| Need recommendation for hi-rez xlr plugs for re-termination project Approximately 3X the conductivity for a cleaner and fuller sound. I find ^that^ a bit far fetched… 3x the conductivity of what? (Pure copper, aluminium, ??) | |
| Improve sound One of the best investments in sound I made that allows me to utilize whatever my current setup to it's fullest was the purchase of a dbx Drive Rack PA2 along with a corresponding calibration mic.. It's basically automatic in set up and the resul... | |
| Amp for Vandersteen 2ci @highend64 is that a step up from the B&K? (Or a sideways step… aka sidestep?) if you do not have a subwoofer, then I would suggest that it could/should be a better, or more sure improvement, than just swapping amps. Not sure about your p... | |
| When CDs first came onto the market in 1982 ....... I started off with a pretty decent TT, so it was not really a fair comparison. But all the CD players sounded OK. | |
| When CDs first came onto the market in 1982 ....... Everyone was "blown away" with the perceived clarity of sound. … Is this on the money or am I mistaken ... ?? My advisor in 80’s said, “this technology is immature, I would stick with a TT for now.” And it seems like he was correct, as the amo... | |
| Four Hour Tube Amp Warm-Up bolong +1; a weak tube can take a long time to warm up properly Where is @tubebuffer these days? As Confucius say, “Man with strong tube, need little time to warm up.” | |
| Home theater and 2 channel setup from same speakers? I thought , the OP wanted the Tube preamp to go THROUGH the Receiver. @maxwave i am not sure that is what the OP wants… And they also ,mentioned new speaker in the second sentence. I currently have a home theater 5 channel setup. I would l... | |
| Need recommendation for hi-rez xlr plugs for re-termination project @lcherepkai maybe your equipment does NOT follow the AES standard? If it does or does not, then that could be a factor. @pindac - ETI also make the silver ones, which is more $ than the copper version. Also, do you find unbalanced/rca interc... | |
| Need recommendation for hi-rez xlr plugs for re-termination project I was going to try some ETI ones in silver for a TT, but they would not sell a pair of females… Only Make/Female pairs. The Neutrik are my go to… but I am not much of a cable fellow, so it is usually Neutrik and Mogami. But the TT to phono are us... | |
| Home theater and 2 channel setup from same speakers? @maxwave I believe that the HT AVR (receiver) or AVP (processor) supplies either RCA or XLR outputs to the amp(s). It is shown in the white section on photo 5 of 8 on here: RCA inputs could take in a TT or AM/FM tuner, or something else… But I th... | |
| Amp for Vandersteen 2ci @highend64 i have had all sorts of amp on a 2C. PSE (SS) VTL compact 100 (EL34) NAD 3040 (SS) PrimaLuna (EL 34) AIYAMA Class-D) They all sounded pretty good… even the $70 AIYAMA was good enough. The PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium HP was $2k ... | |
| Improve sound …The athem does have dac internal. It's a AKM 4458 DAC 32bit 758. So would a dac still help. I do apologize if my post causes a well why did you not tell us that moment. I go to a lot of symphonies and I love violins. Some times when I playA... | |
| Home theater and 2 channel setup from same speakers? @sleepysurf ^good point^ (That is exactly how mine works.) ... The room I'm in could probably support both sets of L/R speakers but I was curious if I wanted to downsize speakers, is it possible to run a AVR and tube integrated amp without... | |
| Power cable dilemma @designsfx recently it is about a good God Damn song for XMAS. | |
| Power cable dilemma … I just want someone to publicly agree with this absurd claim so I and all rational audiophiles can have a good laugh. I don’t need “big boy audio ears”. I just need a good nose to sniff out this utter BS. @jrimer OK then… I agree. However a... |
