| Who prefers the Quad 57s over the 63s? Thanks. As far as I know, the trannies are original. | |
| Who prefers the Quad 57s over the 63s? Weseixas, that's would most seem to experience. I listen to a lot of vocals so bigger sweeter voice may be more to my liking, although "colored" to some. I already have a one of the best two way I have ever heard when it comes to imaging and stagi... | |
| Who prefers the Quad 57s over the 63s? Weseixas, thanks. Do you prefer the midrange of the 57s or 63s? | |
| Who prefers the Quad 57s over the 63s? I know this debate must have been argued over the years. But I'm waiting on a pair of rebuilt 57s and wondering if I should have gone with the 63s. But I tend to go with the more "musical" speaker over a more accurate speaker. It seems like many m... | |
| Who prefers the Quad 57s over the 63s? But the grills are so pretty and woven work of art...and the thought of accidentally getting electrocuted. | |
| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? "For all I know, we'd be divorced by now, and she'd have my house and stereo." Classic. Based on current statistics, you would have had greater than 50% chance of this happening if you married her. Enjoy your stereo system. | |
| difference between an active and a passive preamp? Yea, I know about active buffer option on the Tap X. John told me the active buffer degrades the sound of the Tap X and stopped including them on his later runs of the Tap X. I think the buffer was an opamp. | |
| difference between an active and a passive preamp? Although I have not heard the buffered passives Clio09 mentioned, the one's I have heard did not sound as transparent as the pure passive preamps. But this was a long time ago, and I don't even remember the brand of the buffered passives I auditio... | |
| Music First Audio Passive Magnetic Preamplifiers? No disrespect to Agear, but anytime one uses words like "massacre" and "everything else 'sounded like HiFi'" is suspect. What may sound great in one system may not sound so good in another. At least, that's been my experience. | |
| Music First Audio Passive Magnetic Preamplifiers? Anyone have any experience with the Atma-Sphere MP1 preamp? Just wondering how this compares with other preamps mentioned on this thread. It's output transformerless and has no output coupling capacitor. Triode class A design with outboard power s... | |
| Music First Audio Passive Magnetic Preamplifiers? I have the Bent Tap X, and it is one of the most transparent passive I have heard with flexibility no other passive can match. It was about $2000 USD for the 6 input version. It still doesn't beat going directly from my DAC to amp, but gets it pre... | |
| Best USB DAC for 1000-1500? Latinsamba1, if you really want to get the best sound out of the Tranquility, try using the latest Mac Mini for server with Pure Music or Fidelia. I have the latter, and it is noticeably better than iTunes. | |
| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? "Would you believe some high performance speakers are being featured in Elle magazine?"Are these actual ads for the speaker or reviews? | |
| difference between an active and a passive preamp? Al, thanks. My understanding of TVC or AVC vs resistor/LDR volume control is that as you apply more attenuation, TVC will decrease its output impedance whereas resistor volume control will increase its impedance. That is one argument for TVC becau... | |
