| CDP voltage output...what does it mean to volume? 02-19-07: TboooeThanks Peak. So something playing 10db less will sound half as loud? In other words 75db sounds half as loud as 85db?Correct! | |
| What must I correct to get the perfect sound? Pssst, you wanna buy some perfect sound forever? I have some silver discs to sell you.Actually, I would guess it would be your cables. 'Super Transparent' often times translates into 'bright' and/or 'grainy'.Try some Cardas cables. If I recall cor... | |
| Underwood HiFi Ultimate Mod Denon 3910 Ed, no worries. That's a killer phono stage you have, I'm green with envy. Though if I may suggest, the Ayre D-1xe is a bit dated video wise. You may be better off looking for a stock Esoteric DV-60. Especially if you can use the HDMI output. It's... | |
| B&W 803D or Dynaudio C2's You're too smart for me Scott. Top to bottom front to back, eh? That's deep.Actually the 901's are only a dream.....maybe one day I could afford such great speakers........... :)Enjoy your 803D's, not to worry, ignorance is bliss. | |
| Do BAT preamps run HOT? You'll find that after the callous' build up you'll be able to rest your hand on it for much longer than 10 seconds. :)Yes, it's normal.I'm expecting my VK-32SE in this week for an audition. I can't wait. | |
| Underwood HiFi Ultimate Mod Denon 3910 I would tend to agree Ed. Not to be too self serving, but I just posted an ad that may be right up you alley, a RAM modded Esoteric DV-60. The picture quality was much better than my previous Denon 5910, which was quite a surprise to me. The DV-60... | |
| Underwood HiFi Ultimate Mod Denon 3910 Hi Ed,I have a Underwood HiFi Ultimate modded Marantz SA-11S1, which is very impressive, though not a Denon 3910.Cheers,John | |
| Top turntables? Walker Audio Proscenium Black Diamond Turntable . | |
| B&W 803D or Dynaudio C2's Scott, the music is in the midrange. Bass doesn't determine the best speaker, otherwise we'd all just buy a pair of Cerwin Vega's and be done with it.No one is knocking the B&W 803D's, they are fine speakers, but if you haven't heard the Dynau... | |
| Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions? Actually Dennis, the Rev's are used, not new, at least that is what Rick and Abderrahim at VD told me. There is no way of telling how many hours have been on them, maybe 50 maybe 5000. You can't tell when buying used.If it does indeed take 3-4 mon... | |
| RidgeStreetAudio Poiema 3 IC'S? Chris,I'm glad you are enjoying the RSAD cables, they are great. Wait until you hear the P3 Sig power cords! I still have a couple of 'em myself, very nice. The gent's name is Robert Schulte though, not Richard. You are correct though, he is one o... | |
| Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions? Ozzy,I see in your system that you have PAD Dominus interconnects and VD Revelation speaker cables, an interesting combination indeed. Have you thought about going all one way or the other? I know Rick Schultz recommends a full VD rig. I'm sure Ji... | |
| Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions? To all, I replaced the binding posts on my Rowland amp today, and wrestled the Revelations into place (I have the scars to prove it).My initial impressions are favorable, they sound very good. The attack and decay of instrumental notes, as well as... | |
| Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions? Blaine, I haven't decided yet, but I'm leaning towards giving them another shot. I can pre-bend them into shape, but to do it right, I would have had to move my right channel speaker out of position. I tried to do it the easier way, by just turnin... | |
| How far would you drive to audition a component? 2.5 hours each way is the furthest I've driven so far. I may go a bit further, but not much further. |
