| SPEAKER HUM I would try another preamp, if you can get your hands on 1. Maybe borrow one from a friend. Sounds like there are several issues with the preamp that are being amplified in your circuit. Your comment that you have been tormented by speaker hum "in... | |
| Buying Synergistic Research ICs so difficult Adhaney-One thing you should notice in your comparison is that there will be a number of subtle audio cues that the VD cables don't reveal due to their "sizzle" that you will be able to hear with the SR cables. It sounds like this is already start... | |
| Buying Synergistic Research ICs so difficult I agree - you have to call them to get anything accomplished. I went from an all VD system (Genesis) to an all SR system and it was one of my better audio moves. If you continue to get ignored by Cable Company, you can always call Elliott at SR an... | |
| speakers that rock Used Legacy Focus 20/20s will do what you want if you can find them. | |
| APL Denon 3910 Question S-My suggestion is to just demo a cable from the cable company to avoid making a "purchase" if the cost of the cable is high.I also have a modded APL Denon with video intact and altho I never tried what you are trying, my educated guess would be t... | |
| Own a Sunfire Signature Cinema Grand???? When I had this amp powering my front speakers, there was a considerable difference between the 2 sources and I was able to bi-wire successfully. It sounded better that way than either current or voltage alone. | |
| Founder of Valve Amplification Co. VAC passes... Kevin's dad was a great guy and I know he will be missed. My condolences to the Hayes family. It is a great tribute to his dad that Kevin is the way he is. I consider Kevin a friend and greatly appreciate our conversations on audio, cars, politics... | |
| Purist Audio vs. Synergistic Research ICs No "hash", just well-balanced musical presentation. | |
| Purist Audio vs. Synergistic Research ICs I listened to Venustas in my system before purchasing Synergistic. To my ears, in my system, the Purist gives a more "middle of the hall" presentation, whereas the SR line yields more of a 1st or 2nd row presentation. I didn't find the Purist nois... | |
| DAC with the best midrange ever..... I'm using a 32-bit DAC created out of a Denon 3910 by Alex Peychev that includes a Class A tube output stage, among other refinements. The sound is pretty amazing - no problems after 6 months. He is working on several commercially viable DACs usin... | |
| Best frieght company to ship Speakers Best I've found is Pilot Air. A number of speaker companies use them and they are also happy to deal with consumers. They pretty much palletize everything automatically and have been a pleasure to deal with on 3 different occasions, with no issues... | |
| How much does your system retail for? Looking back, I have pretty much replaced EVERYTHING since my last post to this thread 3 1/2 years ago, when I thought I had already spent WAY too much money. I have since sold most of the old gear (thank you Audiogon). Fortunately during this tim... | |
| What to put under my VAC AMP/ PREAMP?? I now have Finite Elemente Cerapucs under both my VAC Phi 2.0 preamp and CD source(3 each). Sound got noticeably better - details coming through more clearly and bass got a little cleaner and tighter. I did this a number of months ago and just rea... | |
| esoteric x-01, ux-1 etc reliable? Chungted - I asked Esoteric that exact question - the response I got is that it would be too expensive to do this on a large enough scale to be profitable, according to the bosses, both for the customer and for Esoteric. There also other complicat... | |
| esoteric x-01, ux-1 etc reliable? I have a UX-1 upgraded to a UX-1pi by Esoteric - great to work with and no transport problems whatsoever. The Esoteric support has been great and their transports are pretty solid and bulletproof, which is why so many other manufacturers covet and... |
