| Subwoofer: should we even use them at all? I just received my Parsifals last week. I thought they were bass shy initially too. But since the bass is back facing getting the distance right from the back wall makes all the difference. Inches too close and it's boomy, to far and it feels lack... | |
| Cardas Golden Cross no longer offered by Cardas ? Overall, I think the current trends of more revealing/fatiguing products selling at vastly inflated prices is killing the audio industry. It's been many years since business school, but higher cost + lower long term satisfaction doesn't seem like ... | |
| Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers? I know I'm wearing out my welcome but here's another big update. I became increasingly dissatisfied with the sound as things burned in rather than more as I'd expect. I suspected the speaker wire itself might have been damaged in the power surge. ... | |
| Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers? Wow - just replaced the XLR with Purist Audio Musaues's RCA's. Major tonal difference. Tonal balance is now perfect with high's still as detailed but beautiful sounding with much more authority and control overall. Mids are even better.Even with t... | |
| Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers? How do they sound? Since my equipment is in transition right now, the electronics I'm using are clearly not up to speakers of this class. But there were some tentative generalities I've been able to gather even at this stage. First of all I'm usin... | |
| Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers? Just received the Parcifal Ovations yesterday. First of all I was VERY impressed with the heavy duty shipping cases they came with. So well padded and heavy duty they almost seemed UPS proof. And the fact that Verity kept the shipping weight to ju... | |
| Your favorite musical non fatiguing speakers? Bjesian, I haven't received them yet but are expecting them tomorrow (Tuesday) sometime. I'll definitely report back once I've had some time with them. | |
| Need "warm" interconnects advice I auditioned probably 30 different interconnects from the Cable Company to give my slightly bright Cary Audio speakers more warmth and authority. The Purist Audio Museaus's were head and shoulders above anything remotely close to their price range... | |
| New OPPO DAC/Headphone AMP looks impressive The $60 Sony speakers are horrible sounding in general. Irritating tweeters, non-distinct boomy bass, nothing really positive. We're used for temp rear speakers in a 7.1 setup. But I left the HA-1 to burn in for about 15 hours so far and there are... | |
| Verity speakers for $7k or less? I've never been a detail is king kinda guy. This is why I gravitate to the Cary house sound in the first place. But the rest of my system is tilted to the warm side with Cary electronics and Purist Audio Mueseus speaker wire, interconnects, etc. I... | |
| Verity speakers for $7k or less? Darn - I guess I have to unbox the SLP98's for sure now. Hopefully since I like the Cary sound to begin with, I would expect a well regarded $20k speaker to be transparent enough to serve up that sound without too much addition or subtraction in a... | |
| New OPPO DAC/Headphone AMP looks impressive Finally got mine in the mail. Sadly waiting on the speakers so all I have in the house are Sony $60 pr from Walmart speakers. Wouldn't dare comment on SQ given no burn in and speakers. But it's very nicely designed with excel lent build features a... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream I guess a tad soft and not the most extended in the treble plus great depth describes DSD/SACD sound in general. This is why it reminds us of the old time turntable/analog sound. Since the DS up converts everything to DSD this shouldn't be too sho... | |
| Verity speakers for $7k or less? I might have to unbox the GLP 98 after all. I know it excels at warmth and sweetness over ultimate detail - and the Verities like detail. But it could be very good anyway. I'm past the point of obsessing over maximizing the performance of my audio... | |
| New OPPO DAC/Headphone AMP looks impressive Good points. I'm just looking for a quality DAC for the stereo rig. Doesn't have to be portable. But I do want whatever will sound best overall. The feature that the gate arrays can be reprogrammed/updated is appealing. You have to wonder to what ... |
