| Kharma CRM 3.2F Thanks adsal! I'll try that. | |
| Kharma CRM 3.2F Boxer, which Kharma's did you buy? The 3.2's? I just purchased a pair of Ceramique 1's and not sure which speaker cables to eventually go with. You mentioned Purist Audio? Have you compared them to Cardas Golden Reference?Thanks!JordanP.S. Nice us... | |
| VTL Transformer Up-Grades, Worth It? Zaikesman, agreed that they are likely diverging in design as time goes on. That said, I also find they have a familiar (family?) sound. Have you listened to the Ref250 and the MB-450? I'd be interested in what you thought of the two amps as I was... | |
| VTL Transformer Up-Grades, Worth It? I had the newer/better output and power transformers installed on my Manley Ref250 monoblocks (2years ago) and also had them install the MIT Multicap coupling capacitors. It was a VERY VERY significant upgrade. I fully enjoyed the amps prior to th... | |
| ARC LS 25MKl vs LS 25MKll....????? Anyone know how significant the improvement from LS25 MkII to the Ref 1 or Ref 2? I'm considering all three of these linestages. I previously owned an LS15 with NOS Tungsram tubes. It was a good value linestage, but I'd like to take it a step or t... | |
| Up and Over sampling EXACTLY the same thing This is interesting. Despite Wadia's previous efforts at dispelling the marketing hype of "upsampling/oversampling", they now have embraced it. (See quoted text below)Or have they? They use the words "upsampling" in describing their process, but t... | |
| Up and Over sampling EXACTLY the same thing Martian, while I agree that the term "upsampling" is generally used in conjunction with 96kHz and 192kHz, both non-integer multiples of 44.1, I disagree that there is any fundamental difference from oversampling. I do believe that 96kHz and 192kHz... | |
| Up and Over sampling EXACTLY the same thing Martian,If you like how the Belcanto sounds, what's the problem? The sound is the most important part, at least for me. Upsampling and oversampling are indeed the same thing. Both are sample rate converters. Both increase the number of samples by ... | |
| Up and Over sampling EXACTLY the same thing Hellosimplymusic, I agree that the misconceptions regarding up/oversampling have reached critical mass and that the marketing hype will likely continue.I wouldn't say I understand the technology well. I am not an EE specializing in digital design,... | |
| Up and Over sampling EXACTLY the same thing I agree, Phild... we need to evaluate equipment on how it sounds and not (for the most part) on the technology used to get there. As far as your new DAC, digital filters have no doubt gotten better (and I believe will continue to get better), but ... | |
| Can anyone describe the sound of the Kharma... Jtinn,Won't be able to afford the Tenors unless someone is willing to sell for $7000 in mint condition. Any takers? LOLYou mentioned Joule Electra and I was wondering if you mean the OTL's (eg VZN-100 mono's) or the transformer coupled Stargate Mo... | |
| Proac Yew Owners 4yanx,I used pumice&oil and rottenstone&oil to finish a highly figured walnut top on a shaker table I made for my sister. It was positively stunning and still is today more than 6 years later. Not sure if walnut was appropriate for this te... | |
| Can anyone describe the sound of the Kharma... Also, aside from the Cary 805C, what other tube amps will mate well with the Kharma, or for that matter, the Amati's and Proacs? I probably cannot afford the Tenor's, especially after buying a speaker in this price range, but I am expecting to pay... | |
| Can anyone describe the sound of the Kharma... From what I'm hearing from you guys, it sounds like the Ceramiques are similar in sound to the Avalon Eclipse? The midrange of the Eclipse was very addictive.It also seems as if the the Kharma's are close competitors of the other 3 speakers I'm co... | |
| Can anyone describe the sound of the Kharma... Thanks Jtinn. Can you be more specific on the sound of the Ceramiques 1.0's? I'm also considering the SF Amati Homage, Proac Response 4's, and Proac Response 3.8's. Anybody have insight on the above speakers? BTW Jtinn, I read your system profile ... |
