| Please Buy These Speakers! So the ending of this story is - they didn't sell on A'gon, but they sold on Ebay in 1 day. They were purchased by an older Asian gentleman who already owned a pair and wanted another for his cousin. He opened them up in my house and the insides... | |
| What piece(s) of equipment would you most like to try? I would like the Metronome Kalista transport and the matching DAC. I think I would be satisfied with that. | |
| What has your audiophile experience taught you about yourself? A drug addict is always going to lie, so don't believe anything anyone here tells you. | |
| Audiophiles... Why Men? Any woman here? Maybe they would rather listen to music than post on this Forum. | |
| Any thoughts on a solid hickory platform under my tt Just FYI, I ended up with a Corian platform on my wall shelf when I had the Linn. It sounded significantly better to my ears than glass or wood. I left it there when I bought my Basis and never bothered to try anything else with it. But don't o... | |
| Any thoughts on a solid hickory platform under my tt I think there is absolutely no way to predict the end result without trying it. Some tables, especially the Linn, are tremendously affected by what they sit on and others are not. Plus, it's not about damping per-se. It's about what your ears p... | |
| Is there a way to improve the sound? I am not familiar with the NDS, but very experienced with other Naim digital and I will say the power supply makes a huge difference in the sonics. If you are not using the XPS power supply, you should definitely audition it. When I upgraded my ... | |
| Another "Which DAC?" thread. Whether you will hear much of a difference depends on your tastes and how good your ear is. Try a $1500 dac with a return privilege and try it in your system. You'll either hear it or you won't. Just don't judge it until it's on for a couple of... | |
| Symposium Ulta Shelf under floor standing speakers - Any Thoughts ? I tried svelte shelves under my Opera Callas monitors, between the speaker and the stand. It definitely "cleaned up" the sound, but ultimately, I preferred the speakers directly on the stands. IMO, they took some of the warmth out of the sound. ... | |
| Arcam CD-92 - CD PLayer Leave it on all the time. It will sound better and you'll avoid the problem. | |
| Austrailian rock and roll When I was a musician, I worked on the remix of "Live it Up" by Mental as Anything, a pretty hot Aussie band way back when. They used the song in the background of a Crocodile Dundee movie during a party scene. | |
| replacement drive for Rega Apollo I don't think anyone makes their own transports other than Esoteric. Everyone else uses Sony, Phillips or Sanyo. | |
| 1 pair of good interconnects- which 2 components should I use them on? Honestly, if a $30 pair of ICs is "much nicer" than all of your others, you should replace them all. Your components cost several thousand dollars and you should have at least (and I do mean least) something on the level of the BJs to connect eve... | |
| what does a power conditioner really do? Syntax said: It transforms cheap power into expensive power . Actually, it transforms expensive power into more expensive power. | |
| what does a power conditioner really do? It could do many things or very few, but the goal is usually to remove power line noise from the system, thereby improving the low level detail - In theory. In reality, a power regenerator actually takes your wall signal and converts it to a new, ... |
