| 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. | |
| Thiel 3.6 vs. Dunlavy SC-IV/A I found Dunlavy to sound flat and extremely boxy (shut in). Maybe also a slight lack of low level detail. I wouldn't consider them dynamic, knock your socks off speakers. I thought they were similar to electrostatics in their style. But I'm not sa... | |
| Compressed recordings? HiFi enemy 1? I think with music that has been compressed a lot, I have to put the volume really low. Even then it sounds too loud. And just bumping up the volume a hair has a big effect on volume.Sometimes I hear a song and don't really like the tune but it so... | |
| Smallest Bookshelf Speaker Worth Listening To New B&W DM600 series 3. About $300-$350. They can be mounted to a wall.http://www.bwspeakers.com | |
| Upsampling put to "THE TEST": R U ready 2 take it? Zaikesman " a degree of difference that is beyond tweaking - we're talking about fundamental character here. "That is a really interesting concept. Would make a good thread topic: "What actually can be expected from tweaks?"Would power cords, inte... |
