| Buchardt S400 Mk II vs Sony SSCS 5 in Bass Interestingly, before ordering S400 mk ii, the other two bookshelfs I had in mind are Special 40 and Confidence C1. I went through various reviews and the demo tracks and chose the S400 mk ii. From the tracks in the video listened with quality ear... | |
| Stupid Asking Prices- Why Don't Sellers Read Audiogon The Blue Book First? Don't say sellers are stupid. Look up the price over Audiogon Bluebook yourself. The pricing information is hardly available even for popular models. | |
| Buchardt S400 Mk II vs Sony SSCS 5 in Bass @dwest1023 Thanks but do not force it. When I tried to do the test earlier this night, I found neither woofer nor PR can be pushed in gently. I give up as I do not wish to damage the speaker. I am looking for weighty and nimble bass and I ful... | |
| Buchardt S400 Mk II vs Sony SSCS 5 in Bass Oh, agreed @grislybutter. I would like to have @dwest1023 test on his speaker, not the Pass int 250. The Buchardt has suspected one of my S400 Mk ii's internal is NOT airtight enough to the standard to push the PR well. I just want to confirm t... | |
| Buchardt S400 Mk II vs Sony SSCS 5 in Bass @dwest1023 I will appreciate if you could also perform the airtight / leak test as described above on your S400, and let me know how long does it take the woofer or PR to get back to its normal position / equalization of internal pressure. I ... | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) Apparently, Hoffman’s iron rule plays here but the trade-off seems too steep. I am on board with @jjss49 in regards to the sensitivity and the ability to use warmer, lower power amp with SP 10. Don’t know if this is a wishful thinking that someone... | |
| Buchardt S400 Mk II vs Sony SSCS 5 in Bass Maybe I was over reacted to the lesser wattage of my Parasound amp. I wrote to Buchardt and they also mentioned the amp is a great one and should not be a concern/issue. They were saying S400 is a neutral speaker aiming for flat response. The ... | |
| Buchardt S400 Mk II vs Sony SSCS 5 in Bass @dwest1023 That could be it. I see Pass 250 renders 500 wpc into 4 ohm and S400 is rated a 4 ohm speaker. I had Parasound A23 and NC 2125 v2. Both are high current rated 225 wpc into 4 ohm but maybe still not powerful enough to push the woofer a... | |
| Questions about Resolving Systems Steve, thank you for the educational information. This sounds a good diy project. | |
| Sold a component and bought it back, am I nuts? So, essentially OP had the brand new Naim 5si for $1,250. What a great deal. Also, no sale tax. What company / store is that? So far, I only know a UK company based in US carrying on-line merchandizes does not collect sale tax. A hint would be ... | |
| Sold a component and bought it back, am I nuts? What is the purchase price for new and how much you trade it in for? | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) @jjss49 Music Direct covers the return shipping IF the return is due to damaged / deflective items. But if the return is simply "don’t like it", the customer will be responsible for the return shipping. Their 60 days’ in-home auditioning policy i... | |
| Questions about Resolving Systems @williewonka, I was able to take a "one-time-only" peek at your response (via notification) but nothing was related to my question. This is a fundamental question related to the essense of your Helix design that, I believe, audiophiles desire to e... | |
| Questions about Resolving Systems @williewonka Steve, I really appreciate that you brought in the Helix design concept for the speake cable and audiophile diyer who experiments your idea gives a really favorable comments/reviews. I am inspired but wonder / not convinced one aspe... | |
| Seriously though, maybe the best tweak is exercise? This is one of BEST tweaks in audio listening I have ever experienced in addition to gear cleaning, air purification, moisture removals, ear cleaning and so on. It cures my ear TINNITUS (at least a few hours after my morning 5-10K run) and my min... |
