| An impression of some phono stages Mordante -- in my pre I could set the loading using dip switches situated inside the chassis.BUT, as the sound is coming to, why not just leave it for now. | |
| What is the single best pre amp you have ever hear The FM Acoustics 266. I have not heard S McCormack's "virtual reality engine" (VRE), but look forward to it soon. | |
| $18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please Philip has anyone thought of VTL, CAT legend & Joule electra? I have listened to the latter 2 (not the big VTL)In brief: the Joule offers angelic details -- i.e. the & upper mids and high frequencies are detailed and perceptible, but not ... | |
| does your system "warm up" and then sound better? Csontos: why there seems to be an increase in performance after pausing my CDPThe player resets, that;s why you get a marginally better sound.B_limo: I think that you're OK if you keep your pre & cdp on. Keeping your amp on all the time may be... | |
| An impression of some phono stages I had a SL top of line pre with phono (probably your phono module) and do not remember the sound being bass shy. I can only suggest that you are either loosing energy somewhere or that the pre hasn't been on long enough. Since the latter is unlike... | |
| Another Hum question Sounds like a grounding problem (hopefully) rather than a caps problem (not so good) since it goes away in balanced mode. As to what to do about it... check your power cord and the mains plug. Failing that, I think you're better off speaking to a ... | |
| Amplification to B&W 800 Diamond I'm not sure what you hope to get from other amps... I have listened to your amps driving a number of speakers very well indeed!Anyway, if you are adamant, I suggest that even more powerful amplification OR class A, are the way to go. So Adyton is... | |
| New but old fashioned looking speakers… Which CJ premier amp do you own? What music do you listen to & how loud ?Anyway...a) if you have corners available, the Klipshorn are hard to beat for most kinds of music (all, except classical -- where I find them very capable as well). These... | |
| Speaker pairings with Pass INT-30A One intriguing possibility would be speakers with powered bass unit (eg Zu Def 4); the limitation of the 30A is mainly in the lows, if one doesn't listen too loudly.Exactly. In fact, going beyond a "possibility" it would be a necessity in order to... | |
| Any one here heard the Bmi Oceanic Statement? Of course there is fairy dust.You just can't see it. You only hear it. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? :)if I was not educated in Marxian theachings I would claim for her a saint status:)Maybe you could apply for "Hero of the Soviet Union" for historical reasons... or the Order of Lenin. :)OTOH, of course a mustache is more important than a cigar -... | |
| Avantgarde UNO or TAD CR-1 or Accuphase? May I also propose that you keep your present Micros & add another subwoof. I.e., see the 2 Rels as a pair of "woofers". I've listened to a pair of Micro complemented by a pair of Focal subwoofs and the sound was full, powerful and complete (i... | |
| An audiophile dilemma Rok2id -- You did mention your Polks further up. Sorry, I hadn't noticed. The model I heard is the 9. | |
| An audiophile dilemma For instance, why does a Vandersteen, which I am sure is a fine speaker, cost tens times what my Polks cost?I can't answer on the price differential you mention & I have no idea which Polks you use & which Vander you are referring to, BUT,... | |
| Best Integrated, period. Anyone heard the Neodio NR 1200 Yes, I have. It offers a very detailed sound -- i.e. high frequencies are stable and strong. Vs the Dart, I felt it was more precise, perhaps even, a bit drier. Another outstanding integrated is the Vitus Signature ... |
