| Quality Power Cord There are hundreds of brands. Are you willing to try them all? When it comes to cords I make it simple - I use either Custom Power Cord Company ( no longer in business ) or Purist Audio on everything.Perhaps NAD owners could share their experience... | |
| Anyone interested in world music? Yes, I know Loreena. Nights at Alhambra is excellent. | |
| Turntable set up- How easy is it I wouldn't do final arm adjustment until your the cartridge had been fully burnt-in, that's at least 100 hours but possibly more. 100 hours is a kind of universal number, more or less. My Grado phones was not fully burnt-in after 100 hours but pro... | |
| Nottingham resonance control Terry9, thank you. Yes, I have doubts about metal cones, they might give me ringing.Why Baltic Birch and not, say, Brazilian Rosewood or Cocobolo? Or Ebony? In any case, it's an interesting idea.I am not going to replace arm or cartridge soon - I ... | |
| How important is bass to you? I can't say I like it much, but it's unusual - three different bass guitars together. Must have a lot of deep bass, but I can't hear it! I just got computer and Grado 225e phones that are separate from my system. Start at about 5:30https://www.you... | |
| What is your favourite Coltrane album ? Thank you all. A lot to check out.Orpheus10, thank you, I liked that. But it's quite different from Coltrane, though I understand that he both influenced many and was influenced by various music and traditions.Miles Davis is my favourite jazz musi... | |
| SF AIDA OR EVIDENCE PLATINUM W MOMENTUM PRE & AMP Duke, I too think that in fact we are basically in agreement. | |
| SF AIDA OR EVIDENCE PLATINUM W MOMENTUM PRE & AMP Duke, you are a pro, I am a listener. I can try to put it as a layman. I thought that the speakers/room system as presented by you is a bit mechanical. I believe it to be more as a kind of diad, a symbyosis of a sort, singing with one voice that c... | |
| What is your favourite Coltrane album ? Which Coltrane? I am not sure. I like his saxs. It's like Miles - I may not like much paticular track or album but I always like his trumpet. I know Favourite Things.Let's see, at least three to begin with - Blue Train, Giant Steps and Love Supreme. | |
| SF AIDA OR EVIDENCE PLATINUM W MOMENTUM PRE & AMP Duke, I am sure that you are correct. However, you use the term 'room treatment' while I say 'tuning' speaker/room pair. Are we talking about the same thing? I don't know. I share Michael Green's idea about tuning the entire system.Grand piano wil... | |
| Otari or Technics Reel-to-Reel ? French_fries, I think you exaggerate certain points. Yes, it is not inexpensive, like any hi-fi. Otari that appears to be in good condition can be had for about $1k. Let's say you would need another $1k right away to align, calibrate and maybe rep... | |
| How important is bass to you? 20Hz-40Hz is quite a range, I meant below, say, 25HZ.Of course 'well played' is more important, but if you can't really hear it - it makes no difference.Not only crossover and room are critical but electronics too. Some people upgrade their speake... | |
| SF AIDA OR EVIDENCE PLATINUM W MOMENTUM PRE & AMP Yeah, 'if done right' is the key. The room should be precisely tuned too, in this case especially so, I assume.Hell, I just put one Walker resonance control disc on my Nakamichi deck, somewhere in the middle, and there was a small but noticeable i... | |
| How important is bass to you? Many instruments can get quite low, not only pipe organ and acoustic and electric bass. And voice can get low too. There is a huge difference between a system giving you some bass at, say, 30hz and the one that plays it just as well as 50hz.I was ... | |
| Techinics Sp-10 Mk2a break-in period There are 'good connectors' and there are always better connectors. I will not argue this particular case because I have no idea, but usually differences in power cords are quite audible, sometimes big time audible.Another point - we do not have e... |
