| Integrated Amp for Focal 1027be speakers Sorry to hear your 1027's are sounding bright and harsh. I had the same speakers, and with my Pass XA30.5, they sounded terrific. Unfortunately, the 1027's can be finicky about other components. Hopefully things will change with break in. Bryon | |
| Pass XA30.5 I have a Pass XA30.5. It is resolving, dynamic, neutral, and dead quiet. I recently bought a Prima Luna Dialogue 7 amp, because I wanted to try tubes and see what the fuss is about. Not sure which I prefer. The Dialogue 7 is less resolving, less d... | |
| Anyone try KT 120 Tubes in Primaluna Dialogue? Hi Mikirob -- I am using the KT120's in both a PL Dialogue 4 and a Dialogue 7. To my ears, in my system, they are fantastic. They are better than the stock tubes in every way. They're resolving, dynamic, and just a little sweet. To warm things up,... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne 03-09-13: Rebbi...I can't say I blame the manufacturer for getting involved. If someone's trashing your business and questioning your ethics, do you just let it go?Hi Rebbi - Since I was advising Jonathan to avoid participating in arguments like t... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Jonathan -- I would urge you to reconsider participating in arguments like these. I certainly understand the impulse to defend your company and your reputation. But I fear that, however much damage you are attempting to prevent, you are causing at... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please Thanks, Al.Camb -- Digital components are noisy, and analog components are sensitive. Putting them together makes for an unhappy marriage. IME, shielding works, but the DIY approach requires lots of experimentation. I find the process of experimen... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please 01-30-13: CambWhat do you think the sonic benefit of all the shielding in your G68 is? Protecting it's internal components from external EMI or protecting your other equipment from EMI generated by the G68?IME, the biggest gains in SQ were made by... | |

| Are all external hard drives the same? Are there any differences other than storabe size?1. Reliability.2. Speed.3. Noise.4. RFI.RE: (1). Hard to find a bulletproof drive. Judging from owner reports, some of the most reliable drives are made by Glyph. I own two of them and I'm very hap... | |

| Why does better power = better sound? Hi Learsfool - I haven't seen F is for Fake, but I know what it's about and it sounds interesting. I will put it on my Netflix list. Thanks! :-)Bryon | |
| Why does better power = better sound? Hi Lacee - I too am a believer in dedicated lines and late night listening. I even use fancy fuses. And I agree that the most informed opinions are ones that include personal experience. Having said that, I readily acknowledge that plenty of folks... | |
| It's All in Your Head 10-21-12: SabaiThe brain reconstructs what appears to be happening "out there" in the room. The musical events are actually happening "in here" -- between our two ears. Music appreciation is actually an inner event that we perceive as an outer eve... | |
| My JL Audio sub is dead. What exactly happened? Hey Chad - I was careful drilling and nothing broke. I threaded bolts through the holes, which gave me enough leverage to pull the back panel free from the gasket.I removed the entire back panel from the sub, which includes the amp and the transfo... | |
| My JL Audio sub is dead. What exactly happened? Hi Mapman - Thanks for your empathy. I agree it's a puzzle. I don't think it was a speaker wire mishap, but I can see why you would speculate that. It's a little strange that the only thing that got damaged was the sub.Now that the JL people have ... |
