| Arm & cartridge combo for Basis Debut ? Larryi - Well said! There certainly are no absolutes in audio, as we all hear differently and have different tastes and sensibilities.From the feedback I've received, it seems my current arm is not so bad. If A.J. likes it better than the Phantom,... | |
| Arm & cartridge combo for Basis Debut ? Samhar - Thanks for the info. At that price, I'll probably stick with a Graham.Syntax - My 1.5 has the tungsten sideweights, ceramic armtube & IC-50 tomearm cable, so it may lie somewhere between a stock 1.5 and a 2.2. Your description of the ... | |
| Arm & cartridge combo for Basis Debut ? Stanwal - I wasn't aware that a 1.5 could be upgraded to a 2.2. I'll contact Bob Graham and see how much it would cost. Thanks for the info. | |
| Internet Radio sounds better than ripped CDs. Why My IR experience has been that the dynamics are less compressed than my ripped files. Perhaps it's a case of my listening primarily to electronic ambient music on IR, which as the genre implies, lends itself to ambience. The volume levels between ... | |
| Internet Radio sounds better than ripped CDs. Why Thanks for the replies guys. I ripped the files in Apple Lossless using iTunes. I'm wirelessly streaming the audio from my PC to a SB3 using it's coax digital out to a digital input on my Integra 8.8 AVR, so I'm using the built-in dacs on the Inte... | |
| Anthem D2 or D2V New features like Dolby Volume for low volume listening will be able to be added to the D2v as they become available, but not the D2, according to Anthem Tech Support. | |
| Oppo-Integra handshake problem Thanks everyone!Horseface - I bought the Oppo from a friend. It was only a month old, and he bought it late 2008, so I'm assuming it's got the latest upgrades. I'll check to be sure though. Thanks. | |
| Oppo-Integra handshake problem I seem to have found a solution to my problem. Fortunately the Integra has 2 HDMI outputs. By using the secondary HDMI output to the TV, it allows the Integra to recognize the Oppo signal without the TV being on. Don't know why, but as long as it ... | |
| Oppo-Integra handshake problem Dlcockrum - Thanks for the suggestion. Just tried that and the Oppo plays fine. When I reconnect the HDMI cable, the Integra loses signal lock, so the problem lies in this connection.Now. . .can we figure out a work-around, since I need this conne... | |
| Ayre AX-7e or Edge G3? Arch2Thanks for the clarification. Like you, I've had tubes in my previous system, which consisted of VTL MB-125's using EL-34's. Pretty special sounding in the midrange. My upstream components were pretty special too, with the 3-piece dCS digital... | |
| Ayre AX-7e or Edge G3? Arch2,Thanks for your response. I actually read your review and thought it very helpful and enlightening. However didn't you say that after a while you found yourself listening less and less with the G3 in your system?I've been down that road myse... | |
| Convert Flac to Wav - how to & HD space need? Osgorth - Thanks for the info. It puts my mind at ease. | |
| Convert Flac to Wav - how to & HD space need? Cytocycle - Know of a program that will convert Apple lossless files to WAV? My friend is convinced that WAV sounds better than APLL. I go back and forth. If HD space isn't the limiting factor, I'm guessing WAV would be the way to go. Yes? No? I'v... | |
| Trying to get back into Lps, I seem to be throwing Powers55I was experiencing the same disappointment you describe, until Albert Porter properly set-up my Basis Debut/Graham 1.5/ZYX Airy 2 combo. It turned out neither the arm nor cartridge was sufficiently tightened down, thereby killing the bass ... | |
| Cart for Basis Debut/Graham? After letting the Shure break in for a couple of days, things are beginning to sound better. There's something to be said for patience. Sometimes my lack of it gets the better of me.The images are now more solid with more air around performers &am... |
