| Absolute Power Cords? Any opinions? Sam, as you know I'm pretty new to all of this, especially power cords. So I was shocked that such a change could occur from just the wall to the component.I haven't really been into headphones since the 70's. But that was more to hide the fact fr... | |
| Absolute Power Cords? Any opinions? Bluenose, I forgot to mention that first I installed an Acoustic Zen Tsunami on my amp while the other APCs were still in place. The AZ had a mellowing effect on the sound, which was very welcome indeed. Then I got the VD P2s for my transport, DAC... | |
| Absolute Power Cords? Any opinions? Hi, I had used three Absolute Power Cords in my system for about seven months then switched to three Power 2 cords from Virtual Dynamics. The improvement was amazing. More dynamics, more extension at both ends, the soundstage grew and strangely th... | |
| Looking or a Used player/Dac for under 2000. Yeah, it looks like you have the power situation under control. So what you suspect is that with all the tube gear, it might too much of a good thing? It'll be interesting to see what happens if you change to an SS DAC. Maybe Natalie's suggestion ... | |
| Describe your listening chair I bet you can sit real low in a beach chair, in my application that would be a definite advantage. Vibrating chair wings? Maybe if you crank it up even higher the chair will fly! | |
| Looking or a Used player/Dac for under 2000. Hi, Hkvos. Although I've never heard your equipment, I'm a bit surprised you may find the Audio Note 1.1 DC lacking because I've read so many good reviews of it. It could possibly be the Arcam. I just got the new Kora Hermes tube DAC a few days ag... | |
| Bi amping Horz / Vert / Parallel / Series ???? Alb, I own Proac Tab 50 Sigs too, and ran them with an Electrocompaniet ECI-3 integrated last year. Nice combo. I've mostly run my speakers biwired, and have never experimented with using two amps. Let us know what works out for you.Ezmeralda, tha... | |
| CAL Delta Vs Theta Pearl Vs Wadia WT-2000 I've been using a Theta Pearl transport for almost a year now, and love it. During this time I'd been using it with a Bel Canto DAC 1.1 with great success. However, I've been playing with one of the new Kora Hermes tube DACs this weekend, and I mu... | |
| Will new power cords by my answer? I had one of Brulee's audio memory makers when I upgraded power cords a month ago. When I installed some Power 2 PCs from Virtual Dynamics, I experienced all the positive attributes you've listed. I didn't think a PC upgrade could do this, but I w... | |
| Best way to organize 6000 albums? Wait a minute Dekay, didn't you once say that your electronics are in the closet too? I bet them there skeletons feel down right cramped.I can't imagine 6000 LPs. Wow! When they are arranged on shelves, how wide are they, and how tall?I think a ni... | |
| Describe your listening chair Good enough, no harm done. Enjoy the music. | |
| Describe your listening chair Sorry for the redundancy. I did check the archives, but obviously not thoroughly enough. I apologize for rehashing an old issue.Msnloeth, I don't know you at all, so it's very difficult to see your intended humor. Remember, I can't see your smilin... | |
| ? for Proac Response Owners I have ProAcs and am running them with biwired Analysis Plus Oval 9 with WBT banana termination. However, I also own the previously mentioned Analysis Plus Silver Oval jumpers with spades in case I ever need to have the speakers jumped. | |
| Question about inverting polarity If it's out of phase won't you lose a lot of bass response because the woofers are working against each other, where as inverting polarity just switches left to right and vice-versa? My Bel Canto DAC 1.1 can do this in the digital domain so I can ... | |
| ProAc Response One and Tablette 50 Sig Comparo Hi James. Without ever hearing the 1SCs, I have assumed many of the differences you note. Much more has been written about them compared to the Tab 50s. I would think some of the differences could be attributed to the larger woofer of the 1SC. And... |
