| Dynaudio Focus 140 vs Totem Model 1 Signature Ablang,On further reflection - while your review is really well written, I find myself completely disagreeing with your description of the Dynaudios - this is not how they sounded to me on an extended listen with high end ARC tube gear, which migh... | |
| Dynaudio Focus 140 vs Totem Model 1 Signature Ablang,Great reviews and interesting account. Thanks for the follow-up. | |
| Switch to silver for a treble boost? Douglas, thanks for the info.Carl, try the Caesarstone. There are two purposes I think for the platform:1. to increase the mass of the CDP and it's shelf in general to dampen outside vibration, and 2. to absorb high frequency vibration from the pl... | |
| Usher 718BE or Dynaudio S1.4 Mariusz, Thanks! It is a real disappointment to feel like you can't get a good demo - helps keep my money in my pocket. As the man says, dealers take note. | |
| Switch to silver for a treble boost? Douglas,What Speakers would you advise somebody to look at if they wanted greater emphasis on the upper registers and to add "treble sparkle and 'air'"? Focal? Monitor Audio? Something else with a metal tweeter? Maybe something with a ribbon tweet... | |
| Usher 718BE or Dynaudio S1.4 I write this "review" more to complain about how some HiFi equipment is set up and displayed than to say much useful about either of these speakers. I really like Dynaudio's house sound, at least for their entry level speakers including the Contou... | |
| quad 22L vs totem arro Do not recommend the Arros for your taste in music. Great speakers, just not meant to dig deep for rock. The Quads would be a better choice. Great cabinet too. Another choice in my book would be Dynaudio Audience 52 (bookshelf), 62 or 72. These sp... | |
| Apple vs PC for Music System Many people will tell you that the quality of your digital cable can influence what you hear and see too...but I think this discussion is directed towards digital conversion occurring inside the computer, rather than using a Mac or PC as a server ... | |
| Switch to silver for a treble boost? Carl109,I agree it wouldn't hurt to try this. Running silver wire all the way from your source to your speakers would have the greatest impact on sound. Signal Cable makes the cheapest all silver interconnects I know of http://signalcable.com/.Sec... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Rebbi,Will be curious to hear of your results. The cables will need some time to settle in as well, at least ~100 hours of continuous play or so. With that said, you should notice a difference right away with improved resolution. | |
| Spendor S8e, Dynaudio Focus 220, VA Grand Mozart After thinking about this some more and given your musical preferences, going over the reviews of the other speakers, and noting that your Anthem amp nearly doubles output to into 4 ohms, I think you should go with the Dynaudios. They will stride ... | |
| Power Cord Question Agree with all your points. I have done many things to my system and was happy with myself at first because I could hear a difference, but later on decided it was not a "good" difference and reversed the change or changed things again in a differe... | |
| Bookshelf speaker suggestions for Office Here is information from a previous post about new turntables, but these models or their previous editions are often available used for less money.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ymisc&1217893760&openflup&2&4#2Here is a rea... | |
| Spendor S8e, Dynaudio Focus 220, VA Grand Mozart Since I am at a loss for words right now, here are some comments from Michael Fremer of Stereophile Magazine regarding the Mozart's bigger brother, the Beethoven Concert Grand. I have listened to both, and suggest the Beethoven just sounds bigger,... | |
| Spendor S8e, Dynaudio Focus 220, VA Grand Mozart Other way around. IMO the Spender is more colored, not in a bad way, but perhaps a bit overly glorious - like a tubed speaker. The VA on the other hand is a very neutral but terrific sounding speaker through the whole frequency spectrum. |
