| Switched from Yggdrasil to Gungnir Multibit. rvpiano, You may discover that your preamp sounds best at or near the Unity Gain volume position if that is specified by your preamp's manufacturer. Dave | |
| Single Ended or Balanced -- a Difficult Choice Hi folkfreak,I have heard similar before from a reviewer friend that tenaciously sticks with SE interconnects despite having a full compliment of fully-differentially-balanced gear. The difference is that you actually compared them for yourself an... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Chris,Welcome home! It is nice to hear from you again. Dave | |
| Digital Music sounds too bright? Steve, Common sense defies stressing the pitfalls of using absorption between speakers while advocating placing a huge reflective glass panel in the same position, but you're the expert.Dave | |
| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? fsmithjack,I can only offer that I have used the K-1xe’s SE inputs from a tuner (and probably other things I have forgotten) and also the SE-only tape monitor input/output with no issues and found the sound quality to be excellent.I do recommend t... | |
| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? Another great post, Al. fsmithjack, the review below accurately articulates my long-term ownership experience with the K-1xe: http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/ayre_k1xe_v1xe_followup.htm Note the line: "You won’t mistake and K-1xe and V-1xe for ... | |

| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? My vote goes to the K-1xe but I am biased by years of ownership. Could be a lifetime buy.Dave | |
| What direction is VPI headed? The judgement re: the appropriateness of such inclusion is for the reader to discern. I found it to be inappropriate and felt it merited being called out. If you don’t feel that your post is a rant (and also your last post), you have lost perspect... | |
| Another soundstage question I heard that Sound Anchors is coming out with a "wisegrip". ;) lol It seems to me that, while high resolution componentry can help better portray accurate RELATIVE height between instruments/performers (it does IME), the best (only?) way to accura... | |
| What direction is VPI headed? slaw,Bringing Matt's expressed grief over the death of his mother into your rant is way out of bounds. Dave | |
| Is anyone going to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest? "I would never bash a manufacturer for poor show sound. So I won’t." Whatta gyp. :) lolDave | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Great Brad! Let us know how that baby sounds!In order to post pics, you have to either transfer them to your favorite online pic depository and then link it to a post using the "Insert URL" tab above the post or simply create a Virtual System page... | |
| Voodoo Audio Silverstream HDMI vs Purist Audio HDMI vs Wireworld Silver Starlight HDMI Glad you like your Purist HDMI cable, grey9hound. Albert Porter clued me in that the 30th Anniversary USB cable is much better than the Ultimate, so your observations are not surprising. Congrats!Dave | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Yes frogman, it should be close to flush but I might cheat it a wee bit (since there is allowance on the other end of the spindle tube) to correct Brad’s problem rather than alter the queuing eccentric setting unless it is far off. I seem to recal... |
