| Audio Physic Virgo III I demoed at two dealers and had very different results. Both had Musical Fidelity amps. First dealer used Musical Fidelity A3 CDP in a sonically treated room. III's sounded very good. Clear, dynamic sound. Pretty good kick on drums. Did not do the... | |
| Amp play a low volumes? Speakers with less distortion will sound quiter even if they are actually playing at higher volume levels. ATC active speakers for example. Without the "noise" of distortion things sound quieter. | |
| High Sensitvity = good transient response ? Learn something new everyday. And I thought that the covering on Brentworth's opening was the driver. I have only heard 2 SET as dealers don't carry this stuff. Sam Tellig talked with Mike Sanders re Quicksilver Mini Monos / March 2001. Page 36 I ... | |
| High Sensitvity = good transient response ? Twl, on SET sound. I've been told they have high amounts of distortion so maybe what I've been told affects my hearing perceptions. Take "Spanish Harlem". The first time I heard on Triangle Celius and Unison SET Rebecca Pidgeon's voice sounded vag... | |
| High Sensitvity = good transient response ? Hi twl. I heard the $7,500 Type Three-A:http://www.cadencebuilding.com/cadence/bslpix.htmlThe owner had the best Waytec SET amps and they are supposedly made especially for the Brentworths. I think they were over $8,000.The room was very big - 18 ... | |
| Best receiver for sonus f. Grand Piano under 3000 Magnum Dynalab has a $3,000 receiver Stereophile "A" rated. That's all I know about it. | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? For cleaning CD's go to an eyeglass store and ask for their cleaning cloth used on plastic lenses. Runs from $1.00 to $6.00. It is a microfiber material and can be washed and used over and over.There may be another version which has a wax or clean... | |
| High Sensitvity = good transient response ? Twl, about the 40 Hz rating. I've heard Brentworth single driver with Waytec SET (20 Hz rated) and the bass was disappointing.Am I missing something because, take B&W Nautilus 804's for example,are rated at about 40 Hz but they seem to have mo... | |
| BMG CD's ARE worse Thanks for the information. I will be comparing BMG CD's to the same "non BMG" CD's in the future for a fairer comparison. If I find quality differences again, I'll repost. | |
| BMG CD's ARE worse The Rush CD was just called "2112" which you cn buy in any store. The BMG version "Chronicles" only has the first and second part of "2112". So the discs aren't identical and that would better define if it's really BMG's fault or not.I did not thi... | |
| Big Difference With New Source? What loudspeakers are you guys using? I have found big improvements with CDP (in dealer showrooms) on Thiel 1.5 (Linn Genki to Meridian 508.24) and Revel M20 (Marantz 5 disc changer to Musical Fidelity 24/192 DAC) speakers. But I notice extremely ... | |
| BMG CD's ARE worse The BMG version was 2112 in Rush's "Chronicles" (a 2 CD set) and apparently was compiled in 1990. No mention of remastering so I thought they were using the original master tapes.The other version is the actual "2112" CD. It was not manufactured f... | |
| Is there an integrated amp that can beat my... The YBA integre, Levinson 383, Chord may also have integrated | |
| Life of CDR's? Thanks for the encouraging words.Chuck | |
| Creek- Arcam- Rega.... best tuner of the three?? Put the Marantz ST-6000 on your list. Only $290. |
