| Source for XRCD's or Blu-spec CD's You can go to Amazon and buy them. I get my Blu-Spec CDs from CD Japan: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/search3.html?q=blu-spec&step=20&r=any&order=score&media=They arrive as fast as CDs from Amazon and they're cheaper.I've bought a lot f... | |
| Using a 3A fuse in place of a 3.15A fuse? I have to correct my other post, Pass told me to get a 4A fuse just to be safe.I know that a lot of people like the Isoclean fuse, I used it myself for a while.I've since tried the PS Audio copper fuse, the HiFi Tuning gold and silver fuse, and th... | |
| Is AES/EBU the same as XLR? I believe the answer is whatever you want it to be, and whatever sounds good to you.The Virtual Dynamics digital AES/EBU was simply one of their balanced cables, and they worked fine.The Stealth Varidig Sextet is definitely not an Indra.Chuck | |
| Using a 3A fuse in place of a 3.15A fuse? If you're interested, I have a HiFi Tuning Silver Star 3A fuse sitting in the closet that I had when I auditioned the Pass XA30.5 amp for three weeks.I don't need it, my Spectron Musician III uses a 10A fuse, so I'm willing to sell it.Chuck | |
| B&W 805 Diamond or Dynaudio C1 ?? I believe that it would be in your best interest to find somewhere to audition the C1's.I owned B&W Silver Signature's for 10 years. I only replaced them because I wanted a change. I auditioned the C1's as well as Harmonic Precision Caravelle'... | |
| Voltage regulation George,Time out for a funny answer. Use the isolation transformer that you bought from me, I believe that it performs voltage regulation as a byproduct of the energy being stored and released.Chuck | |
| Led Zeppelen and Dire Straits Japanese SHM CD's I have to beg everyone's forgiveness for my first answer.After reading the positive posts, I went back today and put on David Bowie's "Aladdin Sane". It is a lot better than the 30th anniversary remaster. When I received the lot, I quickly listene... | |
| Led Zeppelen and Dire Straits Japanese SHM CD's Don ( Corby ),I am glad to hear that since I did take another plunge yesterday and ordered Black Sabbath's "Volume 4" and Uriah Heep's "Demons and Wizards".Chuck | |
| Led Zeppelen and Dire Straits Japanese SHM CD's Unfortunately, I have to agree with Ron (Rcrerar). I bought all of the old David Bowie SHM-CDs and I don't know that they're noticably better. I think that the Blu-Spec CDs are clearly better than the normal CDs, but can't say that for the SHM-CDs... | |
| What makes the Bloom around instruments . . . Byron,I didn't think that you were. There had been a lot of posts talking about the XA30.5 and I was trying to clarify to everyone that in no way was I referring to the XA30.5 as anything other than having that magical Bloom that I really liked an... | |
| What makes the Bloom around instruments . . . Bryon,No absolutely nothing else changed other than removing the Spectron and puting the Pass in its place.I don't disagree with you, my result with the XA30.5 seems to be contary to everyone else in the whole world, look how the reviewers rave ab... | |
| What makes the Bloom around instruments . . . I guess that a more specific explaination is in order here. It seems that there's a lot of confusion with what I said or how I said it.In my system, with my Wadia S7i directly feeding the Pass XA30.5 via $5,000.00 interconnects, then out to my $15... | |
| What makes the Bloom around instruments . . . Bob,You're right about my setup. The only difference between the Pass and the Spectron system was just the amps, everything else was the same.As far as the Spectron goes, I've not heard another amp that has matched it. My personal list of the high... | |
| What makes the Bloom around instruments . . . Thanks to everyone! Now my heads spinning trying to explain my thoughts about what the Bloom is to me.I have a soundstage that is detailed, wide, deep and layered. I think that the Bloom that I'm wanting is the glow or highlighting around each ins... | |
| What makes the Bloom around instruments . . . Rob (Rtn1) posted this to my system accidently and has asked me to move his thoughts to this post, if some of you don't know Rob, he is one of the ultimate audiophiles on Audiogon."Hi Chuck,If one deconstructs a single note played on an acoustic i... |
