| Does the Transport make a significant difference Ricred1, the PWT has "very high" sound quality. As others here have pointed out, transports play a major role regarding the overall sound you get from CDs. | |
| Does the Transport make a significant difference Ricred1,I believe you'll be happy once you hear the PWT in your system. | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Steve,of course, I think each of your candidates are very good amplifiers. Based on your list I felt the Art Audio have the highest level of part and built quality(and a bargain at 2800). To get similar quality output transformers in the AN Kit re... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Rebbi,You've done your homework based on the list of amplifier contenders.There isn't a bad choice among them and very likely anyone of them would make you happy long term. You're at a point where ther's little left to add, listening is the next s... | |
| Wilson Alexia 20x15 Room Madfloyd,Posts such as yours are what make audiogon a valued resource,perspective from actual owners of various products. It doesn't mean that the OP will have the same or similar outcome, but it's certainly worthwhile information.Charles, | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Hi Jordan,Good to know you're around and doing well as I hadn't seen any posts from you in some time. Congratulations on building your new home(many decisions but a fun time was my experience). Did you design a dedicated listening room for your ex... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Hi Rebbi, Just as a reminder given the size of this thread. On 8/26/2014 Brownsfan gave you a very detailed listening impression of "four" different amplifiers with your DeCapo speakers. He also provided a follow up up post that same day. It's enc... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Rebbi,This thread has generated nearly 300 posts and most have been quite helpful. One correction, Brownsfan did hear your speaker with the Dynamo and was very pleased. Do you have an absolute spending ceiling? | |
| Does the Transport make a significant difference Agree with Rja, active preamp vs direct DAC just try both methods in your system and compare. That topic has been discussed it seems a thousand times on audiogon. The answers never change. | |
| Tube Curious - Preamp Suggestions Speedevil,Tough to answer as none of us know how you hear music and sound. But in the spirit of your question and objective I'd give Shindo serious consideration more so than ARC. You'll need to pay attention to the tube preamp's output impedance ... | |
| Does the Transport make a significant difference Some have made the case that transports are equal or perhaps more important for overall sound quality Than the DAC..I can tell you that the PS Audio PWT is an excellent transport to consider(exceptional value used). Jfrech is right, all the indivi... | |
| Wilson Alexia 20x15 Room I've heard the Magico S5 in about 5 different systems. They sounded better driven by the Absolare Passion 845 PSET than any other amplifier.2nd best IMO was their match with a Constellation amplifier. It was just okay with the VAC amplifiers. It's... | |
| Wilson Alexia 20x15 Room Yes,Excessive room absorption takes the life and natural vibrancy of music away. The resulting sound is dead and uninvolving.I'd give JohnnyR's suggestion a shot. | |
| Wilson Alexia 20x15 Room Well it seems according to JohnnyR big sound is possible with his suggested speaker cables. | |
| Wilson Alexia 20x15 Room Audioconnection,That's an interesting observation and implies you're familiar with this system.If better quality cables resolve this problem it's certainly cheaper than replacing the speakers. Or perhaps the OP just simply wants new speakers. |
