| Whats playing on your system today? Rory Gallagher "Against the Grain". This is a good one, Nutty. Strong songs and good sonics on the CD version I picked up used. "Buddah Records original masters" if you are interested. | |
| Experimenting with reversing polarity to speakers Thanks for the input frogman (and encouragement). I have definitely grown in confidence about my "aural judgement" over the last decade. I’m not doubting what I hear relative to the benefit of a polarity reversal on the DAC chain. BUT using the CD... | |
| What's up with AudiogoN? Works fine for me too. Also, I know there are complaints from some users about it being "non-intuitive". From my perspective, it's much easier to navigate and search on than a certain asylum or circle. | |
| Turn table for my kid??? There’s a Technics SL1200 on the Audio Asylum trader for $500. | |
| Experimenting with reversing polarity to speakers kalali - Thanks for that. atmasphere - since I thought I was hearing a benefit across multiple recordings, I'm thinking it is something system related (in the streamer/DAC chain). Listening to the CDP only today, less certain reversing polarity ... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Hey nutty - a little behind checking out posts to this thread. Glad you are checking out Cuby. Old but good. From a time before MTV ruined things. Back at you with some Alice Cooper. Never a huge fan but "Killer" holds my interest...sort of prog i... | |
| Experimenting with reversing polarity to speakers Thanks, kalali. Don't wish to offend but would you mind citing the source of that info about the Ref. 50? I've not been too concerned trying to understand the cause of the benefit in any case, but again, thanks | |
| Experimenting with reversing polarity to speakers Lowrider - Thanks for the comments. Did not know about the Gallo recommendation. Your description of the effects of reversing polarity at both speakers is consistent with what I experienced. It is one of the more significantly beneficial "tweaks" ... | |
| Experimenting with reversing polarity to speakers jc - easy enough to take the subs out of the picture via their on/off switch and evaluate polarity changes on the Forests only.stereo5 - Yes indeed. I am using a tube preamp (Opera Consonance Ref. 50) as part of the current configuration. Is polar... | |
| Experimenting with reversing polarity to speakers jc4659 - Change in bass wasn't something that jumped out at me but now that you mention it, I do think bass has benefited as part of the overall improvement to SQ. Like everything else I think it's a little more "in focus"...so improved definitio... | |
| Experimenting with reversing polarity to speakers Hello Spencer. A Happy New Year to you. The intentional "out of phase" drivers was a factor in that 2010 A'gon thread that I'd linked to. The OP's speakers were designed that way. Dunno if the Forests (2 ways) are...sort of suspect not. But wi... | |
| Schiit taking orders (as of Dec 23) on Freya preamp Hoping you find that box, Michael. After you get some time with the Freya please post your impressions. | |
| Consonance Reference 2.2 Auricap Mod Talk to Steve Monte at Quest for Sound in Bensalem PA. He sells the Opera Consonance gear. He did a cap upgrade for my Consonance Cyber 800 mono-blocks and I've been using a Consonance Ref. 50 that came stock with Auricaps. I expect he will kno... | |
| Dielectric grease on connection ends Hey Eddy - Try Parts Express. See link here for a range of Deoxit products including Gold in bottle with brush and spray can. A bit cheaper than $200 per ounce, it would seem.http://www.parts-express.com/Search.aspx?keyword=deoxit&sitesearch... | |
| Jazz for aficionados O - I too read Watership Down many years ago...probably on the order of 30. Recollection of details a little vague. I haven't seen the movie you linked to. No idea how faithful it is to the novel (though I have my doubts). Watership Down is no... |
