| Ways to improve DAC performance??? Thanks Steve. I really appreciate you taking the time to inform noobs like me about how to get things right for digital. That price isn't bad and hopefully in the near future I can demo one. Is there a trial period for your stuff?Thanks for your h... | |
| Ways to improve DAC performance??? I didn't realize I would start such a debate!So selling my Eastern Electric Minimax CDP with killer Siemens 7308 tubes was a bad move?Steve- I'd like to know how much one of your converters is? I only spent $250 on my Ross Martin DAC (very small b... | |
| Ways to improve DAC performance??? Hi fellas!Thanks for all of the replies. My apologies for not responding sooner. I didn't realize anyone even checked in- new Agon system doesn't notify of thread responses.Steve N- aka Augioengr: Could you please recommend a good external USB con... | |
| Clear Day cables vs. Morrow Audio Cables Hey Kbuzz,Paul made me a pair with the mini spades, and they fit the nickel screw connections perfectly on the back of my Fisher. I'm guessing Paul could not do this with a demo pair, but I know that if you decided to buy he would terminate your p... | |
| Clear Day Interconnects I've had a pair of Paul's ICs for about 5 months now, and they easily outclass other IC's I've had by XLO, anticable, Morrow Audio, and another pair of boutique silver ICs I tried and returned. And the pricing is ridiculously reasonable for what y... | |
| Clear Day cables vs. Morrow Audio Cables I've owned a lower end pair of Morrow Cables, Rick Straley cables, Anticables, and Cardas cables that retail for twice the price of the Clear Days.All I can tell you is that in MY SYSTEM, which has tube based amplification and very revealing North... | |
| Tube based surround sound amp??? Thank you friends, for all comments and advice.Mik- I know it is a step backwards- but downsizing usually is...Could anyone comment on whether it's possible to connect a surround processor (e.g. the Emotiva suggested by RW) to my vintage Fisher? I... | |
| Subwoofer connection for Fisher 500c Thanks for your response Lloyd.My speakers are smaller monitors- Sound Dynamics RTS-3's, though the bass cutoff isn't too high-probably around 45 or 50 hz.I must say I did figure out how to get the sub running with them, but there are two things t... | |
| Christmas Music and Audiophiles? Harry Connick has a great Christmas album, can't remember the name off the top of my head, but the recording quality is pretty decent and the songs are consistently good. Some standards and some New Orleans jazz stompers.Also, a sentimental favori... | |
| Is blending power tube brands recommended? Thanks for the input, everyone.The 500c is autobiasing, and honestly, I wouldn't know how to check the bias on it if I wanted to. I should learn more about that!After doing a bit more research on 7591 tubes, it appears that just about all of the o... | |
| Your experience with Cardas SE9 as speaker cable? Pmboyd,I didn't get cold forged. Thought it too pricey since I might change amps at some point down the line, and Fisher requires special spades (which Cardas did have). Maybe I will reterminate later??Besides reality cable, I've tried anticable s... | |
| Your experience with Cardas SE9 as speaker cable? Just got a pair last week per Bobby's recommendation. I also have Merlins- TSMmmis with regular RCs. I was using Greg Straley's Reality cables before, which were pretty good. First impression is that the Cardas SE 9s are better, but they've only g... | |
| best position of components in relation to spkers? Hi all! Again thanks for the great discussion. Jafox, my own intuition, couple with practical limitations in my listening room (possible furniture position variables, WAF, and cost of super long SCs or ICs) has quelled my initial curiosity to chan... | |
| best position of components in relation to spkers? Well, at this point I'm persuaded to experiment myself and see if a side wall placement of components really does make a difference. To Sebrof, please let me know how it worked out in your case please!And one other request to you all.... can anyon... | |
| best position of components in relation to spkers? Thank you to all for the quick and insightful responses! I've got a full size couch facing the speakers and a love seat on the lefthand wall. And the righthand wall has storage shelves and a toy chest. It's a bit congested. : ) So I am very tempte... |
