| dcs puccini, chord red ref, meitner cdsa or nagra Which sounds better: a very good vinyl set up or full Scarlatti set up?Chris | |
| Very low speaker impedance Thank you for your explanation. Does this mean that in fact a low impedance design gives a more fast and dynamic response (with the restriction that one should use a kilowatt amplifier)?Chris | |
| How many of us look under the hood?? Abuck: you should always disconnect the unit from AC line first :)Chris | |
| I've heard the MartinLogan CLX.... WOW The speaker looks like a DIY project. Especially the rear of the base. Should this thing really cost $20k? How awful!Chris | |
| Apogee Diva Some of the Diva's are for sale so now and then. I think the owners are asking ridiculous prices for these near 20-year old speakers ($10k-12k is not uncommon). I've seen once a rebuild pair that was for sale. You had to pay... only $16k! Do you t... | |
| How many of us look under the hood?? Most of us don't have technical background, I'm no exception. But I like to see what is inside a component. If I see a neat layout with quality parts it gives me certain feeling of "trust" with regard to both the product and the manufacturer. But ... | |
| Lavry DA10 and CD transport If any of you disagrees with Rademaker, please respond.Chris | |
| Review: Accustic Arts Reference Tube Hybrid DAC II DA converter I also have the Accustic Arts Tube DAC now. It reminds me of Lavry sonically. Btw, do you think the Tube DAC is sensitive to a variety of transports? Chris | |
| Lavry DA10 and CD transport Hi Drubin, that would be one of the possibilities, yes. Personally I've never encountered a D/A converter that is not sensitive for transports, even megabuck ones. So there might be another explanation. I'm still in doubt...Chris | |
| Lavry DA10 and CD transport Bob, of course you are right, but with some contemporary DAC's differences between transports are still easy to hear. For example: the Accustic Arts Tube DAC is still sensitive for transports or Accuphase DAC's. With the Lavry DA10 I can hear only... | |
| room treatment effectiveness For the listening room there is one rule: It should have good acoustic properties from the very beginning so you could optimize it with acoustic devices. If the room is bad, then you are in big trouble. There is no acoustic device that can turn yo... | |
| Treatments or therapy - what on earth.. funny The massive power conditioning with banks of electrolytic capacitors is probably originally an idea from the Swiss company Audio Consulting. I believe the square thingies are chewing gum, so you can chew on them during listening or tweaking. Just ... | |
| Spectron Musician III SE Mk.2? What Changed? Often audiophiles are getting to concerned witn modifications. It's as if without the modifications they can't live any longer with their unmodified gear. This is ridiculous: an audio unit, be it an amplifier, CD-player or speaker should sound goo... | |
| Wavelength Cosecant USB v3 vs Benchmark USB DAC1 Hi Jax, it's a difficult thing: does the Benchmark sound as you described it because it is a very analycal and honest piece of hardware or does the Wavelength make music more palatable by softening the transients somewhat? I think the question is:... | |
| solder-Eutechnic,Wonder,WBT?? Yeah, lead and tin are quite inferior with regard to conductivity, but why do some high end audio manufacturers regard lead free solder as "The beginning of the end of high quality audio"? One of them is Goldmund from Switserland if I can recall. ... |
