| The color of audio and ambassadorship I wouldn't say I try to convert them, I just simply answer any questions and let them hear a difference for themself. Conversion is on them. I do find that once they hear a difference they seem genuinely interested and want to know more, and I'm h... | |
| The color of audio and ambassadorship Yes, Rrog, I fear you are correct. | |
| The color of audio and ambassadorship Wow. I didn't realize there were so many cynics here, but I guess I should not be surprised, it is a lonesome sport. I guess we shouldn't be surprised when the hi end stores close and the music quality goes completely to pot, nobodies out there pr... | |
| Purist Audio Break In - Venustas Ah, good to know Dhcod!! Thanks. | |
| Purist Audio Break In - Venustas What would happen sonically if the speaker cables were install backwards, meaning the tag was at the speaker end vs the amp in? Could this contribute to brightness? I'm thinking maybe I had them installed the wrong way when I was auditioning them. | |
| Blackness - how quiet does it need to be? "I knew that some recordings have a lot of processing but I never knew that lots of recordings have white noise pumped into them."The hiss I'm talking about is only on a few select cd recordings of older music. Like my Miles Davis, Kind of Blue HD... | |
| Blackness - how quiet does it need to be? Thank you Kijanki. I do believe I get the gist in what you are saying. Since there can only be jitter when a musical signal is present, then noise can't be heard as a "hiss" per say, but as distortion on some level in the music reproduction. | |
| Blackness - how quiet does it need to be? I'm trying to understand the concept of the CDP contributing to noise while playing vs. when not. How would one hear this noise while the CDP is playing? In my case it's a transport to DAC. What I do know, is that on high quality hi'er res materia... | |
| Purist Audio Break In - Venustas Good to know, thanks | |
| Purist Audio Break In - Venustas Jfrech,I have the Venustas praestosSeems like its settling down but I only have 12 hours on them | |
| Purist Audio Break In - Venustas Sorry Jfrech, my fault, these are speaker cables. I just realized I didn't mention that anywhere.Syntax,I wouldn't have thought there would be a big change either, but it was quite obvious when the first song came on. | |
| Purist Audio Break In - Venustas Jfech,By "source" I mean from where the signal comes from. In this case the amp is the source of the signal in relation to the speaker cables. I know the true source is the DAC however. | |
| Purist Audio Break In - Venustas Syntax,I bought the Venustas because when I borrowed them from the Cable Co they where not bright in the system, in fact they were perfect for me - no brightness at all. My personal set came in yesterday and it doesn't sound the same, it sounds br... | |
| Purist Audio Break In - Venustas As for the right direction, I have the label end of the cable on the amp (or source) end as the instructions say. I'm sure they will settle out, but I didn't know if the extra length might be the culprit of the brightness or that the cable just ne... | |
| Review: NAD m51 DA converter I use the built in volume control of the M51 strait to the amp - no preamp. I found the presentation of the music much more open and less veiled when going strait to the amp from the DAC. One note though, I use XLR to the amp from the preamp. When... |
