| Best AES/EBU I have a Levinson front end, but preferred the Cardas AES/EBU to Madrigal's own digital cable. | |
| Speaker Cable Lengths - W/ Monos Hi Eldon; your input is certainly useful for Mapleshade cables. BUT, if you want to try out other shorter spkr cables, at some point you've got to "pay the price". I have used 14 ft. Syn. Res. cables for years, but I'm going to bi-amps, and could ... | |
| Synergistic Research IC Active Shielding Hi Bob; Thanks for the detailed report on the Syn. Res. MCC, I've been curious about it for a long time. I only have two pairs of shielded ICs, so I probably won't go to the MCC, but the Mini power supplies for shields certainly seem to be worth i... | |
| Men/Women/Audiophiles .......as usual, we don't know which the "on" button is??? Cheers. Craig | |
| How to get rid of transformer hum? Hi Tommy; I'm sorry I can't help you, but you've maybe helped me. I have a pair of McCormack DNA-2DX amps that hum at various levels. I've talked to Steve McCormack about this at length, and he says that most likely there is DC leakage into my AC ... | |
| new amp vs old amp Hi Ampzilla; Sean has a good list of possibilities above. One I would add is becoming very, very familiar with a particulat recording with one of the amps. I mean get so familiar that you are almost sick of it-- then put in the other amp and see w... | |
| Synergistic Research IC Active Shielding Ikarus; thanks for confirming that I wasn't having a "placebo moment". Anyone else out there with experience with either Syn. Res. Active Shield Box or these new "Mini" shield devices. Thanks. Craig. | |
| Trelja in New York Hi Joe; Thanks to you and others for reports on the NY show. It's interesting to note how many exhibits you thought were somewhere between poor and not very good. We wouldn't have heard that kind of candidness from Reps. of the big magazines. Do y... | |
| Synergistic Research IC Active Shielding ........I should note that I've only used the Mini's a couple of days, and so don't know if there is a "break-in" factor. I will report back if anything significantly different happens. Craig | |
| How much do you listen? 25 to 30 hours per week. Cheers. Craig | |
| SS versus Tubes Hi Redkiwi; nicely stated post. Last fall I purchased a well known 110 wpc tube amp ($5K list) and listened with it in my system for nearly a month. This amp had very nice mid-range and treble, but no more than acceptable bass. The amp was the sam... | |
| Speaker Cable Lengths - W/ Monos Audioman; I'm facing the same decision, and I've decided to keep my long speaker cables, then buy an 8 ft. pair of the same brand cables-- used, eg from Audiogon, and have them cut and terminated to less than 3 ft. for use in bi-amping. Good Luck.... | |
| October Audio Magazine Issue Hi hwy61; It's not as comprehensive as Audio Mags's was, but Sound and Vision produced a Buyers Guide last year that has a surprising amount of high end info. It came out in the fall of 2000 and was called "2001 Buyers Guide". It is not a tabular ... | |
| Various CD Formats What brand and model CD player do you have? A "regular" CD player will play regular CDs, and gold CDs and XRCDs are just variants of regular CDs, so you can play them too. You can also play HDCDs, but unless your CD player is capable of decoding t... | |
| I NEED HEADPHONES....NOW Jsbail; I own both the Senn. 580s and the 600s. They have a similar sonic signature, both are smooth, relaxed and comfortable for long term listening. The 600s are more detailed than the 580s, and in fact I believe they are just a "tweaked" versio... |
