| Experience with adding super tweeter? I tried the dual firing Aperion and another front firing one, the PTS I think, both with my Spendors (SP2/3R2) and Martin Logans (11A). Conclusions: 1. The dual firing one is much better built and sounding. If you like what a the supertweeter doe... | |
| Accuphase E-5000 factory power cord good enough? @duketbrd88 : I'm using Copper Line power cords from a British brand called Clearer Audio on my amplifier (1 m long) and PC (a bit too long at 2.5 m thickening the sound a bit too much perhaps, I might shorten it to 2 m soon) - these are OCC coppe... | |
| Accuphase E-5000 factory power cord good enough? @duketbrd88 : I have an E470 Accuphase integrated and an Accuphase SACD player. Both of these machines benefit greatly from aftermarket power cords. Accuphase sound, if there is such a thing, is all about finesse, a refined sound with plenty of mi... | |
| DAC upgrade Every cable has its own sound signature, just like any other component of the audio chain. Therefore, you may like my recommendation or not, it's a try and see matter, but IMO the Supra USB (the cheapest one, not the Excalibur, I had both and sold... | |
| What say you binding posts or direct wire? A couple of months ago me and a friend of mine compared, just for fun, his Exposure 3010 integrated amplifier to my Accuphase E470. As expected, the Accuphase proved superior. We did the comparison in my system, where I use the bare wire at the sp... | |
| ???Modern Speakers???Life Expectancy??? Some foam surround types do seem to degrade with movement (i.e.: excursion) as well as from the exposure to UV-radiation and atmospheric conditions, but more modern polyether-based foams last decades, and when treated with foam guard are very res... | |
| Integrated amplifier for Fritz Speakers I don't know your amp, but a passive pre can make the sound more detailed and immediate but also a bit sterile sometimes IMO, try to replace the Axiom with the Don Sachs and see what happens. Also, any single piece of cable, connector etc., includ... | |
| Thoughts and perceptions on the sound quality of Accuphase Digital Products I own the Accuphase DP550 SACD player and use it mostly as a DAC for streaming purposes (fed through a little Aurender USB-SPDIF converter). I don't have exposure to a lot of comparatively priced DACs, but I did compare it several times, in my own... | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD Here are my experiences regarding pairing Harbeth with Accuphase: - A few years ago I bought a pair of Harbeth 30.2 and I got to hear them in the seller's system comprising an Accuphase DP560 player, Accuphase E270 amplifier, Auditorium cables an... | |
| Aurender integrated streamer/DACs @gsomin : I know those Linn interconnects, I had a pair. Gave them away. I'd recommend that you do the same and buy proper cables, you system deserves much better than those Linn cheapies and trust me, the difference CAN be drastic. IMO, YMMV etc. | |
| Harbeth M40.1 vs. M40.2 vs. M40.2 Anniversary Edition vs. M40.3XD @audio_bidder : your question is not addressed to me; nevertheless, I’ll try to add my 2 cents. I’ve heard the M40.2 Ann. twice and, more importantly, I’ve owned the smaller M30.2 Anniversary for about an year. The tweeter is not at all fatiguing ... | |
| Harbeth M40.1 vs. M40.2 vs. M40.2 Anniversary Edition vs. M40.3XD Ha! Every iteration! @jjss49 , you are a treasure of knowledge on these forums! After your recent thread listing your highly impressive number or past and present dacs it only comes natural that you've had (not just heard, but actually owned!) eve... | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? Adding my voice to the chorus: 1. the in-room performance is very important; I'd not buy without a home audition (or the possibility to reverse the deal within the first, say, 24 hours); 2. I had the ADI dac and I returned it. It was... decent. ... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers I'm only reading good things about the Joseph Audio speakers. @prof loves them, you recommend them after reading about my tastes and expectations... I'm sure the Perspective 2's would be awesome. I'd be a bit wary of the reduction of body / densit... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Right! Good point, thank you. Being based in Europe, the second hand market for Devore speakers is rather scarce (and prices for American gear are quite high), but yes, this would be the plan. I forgot to answer prof's question. What do I want fr... |
