| No audio playing SACD"s If your cable is going to a non-SACD DAC, there could be a problem... | |
| Anybody heard of GZ Vinyl? Slaw, man,There is NO SUCH THING as quality vinyl.I take more than adequate preparation and care before playing any of my LPs -and -guess what?"TIC" "POP" "Fizzle", "FART" (O.K., maybe the fart was me).Point is, if you're pining for a blissful pla... | |
| Anybody heard of GZ Vinyl? Are you sure it isn't "Chee-Z" vinyl? | |
| Is it the speakers? I've said it before and I'll say it again...The main thing our systems should do is tell us how well the recording engineer laid down the track. | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers I think the planar route is the way to go.I'll have to wait for Martin-Logan to vapor depositdiamond onto their panels so they can play at higher SPLswithout breaking up.Peace | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers Thanks guys for trying to teach an old dog new tricks.I'm looking for a way to get a more life-like listening experience.You're trying to tell me why I can't have it. | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers Hey! Tannoy! You've only been making speakers since 1926 so take some more lessons because somebody on this web-site thinks you and I are "confused".Stop making your $55,000 Kingdom Royal until you get straightened out and start using 5" midrange ... | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers The largest cone midrange I can find is in the Tannoy "Kingdome Royal" speaker.It uses a "12in Dual ConcentricTM drive unit" with a tweeter in its center.Now we're talking (where did I put that Tool CD?"! | |
| "Holographic" presentation Mono amps may not make a night-and-day difference.Much of the voodoo that we-do (vibration control, room treatment, power conditioning) doesn't fix everything.Taken together, however, results in substantial improvement. | |
| BAT Service Purchased my first VK-300SE used and it arrived hissing like a can of spray paint.Seller called BAT who said to forward to them for repair on former owner's warranty!I'm now enjoying my second VK-300SE and planning to purchase some NOS 6H30 driver... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Just saw Alison Krauss perform "Dimming of the Day" onthe "Transatlantic Sessions 5" DVD.This old (1975) Richard Thompson song brought tears to me eyes. | |
| Size of Midrange Drivers Ptss: So you're saying that most of everything emanating from a symphony orchestra can be reproduced by a five inch driver?I think we're just brain-locked into the current paradigm and are waiting for our "Einstein" to show us the way to the next ... | |
| Rega DAC vs Micromega MyDAC I purchased a Rega DAC a few months ago and have nothing but praise.A former Apollo owner, I missed the musical "Rega sound".If you're looking for balanced, straightforward, distortion free (and musical),you can't go wrong. | |
| How big a change would this upgrade make? Wow! That would be an awesome system!The reviewer of the ARC 75 (TAS? Stereophile?) claimedthis amp is unstoppable (seemingly unlimited power).I'd be sure to audition with your speakers first.Then try with Revel 208's or Bryston Model T.Don't be a... | |
| very close field speakers I would:1. Cut holes in the eggshell and attach some KEF LS50 Reference Monitors.2. Mount the chair on top of a velodyne 18 inch subwoofer.3. Have a couple of brews and crank-up Grand Funk's first album.But that's just me... |
