| Mapleshade CD Favorites I own about 10 Mapleshade CDs, and while I enjoy the fidelity of them I don't always care for the performances. Also, I've noticed some strange subsonic anomlies on a few of them. That being said, I really like Sunny Sumter's recording for Maplesh... | |
| Virtual Dynamics Interconnects. Any experience? Hello fellas. I've had my cryo'd Audition cables and cords on constantly and playing throughout the day since they first arrived 11 days ago. When I first installed them I was stunned at the enormity of the soundstage and how everything was render... | |
| Best tubes for ARC LS16 preamp Thanks for the info Albert. I have a pair of Siemens 6922 E88CC and 6922 CCas at home as well as a pair of Mullards on the way. I can't wait to try them out in my DAC. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Sean, there two aural deserts in life besides a lovely women's voice that I love. One, is the sound of that lovely voice coming from my ever improving audio rig. And the other is the visceral experience of beautiful engine note. I work on the west... | |
| What is your most anal audio habit? Detlof, I like DSOTM as well for removing crusty dustys. Or how about Spinosaurus vs. T-Rex from JP3 jumping around? They're sure to shake the neighbors too. I actually have one of those Sharper Image Ionic Breeze machines by my audio rig, and I k... | |
| What is your most anal audio habit? Mine is to never allow more than 1/8" layer of dust to accumulate on my gear. Once it gets past 1/4", reading the displays can get pretty tough. | |
| Virtual Dynamics Recall Yes, I am Sherod! To the point where I care less about break-in on the Auditions, and am beginning to experiment with different tubes in my DAC and preamp. I already know I love the Virtual Dynamics and they'll only improve, so I've gone ahead and... | |
| Need more bass response Hi Axspike. I've only been hardcore into the audiophile lifestyle for a little over two years. The first year and a half I toiled with cables and cords and never got the noticeable results I had read many others had attained. However, over the las... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Oh, how can I forget these two favorites of mine...'69/'70 Dodge Charger...Early '70's Ferrari Daytona 365GTB | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Viggen, I want to put one of those outdoor speakers that look like a rock in my passenger side footwell. That or how about an array of ribbon tweeters in the headliner?Marakanetz, I like your idea of a dedicated mobile for transporting gear. Even ... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Lotta M3s here. You M owners ever try transporting audio gear in your M3? I have, and it's a good thing I only have mini monitors, because I can barely fit anything other than myself and a backpack. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? 1. 1999 BMW M32. 1999 BMW M33. 2003 BMW M5 or Porsche 996 or Ferrari 360 Modena or the new Acura NSX V-8!For all you Integra GSR owners. I used to drive a '96, and boy do I miss the rush of the V-TEC. Those cars come to life above 6000 RPMs. The M... | |
| Best Amp/Preamp for Sonus Faber Concertino-Please I once owned Concertinos and had a nice time running them with a Simaudio Moon I-5. | |
| Virt. Dynamics Power 2 break-in I would think for faster burn in, if the amp is playing music that would accelerate the process because of the higher current demands during certain musical passages. I'm sure just having the amp on will help, but playing music would be better. | |
| Digital cable v. standard interconnects Since going to a separate tranpsort and DAC, I've used Kimber Illuminations D60, MapleShade Golden Double Helix and Cardas Lightning L15, thinking that a 75 ohm cable was critical. A week ago I received a fully cryo'd Audition Package of Virtual D... |
