| CD Transport Repair If it's anything other than a simple fix, or if it's fixable but only at high cost, I recommend you junk it and get one of the newer "post CD transports" such as the Audiolab 6000 CDT ($550) or the similar Cambridge model. That's what I did, repla... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Village Vanguard about 3 weeks ago to see Kenny Barron and his quintet. Just a few days later it became a trio, presumably without the sax and cornet. | |
| Benchmark 1, 2 & 3 I was very surprised to see that. There is a significant difference between the DAC1 and DAC2, as most reviewers said at the time of the DAC2's introduction -- more detail, smoother, less bright -- overall much more listenable. I had the DAC1 and ... | |
| Looking for feedback on whether to buy Audeze LCDX or Mr Speakers EtherC Correction: An iPod can be used as a source with the Mojo provided that the iPod has a lightning connector, such as the iPod Touch, and not the older 30 pin connector, such as the iPod Classic. That is, an device with the 30 pin connector cannot b... | |
| Looking for feedback on whether to buy Audeze LCDX or Mr Speakers EtherC I sold the HPP1 not because it wasn't good -- it was very good - but because I wanted what was considered the best at the time (3 years ago) - separate amp (ALO) and DAC (Cypher Lab) using an iPod as a source. But the Mojo is better than all of th... | |
| Looking for feedback on whether to buy Audeze LCDX or Mr Speakers EtherC I would just say that as with any TOTL headphone, the better the amp (and DAC), the better the sound. The Ether C is reasonably efficient -- even an iPhone drives it using max volume, and a good portable amp can do a very good job. Do mean the Fo... | |
| Looking for feedback on whether to buy Audeze LCDX or Mr Speakers EtherC I have the Audeze Sine also, and if you change from one to the other, you will hear the Audeze heavier bass v. the faster but lighter and more natural bass in the Ether C. Some may prefer a heavy bass (esp. for rock or hip hop) - I didn't - but t... | |
| Looking for feedback on whether to buy Audeze LCDX or Mr Speakers EtherC Additionally, note that the Ether C requires up to 200 hours of burn-in to achieve its maximum sound quality -- especially in the bass. The manufacturer has stated this on the Head-Fi site and there are numerous posts by owners attesting to this.... | |
| Looking for feedback on whether to buy Audeze LCDX or Mr Speakers EtherC I had the Audeze LCD-X (and LCD-XC) at the same time that I had the Ether C -- and ended up selling the Audezes. Heaviness and comfort aside, I found the Audeze LCD-X ultimately to have too much bass emphasis and not enough resolution (though reso... | |
| The great Soupy Sales died Also in the above link a good recap of some of his zany characters and some skits from his shows. Had me laughing just reading them. | |
| The great Soupy Sales died Soupy Sales:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soupy_SalesIncluding: Sales also hosted a nighttime show, Soup's On, to compete with11 O'Clock News programs.[17] The guest star was always a musician, often a jazz performer, at a time when jazz was popu... | |
| Toslink/optical cable recommendations The Wireworld is glass. | |
| Toslink/optical cable recommendations I have both the Unique Products glass toslink and the Wireworld (I think I have the 6) and have done comparisons. While the U.P is an incredible value and produces excellent sound, the Wireworld is superior in terms of sound, materials and constru... | |
| Passive Preamp Recommendations? Re the McCormack TLC-1, I had one for years and while the sound was very good, the sound did not compare with the sound form a Reference Line Preeminence One that I later bought. I suppose that's why Steve McCormack introduced the Deluxe version (... | |
| Sennheiser 650 Headphone Cable Upgrade I've got the Senn HD600 and a cable upgrade made a very very significant improvement. The same would definitely hold for the HD650 too, since the differences between them are relatively minor. I used a Moon Audio Blue Dragon for $185, IIRC. Any of... |
