| Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions" Mrtennis, your comment is valid although I would suggest it is only a step toward what could be a far more pleasing experience. If you liked the sound of replacing one cable/pair did you then proceed to add additional cables incrementally to see w... | |
| Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions" Mrtennis, briefly the logical basis resides in cables having a sonic character due to construction and materials. If you have never compared sets of cables I don't expect you to agree with that statement. As you suspect there are too many variable... | |
| Magnepan announces the 20.7 Brownsfan, You are right that semantics plays a large part in the matter. For me an incremental change happens when a speaker retains its basic character and is improved. I believe that is the case with the 1.7 and 3.7, and I believe it will be th... | |
| Magnepan 3.6, 3.7 or Tannoy Westminister SE Robert, Do your best to own both, if possible. You seem, as I was, torn between desire for two fundamentally different sounds based on two radically different technologies. You will not obtain a dream speaker which does it all; no one can as such ... | |
| Magnepan announces the 20.7 Despite the hyperventilating expect an incremental improvement, as I predicted with the 1.7 and 3.7. | |
| Which Cables Are of Most Importance? If at all possible run channels through which new wires could be pulled. That way, as inevitably it will as new cables are discovered/designed to be far better, you can update them by having them pulled through the channels. Is there any way to ru... | |
| Clarity Organic Speaker Cables The Z cables designs have been retired; the Organic series are new designs by Chris Owen. I don't believe the former are available any longer. I reviewed the Clarity line for Dagogo.com | |
| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC I have confirmed the LME49990 should work fine with the Plus version, and I'm seeking a longer list. | |
| Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions" Well, it seems like a lot of fluff so far. Seriously, this is supposed to be a great defence of using mixed cables? So far this is a pretty weak argument. Inna, you are the only one who seems to understand the importnace of utilizing entire sets o... | |
| Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions" Well, I see I've stirred the pot a bit. Good. I'm not interested in how popular my ideas are as much as how efficacious my methods are in moving a rig toward superior sound. Some have voiced strong opinions but have not given any argument why mixe... | |
| MERRY CHRISTMAS A Joyous and Blessed Christmas to Everyone! | |
| Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions" Mixing cables virtually assures mediocrity. | |
| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC Tubegroover, even though it would make sense that all opamps which work with one unit might work with the other, a person should not risk it. That assumption could be drastically wrong given the circuit boards/circuit are not identical. The same n... | |
| EE Minimax Plus DAC vs. Rega DAC Regarding Opamp rolling the EE Minimax DAC Plus; NOTE: I have been in contact with Morningstar Audio about the opamps used for the Plus version; It is not acceptable to simply use any of the opamps which worked for the original version.For instnac... | |
| Power amps for King II speakers Banpuku, I have been using the Pathos Classic One MkIII integrateds in Mono config., the VAC Phi 200 (two in Mono mode), and one other under review. Your room is approximately the size of Kevin Hayes' room of VAC who runs the King. I would probabl... |
