| Sonos surprise Well, then, I guess it remains to be heard, which I might just do. :) | |
| Sonos surprise I have no issue with Steve's recommendation of a reclocker, and I believe it would be beneficial. My question pertains to 32 bit DACs and the efficacy of the reclocker with such DACs. I have heard the Empiracle Audio gear and it is impressive; I w... | |
| Am I going to regret the Gallo 3.1s? Obviously, I do not have intimate knowledge of your schooling and fiscal health, so this is a general piece of guidance...You may regret spending that kind of money on audio when you're in school. How many tens of thousands of dollars school debt ... | |
| Sonos surprise Steve, my understanding is that with the stacked ESS Sabre chips doing 32 bit processing jitter is eliminated. Why, then would one want to put a reclocker in the chain before a component which does the same function? I can understand that if one h... | |
| How many enjoy low $ second system sound? The secondary and tertiary systems' impressiveness wears off quite quickly when I sit down in front of the main rig. These others only seem impressive when allowance is given for their shortcomings, the operative phrase being, "... pretty good for... | |
| What makes a bigger change, dac or preamp? Cables. ;) | |
| Sonos surprise Sonos is plenty good for the High End, or else I would not use it in my listening room. You may wish to have it modded and I'm sure there is substantial improvement to it - something I may pursue in time. However, you can get very good results sim... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? YOO-HOO! Liguy, how long of a business trip have you taken? It's been about three months now. Have you tried different power cords yet as we discussed here? Did all the guys in the audio club die of old age? What's happening? :) | |
| Mini Maggies ? Maplegrovemusic, Magnepan didn't demo the Minimags at a desk; they had them in a generous sized room with about ten people listening at a time. The speakers were maybe 15 feet from the listeners. So, in my mind there's a discontinuity between call... | |
| Wall Maggies vs. Floor Maggies One critical difference is that the MGMW (wall maggies) have captured speaker wires vs. floor standers which use your own speaker wires. This hurts the sound quality potential of the MGMW. Nevertheless, I use them in my HT. | |
| Hello, I may have a chance to go to In a nutshell, it is not worth it. Just a few precautions; shipping/return handling of the unit could be problematic, customs - what if you are hit with a charge for an expensive unit being brought into the country?, inability to conduct any kind ... | |
| Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions" Mrtennis, as you say, "... you could call me an alchemist without a method." Fair enough. :) | |
| Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions" My comments are applicable to the following cables - power, IC, digital and speaker. Al, I urge you to get past your doubt and try some aftermarket power cords on your other equipment; I believe your experience would be much more enjoyable. | |
| Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions" Mrtennis, By "auditioned" you mean used entire sets in your system, right? Not simply heard in another rig elsewhere. Just clarifying, because then the variables truly would be too great to draw any firm conclusions regarding the cables. So which ... | |
| Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions" Mrtennis, I tend to agree with you on your statement regarding manufacturers not wanting to admit to designing gear with a "coloration." The term coloration is fairly perjorative so it's avoided most of the time. I would agree that you are seeking... |
