| The best speaker you ever heard? What's comical about this 13 year thread is that EVERY speaker mentioned can also be one of the WORST speakers ever heard with improper associated gear.Forget about front-end source electronics or even the preamp. Just the amplifier alone could to... | |
| Amplifier is now off the Power Conditioner Any amp of decent power that sounds better plugged into a power conditioner should be sold ASAP.That may be a slight bit of hyperbole, but ask any reputable amplifier designer if you should plug their product into a conditioner. The answer will be... | |
| BPT 3.5 Power cable need help Why wouldn't you use BPT's 20 amp cord?I've had a BPT 3.5 for prolly 10 years now (whenever they first started and got the rights to Plitron transformers). I use their power cord, which is 20amp and it's also quite flexible for it's size.Unless yo... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Funny to read this thread about autoformers. Probably 6-7 years ago, I added a McIntosh SS amp to my arsenal that uses autoformers. At the time, I was also using Steve McCormack's platinum modded amps too. I compared them and shared my thoughts wi... | |
| Magnepan DWM problem I'm willing to bet that the "slap" occurs around 200hz which is at the crossover point of the DWM.There isn't much you can do about it and a sub is not going to help it at that frequency.There's no reason Magnepan shouldn't be able to address this... | |
| New Orleans high end stores? Wilson audio is by far the best place for quality gear and Doug's reference room will routinely compete against anything out there. BtW, he still uses BC1s in his own setup. Few people know Spendor, Maggie's, and ARC gear better in terms of sound.... | |
| Impressed with Tubes Atmasphere,Not sure if your reference is to Steve McCormack (ie. mfg of transister amps), but I know he also recently tried the autoformers to very good success. I think he is going to use them at CES and promote their use on his website, so I don... | |
| Shanling CDT 100 - considering adding a DAC You could have it modded, but make sure it is done right.I had my SACD Shanling seriously modded awhile back and it was well worth the money (i.e. No wishes to further upgrade since then, even after hearing EMMlabs and others first hand).That bein... | |
| Best and Worst sound at the CES Show 2004 I agree with Keithr. The Vandersteen/Joule room was very impressive. In fact, many rooms mentioned in this thread I agree with. Purist seemed like it had some room issues in the bass, but otherwise was excellent. Wilson and VTL stuff may not alway... | |
| Help me decide b/w a Stealth XXX or a BPT 2.5 Sammie, I doubt you'll need to "grab another AM conditioner" for your Ayre products since they are already designed to negate AC problems. Many times, the perceived effectiveness of an AC conditioner is actually an indictment of the components con... | |
| Best equip stands So...if I follow correctly...an audio stand experiences mechanical break-in which signficantly improves the sound of the equipment sitting on it after 4 days because:1. Automobiles experience break-in2. Cables burn-in3. The End Pin for a Cello cau... | |
| Best equip stands Stehno...I don't really follow you, but you're absolutely right.."I cannot attribute any experiences to mechanical break-in improvement"...That's why I asked the question... I'm pretty darn certain no one can, since it doesn't exist or would be cl... | |
| Best equip stands The automobile "break-in" in the first 500 miles you refer to cannot be related to an audio equipment rack. Automobile "break-in" is actually a misnomer if called that. You're talking about a complicated device with fluids, many moving parts, cons... | |
| Best equip stands Stehno...I think I may have asked this before...I'll try again since I must've missed the reply...What is this "mechanical break-in" you're talking about?Are you seriously implying that an equipment rack changes molecular structure everytime you m... | |
| Power cord to add ease and tame treble. Like a few have mentioned... A power cord is not going to solve your problems.Here's part of what I think your problem is...Your preamp is not a good match for your amp. I believe Stereophile reviewed your preamp and the most useful part of those ... |
