| Why Does CD Sound So Good? It is so much easier to scroll a large collection when it is on a server and you have ability to search composer, performer, composition, musical genre (choral music, chamber, 20th century, whatever classification you set up). It’s about the sou... | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 Why do you continue your bashing of McIntosh in this thread when McIntosh wasn’t even mentioned? It was By D2r something or other, and all his posts were deleted. | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? George,Linn also makes some great preamps. I believe you like the coloration/distortion, it brings, but it impossible for it to make (midrange, depth and texture, resolution) itself Pass Labs as well they all need to make money for the company, a... | |
| Cambridge Audio CXC Series 2 Is this a quirk of the CXC V1 or is this just my unit? When using the remote and say track #4 is playing, when I push the previous track button track #3 starts. Most players would restart at #4. It’s not a quirk, depends on the laser/mech and it'... | |
| Acme silver fuses mapman I’d be willing to bet 50% of the wires and circuits in Geoffkait’s souped up Sony Walkman are running in the wrong direction. Nah says he combats that with his $99 bag Brilliant Pebbles, he sticks them on his head. You don’t think you’ve wi... | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 What do you think of the AHB2 with the NS5000?From what I heard of the NS-5000, I'd go for an A/B solid state that has quite a bit of "high biased into Class-A" to keep those highs from becoming as Sound stage said also "Yamahas took on an ever-... | |
| Acme silver fuses I checked the A/C line coming into my house and it is wired in the wrong direction what do I do now??? 👍 excellent!!Lets see the voodooist wriggle out of that one.Cheers George | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 And you, George, why are you always bashing Mac? Because what Mr D said is correct, and is a measurable fact. And he did say "his friend loves it". | |
| Acme silver fuses You need to check up on that, as many amps use rail fuses, which are dc sunshine. And the reason I say AC fuses, is because you think they are directional, even though the mains is Alternating Current changing it's direction 60 x a second sunshine | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 I need to ask a question. Since when, does Mcintosh have lightning fast dynamics, and a high damping factor ? None that I have heard, and I sold, and installed them, for years. +1Those characteristics indeed do not apply to Mac'sCheers George | |
| Acme silver fuses Almost a 12 year gap between posts. That may be a record! Yet another Voodoo ac mains fuse thread, that need to be shifted to "Misc Audio" forum, or the rubbish bin if there’s one. | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? You really need a good preamp to have incredible midrange, depth and texture, resolution, etc. Sorry but it must be coloration’s your hearing, and if you like that that’s fine it suits your system, some like to color the sound of their source if ... | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 This is the sound that I’m referring to, from a "Sound Stage" review. When I say use an amp that is higher in Class-A bias than the Brystons, like the Gryphons or XA Pass Labs." With initial pairing to Halcro dM68 monos in my usual review system, ... | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 I am surprised that you would think a warmish amp is need with the NS5000. I'm say this in comparison to what he uses now, dual bryston 4bsst - which are a very cool sounding amp/s. The Gyrphons or XA Pass Labs will give just as controlled and... | |
| Amp and Preamp recommendations for Yamaha NS5000 I've heard those and they want a warmish but very controlled amp/s, suggest you look at, if you have the funds the Gryphon Diablo 120 or better 300. https://gryphon-audio.dk/shop/integrated-amplifiers/gryphon-diablo-300-integrated-amplifier/ h... |
