| What must I correct to get the perfect sound? Hey boy come over to the white ran for some rockin hard bass with smooth highs...but seriously I am bass head also and those recordings are harsh. I've heard you're speakers and they are hard on top but they have insane bass to image. They have to... | |
| Attenuator recommendations Tonyptony: Thanks for asking for clarification, I've had too much espresso today. I had one of Guy's Excellent Placette Active Preamps but it was impedance mismatched with my high sensitivity Lamm M1.1 amps. He suggested either adding his dual con... | |
| Attenuator recommendations Guy at Placette can make you some plug in attenuators with a single Vishay so no loss of clarity/imaging will occur. You just need to determine how much you want the cut. 10dB? | |
| Tube Integrated for Zu Cable Druids? ARC VSI55 integrated which uses a passive preamp is a honey of a component! and reliable. You might not need the 55 watts a channel but the staging, imaging, and bass control are amazing for any amp much less something this inexpensive that INCLUD... | |
| Accuphase CD players versus Naim CD players Accuphase house sound is syrupy! Very romantic but not accurate.Naim house sound is mid bass dyanmic! (big hump in the middle especially the 5i and the 5x) You need to go to the CDX2 to begin your quest.I would vote Theta Compli (neutral rocker) o... | |
| A tweak that will tame the digital-ness Unclejeff: and so far the modified SB's $1500+400 still is sounding better than the modified $2700 Transporters so it's still cheaper...until they figure out what to do with transporters to make them sound better. Isolating powersupplies away from... | |
| A tweak that will tame the digital-ness UncleJeff: go check out the Bolder form on audiocircle for discussions about modifications for SB's.Bolder is trying a different approach to modifications to the Transporter but hasn't come out with a unit he likes. There are two other mod'ers wit... | |
| A tweak that will tame the digital-ness Googlee3: I always loose that link! Thanks for posting it!Unclejeff: The other method is rip to FLAC and then use a Squeezebox (modified of course) to reply them.. no more CD playback problems and one less step of burning cd's. | |
| A tweak that will tame the digital-ness I'll definitely check out those brand CDR's. I've also heard that the black CDR's also have a similar effect.Take is a step further and get a plextor external and isolate it, and plug that into a laptop running on batteries and you will get the ul... | |
| Which multi channel amp Parasound or Theta? The Theta Dreadnaught is an awesomely musical multichannel and will produce the naunces of 2 channel better than the Parasound (make sure to break the parasound in like 800hrs before it starts to ease up, the JC-1's require 1400hrs).After the brea... | |
| Meridian 500 or Squeezebox 3 I'm not knocking the Meridian 500 transport, but another thing to keep in mind is that I don't believe you can get replacement parts for that transport so it could be a paperweight. There is good synergy between Meridian components but if you look... | |
| Meridian 500 or Squeezebox 3 Ethifi: I can't compare it to my Theta Compli as I run it as a transport only since I don't have a typical preamp. Plus my SB3 is running through a crappy digital cable until I can come up with the money for another Transparent Digital. I have ~2k... | |
| Sonos turns your house into an ipod John_ops: Bravo! Bravo! My squeezebox did the same thing for me, wish they had the nice Sonos interface without using my tablet pc. | |
| Meridian 500 or Squeezebox 3 +1 on the Bolder modifications.. I run full digital mod's plus the Bolder Ultimate Powersupply. | |
| Oppo DVD with Bel Canto DAC2 make sense? only buy the Oppo if you are using DVI/HDMI to a digital display.. Component sucks...Audio is ok.... I have been much more impressed by my Toshiba HD-A1 HD-DVD player over HDMI to my projector then the Oppo/Momitsu players. |
