| Cable Elevators Old thread but -- elevating my cables off the ground with pillows dramatically reduces induced RFI (local radio station) that I can otherwise hear through the speakers at a close listening distance. Elevate them, and I need to hold my ear up to th... | |
| Upgrading through the current Revel lineup I recommend that you send me your F52's in exchange for my F12's ;) | |
| revel salon2 room size Personally, I would get the Revel Studio2's and put them fairly close to the long wall. Move them out as little as necessary to get the sound you want. If I remember correctly, the Revels have an adjustment to compensate for room boundaries so you... | |
| Review: Purist Audio Design 20th Anniversary Aqueous Speaker cable It's their second day and they're doing quite a bit better now. For the first few hours, I was a bit iffy on them. Now they're becoming more liveable.Very musical cables, and they are sounding more integrated. Really world-class musical bass perfo... | |
| Review: Purist Audio Design 20th Anniversary Aqueous Speaker cable I'm demoing some Aqueous Anniversary biwire (3m). So far (first few hours,) they are *extremely* resolving and fuller-range when compared to Musaeus, However, I'm concerned that they might have a noticeable upper frequency glare that I'm not likin... | |
| Krell 400xi vs NAD M3 vs Music Fidelity A5 vs Naim I tested a Krell 400xi vs an NAD M3 and it was no contest - the NAD M3 was in an entirely different league. The 400xi had an odd, industrial sound. Excellent recordings could sound very good on it, though. The NAD M3 made everything sound fantasti... | |
| NAD M3/Marantz PM11 In my tests, the NAD M3 is a really unique product - I have not heard another amp like it. It has a very warm and organic sound. The high end has absolutely no etchiness at all. The NAD M3 can sound fantastic even with modest sources. It has a nat... | |
| Warm and Detailed S.S. Amp? Simaudio amps should give you warmth and musicality while also giving you good detail. They are very "natural" sounding.-Daniel | |
| squeezebox vs sonos SqueezeBox will stream music loslessly from a PC. It generally requires a PC to function. The regular model of Sonos includes a storage server, so it stores your music as well. Sonos has additional functionality which allows you to do multi-room s... | |
| Martin Logan Aerius i vs. Spica TC-60 Yep, I wouldn't use the Adcoms with the Aerius. The Aerius can sound a bit "hard" at times. This can be tamed with a musical solid state amp or a quality tube amp. I'd recommend looking at used SimAudio Moon amps (70W or more) for solid state or a... | |
| Bad Experience with B&W's: Anyone else? I'm not someone who has a long history with B&W, but I did have a pair of 602 S3's and didn't like them. I think the problem with the midrange is related to dispersion - I had to lock my head within a 1-inch window to really hear the midrange ... | |
| USB Soundcards - faint popping/clicks DShea,You want to have at least 20% free on your hard drive. Otherwise you will have the potential for major file fragmentation that will result in low performance and the problem you describe above.Specifically, I'm pretty sure the problem is the... | |
| Quality of A7N8X Deluxe onboard sound & £40 5.1 sp Hi there,It doesn't sound like you're heading in the right direction for good sound. On-board motherboard sound is always very noisy (even NForce2 on-board sound,) and you are also listening to MP3's which have ~8% of the data of the original CD a... | |
| CD/SACD Players with volume control under 4K? Linn Unidisk SC has a volume control but that's right at $5K. | |
| best DAC for PC server Hi there,I use an RME card as well. I'm using coax out. If you want to lower jitter, you should probably upgrade your card with a little daughter-card that RME sells that has a word clock out, and then get a DAC with a word clock in. (You can then... |
