| PSB Tower Speakers - Amp Matching psb/ nad is a logical conclusion since they are part of the same parent company. My advice is try to listen to the pairing before committing to purchase if at all possible. | |
| When I turn it up, it turns down I would email the NAD North American Distributor. Send a very detailed description of everything involved with what is happening when the M3 does this. Ask NAD if they have any feedback/suggestions. If you ultimately need to have the M3 serviced t... | |
| The Jolida JD100A CD player by today's standards? I have an Underwood HiFi modded Level One JD100A and it has always sounded like music to me. I cannot say it is overly warm. Tubed CD players do not necessarily equal warm sound. The player is definitely not cold, sterile or analytical which are a... | |
| Zu OMEN - hmm I hear what you're saying Mapman. But this fellow has held on for a good long run with his speakers and has gone through a roller-coaster of performance (SQ), amp changes, and tweaking, to no avail. | |
| Zu OMEN - hmm Chozdog, if it takes so much in the way of fine tuned tweaking and fine adjustments to get them to sound pleasing, plus the precise amplifier, then it sounds like they're just too finicky. | |
| Zu OMEN - hmm Though I advised you to move on, I do believe in synergy. Long ago before audiophilia was my lifestyle, I owned and sold a pair of speakers called Infinity to a friend. I was disappointed in them though I liked them at the dealer. I came by my fri... | |
| Returned to Albums/ Vinyl after 30 years Thanks, ordered an album already today from them. | |
| Zu OMEN - hmm Chozdog I feel for you. I've never owned any Zu speakers but have had other brands that proved disappointing though others praised the performance. It's difficult to change speakers compared to other pieces, but it's time for you. Once you have go... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Remember when CD spinners were a bust? It was not that long ago. They have gotten a LOT better just over the last 5 years. Steve N.Empirical AudioAudioengrName some, always curious about the better sounding cd players. | |

| critics dynaudio speakers I like your use of the word "team" for system. I may use that myself sometimes. If your "team" makes you smile, that is all that matters. Trust your ears and not the ears of those who visit your listening room and criticize your sound.Your opinion... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Cary SLP05. Spent big dollars (for me) to purchase it used ($4k) and I never could get it to sound up to its reputation even after rolling tubes. In fairness, the unit's performance may have been a simple case of poor system synergy in my setup.Al... | |
| Most overrated audio manufacturers? Chayro, wouldn't it be great to be there when the reviewers were listening to the X-05 piece and hear what they were hearing? Maybe they have no ability to discern SQ? Or, is lack of synergy and system dependency the overriding factor in the poor ... | |
| Is computer audio a bust? Agear, many of the posts in this thread clearly demonstrate the convoluted nature of computer audio, the lack of consensus on best practices, and some of the reasons computer audiophiles will remain a niche group within this audiophile niche group. | |
| Most overrated audio manufacturers? Plasmatech your more focused question would make for an excellent thread! |
