| Phono Stage Gain - how does it impact sound? Your original post described the bass as on the lighter side and lacking in impact. You can call it anything you like, but it’s still comes down to bottom-end issues. The TZ is one model up from the KC. FYI, Steve Gutenberg reviewed the much more ... | |
| Phono Stage Gain - how does it impact sound? I had a TZ Vibe for audition and also found it very quiet, but lean and somewhat steely sounding. Admittedly, I only had it for 10 days or so, but I was just uncomfortable with the sound. Exchanged it for a Heed phono stage and was very pleased. N... | |
| Avantegarde Duo repair. Isn’t Bob @ Rhapsody in NY a dealer? I know he was and should have some info even if he dropped the line. | |
| Just got a new Bluesound Node. Very disappointed! Maybe your previous stuff was rolled off and the Node is just showing you what is really there? But that’s academic. If you don’t like it, give it back. Simple. | |
| Do Recording Studios Use Silver Cables Somehow, I don’t think top recording artists give 2 sh#%s what the cables are made of. Just FYI, some of the world’s most expensive cables use copper only. MIT, Transparent, Tara and Jorma come to mind. | |
| Desperately seeking some advice/tips for my S.M.S.L. SU-9 DAC If you bought new, your dealer will be more than happy to help you. Customer service is part of the dealer’s margin. If you bought direct, the company should have an in-house customer service rep. Good luck. | |
| Can anyone recommend someone who recap crossovers Let the factory do it if you want to keep the potential resale value. | |
| Kronos Sparta or TechDas Air Force III? I would buy the one I could listen to and examine before buying. | |
| Retipping Denon DL S1 @alexv Contact Steve at VAS audio. Excellent work. Ask him what he recommends. He knows a lot about what works with what. https://vasnyinc.com/repair-service/ | |
| Acoustic Guitar on Vinyl Michael Newman on Sheffield if you can find it. Some say the best acoustic guitar sound ever recorded. Elliot Fisk plays Scarlotti on Mark Levinson Recordings. Not really acoustic, but Michael Hedges, Ariel Boundaries on Wyndam Hill, Gittarr Kv... | |
| Thoughts on the Linn LP12 turntable Frankly, I don’t think the OP gives 2 f**ks about the Linn. Just my opinion, I could be wrong. | |
| DAC diminishing returns I wouldn’t say that upgrading is "being duped", as if all dacs sound the same and anyone who upgrades is just falling for a myth. But, as stated above, you personally may not hear any improvement in upgrading your dac, or the improvements you migh... | |
| DSD and aliasing? I guess my post wasn’t clearly stated. It was not meant to be about whether SACD players can do good redbook. They obviously can, although some designers, Audio Note among them, believe that multi-function transports cannot extract as much from r... | |
| New Audio Mirror Troubadour Dac 1V I’m eyeing that myself. With the transformer and the tube, it looks like it might be a nice poor-man’s Audio Note. Everything AM builds sounds very good. I was going to call them about the regular Tubeador when the price jumped $500. | |
| I am out of the loop for knowledge on high end auto music systems Assuming you are not going to do the work yourself, I would start by finding a good shop that has a lot of experience with your specific vehicle and can work on it without destroying it. Then see what they recommend for your car. |
