| pure ipod dock I finally landed one of these and I am very impressed both with the quality of construction and design as well as sound quality. The internal DAC/output stage sounds much, much more transparent than the stock ipod. I will now start doing some A/B ... | |
| Nola Contender and Martin Logan Electro-MotionESL Jim - I agree that this site and the high end hobby is slowing. Home theater is the only thing keeping audio alive now. People dismiss the "2 channel is dead" theory but the numbers don't lie and the demographic is dying out and high end audio is ... | |
| Magnepan 1.6 active 24db slop better than stock? Sounds like a good plan Swordshield. Please report back your findings. That QR tweeter can go WAY lower than the standard passive xover, I think I went as low as 900 Hz with interesting results. | |
| Magnepan 1.6 active 24db slop better than stock? Had the 1.6 and did exactly what you are considering - biamped with 24 db slopes. This was a few years ago and I can't remember the xover frequency but I am guessing it was around 1.5k. It was much more transparent with tighter bass. I played with... | |
| Nola Contender and Martin Logan Electro-MotionESL I heard both at the recent Newport show. They are both excellent but I prefer the detail of the logans. | |
| Subwoofer recommendations for mostly music Sub technology has changed alot since the start of this thread. Best subs for the money IMHO are:HsuSunfireMartin LoganIn general, sealed subs sound smoother than ported subs. Avoid VMPS. | |
| Why no reviews of the Magnepan 3.7 in Stereophile Sadly, Stereophile is the epitome of yellow journalism. They have sought to destroy many of the finest minds/companies in audio. Google the carver challenge. The fact that Stereophile has no Magnepan or Martin Logan speakers in their recommended c... | |
| Martin Logan Prodigy with Sonic Frontiers Power >>BTW, I called ML on Friday... they said the 110W/ch Tube power should be plenty to for these...but that the hell do they know. :) LOLThe people at the ML factory also drive some of the smaller models with very low power amps and integrated... | |
| Joseph Audio Pulsar? Just heard them a few weeks ago. Unimpressed would be a nice way to react. I was frankly shocked at how weak they were. I have liked some of the Joseph speakers in the past but I think this company has lost their way as the Pulsar sounded constric... | |
| Apple Lossless vs iTunes Plus Wildouts - you need not get a headache with computer audio. iTunes is FREE. You can easily rip CDs using iTunes and code to AAC at a MINIMUM of 256K or 320KB rate. Just make sure that error correction is turned on in iTunes. On the other hand, I l... | |
| Apple Lossless vs iTunes Plus I have done blind testing with AAC lossy at 256K and Apple Lossless. A group of six audiophiles could not hear any differences between CD, WAV and various lossless files. Further, we could not hear any differences until the bit rate was below 256 ... | |
| Wadia 170i v.s 171i Digital Transport The Onkyo doc is superior in every way. I would also look at the new PURE i-20 dock. | |
| pure ipod dock Very interested in this as I just sold my ONKYO digital dock. I have read that the built in DAC is excellent too. g | |
| Harman Kardon 3390 & 3490 Incredible bargains, especially if you listen with your ears and not your eyes. | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Without level matching within 1 dB MINIMUM, this is nothing but an open loop listening test. Similar to the fantasy reviews in Stereophile. |
