| Burn-in time Vs. Getting used to a sound Joe: Why does it take a few minutes, at least, to bring a pot of water to a boil? Does water ever really go away, even when the Hydrogen is released in extreme reactions, or does it just complete a cycle and come back as water again? | |
| DSP Devices for Room/Speaker Correction I have also heard that systems sound better if "you" are not a part of the room acoustics. Maybe some type of clothing or a special suit is in order, perhaps a remote listening device? | |
| Class "A" solid state vs. Tube amp.? Dustych: I tolerate and enjoy a Musical Fidelity X-A1. Which is way differnt in it's sound being that it is SS. Have not heard the A series. | |
| Neophite needing advice Thanks for the additional push Jayboard. White would be perfect, the room has white "ragged" walls. Yes, the LF specs are lower than that of the Tukan. I could not use the Tukans in our living room (L shaped room) because of unruly bass. But this ... | |
| cal. audio ikon mkII power boss upgrade No-Money: The system other than noted is: Musical Fidelity X-A1, Kimber 4VS (one run) with the same wire used to replace the stock jumpers on Castle Acoustic Isis speakers. It is a modest but nonetheless good sounding system. I assume that you cra... | |
| What makes / defines an audiophile ? Anyone who is aware of what "can be" in musical reproduction. Whether they achieve it in their own system or not. | |
| The fallacy of ac treatment Snobgoblin: A $500.00 or $1500.00 cord is only worth it if you are willing to spend the money and can live with it (and hear it). You would of course want to audition the cord or have a return policy in writing. And you need not start with such an... | |
| Class "A" solid state vs. Tube amp.? Chedo: The only part of your system that I have listened to are the 1.1's and I have only auditioned them twice for a short period of time. They seemed to require a great deal of power/current to open up IMO which limits your choices if you have a... | |
| Most Honest Audio Magazine? Outlier: I also enjoy Hi-Fi Choice and generally agree with their points on the gear that I am familiar with and own. The "old reviews" are now back on their web site, just scroll down a ways on the home page. The owner of Musical Fidelity is a pi... | |
| Class "A" solid state vs. Tube amp.? Chedo: What is the rest of your system? It's a hard call because tubes really do it for popular and traditional acoustic music and class "A" is great for classical, especially if you have the power/current reserves for musicical peaks. There are a... | |
| Burn-in time Vs. Getting used to a sound Lak: QUESTION: Does a chicken have lips? ANSWER: No, but it has cheeks. | |
| Neophite needing advice Eldragon: Thanks again for the info on Linn. I looked at the speakers a month ago on their web site and totally disregarded them at the time. I have a Linn dealer that is an hour from here (that's 10 miles in LA) and they are on the way to another... | |
| Burn-in time Vs. Getting used to a sound I kind of performed this test but with the same pair of cables. When I purchased my used HT IC's (already broken in) I knew about directionality but did not know which way the arrows were supposed to go. First time round I had then backwards. It o... | |
| The fallacy of ac treatment Fpeel: Excellent cheap tweak, thanks. I have also seen sheets of thicker aluminum at the lumber yard. | |
| Neophite needing advice Eldragon: PS: Chester Himes detective novel series, ever read any? I am going to try and locate them on Bibiofind. I found out about them in American Heritage magazine. |
