| Any speaker cable's sound quality just blown you away? N'st's Valhalla has performed exceptionally well with a number of different systems I have listened to, including mine (no, don't have it: way beyond my means). As to blowing me away... maybe I'm becoming a cynic in my old age -- but no cigar.Othe... | |
| Burned CDs can sound better than the original? Blues man, your experiments are extremely interesting, thanks for sharing! Any way to (artificially) enhance dynamics ?Indeed, Gregdavis, how do you do the reclocking? I've played around with imaging, then analysing, "cleaning" and trying to enhan... | |
| Who R U? Amen, Joe, if I may say so. Your words give strength. And let's all keep the ball rolling whatever happens...Greg | |
| why is belt drive better than direct drive? Sean, regarding the magnetic propulsion there is a German TT (Gabriel) that works in a similar way, with no contact between the (very heavy) platter & subplatter. The sound is phenomenal -- as is the price, contrary to the Fisher. As expected,... | |
| New Audio Physic Avanti 3's versus previous Talon Khorus re, Avanti III: following on A/kinesis' & Soix's comments above, I would add two points.1) speakers seems to require power amplification well above their price "level"; for example, a S-Line Kraft 250 class A introduced mid-bass clarity and lo... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Hi, Tubegroover, Detlof, Rcprince; may I also recommend the Quator Altis version of 14 on Sony (the version is based on the original text -- so, differs slightly from the others). Can't seem to find the RCA version of the #15 on catalogue...Re, Be... | |
| Monitor/Bookshelf speakers for 20w SET-cost no object I have heard a KR amp (i.e., not your Cary) driving: Mini Utopia, A-Physic Step+sub; Proac2 with a different set-up.I personally preferred the JM & Step experience with jazz/blues: the source equipment was cdp (YBA 1) with both speakers, and t... | |
| Nueance shelf Hi JD. As I can't find Ken, would you know the weight limit for the present Neuance? I'm in the +50pounds / piece range for CDP & pre, and want to avoid cones for fear of earthquakes...Cheers,Greg. | |
| Definin' the blues (humor) Sd, remember J-L Hooker's "Stripped Me Naked"? "Took ta money in da bank.. took my Cadillac, too...stripped me naked..." substitute Cadillac & ad lib: took ma monos, da ell pees in da room, ...took ma stators too... stripped me nekkid...)!Sign... | |
| Bear Labs Cables? Lak spoke for me, too.Cheers! | |
| Short Power Cable (ie, 3 to 6ft) Vtin, the sonic benefits of short speaker cable*-long I/C, versus short I/C-longer speaker cable, have been difficult to gauge in my experience. I have tried both -- the latter lately; my personal experience favours keeping the IC short (around 1m... | |
| loose tubes LOL, Detlof; I never noticed a difference either -- but I kept it up, religiously!!! Am I neurotic? | |
| Why do cables need break-in? Detlof, LOL! How about TRAINING thus challenged electrons to enhance their skills. Huge market: "Goodbuy expensive cabling, hello expensive (electrons) training!"Sorry, Pendragn, I'm off subject.Cheers! | |
| The worst sound system Detlof, "restaurant-bar"; getting drunk is indeed hard work -- but thoroughly rewarding, don't you find? | |
| loose tubes In another vein, slightly lifting tubes changes the point of contact on the pins -- so, maybe better contact? You'll notice that the pins have small indentations at the point of contact with the base -- I used to sand the pins with very fine paper... |
