Velodyne Subwoofer Problem?
I've heard rumors of this happening, but that's all they've been, until now... 
The BEST system you've ever built !!!!
Not very accurate at all, no, and I forget your real name, Isabre? I like to know who I'm talking to, just a matter of a thing called honor, is all........And like I said, I'm more interested in hearing from those that have put many true world cla... 
Montana speakers?
OK, so you feel the Merlins are the very best speakers, that's fine. I told it the way I heard it, and compared the different tweeters in the same environment, same electronics, and those were the differences I heard. I am a fan of Dynaudio, I own... 
Montana speakers?
I've not heard the Montana speakers, but do own the tweeter that they use in their full line, the Scanspeak Reveleator 9900 (the designer told me they use a 4 ohm version). It has a combination of smoothness, speed, and dynamic contrast (both micr... 
Help with AudioQuest Cables
The very LAST thing AQ, and their dealers, want you to do, is buy used cables instead of their new cables. That's likely the main reason for the change in nomenclature. Perhaps they saw that too many people were buying their old cables from consum... 
Will the HDCD format survive
E-mail Pacific Microsonics, Keith Johnson, or Jeff Kalt about their philosophies regarding HDCD, and also what Jeff uses in the new CD55. He'll be happy to set you straight...I'm not the manufacturer, I only defend my player on issues of sound qua... 
The BEST system you've ever built !!!!
To that end, nope, don't think I will, sorry. The original question was "what's the best system you've ever built?"...Not, what's in the current one you have now, anyway. Whether the guy intended it, or not, I interpret it as a question meant for ... 
The BEST system you've ever built !!!!
Mr. Krell, I feel that because my system isn't as costly as those of many on here, that my credibility will be diminished by revealing everything in my current system, or how few systems I have set up. There are many jerks on here that seek to att... 
Harmonic Technology Cables???
If it's a digital cable, I don't need one. If it's line level, send me yours, and I'll be happy to try it. 
Harmonic Technology Cables???
Redkiwi and I have agreed on this for a while. I tried only two HT cables, the Pro Silway 2 RCA interconnect, and the Pro 11 AC cord. The Silway had a HUGE hole in the midrange, so it was not tonally neutral (this was either with several different... 
Will the HDCD format survive
There are 20 times the number of titles in HDCD as in SACD, and they aren't restricted to the Sony/Columbia/subsidiary catalog either. I'd call that dominant...SACD will never catch up to the number of titles mastered with HDCD. SACD will never ca... 
Ever Get Tears of Joy?
Almost, quite a few times. 
Will the HDCD format survive
Why would it go anywhere, when it's dominant? 
Recommend CD Player with Volume Control
Read what I said, I haven't had an 860...never said I hadn't tried an 830. I meant that others had befouled me (heh heh, ok, I had a hand in it too) on digital audio, not you. I hold no hard feelings for you, Ryan, and I don't monitor these 24/7 e... 
Best MFSL pressing
I've not heard that one, but I'm returning the UDCD of Dark Side of the Moon. I think the recording itself must be bright, the high hat cymbols are SOOO very forward and hard, and even the MoFi mastering doen't seem to help it much, over the alumi...
