| Speakers Don’t Matter As Much As We Think They Do? All speakers are capable of the changes the OP discusses. He has done nothing exceptional. To actually move up, he must seek a superior transducer. millercarbon stated, "Where you put the speakers matters more than which speakers, so why anyone ob... | |
| The “They are here” vs “You are there” sound topic I pay zero attention to distinctions such as "you are there" versus "they are here". It is a nebulous concept and has no power, imo, to actually advance an audio system. I consider it to be as fruitless as the phenomenon of "burn in", which I pay ... | |
| Stream box s2 ultra vs sonore ultrarendu Feel free to read my review of Small Green Computer sonicTransporter and SONORE Signature Rendu SE, and my follow up on the systemOptique Ethernet to Optic converter, which was stunningly effective. All articles at Dagogo.com | |
| Home Theater Done Right: Millercarbon's System This is HT done on a two channel HiFi platform, which does suffer some of the disadvantages of not being set up for a dedicated HT. That is not debatable. What is debatable is whether Chuck should have spent prodigiously on Tweaks. The thread is d... | |
| Interesting conundrum Big differences, even between similar types (i.e. SS vs SS, or tube vs. tube) are to be expected. This is normal. Ignorance, that is, lack of experience in comparing, can cause a person to be content, but it also is the enemy of progress and bette... | |
| Interesting conundrum You are not doing anything close to an apples to apples comparison. Your cords are inconsistent between the two setups, so you have no firm conclusion. The only thing you can say is, "I like this setup better," but you are far from being able to s... | |
| Calling all Legacy Aeris owners A simple fix for the seat height issue is to put a pair of coasters, or similar about 1/4" thick, under the backs of each speaker. This will tilt the baffle slightly forward, and you will find the entire presentation is cleaned up and benefitted h... | |
| So What Is Real? bob540, how about you try some aftermarket IC, SC and power cords, and get back to us. I already did what you suggest. See my article about the Audio by Van Alstine ABX Comparator at Dagogo.com Now, it's your turn. | |
| So what's the better deal (honestly)? What, you cannot tell the difference between an aesthetic and a performance improvement? ;) | |
| Stereophile, Pass Integrated and personal taste jsautter, fair points, good comments. I wish I could get my hands on more overseas components, but it’s hard to review, recommend a product that does not have a distributor in N. America. Ha, I was presuming initially that you were discussing Bern... | |
| What if the cable is too cheap that it cannot be that good? Talk is big, but comparison usually shows quickly that many supposed wonder cables - meaning, the supposedly wondrous cheap ones - are actually poor. | |
| So What Is Real? This post is another example of my principle: The greatest impediment to advancing an audiophile system is the audiophile. :( | |
| Stereophile, Pass Integrated and personal taste There is a cute phrase, "Don't jump to contusions." :) | |
| Stereophile, Pass Integrated and personal taste I guess no one has ever heard of running changes to production. | |
| Stereophile, Pass Integrated and personal taste jsautter, what is your system; what speakers are you running and which Berning? I can certainly see how/why you might select another amp as preferred over the past Pass designs. No secret that people have strong preferences as to make and sound si... |
