How to tame the midrange???
A couple of suggestions.1) Lose the processor for two channel music. I've never heard one that competes against a dedicated tube preamp or SS preamp. A decent tubed preamp will take you to levels of enjoyment no processor can achieve.2)You are cor... 
Best DVD player for redbook CD ???
Buy a decent Dac. 
CD Player with best bass??
Hi the only reason I do not mention cd players.Is the fact Pawlowski6132 uses it as a digital transport. Getting a more expensive player to use as a transpot too me is a waste of money.The Sony is a great transport by itself.Now if you want a diff... 
CD Player with best bass??
Pawlowski6132Man you have got to hear this unit or something similar.I know now this unit uses 1 6SN7 as the input tube and two 5687s in the output.The stock model uses 3 6SN7s in all sockets. The unit weighs only about 10lbs.I had my doubts when ... 
CD Player with best bass??
Hi Joey, This Headamp/Preamp has a 600 volt high efficient transformer. Meaning it will put out 600 volts instead of what most do which is 60% of what their rated.It has a transformer twice the output of the Plitron in my amplifier LOL.Not to ment... 
CD Player with best bass??
Hi.. Have you considered changing headamps? I'm expecting a Single Power OTL Headamp/Preamp tomorrow for evaluation. The designer says this model is designed to provide better bass than the standard MPX3..which I haven't heard either. It is called... 
Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews
The only part of Stereophile I read is the measurement section.This is the best part of their reviews. This tells me more about a speaker than the magical wizardry spun by a reviewer. I'm sure there are some manufactures who do not wish to be revi... 
Most Overated Floor Standing Speaker Up to 15KPair
Hey Larry if you think that's bad check out this $30,000 speaker .The company claims a response from 25hz to 60khz. A blind man can see this speaker will never make it to 25Hz with usable output.Verity Sarastro . You can get a $500 speaker with be... 
Most Overated Floor Standing Speaker Up to 15KPair
Not here to bash the Sophia.I was going over the freq response of this speaker. I noticed by the Stereophile measurements there's a hump that starts to rise around 40Hz and continues past 200Hz. With room lift there's no telling how high the hump ... 
Big upgrade with stand alone transport???
I know this sounds like a broken record.You really should try a NON OS DAC.A NON OS DAC has a roll off at 22Khz of 3 dB.This isn't a bad thing either.All that unnecessary hash that's not needed is filtered out.It makes it much easier to concentrat... 
Big upgrade with stand alone transport???
Is there something that you feel is missing with your current front end setup?

cary slp-98L vs bat vk3i
I've auditioned only one of the Cary tubed preamps which was enough for me. Very fuzzy and slow sounding unit..it did have the stock tubes.It was a fairly current model not sure if it's the same model number as the one your referring to though. It... 
Are first order crossovers best?
You ever heard of google? Maybe you should do a google search and save us all the trouble.You ask a question and got great answers. The last time I checked this was a public forum. I think some of the links provided are a wee bit more than persona... 
Are first order crossovers best?
Yes single drivers do have a mechanical filter being the driver itself.But there's a bit more to it than that.I think Wayne Parham explains it very well here Electrical filters and Acoustic Filters.Also when it's right ..it's pretty darn good.Mart...
