| Any new tweaks out there? 06-19-12: Csontos...why not just eliminate the IEC and go directly to the board and thus eliminate all the other issues associated with this imo, stupid idea in the first place? The video itself shows this.Sounds interesting. Can you post a link t... | |

| Any new tweaks out there? 06-19-12: MechansI have used a combination of a memory foam pillow with a board on top to allow for ventilation and leveling.That is clever, Mechans. 06-17-12: CsontosFor instance, I'm sure many of us have noticed the the skimpy 12-14awg leads on ... | |
| XLR cables for high-end multichannel system I'm familiar with your speakers and your amp. I've owned multiple interconnects from Audioquest and Kimber, but not Acoustic Zen.You might consider something like Morrow. I've owned several interconnects in the ~$2K range from big manufacturers, a... | |
| why do we argue? Lacee - I see that you're asking the question sincerely, but I don't think the question has an answer. Or it doesn't have a SINGLE answer. Motives for arguments are as diverse as the circumstances that create them and the people who participate in... | |
| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? I agree with you, Josh. Digital EQ has improved so dramatically in the past ten years that, at this point, the best ones add virtually no perceptible colorations. I've used both hardware and software implementations of digital EQ and had excellent... | |
| Which sub to buy: JL Audio f113 or Velodyne DD18+? Hi Shak - I've heard both. Personally I went with the F113. But I could have easily been happy with the DD18. There's no bad decision here.Since the performance of a sub is very room dependent, it's a bit difficult for me to say exactly how the tw... | |
| Integrated Amp for Focal 1027be speakers Bryon- You stated you owned the XA30.5 along with 1027be. What was your impression of both together and did you try another amp with the Focals?IME, the Electra series (including the 1007be, the 1027be, and the 1037be) is very revealing of distort... | |
| Integrated Amp for Focal 1027be speakers I'm wondering if the Pass has sufficient power at 30w.My understanding is that the amplifier section of the INT-30A is essentially identical to the Pass XA30.5 amp. Although the XA30.5 is officially rated at 30 watts Class A, it is actually a Clas... | |
| Fuses that matter. Mapman - You don't have to explain how you spend your time to anybody. Except maybe your wife. It's yours to spend.Happy listening and happy Audiogon'ing.Bryon | |
| Thoughts from THE Show, is $29k the new $10k? 06-13-12: NonoiseI didn't know the Evolution Acoustic MMMicro Ones were only $2500. I had a quick listen and was really impressed but thought that they were one of the expensive ones due to the quality of the cabinetry.Hi Nonoise - I've heard the ... | |
| Devore Nines and Daedalus Athena comparison? Drubin - I agree that the Athenas sounded slightly muted on top. That was more perceptible with certain recordings than others. Still, I found them very nice to listen to.So much of this is affected by the ancillary equipment and the room, as of c... | |
| Thoughts from THE Show, is $29k the new $10k? I attended The Show. I was only there for a day, so I missed a great many things, but here are some of the things I liked: Evolution Acoustics, Rockport, Daedalus, Marten. I certainly don't think you need to spend $29K on speakers to get great sou... | |
| Integrated Amp for Focal 1027be speakers If you are set on an integrated, you might consider a Pass Labs INT-30A. Focal and Pass are a nice combination, IME.Bryon | |
| why do we argue? 06-12-12: Photon46As a long time reader and poster to this forum, I have the impression that a large proportion of the most contentious arguments evolve out of two beliefs: #1. Why things sound the way they do can be explained through current know... |
