| gallo reference 3.0 positioning? My components are a yba integrated with 100 watts and a heavily modified adcom dac with midrange copper interconnects and speaker cable. Ok, the setup is about 5.5 ft apart and 2 feet from the wall behind the speaker and 3 feet from one side wall ... | |
| gallo reference 3.0 positioning? thanks for the advice so far. i have simply noticed that there is more air and treble info if the tweeter is pointed more on axis with the listeners ear. in regards to the mapleshade stands, i can see them offering more stability, isolation, bette... | |
| CD Player advice request... I will second mapman's recommendation of the mhdt constantine+ model. It has a long-term rightness that is smooth, full-bodied, but not missing in the details. If the recording is huge it sounds huge, if it is not, well it sounds like it should. U... | |
| MHDT Constantine vs. MF V-DAC, Beresford 7520? Josh,I have the constantine+ dac and find very little to fault with it. Is yours a current model or one of the non+ models? If it is the + model with the upgraded op amps i think you would have to spend significantly more to maybe get better sound... | |
| Aperion Audio Intimus 6T I heard a pair recently at a friends house and they sounded very good to my ears. they were open and non fatiguing at the same time (a rare feat). the bass was adequate and balanced for their size. for room shaking dynamics a sub would be required... | |
| weird static sound? thanks jack,how did they determine it? it is extremely intermittent with me, i may only here it a couple times in 3-4 weeks but it bugs the crap out of me when it happens. what is a stage 1 condtioner? thanks | |
| weird static sound? It is running through the prima luna, but the sound goes away once i stop the disc from playing, i have done a litt le reading here and it sounds like it could be something coming through on the interconnects or a capacitor, but i am still unsure ... | |
| paranoid listener-damaging speakers? Well guys i got that spl meter and did some measuring mostly at the listening position (6 feet away). my peaks seem to average in the low 80's db. does this sound reasonable for my speakers 8" two way floorstanders? i just want to be slightly cons... | |
| paranoid listener-damaging speakers? so when i get this spl meter; any tips on how to correctly do the measuring? from the listening chair? at 1 meter from 1 speaker? thanks | |
| paranoid listener-damaging speakers? guys, i really appreciate your input so far. i am surmising that 1. i need an spl meter and 2. i am hearing the distortion in the tweeter so maybe i am clipping the amp a bit, although i thought 40 watts of tube power would be more than enough to ... | |
| speaker or amp distorting thanks for the advice so far guys, the frustrating thing is how good this system sounds when it is not distorting. it seems i need to proceed with caution and find a way to get bigger sound without losing the musical nature of this setup. two thin... | |
| how good are the non os dacs? kschiu,i ran across the 1541a chipset in my research and with the correct implementation it is regarded as one of the best ever, so it might be worth a revisit. obviously, what the rest of your system contributes to your sonic picture matters a gr... | |
| how good are the non os dacs? well, i thought i would update this thread that i started. i borrowed a well regarded non os dac that had obviously better bass and dynamics than mine but i never heard anything that really wooed me into enjoying it. then i got back on the interne... | |
| how good are the non os dacs? ok,so i have spent some time listening to a buddy's higher end system and liked his digital sound. came back to mine with a known cd and noticed that mine does many things well. however, i was able to pinpoint what annoys me about the sound. disto... | |
| how good are the non os dacs? thanks for the responses so far, i am getting a great impression of pros to this design and the limits of its capability. mr. tennis, since you own the one i want, how pleased are you with it and do you feel it was a good investment? nill the pill... |
