| 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... | |
| Advice on an upgrade You may like InnerSound's speakers better than Martin Logan. | |
| Anyone hear Thiel CS1.6? Apparently, JA's review was based more on measurements than his hearing. He spoke a lot about frequency anomolies which can be measured. I still find it odd how he loved the Revel M20's - maybe due to good measured performance. But if he listened ... | |
| The best CD Player for the money Marantz DR-4050 for $229 at: www.accessories4less.comBurns CD's too. | |
| Which cone's or platforms have helped? No problem. Is brass the best cone material? The "theory" is that brass is used in a bell because it rings and allows vibrations to flow through.Not sure about the titanium. I heard the Russians made an entire submarine out of titanium because it ... | |
| What could be instead of side walls? Good points made here. Of less importance, but I would also add that vibrapods are not a stable mounting base for speakers and will allow them to wobble and vibrate more.My speakers seemed to get better once a fixed a short spike and the speaker s... | |
| B&W, Aerial 7B -- my impressions, something off? I have found very few speakers can match B&W wide dispersion and pinpoint imaging. Only narrow baffle speaker like Audio Physic Virgo 3 were in the same ballpark. Maybe the distance between speakers. Try 8 feet or more apart and sit 8-9 feet a... | |
| Amplifier class A/B bias question Elvick, 10% would be 15 watts class A. Probably not - check out the heat sinking on a 30 watt class A Pass amp! |
