| Ham Radio Interference from next door neighboor I think a small amount of plastic explosive at the base of said antenna should more than correct the situation. Bet he doesn't come asking questions either.Or you could just go talk to him, gear junkie to gear junkie. | |
| Rotel 5 channel amp causes hum through speakers Make sure it isn't happening with you TV on only. I find the same thing with my Parasound amp. TV on, hum, TV off, no hum. Some after market PC's such as PS Audio's nicer ones have a removable ground pin. Also, Ernie M (Subaruguru) sells a PC that... | |
| Vinyl or wait for the new stuff?? I have what I consider to be a very good digital front end. Sony DVP-NC555ES into a Genesis Digital Lens into a Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista 21 Tube DAC. I just bought my first TT last week. A Music Hall MMF-5. I have to admit, even with a cheapie a... | |
| Triangle vs Paradigm vs JMLab I prefer the JMLabs Cobalts to the Paradigms. I would also suggest you audition a pair of Thiel CS-1.6's if possible. They trounce all of them in my opinion. Approximately 2k new. Otherwise the JM's if you have to pick among the 3. | |
| Preamp or Processor??? VTL, Audible Illusions preamps have home theater bypass....not sure if all models do however. There have to be others. You can also just mark a point on the volume control that is on the low side of moderate (vague I know) and then calibrate the s... | |
| Preamp or Processor??? I would sink the majority into a 2 channel preamp. Then sink the rest into a less expensive surround processor. I have a Rotel RSX-1055 integrated 5 channel driving my system. I recently borrowed a Sim Audio Moon P-5 preamp. The difference was stu... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I have been reading this thread off and on for the last several months. I have to admit I am very interested and indeed considering one of Mick's pre's. I was curious if anyone has an opinion whether the Cortese is that much better (for the money)... | |
| Looking for excellent DAC without a preamp section I love my Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista Tube DAC. It outputs 24/192 or 20/96 with a switch on the back of the unit. It also has a digital passthrough and accepts SPIDIF and Toslink inputs. Great sound IMHO although I have not compared it to any other... | |
| Audio Room Size ??? Why the teleposts? Can't you use double TGI's to cover the span without the need for the bracing? I am not engineering the home and don't know the load bearing issues but there is always a material solution to these things. If it adds a bit more c... | |
| Does "Non Compensated" Reviewing Still Exist? As far as reviewing goes I wish the audio mags took the same tack as my two favorite computer mags. PC Gamer and Maximum PC (the same company produces both) are very informative in the review process. They have no problem rating games poorly (Term... | |
| Who has used a Genesis Digital Lens? I currently use a Lens. I have it inline between my Sony DVP-555ES and my Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista DAC. I previously had the lens between a cheapie Sony DVD player and my Rotel receiver (acting as DAC). That old combo, before the Lens, made your... | |
| Any advice on car audio? Philjolet, the only single driver units I am aware of have those paper whizzer cones in them. Typically they are on the low end, price wise and I am sure they aren't intended as anything but a cheap, full range speaker with limited ability. They d... | |
| Question about connecting both HT and Stereo Look at VTL preamps, Audible Illusions L2 Linestage, BAT just to name a few. | |
| Please help, obsessive audiophile question Swap the speaker cables left to right and keep the speakers the same position. I know it aint perfect but it should answer the question of whether or not it is downstream from the speakers or "at" the speakers. If this doesn't change anything then... | |
| Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista 300 with Thiel CS3.6? I bought my Thiel CS2.4's from a dealer that also sells MF gear. As a matter of fact I demoed the Thiels with a MF setup. It sounded great, very musical and not at all harsh. I am curious why Bryston is no longer on your agenda as I have heard goo... |
