| Something For The Fuse Guys ... Hi Frank, I'm glad to hear that the new Orange fuse sounds better than a broken in Blue fuse immediately. The Blue fuse sounded better than a broken in Black fuse immediately. The Black fuse sounded like drek from hours 15 to 72 and I hated kee... | |
| Why does my old CD player sound so much better than my new streamer? My direct disc 78s didn't have tape in the way. They can have superb musicality despite their sonic shortcomings. However, CD remasterings can improve the sound with reequalization, speed control (for acoustics) and noise reduction that enhances... | |
| Why does my old CD player sound so much better than my new streamer? Funny, I don't keep buying equipment until I die. I've upgraded my cabling and tweaks but that's it for 13 years. I plan to upgrade my speakers in the future and possibly my DAC. Listening to Patricia Barber recordings is not my choice for jud... | |
| Why does my old CD player sound so much better than my new streamer? My experiences in digital do not include streaming or downloads. My CD rips are to CDs via the Alesis Masterlink. I still prefer the original DAT recordings from the 90s played back through my all tube/analog audio system. I can’t get the bass and... | |
| Amps I Like I compared multiple pre-amps at a store set up with identical equipment. The SP-10 (unknown which of the 7 versions) was the biggest (wide and deep soundstage), most detailed and large sounding. The SP-8 was about 60-70% of that sound. The top ... | |
| Amps I Like My favorite ARC equipment was the SP10 preamp and the Classic 60 amps (the latter I owned). They are sweet sounding, colored for today's sound but soooo musical sounding. Then came the sterile sounding equipment for about 20 years. I still pref... | |
| Why does my old CD player sound so much better than my new streamer? I hope that the Muse Erato II is vastly superior to an earlier CD player Muse built, the Signature 9. I purchased that junk for $2300 back in the 90s. It cut off the beginning and ending of a note, round, bloated sound. Yuk! My old Kyocera 310... | |
| Speaker Imaging - Do you hear a line, or do you hear an arc?? I have a very expensive customized listening room so acoustics are not an issue (it’s always been the speaker which limited my imaging/soundstage equipmentwise). I note that the 50’s/60’s small jazz recordings were commonly left, right track recor... | |
| Speaker Imaging - Do you hear a line, or do you hear an arc?? don_c55 That is one of the three reasons I stopped using stats after more than 20+ years. My wife couldn't enjoy (or me) the sound to the sides. I purchased big dynamic speakers instead. The Von Schweikert Ultra 9 and 11 speakers are so specia... | |
| Worth pursuing analog sound from digital? I agree that since 1995, compression is one of the three greatest causes of bad/poor quality recorded music. However, in the 1970s-1980s, pop/rock was often compressed on the finished product. I have plenty of examples where the Pink Island Britis... | |
| Worth pursuing analog sound from digital? mr_m1 Exactly true. Engineering for car speakers, not audiophiles (sometimes known as music lovers). | |
| Worth pursuing analog sound from digital? geoffkait wrote " Sorry, not buyin’ it. Digital is a pale facsimile of what it should be. I don’t even have to compare it to analog. Unless you’re extremely motivated and pugnacious you simply can’t extract all of the data on the CD. No way, Jose... | |
| Worth pursuing analog sound from digital? I’ll chime in. The best early CD player which sounded analog-like was a Kyocera 410 from 1984. After that, it took me until 2006 to achieve analog-like sound (sometimes the CD is better, sometimes the LP) and that was the first version of the EAR ... | |
| Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl I've read through most of the posts. The extremists either hate or love digital or vinyl (or R2R). I have heard many systems where the sound detracts from the recording/performance. This is the problem. I have higher end electronics which prov... | |
| Ears hurt when listening after changing speakers Oops! I meant that I replaced the ML Monolith IIIs with Legacy Focus speakers which do not sound good in too small a room. |
