| Outstanding brands? "Just learned that Zanden when set up correctly is simply one fine system.What other brands could be considered to be in the same league."It certainly is. Other systems in the same league I am familiar with:Wavac with Steve Nugent's Spoiler DAC. o... | |
| will adding a subwoofer improve overall audio I've only stumbled late unto this thread and as far as my personal experience with all sorts of sub systems goes, I find Newbee's advice excellent. For all it is worth I have nothing to add or subtract from it, except if properly set up, it may gi... | |
| Subs & Group Delay I've never bothered about the science, never had the time, when my ears were still good, but experimented happily using my ears and from what they told me, I'd agree completely with what Shadorne has said, namely the lower the better and even if y... | |
| How to reproduce sound of piano Plaser,In case you did not want to spend the extra money for the sub controller or are unhappy with the results, here is what I found useful when setting up subs. Probably you have already done all that and are happy. In that case just ignore me, ... | |
| The "charactor" of pure Class A? Hello MrT,Yes you are right, they were called ML-2s. I had forgotten and yes, they sounded a tad dry, you are right there too, but at that time I could live with that because of their finesse and speed and I stuck with them until I discovered Jadi... | |
| Wavac PR-X2 Michael,I've had the four chassis Jadis, the VTL 7.5 Mk II and the Atma-Sphere two chassis preamp and the latest Zanden. All are excellent offerings, but the Wavac, tube rolled with NOS 1955 Mullards beats them all in the fields of resolution, sou... | |
| Zanden transport and DAC or PC audio system HI KLFK,No I didn't I'm afraid. Should have though, but I didn't feel like experimenting: Too lazy and happy with my rig, preferred to listen to music. (: | |
| Can a fuse affect sound quality in my Classe Amps Exactly!! | |
| The "charactor" of pure Class A? Authority yes and finesse and sweetness, when called for. The early ML-20 monos had it 40 years ago and how wonderful they sounded on the Quads or later the Servo Statics. Anyone remember?And Ralphs own now on my Sound Labs, which is a difficult l... | |
| Wavac PR-X2 Just stumbled into this. Lovely Katharina has said it all.(Next time you're hungry come over and eat)Cheers,D | |
| Zanden transport and DAC or PC audio system KLFK,Yes it was the latest Zanden combo. As to what the weak spot here might be, I really don't have the expertise to answer. But I can tell you this: I've tried the modest TRENDS USB converter with the Model 5000 Signature DAC and it sounded exce... | |
| How to reproduce sound of piano Greg,Thanks for voicing your understanding of the true core or rather coeur of my efforts. Wished it could have been done more cheaply. But for that the technical resources, outward as well as inward ones were wanting.Dave, dipole bass with planar... | |
| How to reproduce sound of piano OOps, yes I must repent, being even much much slower than Newbee, I only now realized that Plaser had pictures of his room here! I've always had a mental picture of his "new room" in my head. Considering the room pictured here, I'd fully agree wit... | |
| How to reproduce sound of piano Dave, then you should know how difficult it is to get it right. Don't forget Plaser is new to this and as you should know with your experience, it is the easiest thing in the world to ruin your entire system with subs which are not blended right i... |
