| Schumann Resonance 'Tweaking the Tweak' Thanks guys for the discussion. Sabai, your use of 10 units in your system is interesting. Did you bring them into the system one at a time and find an incremental improvement with each additional unit?? Also, how much real difference is there bet... | |
| Most underrated Audio Manufacturers Used Dunlavy Speakers still provide the ultimate bang-for-the-buck scenarios for those who have the room for proper placement. An example is the SC-V which can be had used for around 5K and competes favorably with new speakers costing 10x the amou... | |
| Is there a minimum length for power cords? I have experimented with ultra high end cables of lengths between 10" and 10' and have found virtually identical performance. I think you have to ask yourself that if length is so important, why are circuit boards built the way they are and how ca... | |
| It's All About Increments I have come to the conclusion that if you have first rate equipment such as has been highly rated by credible reviewers/magazines; improvements are far more a product of tweaking the system than forever changing out components. If you are really l... | |
| Player With A Killer Blu Ray Picture The Denon Ultra Reference DVD-A1UDCI may be the best Blu Ray player ever made (if you can believe the reviews). I have one matched up with the other two Denon Ultra Reference componets and it is without question an epic piece of equipment. | |
| Cabledyne speaker cables? I tried a full set of the Cabledyne silver cables in a balanced mode in my reference two channel system. My system consists of the Marantz four component Reference Series ($24K), Dunlavy SC-Vs, in a custom rack and dedicated engineered room. The e... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations I have Kimber 4TC in our house system and works well. A big step up which has similar characteristics is the Audio Magic line. I have recently gone to the flagship liquid- fill cable and find it as smooth and transparent as anything I've heard (I'... | |
| Looking for great cable I have used Audio Magic cables through the years and have compared them in my system against highly reviewed cables from other companies. They still remain my reference. | |
| Happy music... I don't listen to it often, but occasionally I'll play some Polka Music and it never fails to energize. Willie Nelson and host of other stars have toyed with Polka over the years and the results have been interesting. If I'm not mistaken, I believ... | |
| Dedicated circuit I agree that dedicated circuits make a difference, but I disagree that quality cables are then unnecessary. My experience is that having a dedicated circuit actually enhances the effectiveness of power cords and conditioners. | |
| Speaker Selection Help Dunlavy SC-IVs are in that price range and would be awesome in your big room! | |
| What should I upgrade first amp or preamp? Most high end equipment has the potential of performing much better than what most audiophiles are getting out of their systems. I have done quite a number of experiments over the years using a range of cables, conditioning, tweaks etc. I have bee... | |
| Mcintosh c-2300, is it worth the money? I have spent a fair amount of time comparing McIntosh and Audio Research equipment through the years. I too like the McIntosh aesthetics, but for critical listening Audio Research is typically the hands-down winner. | |
| Speaker grills on or off? I have almost every model of speaker that John Dunlavy designed and they all sound better with the grills off, no exceptions. | |
| Dunlavy SC IV or Merlin VSM M The Merlin is a fine speaker, but the Dunlavy IVs, if set up properly in a reasonably large room, will perform at a level that is equal to or better than the majority of high-end speakers today. Things to remember about the Dunlavy speakers...They... |
