| What's going on with the audio market? @dgarretson ,55270If anything, I have been taking money out of my system lately. I'm done.....yeah, I've said that before. However, I just don't have enough time to listen to justify the expense anymore.Also, I've noticed that this past year has b... | |
| Is it necessary to use the same cable brand and model for bi-wiring?? Well it sounds like you have two dissimilar pairs of speaker cables already. So you can try the experiment on your own. I've done it, don't worry, you won't blow anything up. See for yourself if it works or not, let your own ears decide.Let us kno... | |
| Is it necessary to use the same cable brand and model for bi-wiring?? All of audio is about tone control. What difference does it make if I change speaker around to suit my cables, or change cables around to suit my speakers?People basically change gear/cables around to suit their personal tastes. It's nothing to ma... | |
| Is it necessary to use the same cable brand and model for bi-wiring?? No, it is not "necessary" to use the same brand and model of cable for bi-wiring, just as it is not necessary to use the same brand and model of amplifiers when bi-amping. | |
| Jeff Rowland Model 2: need help troubleshooting standy noise I agree yakbob. I always felt that the Model 2/6/8/9 series was when JRDG had the perfect blend of musicality and transparency for my tastes. Earlier models were a bit too warm, later models a bit too lean. | |
| Newb question regarding alignment - Should the stylus Physically touch the protractor? I have always rest the stylus on the protractors that I have used, MintLP and Dr. Feickert. Neither of these is made of paper though.I suppose that short of getting a real protractor, you could try taping some thin plastic over the paper drawing... | |
| Klyne vs 47 Labs phono stage Yes, I can't really compare the Klyne to the Allnic with any sense of fairness. Different speakers, amp, turntable, cartridge, cables/cords, etc. That said, I am currently very satisfied with the Allnic H1201. I do not feel like I am "suffering" a... | |
| Cardas Clear Speaker Cables - From cable skeptic to beliver in one fell swoop To experience an MIT Oracle cabled system is to touch the face of God...all else pales in comparison. Having not experienced a properly set up MIT lashed system is akin to living under ground believing that all you have seen and heard is the wo... | |
| Marantz SA-11S3 vs Sony XA9000ES I would think that the SA-11S3 would represent a worthwhile upgrade. Marantz CDP's tend to be on the warmer, more musical side of the fence. If you are seeking more resolution, you may want to look at an Esoteric K-07X.One other consideration is p... | |
| Just what kind of preamplifier section does an integrated amp have? I think as paraneer stated, you can not just lump all integrated amps together and judge the sonic quality of their preamp section. Some integrated amps have very good preamp sections, some integrated amps have not so good preamp sections. Just as... | |
| Jeff Rowland Model 2: need help troubleshooting standy noise Yes, that does sound like a problem with the caps discharging. That amp is probably around 20 years old, and is due for a cap replacement.You should probably either send it to JRDG for service, or just leave on 24/7 as mofi suggests. | |
| VPI 3D tonearm adjustment Don c55 You're absolutely wrong on every count. If you don't know what you're talking about, why post an influential diatribe which just might affect the mindset of those unsure of the issue. Probably for the same reason you rant every ti... | |
| Klyne vs 47 Labs phono stage lewm, financial hardship is why I sold the Klyne. When I lost my job about 5 years ago, I downsized drastically.I am working again now, and have recovered enough to have a very nice system, but not as expensive as my old big rig of yesteryear.I do... | |
| Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have?????? You're not a serious audiophile if any of your 'boutique' cables/cords touch the floor. | |
| best integrated amp. Your buying integrated and dropping 7k! Are you looking for Audiophile reference reproduction or simplicity! My own opinion, and opinions are like belly buttons, everyone has one, but integrated electronics was cost reduction oriented! Provide... |
