| Musiclink cables sound better reversed Thanks everyone. Maritime, right now I have the Rotel RC-1580 preamp and the RB-1590 amp. I had the RB-1075. I don't think I have the experience to compare the RB-1590 amp to other higher-end amps. But I think I know good, clean, fast sound. I am ... | |
| Directional interconnect cables I should add that I am using RCA all around. | |
| Directional interconnect cables Some folks sure like to argue, I am not interested in starting another one. I just have two questions:i have a Rotel 1580 preamp going to a Rotel 1590 amp. I use a decent cd player going into the preamp. I connect the cd player to preamp and pream... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? I am a Jack White fan. His solo of Dead Leaves in the Dirty Grass on SNL took my breath away, just electrifying. I could not get to sleep I was so pumped by it. But Lazaretto is the first time I have seen him imitate others, and it is sad. | |
| Any Rotel love around here? Looking to power my Sonus Faber Olympica 3 After auditioning the MF A5 and the NAD Masters Series five channel amps, as well as a few others, I bought the Rotel 1590. I own the 1075 as well. To my ears, the 1590 was far cleaner and had much more range and realism than the NAD and the MF am... | |
| Oppo Ceasing production Watch the movie “Idiocracy” and ask yourself just how different the society in the movie is from our prsent one. You will have your answer as to why a company that builds high-quality, fine equipment has a hard time staying in business. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? I am grateful for all the new music I have learned about on this forum. But, based on all the Robin Trower love here, I bought his Day of the Eagle CD, and I have to say that I am lost as to what is special about Robin Trower. Sounds like Hendrix ... | |
| A Love and Hate relationship - Ortofon I like some of the music from War on Drugs. But, no matter what I try, its music sounds flat and boring on my sustem also. It also seems to lack range. I think it is the sound production itself. Lots of other groups sound vivid and dynamic on the ... | |
| It's Simple I guess that is a long-winded way of saying that the higher quality my system is, the more a simple thing like a cable improves things, or the opposite. For my system and ears, I have found that to be a consistent reality. | |
| It's Simple I am fine admitting that I am no expert. But I have develped a theory of a sound system, which I describe as the “limiting variable” theory. It works for me. In my limited experience, my system will usually sound only as good as the quality of one... | |
| Infinity RS1B ? Buy or runaway I feel that Infinity is generally higher quality than most of Polk's stuff of recent decades, at least to my ears. But, spend more, even on used higher quality gear. In the end you will be happier, while having spent a little more once or twice,... | |
| If your system were a car! More like one of my motorcycles - a 2016 Yamaha FJR. Plenty of power, agile, comfortable, reliable, and not as expensive as a bike with comparable qualities by some makers. | |
| Roger Waters Amused To Death I have the CD that came out years ago. Recently bought a back-up copy. I agree that it takes a certain willing suspension of attitudes and disbelief, like most art does. I never interpreted the album as expressing anger at God - more like the way ... | |
| Does It have to be loud? When I want to evaluate a system, including when critically listening to my own, I like relatively low volumes. If a system can move me with range, speed and detail at lower levels, I feel it is working well for my tastes. Once in a while, I will ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Tomasz Stanko’s Dark Eyes album. This music breaks my heart, it is so beautiful. |
