| Review: Magnepan 3.6R Speaker Hey Billm (or anyone else that uses the 3.6's), where did you buy the Infinity Audio Jumpers? I haven't been able to find any place that sells them via google. I have found some Cardas Golden jumpers made specifically for the Maggies...have you co... | |
| Upsampling. Truth vs Marketing Sean, in fact, Jeff Kalt of Resolution Audio was marketing and using "upsampling" in his players at the time, so yes I do think some manufacturers will be honest when asked directly.But more to the point, what do you think is so magical about 96kH... | |
| Upsampling. Truth vs Marketing Mathematically, there are no differences between upsampling and oversampling. Upsampling is basically a marketing term and it is NOT coincidental that it was conjured up during the redbook lull prior to DVD-A format agreements. Really, what is so ... | |
| Kharma Ceramique 1.1 or Verity Parsifal Encore? "The mids don't have body, ambiance, and emotion!!" You've got to be kidding??!! I own the Ceramique 1.0' and this is exactly what the Kharma's do so well. I haven't heard the Parsifal's, but please do not insult our intelligence with statements l... | |
| Purist Audio Colossus speaker cables... wow Thank you again Albert! I'll e-mail you for your thoughts.Elgordo, the answer is "a", as I have two boxers. One is from American show lines and the other is the product of two working bloodline German boxers (father is SchIII, FH2, is a police ser... | |
| Purist Audio Colossus speaker cables... wow TWL, I've heard that the Venustas are a departure from the "family" sound that PAD has had? Supposedly, the Venustas are more "wide-band", but do not possess the same degree of tonal density (lushness?). I have to admit that I am a sucker for lush... | |
| Kharma Ceramique with Solid State Amp? Henry, most say that Kharma's sound best with tubes; however, I have come to the conclusion that the Kharma's sound good with just about anything.Let me explain: My previous speakers (Avalon Eclipse) took on a completely new and wonderful dimensio... | |
| VTL 750 Reference multicap upgrade to infinicaps ? Mejames, don't think the Inficaps are an "upgrade" to the multi-caps? When upgrading the caps in my former Manley Ref250's, the price of the upgrade to Infinicaps vs. multicaps was the same. I chose the multicaps over the Infinicaps because I was ... | |
| AA Capitole users: how many run balanced xlr ? Thanks guys! I think I will be running slightly longer length IC's so balanced is preferrable no matter. Actually surprised how good the cheap (and temporary) Kimber PBJ actually sounds in my setup. | |
| AA Capitole users: how many run balanced xlr ? Dvavc, I don't use a preamp... currently I'm running the CD Player directly to my Atma-Sphere amps via single-ended Kimber PBJ. I am trying to decide if it makes sense to go with balanced. The Atma-Spheres are fully balanced, but, unless the CD Pl... | |
| AA Capitole users: how many run balanced xlr ? Does anyone know if the AA Capitole is fully balanced? I'm trying to decide whether I should go balanced or single-ended from the CD Player to the amp.Thanks!Jordan | |
| McIntosh and Autoformers. . .? Nealhood, ordered a pair of ZERO's from Paul yesterday and should get a chance to see what they do in my system by the end of the week. Very good experience dealing with Paul... very knowledgable and accomodating. I'll try to write a review on the... | |
| McIntosh and Autoformers. . .? Nealhood, very good advice... thank you. Hopefully, Paul will allow me to audition it and I definitely will report back should I be able to arrange this.How important is it to use good cable from amp to autoformer? I've pushed the finances almost ... | |
| McIntosh and Autoformers. . .? Following Zaikes question, I'm using an Atma-Sphere MA1 MkII.2 with Kharma Ceramique 1.0 speakers. These speakers are nominally rated at 8 ohms, not sure what the impedance curve looks like though. The amps seem to drive the speakers well, but I'm... | |
| Any SS class A experience to share? The Forte' model 1A might be an option if you want to keep the price way down and don't need the wattage. This is a Nelson Pass design (50w/ch pure class A). I ran this into Thiel CS1.2's when I got out of college and it worked very well. It certa... |
