| What are we listening for during break in? Charlie, your over analzing audiophiles you dont even know. Sorry, I am not hearing things and wire sounds different after break in. I have heard this on dozens of occasions. No, I am sane and well aware of things that look, taste, feel and smell ... | |
| What are we listening for during break in? Timrhu said it all. If you take the time and it is of interest to you one will conclude that cables do change with burn in. If it seems like a waste of time and you dont care, then that is fine and I completely understand why one thinks cable burn... | |
| Review: Mcalister Audio PP150S Tube amp I would call Pete of Mcalister as he makes many amps and custom amps. I am sure he has the perfect amp for your SET system. His amps have great bottom end and have SET like transparency. The PP150 is much more powerful then you need, but would sou... | |
| What are we listening for during break in? Gregadd, no it's not the listener. We are talking about objective not subjective changes that are easily heard. A/B two wires - one new and your current IC that you are familiar with. At first the new wire is not as deep in the bass as your curren... | |
| What are we listening for during break in? Wow, how can any audiophile who has gone through much wire say it needs no break in. Come on folks this is audio 101, audio grade school if you will. Of coarse they do. Some more than others. They all react differently. My current set sounded clos... | |
| Cable selection for SET. Paul Speltz cables work great with SET. Best I have heard with SET. $10 per foot and hard to beat. Killer with my Wright 2a3 amp and Cain & Cain double horns.Bill | |
| NuForce Reference 8 vs. 9 Plato, I have owned the SE160's and now the SE250's. The 250's have much better bass then the 160's. I love the 250's and these Nuforce amps just seem interesting. I think system matching and personal taste will most likely determine which amp is ... | |
| NuForce Reference 8 vs. 9 Plato, I see you have owned the Monarchy SE160's. I own the SE250 and wonder how these Newforce amps sound compared to Monarchy. My concern is the Newforce amps may lack the body, texture and lushness on the Monarchy amps. Are these Nuforce amps o... | |
| Review: Mcalister Audio PP150S Tube amp Nathanu, very interesting question. I no longer have the same associated gear for a true comparison. I do have a general sense however. The Thor amps are $9,500 as you know. I find the Mcalister to be more see through transparent with more air and... | |
| Any GREAT "sleeper" amps? Read my review of the Mcallister PP150. Wont find a better amp for $1000 or so. Big time sleeper.Bill | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? Matrix, all good points.My player is also a top end DVD, DVDa multi-channel player used as part of a combined 2 channel and HT system. Muse Thalia. I need it for this use and the computer based system wont help in these areas. I dont want to buy a... | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? One other question. Can't we send our current high end players with great DAC's in for moding by the builders? They can simply install a S/PDIF input. Now I can use my player as the DAC for a computer based front end or use the transport in my pla... | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? Great thread! I am very close to going down this road. One FM question. I understand you can feed FM off your computer just like CD's. Seems there are FM streams which can be used. Is the sound quality as good as everything I am reading about here... | |
| Good speaker cable for Europas. Get the Speltz | |
| marsh a200s Warnerwh comments may be correct, but you can always get this amp serviced by any good shop. I own the a400s and the amp is simply world class. I paid under $1000 used and would put this amp up against any SS amp at any price. Bass is very deep, p... |
