| What do you think of this power cord? Bob, I see the unenlightened out in full force telling you that power cables are a waste of money and to go eat ice cream!Power cables do make a difference and although I have not heard them, Audio Envy get great reviews. Consider a used cable to ... | |
| Does the first reflection point actually matter?? Hi Erik, there is a lot of well meaning advice being offered but most of it ill informed. This whole thing is a science with specific goals. Some posters claim that they adjust the toe-in of their speakers and everything sounds fine. Useless info... | |
| Fuses and confusion @ squeak_king_77 No problem, you are someone I would welcome feed back from. I have just one SR Blue in my DAC. I had 3 such fuses at one time but found the detail resulted in a slightly over the top edge to the sound. Certain female vocal would ... | |
| Fuses and confusion @ squeak_king_77 This is regarding a stock fuse and remember I mentioned trying to trick my wife by not reversing the fuse and she was expecting to hear a change for better or worse but admitted that she couldn't hear any difference on that occas... | |
| Fuses and confusion Either this thread is dead or the doubters have taken up my challenge and are too embarrassed to admit that there is a difference. | |
| Fuses and confusion Fuses do make a difference. I say again, fuses do make a difference. For those of you arrogantly stating that we are wasting our money, get over it. I am interested in finding out which fuses work best with different fuses and every time I read a ... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) Hi hilde45, you mentioned, I think that you only hear to 14KHz. I only hear to 12K but it does not matter. The very high freq's are harmonics and for realistic sound it's essential that the tweeter is able to reproduce them.Transients are rich in ... | |
| Speaker shootout update; aggressive treble eliminating some (fairly?) There have been some good suggestions here. I recommend you become familiar and comfortable with REW. It is a positive step in the right direction. Also free and really useful is HolmImpulse I am using Omnimic from Parts Express but is not free, ... | |
| DAC choices -- help me cross the line If you are content to just play redbook CD consider an older unit like Wadia 15. This uses what has been claimed as possibly the best R2R architecture with the PCM63. As was mentioned previously, you could buy one for about $1000 and sell it for h... | |
| My #@%$ Cat Destroyed My ARC REF 5SE. Soliciting Suggestions. That is very bad luck. Repair should be possible though, but finding the right person to do it will be difficult. Have you considered replacing it, even temporarily, with something different while waiting for a used one at the right price.I use a ... | |
| Threshold, Levinson, Bryston, Krell, ?others? used amps Another shout for a Mark Levinson 23.5 and also the 27.5. I own both. They will hold their own against many modern amps costing many times more. But? These monsters are now ancient and need servicing and probably recapping at great additional expe... | |
| What's the best non-DAC streamer? I attended the XFI Premium show in Holland last year where Aurender and dCS were sharing a room. Being interested in the dCS Network Bridge I waited for a turn to speak to the rep. and whilst chatting the Aurender rep joined us and to my astonishm... | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? At the XFI Premium show in Holland last year I heard Spatial sounding good and also PAP (pureaudioproject) I spoke to the owner/designer Ze'ev from Israel at length. He produces a 2-way open baffle design with the ability to swap the high frequen... | |
| Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ?? I have never owned a Vandersteen speaker but I am very familiar with them. Way back an old customer/friend of mine opened a small audio outlet and stocked the Vandy range, his biggest sellers. He often called me to deliver and install speakers he ... | |
| Feeling Tweaky @ skyscraper, you state: Acoustic room treatments that would affect room decor are unfortunately out of the equation.When I read this I obviously, and incorrectly, assumed it was voltage/current from the wife but you later disclose you are a wid... |
