| What time do you wear? I also have a DC36, Ball diver, and hamilton khaki but the DC66 is on my wrist 95% of the time. gary | |
| Question about ZU speakers I can definitely recommend the Red Wine Signature 30, and I'm sure the Signature 70 is even better. My speakers aren't the Zu's (I have Bastanis Prometheus MKI), but they're similar in design approach and they sound absolutely amazing driven by th... | |
| Have you tried Red Wine? I have a Clari-T driving my Bastanis Prometheus... it's a perfect match because the Prometheus have powered woofers so the T amp doesn't have to handle the bass (which is a known weakness). I'll probably upgrade to the Sig 30 once funds permit it ... | |
| Connecting I-pod to Integrated Amplifiers If all you've ever done is listened to the headphone output of an iPod you're bound to conclude it sounds lousy (especially if you're listening with the stock earbuds, they're absolutely horrible). The way to go if you want quality is to use apple... | |
| anyone with Bastanis experience???? I've got the Prometheus, but the MKI version. They're killer speakers for the money, no doubt about that, and all reports on the MKII indicate the new tweeter is a massive improvement over the original one. Building them is kind of a pain, and unl... | |
| Ordered Visaton B200 for open baffle. Am I alone? Where are you guys buying these drivers? I've already got Bastanis Prometheus speakers, and I don't see the OB 200's as a step up from them but it sounds like a fun project to do. Maybe combined with a Charlize amp too.Gary | |
| Noise-cancelling headphones recommendation I just picked up some ultimate ears super.fi 3 studio ear canal headphones and I love them. They're $99, and they work about as well as ear plugs on reducing noise. The backround noise is cut down dramatically with them on, and I find myself liste... | |
| Best Speakers at Montreal Show this past weekend? The WLM's were my favorite of the show. Man were those ever some amazing sounding speakers, and I only heard the monitors.The best sound coming from non-uberpriced gear was in the Omega room. The new Hemp speakers sound great, a silly value for $1... | |
| Fostex based speakers: Cain Abby or Omega Super3R ...Un-frickin'-believeable. Especially when we plugged in my Nixon battery dac. Can you say paradigm shift? Apart from this one no other system at the show for under about $100k interested me, and even the couple that I liked still didn't have the... | |
| Popping sound when turning my Cayin TA 30 on/off This sounds like a ground loop problem. Search this board (or others) to find exactly how to fix it, I think the general rule is that you only want to have one 3-pronged plug going into the wall. I had a very similar problem and this turned out to... | |
| Sonic Impact T-Amp giant killer? I got the dac & amp last night. With a/c out of the picture the only noise that's left is what's on the cd. Or the refrigerator upstairs when it's running. Otherwise, and I know it might sound cliche, but music emerges from an almost unnerving... | |
| Sonic Impact T-Amp giant killer? Mine's going to be dropped off by UPS today, along with a Scott Nixon DAC that Vinnie put into one of his enclosures for me. Hopefully I'm in for a night of SLA battery-powered bliss.Gary | |
| vintage record albums Beware of gemm, you'll probably get your hopes up with the absurdly inflated prices of most of the records there.If you want good answers on the value of specific records then this is a good place to go:>record collector's guild forumIf your re... | |
| Minimalist companies: 47 labs, Scott Nixon,Decware The prometheus go down to 100Hz and fall off rapidly below that because of the open baffle. Then the dual powered subs take over and provide flat bass down to 30Hz or so. Not too bad considering both speakers, the subs and the sub amp, and the woo... | |
| Minimalist companies: 47 labs, Scott Nixon,Decware I'm in the middle of putting together an uber-minimalist system right now as a matter of fact.Here's the amp I'm getting:http://www.geocities.com/vinnie822/cta_desc.htmlIt's a heavily-modified and battery-powered Tripath chip.The DAC will be a Sco... |
