| How Do You Feel about The Cable Game? Sorry... I'm a scientist, so I always get a kick out of suggestions like just ignoring the results of tests you don't agree with (i.e., negative results). This is a great way to not have to change your mind (and "win"). And of course people do tha... | |
| Room Size for Coincident Total Eclipse II Sorry for the delay. I've got a 14.6' X 22.7' X 8' room, but have the stereo confined on one half... giving me about 13' of width. I'm sitting 9.2' from the speakers, with 2.2' behind them to the front wall and a 1.3' buffer behind my listening po... | |
| How Do You Feel about The Cable Game? "The best advice I can give is to throw out the tests that obtain negative results"Sounds like a winning formula. | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC "Does the DirectStream sound better with that cable?"This seems like a critical comparison. | |
| Room Size for Coincident Total Eclipse II I'm assuming you'll be putting the speakers on the short wall so that you've got the full 13' to play with? You might also try to solicit some opinions about the ability of the drivers to integrate properly at that distance. I have Coincident SEII... | |
| Thiel with "Warmest" Midrange? 2.7 vs 3.7 vs Older I never tried it, but in line with someone's comments above, I have heard people say that AR is a great match for Thiel, and VAC at some point was voicing their components with Thiels. I, of course, had great success using a lower-powered SS with ... | |
| Thiel with "Warmest" Midrange? 2.7 vs 3.7 vs Older I agree with Charles, get the 3.7s. That said, if you want to pick up a pair of 2.4s to hold you over, I've got a set in maple that I need to put up for sale. | |
| Thiel with "Warmest" Midrange? 2.7 vs 3.7 vs Older Charles, posting in your system thread to keep it on topic here... | |
| Thiel with "Warmest" Midrange? 2.7 vs 3.7 vs Older I am in the midst of switching over from a Pass Labs INT-30A/ Thiel 2.4 system to a Coincident Super Eclipse III/Coincident Frankenstein 300b SET system...The Pass/Thiel combo is a bit warmer, at least with my source, the PS Audio DSD (and no pre-... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Wisnon. Have you compared any different levels of the Lampis? Unfortunately I could only afford a level 4 (used), but have been curious how that compares to other options (like the PWD and DSD). Unfortunately, I need need four remote switchable di... | |
| Pass amps: newer xa30.8 or older xa60.5 ? Kent's advice has always been right on the money in my experience. I would be curious about his impressions, although your previous conversation suggests he may recommend the higher powered option. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Just commenting to store this in my threads. As someone mentioned earlier, this is a quality group of commenters who do not feel the need to pull out genitals... and a compelling story. | |
| PS Audio GCPH Phono Preamp Also, I should mention that I've had a PS Audio PWD in they system the entire time, so I have nothing against the company in general. | |
| PS Audio GCPH Phono Preamp I had one and did not like it at all... I sold it almost immediately and got a Jasmine LP2. I really enjoyed that and thought it was better in every regard. This was all in a Rega P3/Dynavector, Pass Labs INT-30A, Thiel 2.4 system, fwiw. I eventua... | |
| Ching Cheng Power Cords That said cables IMO should be the last tweak done to a system once you've settled on the best you can afford. ~~~Thanks, that is exactly the point, and the tact that I'm currently pursuing. Go with something sufficient until the equipment is all ... |
