| Whats playing on your system today? Van Halen first thing in the morning?!Aerosmiths greatest hits for me last night.Sounded better than I thought it would and was just plain fun:-) | |
| Towers vs stand mounts with dedicated stereo subs? flavo with the dimensions of your room being practically exact doubles (6.5+6.5=13) (13+13=26) and 28 ft long you have some serious standing waves.The bass will never be optimal without room correction software and/or better room treatments.GIK wi... | |
| Popular new/used SS stereo power amps under $2500? Parasound amps are both warm and fast.My brother has one that replaced a Krell that was fast but sterile/cool.After finding the best cables to compliment your system it may be exactly what you're looking for. | |
| A brief review of 15 high-end speakers on home demo including B&W, Boenicke, Magico,Wilson This really is an excellent thread.It's incredibly helpful for folks that don't have dealers to help navigate through the various brands. | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! Quick update - I gave the system a day off yesterday after reaching the 50+ hour mark.Today lo and behold....those Analysis Plus spcs are beginning to open up and lose the veil.They definitely need some time and a patient owner. | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! @decooney I think we have similar tastes.I like a lush and organic sound also.I feel I'm 95%of the way to my goal of an organic detailed sound.I'm going to try a Teo gc junior next week and see what happens.If that's too over the top euphonic th... | |
| RCA to XLR - How bad are the current crop of adapters ? I've used Neutric adapters with no ill effects.$8 from Parts Express. | |
| Interconnect Directionality The very long discussion was on the PS Audio forum.Sorry I misremembered!It is mysterious and always something new to learn:-) | |
| I give up ..acoustic treatment for room with vinyl plank flooring I agree with Erik.Forgo the rug for now and treat the ceiling along with any wall/corner treatment.GIK will consult with you for free.As a certifiable dog geek, the most effective way to train any animal is by the four quadrants of operant conditi... | |
| Interconnect Directionality If you want to make your head explode read about Iconoclast Cables.There is a long thread on AudioCircle and a couple of reviews on Audio Bacon.The three styles of Iconoclast cables are made exactly the same and measure exactly the same.The only d... | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! Thank you for posting @decooney .I have no answers but I'm very interested in your impressions.I'm still letting my speaker cables and one ic break in.I'm hoping the sound opens up more but if not maybe a second ic (what brand to choose?) will do... | |
| Speaker Imaging - Do you hear a line, or do you hear an arc?? Depending on how my speakers are set up I either have a shallow arc or one that extends beyond the wall outside.The latter is if the speakers are on the floor instead of stands and I sit on the floor in the sweet spot.I'm guessing it has to do wit... | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror Congrats!It is a fine dac for sure. | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! Just received the speaker cables today and ran the system for around 4 hours before listening.My initial impression is the sound is on the warm dark side,somewhat veiled,but with layer upon layer of detail.Everything is there but without sharply d... | |
| High Fidelity Cables MC-0.5 Effect I've joined the MC club today also.It's only been plugged in for a couple of hours but already having a positive effect.Mostly by a more realistic ambiance as others have stated.A bit of a glaze on the upper bass which everyone claims will clear... |
