| Why do some cd's have no bass I have noticed that artists who use an acoustic bass rather than an electric often have bass that is less prominent in the CD. This does not have to be the case. Artists like Alison Krauss and Ramsey Lewis have made the choice to use the acoustic ... | |
| Replace Kimber 4vs with...? Kimber 4TC remains an excellent choice especially in a double run arrangement. I'm curious how long the cables are?? Some cables do better than others if longer distances are the issue. | |
| Audio Research and Martin Logan Montis I remember going to a demo that was showcasing top end Martin Logans with Bryston (solid state) vs the same Martin Logans with Jadis (tube) equipment. The Bryston gear was good no doubt, but the Jadis was magical. | |
| Building a new room We recently finished a Home Theater room of very similar dimensions. At each corner we brought the wall in at a 45 degree angle a couple of feet to avoid the traditional standing waves problems associated with most rectangular rooms. Placing the s... | |
| Another hearing loss thread I am also 62 and have spent a lifetime exercising and enjoying sports of all types. One of the real blessings in my life right now is to enjoy the home that we completed just outside of Yellowstone Park. I designed in seven different AV systems ea... | |
| Killer on a Budget... I have always tried to make decisions based on 'bang-for-the-buck. Beyond a point you have to double the budget for each relatively small increase in performance. It's kind of like having to double the power output for each 3 DB of volume increase... | |
| Musical Fidelity KW500 and Rowland Continuum S2 I have not had the specific pieces in question in my systems, but I had and have products from these two manufacturers in present and previous systems. I have a lot of respect for Musical Fidelity as a company , it quite frankly is not in the same... | |
| How Do You Feel about The Cable Game? Geoffkaik...Dunlavy most certainly was not deaf and designed some of the best speakers ever offered to the public. I talked to him on multiple occasions and he felt very strongly that past a certain threshold, high-end cable manufactures were just... | |
| Digital Amplifier Questions Kijanki...what a great response. Hearing and tech analysis agreeing on something. What a concept! | |
| How Do You Feel about The Cable Game? When John Dunlavy was alive, he had some very strong opinions about the 'cable game'. He would do extensive blindfold tests with a variety of high end cables to see if differences could be consistently detected and then compared that to much lower... | |
| Digital Amplifier Questions My experience has taught me that there is a vast difference in the approach that some manufacturers have taken with Class D technology versus others. An example would be Rotel vs Jeff Roland. Albeit, that we are talking about two companies targeti... | |
| Tube life in preamp. Please help The one thing that no one has mentioned is the cost of keeping tube gear on all the time. I had an ARC SP9 at one time and it wasn't drawing that much power, but it together with a pair of ARC M100 monos and we're talking $20 to $30 a month in pow... | |
| Anyone using ARC Ref 5SE Preamp with McIntosh 275 The ARC Ref5SE and a McIntosh 275 is NOT, 'a-match-made-in- heaven'. Even if the impedance can be resolved, you are talking about performance characteristics on the opposite ends of the scale. | |
| Best amp for $550 to mate with the following... I'm using a 7 channel Emotiva amp in one of my systems. It started out sounding OK... but now that it has 100 hours or so on it I'm starting to be impressed. A lot of performance for the money! | |
| CD vs internet and DAC That's a good question and you'll probably get a variety of responses. My personal experience is that a CD 'fully tweaked' still sounds the best. 'Tweaking' is an art/science which can include a cleaning agent such as Optrix or Shinola, demagnetiz... |
