| Who is excited about Capital Audiofest 2023? I did go to the Philharmonic Audio Room on Saturday. The smaller models (Ceramic Mini and the True Mini) were actually very impressive. I wanted to buy the demo units for both models, but those were sold on Friday. For $850 (Ceramic Mini with cera... | |
| Who is excited about Capital Audiofest 2023? to my ears, the best rooms were (in no particular order): Kroma speakers/Aavik gear; YG Carmel 3/Vinnie Rossi gear; Vivid Giya 4/Mola Mola gear; Gershamn Acoustics/Infigo gear; Margules monitors/Margules gear (unfortunately the ppl that ran that r... | |
| Inakoustik cables - where to buy thanx guys! | |
| Focal Sopra 2 or Sopra 3? i've used Gryphon Diablo 120 (clas A/B) and Gato DIA400s integrated amps with my Sopra 2's and the tweeter never sounded 'hot' or bothersome. Quite the opposite...The sopra's sound is full, with a lush midrange, and a very tuneful bass. I can feel... | |
| Focal Sopra 2 or Sopra 3? I would go with Sopra 2's. They should have enough low end in your room. Mine are in a 14x20x8 listening room and they fill it up nicely. I've never used tubes on my pair, but they should sing with the VAC pre/amp combo. Good luck! | |
| New York City Audio Show 2019 this was a joke of an audio show...no idea why they have it in that tiny space...Bache sounded good, and also the big ML speakers...other than those 2, the sound in all the other rooms was not very 'hi-fi' level...the rooms were crowded, noisy, an... | |
| Theoretical question about how CD's work here is a somewhat related comment...i'm sure that many of us played a CD in the car while driving...i bet it sounded fabulous...regardless of the laser scattering, the bumps in the road, and all the motion the car experiences during a normal driv... | |
| McIntosh MA252 Hybrid Integrated Amp I wasn't impressed. I bought one of the very first units that hit the market. It didn't have enough juice to drive my Gemme Audio Katana speakers. I replaced it with Gold Note IS1000, a much better integrated amp. | |
| Faint hum.... yeap, a faint hum on any of the analog inputs...it doesn't go up with the volume...but it's there...Gold Note IS1000. Not planning to replace the amp since it is the most musical one i've had in my system... | |
| Faint hum.... i unplugged everything from the int amp...turned it on and the faint hum is present whenever one of the three analog inputs is selected...the hum disappears when one of the 4 digital inputs is selected...i changed the power cable for the int amp t... | |
| Faint hum.... I just checked and the low level hum is not increasing with volume. I don’t know why I thought it did yesterday. Why aren’t the digital inputs creating that hum? Why only when one of the three analog inputs is selected? Even without any interconne... | |
| Faint hum.... i'll try it, thanx. everything is plugged in the same power conditioner, and no cable box or tv in the room. | |
| The Science of Cables So we all (kinda) agree that cables have an impact on sound quality...we all want to hear the ‘pure, unaltered sound’ coming out of our speakers... how about the cables that were used during the recording session? I doubt all those record studios ... | |
| The Science of Cables taras22, thanx for your postings...finally someone talking about real science...i'm surprised the pebbles-magic clock-guy didn't chime in yet... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound we need more of the teleportation thingies...and more pebbles...and magic clocks...then we all are going to believe in the magic of power cords :) |
