| Walker Audio- High Definition Links- anyone I bought a set of the series 2 links and tried them on avalon arcus speakers. Did not work well. Sounded as if someone threw a blanket over them. Still have them if anyone wants to buy them. | |
| Walls, ceilings, floors -- neighbors and sound This issue played a big part in my recent home purchase. I ended up buying an end unit townhouse where my upstairs bedrooms and master bath acted as a buffer between my listening room and the adjoining neighbor. Worked out very well, but I still d... | |
| What is the best CD player direct into one's amp? I've ran a consonance ref. 2.2 direct and was surprised on how good it sounds. My previous experience running an Audio Alchemy dac direct was a large loss of dynamics. It may be the tubed output stage of the consonance that's the difference. I sti... | |
| What was your first music that you paid for? Jan and Dean-"dead mans's curve" | |
| Plinius or Mark Levinson for Grand Pianos? try an active preamp with the arc piece, you may find you have enough power. | |
| McCormack DNA1 options i have a dna1 that i used to run direct from a variable output dac. sound was very transparent, but overall thin. i then added a ai modulus l1 and it added mucho body and dynamics with no hiss. i've heard that the modulus line of preamps are a goo... | |
| Any comments on Walker High Def Links??? i purchased a set of hdl's for my avalon arcus' and they didn't work well. i don't know if it was a mismatch with avalon's crossover or what, but they took all the sparkle and life out of them. i loaned them to a friend of mine with acoustats and ... | |
| Change my AA front-end personally, i don't think the front end is your problem. i had the same front end driving a power amp direct with exactly the same problem. once i put an audible illusions tubed preamp in, all the fullness and bass suddenly appeared. i'd tend to b... | |
| Need more bass response i myself have moved away from rock recordings due to the poor recording/mastering. it almost seems as if most rock recordings are mastered for a boombox or car audio system. | |
| s.s. preamp matchup to mccomack dna1 rev.a i run a dna-1 and modulus l1 and am extremely happy with the combination. very dynamic | |
| preamp for aragon 8008st & Vandersteen 2ce sigs? any of the ai modulus preamps also a good choice | |
| McCormack RLD-1 vs Rogue Audio 66 vs TLC-1 deluxe i have a dna1 and auditioned a tlc and an audible illusions linestage. went with the ai as it seemed to lend more body and dynamics to the music. hope this helps. regards, harry | |
| Will buy Pre-amp today, help please !! i like the cat, but the rest of my system is single ended, and i think the bat may be only balanced. the single ended versus balanced would be the key determiner for me. hope this helps. | |
| tube preamp with satisfying low end? another possibility is the audible illusions preamps. i am running an L-1 linestage with a DNA1 and am getting very full and tight bass. check them out | |
| Preamp to Match Odyssey Stratos check out the audible illusions preamps. they mate well with ss amps. not terribly expensive and quite a few on the used market. i use an ai l1 linestage with a mccormack DNA1 and am very happy with it. i would definitely go with a tubed preamp. h... |
