| Any comfortable Quality headphones... I have to agree with the Senn 600 or 580 recommendation. In the past I tried various brands and models and was never able to listen to them for more than 30 minutes or so. All were hot and uncomfortable. But even worse was the sound. On a chance I... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Alot of good tweaks and advice have already been mentioned. So I'll just keep mine short. Try the Mapleshade vibration control devices ( www.mapleshaderecords.com ). They sell brass cones and weights and Iso-Blocks ( cork/rubber feet ). I've found... | |
| What is the cause of my sibilance problem? Update:Bob_Bundus mentioned the sibilance issue might be related to power. So, I contacted PS Audio and who should respond but Paul McGowan himself. He was honest and showed genuine interest in the problem. Unfortunately, he didn't think it was re... | |
| B W vs. Paradigm When I went searching for loudspeakers I auditioned several B&W and Paradigm loudspeakers; I also auditioned a few other brands. My requirements where, and still are, 70% music and 30% movies. While I found that the Paradigm Monitor line was c... | |
| What is the cause of my sibilance problem? Sol322 thanks for the encouragement. I have indeed tried different interconnects and powercords. I spoke with Steven at The Cable Company and I have one or two more things to try before going back to interconnects. Steve was, in fact, the person w... | |
| What is the cause of my sibilance problem? Update:I disconnected the Aiwa from the MSB Link III and connected my Sony DVD player to it. After trying both coax and optical connections the problem wasn't solved. I am, however, better able to characterize it. The sibilance is most noticeable ... | |
| Conduct on Audiogon I have been visiting this site for around a year. During that time I have generally agreed with the decisions made by the Audiogon staff - with a few exceptions. However, their response to this thread concerns me. While I understand that Audiogon ... | |
| What is the cause of my sibilance problem? Sorry about the silence. I haven't had much opportunity of late to try some of the suggestions posted. My deadline at work is the end of week - hopefully I can take off this weekend.One thing I did try was to change the "mode" from direct stereo t... | |
| What is the cause of my sibilance problem? Sol322 - The cones I use on the transport are the Mapleshade Triplepoints and on the DAC and preamp I use Mapleshade Surefoot cones. The Triplepoints have three small points instead of a flat surface where the components comes in contact with it. ... | |
| What is the cause of my sibilance problem? Onhwy61 - it is certainly possible that it is the source material. I don't have that many CDs with female vocals, but the problem occurs on all of the them. | |
| What is the cause of my sibilance problem? I appreciate all of your responses and apologize for not posting earlier - my ISP was down for two days.When I originally auditioned the Super Silver interconnects I liked everything I heard except for the top-end. At the time I owned a Roksan Cas... | |
| Best CD player for headphone setup I also am putting together a headphone system. I have the headphones but nothing else so far. With a budget of around $1000 you might consider the setup I have in my main system. For about $500 you can get the MSB Link DAC III with the 24/96 upsam... | |
| Cable suggestions Bravo Sugerbrie, bravo. I guess I didn't look hard enough :) | |
| Cable suggestions The only cable I can think of in that price range, other than Monster Cable, is the AudioQuest Sidewinder for $24.95 a 0.5 m. By increasing your price range to $100 you greatly expand the options available. You could try Home Grown Audio Super Sil... | |
| Dallas Audio Club I live in Fort Worth and would certainly be interested in Audio clubs in any of the two cities. |
