight, non-EQ'd digitizing, and I was very unhappy with the results. I am not dumping the LPs, so I can always listen to them au naturelle, but I want CDs for the car, and to rip onto my server. I was finding t... | |
| looking at mcintosh pre-amp c2500. Can I do better for the cost of a Mac? All I can say is that I have owned, and loved, my C220 for the past five years. It does everything I want it to, sounds excellent, and has been very reliable.That said, I did replace the supplied tubes with Mullard reissue 12AX7s. The result was... | |
| Headphone question mapman: Thanks, I tried no EQ, and the results were generally too bright, and with enemic bass. That is partly due to many of the typical rock records I am digitizing, as well as the cartridge, and perhaps even the quality of the CD recorder. I... | |
| Headphone question Thanks, mapman. Yes, I apply EQ via the Kenwood unit. Obviously, I am not a purist. Also, the cartriges I have, especially the Ortofon, are on the bright side of neutral, IMO. So my conclusions about the Grado SR-60s is based on comparing the ... |
