| High End Audio......Sucking the Romance out of the Music? There was something nice about the good old days when if you wanted to listen to music you could just turn on your system, insert any CD, press play, and enjoy..........Now I have to plan hours (or days?) in advance to turn everything on to warm ... | |
| Recomend Some Albums Recorded with True Imaging. Many great suggestions. I will admit it can be a challenge finding some of these releases. Or the good remasters.But thanks everyone..........I have been looking forward to the mailman to arrive the last few weeks! | |
| SCAM ALERT ON MULTIPLE CRAIGS LISTS - Watch Out! There back.............https://cnj.craigslist.org/ele/d/warminster-mark-levinson-no390s-stereo/7071258618.html | |
| 10 meters of interconect cable is too long. A 30 foot speaker cable is much better than a 30 foot interconnect........... | |
| Are your speakers designed for your listening taste and hearing ability? Its not just compensating for age. Most people will pick a speaker that has a tipped up high end when comparing 2 speakers back to back. The flat response speaker will sound muffled by comparison. At least at first. Its only after you get the brig... | |
| Does anyone have a Sony DVP-S9000ES that reads the SACE layer The auto tracking procedure is in the service manual. You should be able to find a free download of it (or at least I did years ago). I am not sure if you need a special Sony SACD for it to work or if any SACD will work. I never had to try it sinc... | |
| Does anyone have a Sony DVP-S9000ES that reads the SACE layer They should read SACDs. But they are getting up in years and a significant fraction now have tracking errors with SACDs. I forgot what manual it was in but there is a setup /diagnosis screen where you can set it to automatically adjust itself t... | |
| Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"? oldhvymecThe capacitor and resistor on the output end of the Transparent cable is just a Zobel network. If you connect them directly to the speaker terminals it would simplify things. Just stick them in the holes where bare cables go or maybe... | |
| Stereophile, Pass Integrated and personal taste @erik_squires What part of the distortion signatures concern you? From what I see you might hear a slight 60 cycle hum at -76 dB's but everything else is under 90dBs. And there is some kind of harmonics in the noise signature (it is not rando... | |
| THD In Light Bulbs One thing to remember with anything that has THD is it only applies to audiophiles and power company managers. No one cares if their light bulb is a little bit dimmer than it is supposed to be or that your hairdrier could be more efficient if they... | |
| Can I cheat and not get caught? Glad you got it fixed. I also found that there is no universal spec for speaker posts. I had spades that worked fine on most speakers but wouldn't fit others (Paradigm runs big). I am not talking by a lot though, maybe 1/32- 1/64 too small. Ju... | |
| Recomend Some Albums Recorded with True Imaging. While I am always open to finding excellent recordings for the purpose of this thread lets stick to recorded in one take and minimally mixed. If not things get too confusing.I do like progressive music but I just mentioned it as an example of the... | |
| Recomend Some Albums Recorded with True Imaging. I have plenty of great music to listen to and most are acceptable recordings (but a few sound so bad I can only listen to them in my car). And my intent is not to find music I don't like. I would like to find some well recorded examples of good... | |
| Recomend Some Albums Recorded with True Imaging. JaybarI’ve recently discovered some old school jazz from the “3 Sounds” and amazed by the quality of the recording given the era. Great listen if you’re into jazz. What are your favorites? | |
| Recomend Some Albums Recorded with True Imaging. Bsmg- I have been listening to Al DiMeola, John McLaughlin, and Paco DeLucia "Friday Night in San Francisco" for years. It is a great album by guitar masters and something like that is exactly what I am trying to find. The problem is it i... |
