| Are there headphones that image in front of you rather than in your head? I am not a headphone lover, but I found that the Grado GS1000s present a very open, airy presentation that resembles listening to real speakers in an acoustic environment. The downside it that, like a normal system, you need a very quiet area to ... | |
| Which cartridge should I upgrade to now? I don't think anything you're talking about will be as good as the Shelter. The Denons are OK, but that's about it. Personally, in the budget range, I think the Goldring Eroica is very good and I know it works well in Rega arms. Good luck. | |
| Just how much do speakers suppose to vibrate? Every speaker cabinet, indeed everything, vibrates at some frequency. Speaker designers create cabinets which can move the vibrations to different areas of the spectrum to contour the sound to their idea of what it should be. Companies like Wils... | |
| 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. |
