| dynuaudio c-1s in a small 10x12 room?/amppower? Chuck, from your description of your room you are probably hearing a lot of music reflected from your walls, front to back then to you. If this works great, phase would be difficult to get right but perhaps with a room small enough such a trick mi... | |
| Has anyone heard Rega's Isis CDP? Audiofreakgeek, I find Elinor's comments interesting as well, thus they are not worthless, they are interesting. Thanks for posting Elinor, I am not familiar with Neodio and will look into it for future reference. | |
| Audience adeptResponse aR6 I am very satisfied with the Audience. It brings more dynamics to the music, more detail and a lower noise floor. I used to use a shunyata hydra 6 with python and tiapan power cords, they seemed to reduce noise, perhaps add some air but overall I ... | |
| VPI Aries versus VPI Classic I think the Classic is a good turntable for the money, but just that, it is getting a great deal of hype but when I have heard it, and I have quiet a bit at my dealer when I listen to used LP's there prior to purchase, it is not the best they have... | |
| Stillpoint component stand with Verity Parsifals I did call Bruce, he is very helpful and a wealth of information. He recommends using the Ultra bases directly onto the carpet. He feels that there is little difference between floor types with the stillpoints as they are very effective in dissipa... | |
| Stillpoint component stand with Verity Parsifals Albert, are you using the Stillpoint Ultra's direct to the carpet? I was considering a set of 4 of the Alum. model for my Parsifals but wonder if that would work direct on the carpet as opposed to carpet piercing spikes. | |
| Uneven balance Due to room accoustics my right speaker is louder in my listening position than the left, I use the balance, would prefer a better room but the balance works. | |
| Why do my HDCDs play lower on my HDCD machine? I have had that happen with my Naim CDX2. I think that some CD's are not compressed and "volume enhanced", my SACDs usually play a bit lower in volume, my few anoying pop cd's play loud, this is often done to make a big initial impact. I am not su... | |
| Vinyl in the News If a credit card is vinyl, what is cash? | |
| Are there new players with HDCD? The Naim CDP's decode HDCD, I used to have a Naim CDX2 and really liked it, I upgraded to an Esoteric UX-3 but could easily remained happy with the Naim, and I did like the HDCD in most cases. | |
| CD isolation platfroms Stillpoints have been very helpful in my electronics isolation, I keep trying to remove them so I can sell them to pay for all my upgrades but things don't sound the same without them. Even my Audience Adept Ar6 benefits which I did not expect. An... | |
| Need a transport recommendation I just purchased a Esoteric UX-3 from a dealer, it was their demo. I contacted Esoteric and they said full warranty, no worries. I then asked about repairs, this is an expensive CDP and I am not a fan of disposable equipment. They were a bit surpr... | |
| Audio's Biggest Loser? I would have to include Nagra in the discussion, their little pre-amp is fantastic, small and light. The amps are also not heavy wts. My Herron Line stage and phono amp are rather compact and light, have not tried the Herron mono blocks. | |
| B&W 805 Diamond or Dynaudio C1 ?? Spent time with both and owned the C1, I like both and feel the new B&W is a great move forward. That being said, the C1 is deeper in base, sweeter in mids, more natural in highs, wider deeper soundstage, more detailed and less fatiguing. Wond... | |
| LP 'deep groove' - any implications on cartridge? Actually Deep Groove relates to the pressing era and the fact that these early LP's had a deep groove in the label area, nothing to do with the playback groove. They are indicative of very well done original LP's, mostly know for original Blue Not... |
