| Yes No EAR acute cd player into my pathos tt ?. You should have a routine which you do not vary from when it comes to set up of a new system and in which you are using a source as volume control. You should always set the volume to minimum on all components. Some amps also have output controls,... | |
| Yes No EAR acute cd player into my pathos tt ?. Yes, I do this all the time with two Pathos Classic One MkIII integrateds running mono. You can set the output of the player to Max, then control the volume from the integrated. Just be sure at initial setup that you start with level down to minim... | |
| Being grateful for what we have Well... you can spend your life pursuing adventure - and end up dead or crippled up later in life(i.e. extreme skiers, mountain climbers, etc.) Or, you can spend your life toiling for the green, and end up with a dead marriage, broken home, aliena... | |
| Power cord heiarchy The Power Line Conditioner should not be a given. One must try out both ways, with and without plc. There is no guarantee that the plc will bring an absolute improvement. Then, any power cord from the wall is most important as a general rule. HOWE... | |
| Anyone own the King Sound "King" speaker that can The King is a mature product; I do not know of any major revisions to it since I first saw it at RMAF 2008. The King II is an actual speaker, an extension of the King concept, not a slight variation. It has never been presented to me as a fix, but... | |
| Speaker jumpers on Tannoy System 12's On most decent systems in a room without too much ambient noise a person with good hearing can indeed tell the difference between wiring the M/T vs. woofer. You should try it both ways. Likely you will hear a "significant" ( subjective term in thi... | |
| Anyone own the King Sound "King" speaker that can Being more technically correct, a working model of the King II was shown at CES; It is in development. The pic of the King II is in my Dagogo.com show report. The original King is an extremely strong performer imo due to it being both ESL and line... | |
| Anyone own the King Sound "King" speaker that can The VAC/Kingsound/Cardas room at Axpona seems to have been one of the most well received. The King was in use, not the King II which was seen at CES. Use of a fine cable such as Cardas and the VAC Royal power supply would elevate the sound dramati... | |
| Anyone own the King Sound "King" speaker that can Ha, should have revisited the posts. Jumping between too many conversations. I forgot that there was more than one Roger involved here in the situation. :) I thought that the setup mentioned was a bit too spartan for Roger Du Naier and the King, b... | |
| Anyone own the King Sound "King" speaker that can Clio09, you may have been listening to the King II, which uses an outboard power supply. To my knowledge there is no separate bass amp; all the drivers are powered together. The King II is at $10,500, which is not out of line with the original Kin... | |
| Most improved last 10yrs: Speaker, amp, or pre? Foster9, I put the components together merely out of curiosity. They were meant for different rigs, but I can't pass up an experiment in system building. The results were far beyond expectations. Last night I switched the power cables on the VAC R... | |
| Magnetic flux vibration damper? Stereo MRI machines... hmmm. No sacrifice is too great for ultimate audio! ;) | |
| Magnetic flux vibration damper? Kijanki, I was being facetious. :) | |
| Most improved last 10yrs: Speaker, amp, or pre? False dichotomy; the tide of increasing technological benefits lifts all boats. One of the most significant technological changes is the new breed of component, the "new integrated", which incorporates a device for streaming audio, or a preamp, or... | |
| logical steps up from DacMagic? Try a couple different digital cables first. You should be able to hear a distinct difference between them, and this may resolve your issues. In fact, for the fun of it, take an IC and put it in acting as the digital cable. You will likely be surp... |
