| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Bryon, as usual, quite logical and concise discussion. I made the statement regarding chintzy people and those without desire to work at it due to the sheer abundance of times these issues arise, not to infer that you or Al are pegged as one or th... | |
| Do powercords make a difference in sound? Zaikesman and Richard, you are correct. I learned long ago that cords have their own intrinsic sound/nature which is transferrable to all components with which they are used. Testing over one dozen sets of cables on multiple components/speakers ha... | |
| Differences between various Quantum devices The differences between Quantum devices are too small to be detected. ;) | |
| California Audio Show-why I hate audio conventions If you play the right material you won't have peopleTalking over your demo! Play something with compressionand magically some people who think such music can'tBe improved via high end systems disappear.They're wrong on that point, but it's not wor... | |
| What's powering your Maggie OnWalls? My surround system is far more modest than the two channel. The Outlaw 950 Surround Processor feeds a Rotel RB-976 six channel amp (configurable 6,5,4,3 channel) for the 7.1 HT system. I run five channels of the Rotel; one bridged for front channe... | |
| The Physics of Electricity I was going to edit the post briefly, but there seems to be a glitch somewhere which does not allow it at times; I ammend thus: Rather than suggest thinness in sound like SET amps, read some poorer SET amps. Also my concluding thought is too stron... | |
| The Physics of Electricity How many of you have actually compared sets of cables? I'm curious because so many people have strong opinions about cables, yet it seems an awful lot of those opinions have been formed by reading others' comments or simply one's own hunches. I as... | |
| DAC: Scott Nixon vs. Eastern Electric Jgb1166, good insights on these units. I encourage you, if you still have the EE, to see my Opamp rolling article at Dagogo.com and give it a try. With upgraded Opamps the Minimax is a very pleasantly improved experience. I think others would vouc... | |
| What does it take to have a revealing system? A system that is not revealing enough is not capable of showing off any component, nor the media being played on it. :) | |
| What's the best Tube DAC you have heard? Mofimadness, I can understand why you would be enjoying it; you have a lovely combo of opamps and tube with the Minimax. Out of curiosity which transport and cabling are you using? | |
| Missouri Tornado prayers go out to all I have heard two things; it will take at least two years to restore the primary services - schools, govt. department buildings, etc. Also, the majority of people have been housed temporarily, due to the kindness of others, in friends and relative'... | |
| active speakers, Paradise? Trouble in paradise? Blindjim, I can appreciate that you're always asking questions, always seeking new angles on the audio game. It's that kind of curiosity which leads to some great breakthroughs. I also wondered just what the difference would be between active and ... | |
| Why Not More Conversation about VAC? Cables of the same brand I typically prefer using the balanced with the Phi 200 especially when using the amp in Mono mode, and cables of differing brands one simply has to compare - the results are unpredictable which (RCA/XLR) will be superior. ... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 too bright, HELP I am not surprised you find the combination of gear currently harsher/too bright. I would suggest a cable set change (I have been unimpressed with single smaller gauge wires) and that you use the Denon 2900 as transport to an Eastern Electric Mini... | |
| Dollar to Satisfaction Ratio not met. James, here's some straight ahead advice for you, as you stated, "I'm searching for a solution that would allow satisfaction with all pieces I choose to pair at any given time. It's just one of those things and I do thank you for your input, but I... |
