| Hifi racks with isolation I too highly recommend the Grand Prix Audio. Kennyt, regarding them being "flimsy", that's intentional to decouple vibration away from the shelves. | |
| DCS P8i direct to pwr amps sound quality. No I don't. My equipment is on a Gran Prix Audio Monaco rack which provides the system's mechanical isolation. | |
| DCS P8i direct to pwr amps sound quality. I traded my 390S for my P8i, much improved. See my response to Murrayp. | |
| P8i Users - Survey I switch between 3 and 4 and run balanced. I don't know about unbalanced since my cables are all XLR. I've tried direct into my ML 335, but prefer it best thru my ML380S. Cabling is Golden Reference. | |
| Smoother bass by running woofer out of phase? I had a similar problem that was solved perfectly by Rives' PARC. Well worth the investment, but make sure it's set up by someone competent, optimally using Rives' BARE system. | |
| Polarity Questions.. I had the same experiences that Gs5556 had. When actively A/B'g the difference is hard to discern. However, just listening and relaxing something not quite right. I used to own a 390S as well and sometimes after a power glitch, it would power up w... | |
| Is there such a thing as audiophile parametric eq? Yes, Rives Audio PARC it operates from 300 to 16 Hz in 3 bands and does a masterful job. I had similar issues and it worked. | |
| What time do you wear? Rolex Daytona, runs spot on! It had better. | |
| Watt/Puppies with SET or push-pull??? WPs draw lots of current in the low bass. I'm driving my WP7s w/ a ML 335. | |
| Regards to the Rack I've gone a similar route, investing several $Ks in a Grand Prix Audio Monaco rack. Very well worth it and the improvement was evident in back to back comparisons with Finite Elemente Pagoda, let alone what I previsouly had my components mounted on. | |
| First Post - The Long Road Back - Warning: Lo-Fi LOL, I too used to hang out at Stereolab, back to the 70's? | |
| Good CD Player for Mark Levinson amp + preamp Granted my recommendation is expensive, but having had a 380S, 390S and 335 combo for years, I just replaced the 390S w/ dCSP8i. Much better soundstage wideth, depth, detail, presentation...and that's on Redbook CD. With SACD, there's no comparison. | |
| Wilsons with Cardas or JPS? I have WP 7's too w/ Cardas Golden Reference, I'm very satisfied. | |
| Wilson watt puppy 6 vs. Sophia? I own WP7s. That said, I'd go w/ the original Sophias over the WP6s. Anyone who says that the WP have a tilted up high end and lack of bass energy has not heard them setup properly. They require extreme care in setup and are ruthlessly revealing o... | |
