| Interconnects that offer a mid-bass lift Difficult to advise, since no-one has your system, and cables are design & system dependent. What you are looking for, as I understand it, i a cable that slightly attenuates frequencies above mid-bass (as you know cables don't amplify...).Have... | |
| Capturing the MUSIC; a furtive cause? What R We... Hallo Detlof, I was happy to see you return to these cyber-shores.I'll try a PM and hope it reaches you.In my ever ripening age, I am more and more convinced that complacency is a waste of life...:) | |
| tonearm + cartridge for custom lenco 75 Try a unipivot Clearaudio arm, if you can. I think the price is within your range (or starts within the range). They are simple, well made and sound OK on the Lenco.Otherwise try a used SME 3012 (or 3009).Finally, I think Pro-ject sells arms separ... | |
| Which is better: Transport+DAC or PC system+DAC My experience was with red-book, not sacd.Since other formats came up, blu-ray is significantly better than the other digital formats I know assuming an originally hi def recording.Unfortunately not much choice... | |
| Have cables become somewhat of a snake-oil topic. Hi Mezmo - yr point is well putwhat exactly is some other wire plugged into the playback chain changing, or adding, or whatever?Presumably, the idea is to lose as little as possible of whatever sonic info still remains on the medium (i.e. whatever... | |
| Which is better: Transport+DAC or PC system+DAC My subjective answer to yr question is, forget it. Keep what you have & listen to music.For the record, I tackled the dilemma as well and yes, I was inspired by the post Mgattmch mentions. The quick answer to my experiment is, the PC (RAM to s... | |
| Cambridge 640P Power Supply Upgrade W-wonka Greg - the final upgrade was to replace all internal wiringI notice you use Kimber, a tried & trusted choice if there ever was one!BTW, why not hard-wire the power supply cable at the PS end? | |
| Bandwidth Limitations Of Class D Amps?? Obviously there is a vested interset in a Class D amp and some are not open to what the best amp makers are saying:)!I don't think GC builds & sells class D amps in his spare time... really.Just as an idea: listen to a couple. I did. I wasn't ... | |
| Move from my LS3/5A orig ownr to Harbeth which I had the 15ohm Rodgers LS35a as ell as the esl-63s. If you are looking for similar sound but more frequency extension, the Harbeths are a very good choice.As you already have a large speaker (esl-63) I suggest that the Harbeth 40 is the model tha... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Lewm did you know that Copernicus merely revived an idea of the ancient Greeks about a heliocentric universeYes: Aristarchos the Samian. Info acquired recently thanks to my kids... Until then, Samos was an island (it still is) and produced very go... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? Rower30: your original post & further "articles" are very interesting and, if i may say so, a significant contribution to the community. I do of course agree with your basic premise but never have managed to put the matter in the same clear te... | |
| Cambridge 640P Power Supply Upgrade Given an asking price of $70 for aftermarket warts, Wonka's diy power supply looks like a no-brainer. If I understood correctly, all that project entails is to purchase the tranies and then plug the secondary to the equipment... | |
| Aging and Treble and Income? an excellent pair of Quad 57 ELS speakersThese produce outstanding sound within their response spectrum... Nothing to do with getting older:) I've been shopping for speakers for over a year. Noting wrong with what I have but would love something s... | |
| Tube Amplifier for Thiel I wonder if any "more affordable" tube or SS monoblocks may drive the big Thiel nicely. Have you considered the Odyssey products? Their monos sounded very nice to me (driving other speakers). Carver mentioned above is another choice. Both are SS,... | |
