| Speaker Cables Upgrade - Which Ones? Alan Shaw is not an audiophile, not by any stretch. And yet, somehow he manages to design some pretty darn good speakers. | |
| Chord QuteHD DAC Review Bill, do you find the Chord presents a somewhat forward perspective, such that, for example, vocals are pushed further forward than many other DACs? That was my impression when I had one at home for a few days. I loved it otherwise. | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? Kudos to Al for doing the heavy lifting and writing it up so well. | |
| Hypex Ncore NC1200 Amps at NY Audio Show in April I have a friend who owns the Sanders speakers and amps, upon hearing the Merrill Audio Veritas vs the Sanders amps he replaced them with the Veritas.Drubin's First Law of Audiophilia: ANY new product will find a few customers who will buy it to re... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? I did listen to the two files but had trouble identifying the difference (my current system does not go very low in the bass, however). Both sounded extremely bright and spitty. How did you record them? | |
| 25.00 flat rate shipping The way it works is this: You enter your phone number and get an automated call to that number with a code you then have to enter. Draw you own conclusions as to how well this qualifies as verified. | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? I'm betting the SPL test when it happens will be inconclusive. Fishing, do you have a CD with frequency-specific tones you can use, like one of the old Stereophile Test CDs? One-third octave warble tones would probably be good and you want individ... | |
| 25.00 flat rate shipping However, the email also states that a $4 listing fee still applies and a 2% transaction fee once the sale is made (up to $100). That makes no sense. You have a choice of $25 flat OR the old way. There is no commission or $4 listing fee if you opt ... | |
| Next step after Benchmark DAC1 Yes, the Chord is a must-hear if you don't need the volume control or analog inputs of the Benchmark. | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? So you use the learning remote to mute the system, and then what? Does the sound change for the worse when you unmute it? | |
| Does your system sound better than most demo's? A couple of comments and observations.I have always thought that show exhibitors would do better to present modest systems. If a room is showing very pricey gear with unobtainium cables and lots of room treatments and isolation tweaks and whatnot,... | |
| Review: Jim Smith RoomPlay voicing Tweak Great writeup, Peterayer. Although Jim's book is quite good, I think it takes someone with his years of field experience to pull it off correctly in a reasonably short amount of time. | |
| Next step after Benchmark DAC1 The new DAC2 HGC is worth a listen. You can get it on 30-day home trial from Benchmark directly or from some of the usual suspects.Based on my recollection of the DAC1, which I also owned, the new model is definitely higher resolution but retains ... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? We need Gregory House on this. | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? Fishing, where do you live? I'm sure one of the knowledgeable would be eager to help you out.Mapman, why do you persist in pointing to the amp(s) as suspect when the phenomenon only occurs after a period of time? If they are not up to the task, do... |
