| Amp without phono stage=better amp.? James: In a single manufacturers line adding a phono stage is an upcharge (you are paying for it). To compare one manufacturer to another is like comparing apples to oranges (for example an $800.00 integrated amp (let's say -w- phono) may be consi... | |
| Class A amp-best way to burn-in? Hi Ben: I leave my Musical Fidelity amp on all the time. It runs in class A up to X amount of watts and then switches to A/B (it idles in class A). It takes a number of days to sound its best after it has been powered down and then started again. ... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Redkiwi: I get it. It is not only that you say yes and no, but "how" you say it as well. As far as I know nothing is perfect and there are always variences to be had. The sub atomic clock in Denver is pretty accurate, but I would assume that DAC's... | |
| Cosmetic Repair Their are plastic polishes sold at marine/boat stores that are used on fiberglass boats. I have used them on clear plastic souviner snowdomes (my wife's collection) with very good results. They polish but do not leave scratches (that I can see). T... | |
| HomeGrown Audio Impressions Hey, I just did a traditional AA one liner post. Don't know if I like it. I feel different, kind of light headed. Anyone interested in a one liner thread? | |
| HomeGrown Audio Impressions Frank S: How did you go about shielding the IC? | |
| Single bi-wire or double bi-wire ? I suspect that like almost everything, the results that you achieve with bi-wiring are system and taste dependent. I tried it with Castle Acoustic Isis speakers (already had the additional shotgun run after a failed bi-amp setup, so why not). Well... | |
| smoothing those sibilants... Pinning or better yet holding your ears back and in reduces sibilance. No joke, try it. Hwy61 is also right on IMO. Having attempted a career as a professional musician I have heard a lot of SSSSS words in live performances that were due to both t... | |
| PSB speakers? Anyone have any opinions? Thought I would add my two cents in regard that the PSB speakers would be good for HT. I recently (two weeks ago) auditioned the PSB Silveri and Goldi speakers and found them to be very good indeed in the price range for two channel listening. Not... | |

| Anyone ever opened MIT cables? Most cables are overpriced IMO. They are also system and taste dependent. I use both Homegrown Super Silver and HT Truthlink IC's (switch them out). They sound entirely different and I like them both at certain times and for certain music. All cab... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? I just ordered the Mapleshade Double Helix Digital Cable. It is not a coaxial design. Since I have never used a digital cable before I thought that I would start with the unknown. I also enjoy talking with Pierre at Mapleshade who has freely share... | |
| The fallacy of ac treatment Jeffrt: You may be able to locate him on the "All SS Amps Sound Alike" thread at that other site. | |
| Classe integrated or Musical Fidelity? Sam: Hi-Fi Choice gave the A3 a so so review. They also did not try it with a variety of equipment. For example my X-A1 did not work well with Linn Tukans during a home demo but sings with the other speakers that I have thrown at it. I like Hi-Fi ... | |
