| CD Player break in period Gawdbless, I truly wish the World were what we wish it to be. . . unfortunately 'tis only just waht it is. Or in the immortal words of Prof. Francesco Isola, my highschool teacher of Latin and Italian Literature: "The impact with factual reality i... | |
| CD Player break in period Gawdbless, excellent theory. . . I wish it matched reality more than it does. I bought the complete String Quartets by Antonin Dvorak recorded by the Panocha Quartet on Supraphon. Read the various online reviews. . . they range from glowing to sha... | |
| CD Player break in period Cerrot, I am delighted you persisted. . . my X-01 was absolutely awful in the beginning as well. If you ever have the opportunity, try the Alpha version of your Python chord and the Hydra 4 or 6 on your X-03. The VX chords and the Hydra 8 contain ... | |
| Classical speakers that do violins well?? Hi Bob, well. . . size is not everything. . . old Ludwig was physically a runt, yet. . .The Beethoven Baby Grands have no right to sound as good as they do. If you are patient you should be able to source them for under $2K on Audiogon. | |
| Classical speakers that do violins well?? . . . back to Vienna. . . Bob, your Aragon 2004 should be in the very safe range for the Strausses or other Vienna offerings. The damping factor of my JRDG 7M monos is just under 200 and work well with the Mahlers. By the way, if the Strausses wer... | |
| Classical speakers that do violins well?? Daveyf, I am not at all surprised about your observations on SF Guarneri with violins. Like Vienna Acoustics, Sonus Faber are known for their extreme usicality, and by the way, they are also imported by Sumiko. | |
| Classical speakers that do violins well?? I agree MRT, I will herewith get in touch with Mr. Ma, as I am partial to the sound of Stradivari cellos. I am positive that Mr. Ma will immediately be sympathetic to the plight of this obscure audiophile, and will rush to Austin to facilitate my ... | |
| Classical speakers that do violins well?? For classical music, ranging from solo, to chamber, vocal, and orchestra, I am extremely partial to the entire Austrian line of Vienna Acoustics, which like the Italian Sonus Faber, is imported by Sumiko Audio. I listen mostly to classical, and I ... | |
| Cleaning Sonus Faber speakers I suggest you call directly Sumiko Audio at 510-843-4500. They are best qualified to answer question on Sonus Faber, as they are the US importers of the line. | |
| Spectron Musician 3 First Impressions? Chris, your suggestion is somewhat similar to what I suggested to Simon. . . upgraded internal components, bridging to mono via switch (can't degrade sound any more than 'Y' pigtail on speaker wires)(, upgraded metal-work. | |
| Spectron Musician 3 First Impressions? iSanchez, I am particularly interested in hearing about your future findings with 2 Spectrons bridged to mono. Also, what is complete break in time for Spectron Musician 3 Sig? | |
| CD Player break in period Jmcgrogan2, you may be correct, but the idea is to ensure that the output phases of the CDp have something to do by letting them communicate with a live destination. This of course may all be nonsense, and a CDP with the rest of the system turned ... | |
| CD Player break in period Excellent method Dodgealum. That is exactly what I did with X-01 break in. CDp on repeat and an old linestage turned on with moderate gain. I kept amps on standby. This resulted in a barely perceivable reedy sound from the speakers. Every 150 hrs ... | |
| CD Player break in period Thank you Cerrot, my experience with the Shunyata Python and Anaconda Helix VX on X-01 is they tend to create a slight candy-coating of reality, paradoxically accompanied by harshening in some situations. I found the Alpha chords ultimately more s... | |
| Spectron Musician 3 First Impressions? I have auditioned the Spectron Musician 3 Signature for several hours at Chang Audio Network (303-470-7077)( owned by Steve Chang (audiogoner SCHANG) in Denver last fall. Words that come to mind when thinking about that wonderful experience with t... |
