| To DAC or not to DAC? EVS modified SACD players:I quote:"What?! no millenium DAC? What gives?We have found that a player with super mods will beat most any DAC"They modify Sony C333ES and C555ES, I think. But no more EVS Millenium DACs if I got the story straight. | |
| Why low sensitivity speakers? Karls, I learned a lot from your post. Could you explain something I have heard.Listening to PSB Image 4T with plastic drivers, I was immediately disappointed to hear how much cleaner the sound was than B&W kevlar. But B&W's sales pitch is... | |
| Non fatigueing speaker under 1500 Dr_joe, interesting point. I read a pro-audio magazine review on B&W 602's. They thought they were great as a monitor being flat, accurate and all that. However, they had two complaints:1) Lack of bass control - passive speakers can't compete ... | |
| Enacoms for bright speakers? Thanks, Davehrab. I don't have the Thiels but for my taste, always liked them except for the brightness. Just no good with Naim, Krell, or even, most recently with McIntosh/Arcam system. So between so many auditions, I don't think it's RFI etc.May... | |
| FM Antenna placement, wiring This is how I did it:Radio Shack has 25 foot, 50 foot and maybe even longer quad shield RG-6.My girlfriend helped me out last weekend. I got the PR-6000 (?) directional antennae and first compared to the Fanfare vertical whip antennae. Both on the... | |
| What are 6 feet going to do for me? Increase dB from about 75 to 90 and still played for 10 seconds. Hope I'm not hurting the amp doing this so I'm not doing this anymore. | |
| Power Conditioner deleterious to digital sources? Audio Magic has a digital Stealth for CDP - $700. | |
| Which cone's or platforms have helped? Bob bundus. What are the design differences between Nordost and Orchard Bay titanium? Just wondering what could cause the differences in sound. I found Titanium grade 5 is a harder version than grade 2 and may transmit vibration better.Just a raw ... | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? Poloman, I agree 100%. I've still been thinking about this thread as I have N804.Mikez is probably hearing mid-fid electronics which B&W faithfully reproduce. | |
| Anyone hear Thiel CS1.6? Totem beaks - don't know how good they really are but Spendor dealer put them on the 1/2's. Obviously he was aware of the cabinet design - I think it's called "lossy".They sure didn't solve the problems of the Spendors as I heard colorations on vo... | |
| What are 6 feet going to do for me? AudioEng then why can my M-F amp play music for 10 seconds with no degradation in sound after I turn it OFF? | |
| Anybody ever hear an H-CAT amp or preamp???? Bummer Dolphin. Just when you (think) you're immune to the hyperbole, the reviewers kick it up a notch and they suck you back in.I'm not just saying you, happens to me too. | |
| Finger Print Removal on Aluminum Faceplates I've used Caig Pro-Gold to clean some tough fingerprints off some RCA's. May be too harsh for your needs. | |
| Anyone hear Thiel CS1.6? $2,000 is a lot for a 2-way but look at Pro-Ac Response 2.5's which are $4000 or something. Merlin VSM-M are $8,000 for a 2-way.Joseph 25's have more bass than Thiel 1.6? Not in the Arcam system I heard.Zaiksman has a good point. Levison Rosebud's... | |
