| Where's My Bass? While your components may be contributing to a lack of bass, I agree that room placement and the room, itself, can have the greatest effect on bass response. I have heard your Audio Physic Tempo III's at my dealer, and while I agree they are not k... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Bwhite, I think you are missing Audioengr's point about the various modules within a component not being tone controls. Correct me if I'm wrong Audioengr, but just because a module may add a small amount of noise or sound different from a similar ... | |
| Best sounding CD player for 6,000. Before buying the Electrocompaniet EMC-1 MKII, I auditioned in my system the Linn Ikemi, Burmester CD Player 992, and the Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista 3D CD Player. Although I could have lived happily with any of the above, particularly the Musical F... | |
| Cables other than MIT with Spectral I agree with Flex and Detlef. The required use of MIT cable with Spectral only applies to their power amplifiers. However, I believe it is essential that you use Spectral preamplifiers like my DMC-20 with Spectral amplifiers. I too have used other... | |
| Next Up-grade, Power Cables? I bought the Virtual Dynamics Audition cryo'ed power cords, which all come cryo'ed now. These cables were better than all others I auditioned including Custom Power Cord Top Gun HFC, which is the favorite cord of many reviewers at The Absolute Sou... | |
| Which worse- long I/C of speaker run I too, agree with SD, although I have heard both arguments. Recently, someone stated that because interconnects transmit lower-level signals than speaker cable, the potential for signal loss is greater with longer IC's than with longer speaker cab... | |
| CD player with best dynamics? I agree with Waltersalas. I own the Electrocompaniet EMC-1 24/192, and it has dynamics in spades, particularly when using Virtual Dynamics power cables. Even my former MIT Z-Cord II power cables couldn't dampen its dynamics. | |
| Sim Eclipse cd or Emc1.cd player which one I have had a new EMC1 cd for the past two months and find it produces music beautifully, especially after pairing it with Virtual Dynamics cables. After using the VD Audition cryogenically treated power and interconnect cables with it, the player ... | |
| Virtual Dynamics Recall That's good to hear, as I have a hard-wired Phase Linear amp for my subwoofers that could use improvement in that area. I read somewhere that it is a good idea to cut as short as possible the hard-wired cable and reterminate it with a quality plug... | |
| Virtual Dynamics Cryo'd Audition Cables That's good to hear. And we're only talking about the Audition series. I was talking with Rick Schultz today about the issue of differences in channel balance and, therefore, center focus that anyone could experience when using new cables. He said... |
