| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Chris and pegasus,I think that Ledermann’s video has some subtleties that merit further clarification. At least to my understanding of his dialogue, he is discouraging use of electrical measurement primarily for setting azimuth with his Soundsm... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Chris,Merry Christmas my friend! I am a bit confused by the last statement above. If the cartridge’s generator is misaligned, I can easily see why listening will give a better result than setting azimuth using visual alignment tools, mirrors, e... | |
| Help needed for a skeptic! Hi drjsmd,Nothing at all wrong with buying used cables, but the point is that these are likely fakes. Advice to be skeptical of China cable "resellers" is very valid as there many manufacturers (PS Audio and Oyaide for two) who actually post such ... | |
| Added value of separate server? Yes guys, if you have a Benchmark DAC, your system will defy all known audio reality. It is also imperative not to actually listen to new/different things before forming your opinions.Dave | |
| REL Vs SVS for 2 channel music listening Hi David,No experience with Longbow but it also gets its signal from the hi-level Speak-on cable from the amplifier's outputs and then transmits the signal wirelessly to compatible REL (their highest end) subs, so the benefit of the REL design sho... | |
| I love my PS Audio Direct Stream with Red Cloud :) According to Exogal CEO Jeff Haagenstad in conversation with Michael Lavorgna of Audiostream:"The longer version is that we don't do our D to A conversion in a conventional way. We have implemented a 6-core DSP in an FPGA (and we blew the "Read" b... | |
| Cable advice needed I'll never understand Ayre's affinity for Cardas. I found the Ayre/Cardas cables to rob the life from the music, negating the strengths of Ayre equipment. fdavis, I think you already have some very fine XLR cables in the Purist. Try them before g... | |
| Newbie here with a cable question Hi RAY,With a 12X13 room, your money would be much better spent on room acoustics vs cables, assuming that is not already addressed. Nonetheless, you might consider the Duelund 16 gauge wire from Parts Connexion for around $120 for a single run pa... | |
| Can't we all just get along? Right on Mark.Dave | |
| Vintage Onkyo gear vs Adcom The Onkyo A-10 was a great integrated amp. Used to be called "the poor man’s Accuphase" back in the day. I have had two (still have one) and they both amazed me with their neutral, clean, and powerful sound plus a fine phono section to boot.Dave | |
| REL Vs SVS for 2 channel music listening I wonder how many of you that are dissing or recommending other than REL have heard a REL Sub-Bass system properly set up in a good two-channel system with full-range loudspeakers? RELs are not designed to work as fixes for speakers with poor bass... | |
| What is your favorite holiday song? "O Holy Night". Katie Melua does an awesome job on this song IMO on her "In Winter" album. The rest of the album is fantastic as well.Dave | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Great posts mr d. You should post this stuff on the recent "Best tweaks EVER" thread. Good stuff.I tried AVM once, even on some Hi FI tuning fuses’ glass. Can’t say I noticed a sound improvement, but would certainly agree that it is expensive and ... | |
| More Bad News AT Thiel Had Kathy not "cashed out", none of this would have happened.Dave | |
| Schiit Yggdrasil -- 21 bit? Dear Sheldon, It's not physics class. It's music reproduction. All that matters is "sound quality" as perceived by the listener. Dave |
