| Upgrading my system The fact that you're saying the sound is "nice" is a good start. Perhaps you should consider putting some resources into maxing out what you have, such as cables or platforms. Many would argue against this and there are many who would agree, but... | |
| MIT Oracle V4 Speaker Cables Help I would run this by Joe Abrams, who sells a lot of MIT on this site. Yes, he is a dealer and he may tell you that the newer MIT cables he is selling are far better than the older V4, but at least you will have another opinion. Then again, he may... | |
| RCA interconnect recommendation I find it a bit odd that someone who owns Weiss and EAR has no idea about interconnects, because they're pretty sophisticated components. But if you never fooled around with cables, I suggest you buy a couple of pairs of ICs from Blue Jeans for a... | |
| Rega Planar 8 : Linn Linto phono stage vs. Rega Aria phono stage Is the Alpheta broken in yet? It does take some time. But changing a turntable/arm/cart all at once is bound to bring a different sonic presentation and your ears need to readjust to everthing. Personaly, I would give it at least a month before... | |
| Ridiculous assertions that someone is being ripped off or conned If you want to keep a secret, don't tell anybody. Once you go public with anything, you open yourself up to all matter of comment. | |
| Headphone for multi-use What do you mean by using the headphones for entertaining? You mean just listening? And why would they sound different when using them for working? I think you need to be a little more clear about this. Also need a budget and what you intend t... | |
| Esoteric K03XD That’s very nice of him. And I agree shipping is expensive and also very risky. I don’t know - I have something against Esoteric since I had my X-05, which I absolutely hated. Nobody ever says anything bad about Esoteric until the next generation ... | |
| Esoteric K03XD If he is a good friend, he will let you send it back if you don't care for it. Won't he? | |
| Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system A friend of mine, whose ears I trust, bought the LFD NCSE (~$7500) and thinks it is fabulous. And he was sold on tubes before that. I haven't heard it yet myself. No remote, if that matters. BTW, he bought it from Gene Rubin, who is great to de... | |
| Transports: Simaudio, Pro-ject, Jays Personally, if I were buying an expensive transport right now, between the 3, I would buy a Jays with 2 extra transports. The Pro-ject may be great, but they are a new company with a new product and who knows where they’ll be in a year or 2 in the... | |
| Top 5 Reaons to NOT BUY A TURNTABLE. Actually, I would add to the list that if someone is the type of person that would constantly be worried about alignment, VTF, VTA, antiskate and record cleaning, they are much better off with digital. I’ve seen more than one person who cannot enj... | |
| Careless Neglect in Hi-Fi. These go to 11. | |
| CD Player/Transport Quandary Honestly - it could be any of the items you mentioned. Your equipment seems decent enough. What did you use to feed the dac before the Denon? Could be the recording. If I were doing your test, I would probably start with a well-recorded piano ... | |
| What are ways to fix speaker dips in my speaker or audio room "You are worrying about a non existent problem"I see a lot of that going on. | |
| Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system? I think you pose an interesting question and I've always felt that people who listen primarily to rock and metal would be better served by systems more closely related to the better sound reinforcement products. This assumes you have the space an... |
