| How significant is a power cord upgrade? I was a power cord skeptic about 5-6 years ago. I still can't explain why they should affect the sound. However, I am now of the mindset that the power cords affect the sound, good or bad, more than interconnects or speaker cables do. As always, Y... | |
| Looking for a new "universal" player 03-06-07: ChadnlizJmcgrogan2 with all due respect I was responding to anothers opinion and offered mine, I was not talking to you.Chadnliz, with all due respect, this is a public forum, obviously you do not understand what that means. If you want ... | |
| Looking for a new "universal" player 03-06-07: ChadnlizI would spend whatever you want right now, this war between formats shows no hint of being settled, and it could end up a case of murder/suicide where both get dumped.A la SACD and DVD-A, huh? | |
| Aesthetix Calypso compatible with Pass amps? 03-06-07: Mole_rit_suaJust so I'm 100% clear...the goal is to min the ratio (all things equal) - so 10:1 is preferred to say a 36:1 -- or am I mixed up? I'm looking at moving to the very same combo. You are mixed up. A 36:1 ratio is preferred to a... | |
| Tube pre + Pass power amp Why don't you e-mail Audphile1, he has a ARC tube preamp with his Pass X250.5 amp. Search the virtual systems for Pass amps and see who is running tube preamps with them and contact them. I've done this before, and most audiophile's are polite eno... | |
| Audio Horizon Preamp Oh, that's right. I just re-read your original post. You need a review from a glossy rag to tell you it's good. In that case, just buy a ARC Ref 3, VTL 7.5 or CJ Act 2.If you can't afford these, the Cary SLP-98 has a good review.Personally, I don'... | |
| Audio Horizon Preamp Kensetsu, I don't understand your ramblings. If you are not interested in the Audio Horizons preamp, just buy something else. It seems pretty straight forward to me, I don't know why you're having such emotional difficulties.Lord knows there are p... | |
| Review: RAM X-01 "Unlimited" Some of us also know him as Brody. Great review Andy.A real shame about that grounding issue. :)I've recently heard a CDSA-SE, and I don't think you have anything to worry about.I can imagine this being the best digital you've ever heard, but come... | |
| Looking for a new "universal" player The DV-60's are holding their value better because they are newer than the UX-3's, even the UX-3 SE's. The DV-60's have the more up to date video circuitry, including upscaling to 1080p and HDMI outputs, which the UX-3's do not have. Though the UX... | |
| Outlook Audio I believe they are out of business. Last time I drove by they had signs in the windows claiming they were out of business. I can't imagine if they were in business that this would be good for business. :)That didn't last long. I never even had a c... | |
| B&W 803D or Dynaudio C2's The Von Schweikert's would be a tad more dynamic, the Dynaudio's would win everything else. To be honest, it's not really fair to compare the VSR-4 Jr's with the Dynaudio C2's or C4's. The Dyne's sell for 3-4 times the VSR-4 Jr's price tag. | |
| Preamp Eats tubes.. Do you have a tube tester? Are you sure about how new your supply of 'NOS' tubes are? If you don't own a tube tester, maybe your NOS tubes are not as new as you think they are.I haven't heard of the Sonic Frontiers Line 3 being a 'tube eater', but... | |
| SONY TRINITRON ON 11 YEARS Sounds like typical behavior for a NYC feller.Burrrrrrump BA!Thank you, thank you very much, I'll be here all week. | |
| New Format The new format is not tangible, it's so small you can't touch it, see it, clean it, or tweak it.It's already here, it's the computer. Just hook your computer up to your rig for playback. Need more storage? Buy more memory.John | |
| Crank it up just once Go ahead, crank it up. What's the worst you can do, fry a couple drivers? Who amongst us hasn't done that? Oh, only me? Never mind. :) |
