| Listening Levels for Classical Music / Slightly electronic sound at high levels At this point, playing vinyl may be the way to diagnose this issue. Most modern pressings originate from digital production/mastering which does impart different characteristics than AAA. My advice; use a known high quality record from either an... | |
| Listening Levels for Classical Music / Slightly electronic sound at high levels Are you using any vibration control or isolation on your sources? You have a PSA dac, what is your source?I’m asking since the highs with orchestral music on my system resulted in a sizzle or digititis. I changed DACs and added a reclocker to lowe... | |
| Upgrade advice from old Cardas Quadlink 5 RCA Interconnects http://www.cardas.com/cables.phpAll of the Golden series has the original Cardas sonic signature; warm mids, lack of high-end extension, not a very detailed cable. Good for taming a bright system. I believe Golden Presence was top of the line with... | |
| Upgrade advice from old Cardas Quadlink 5 RCA Interconnects Have you checked the website to see how the new line of IC’s relate to the discontinued (Legacy) cables?For example, the Parsec is an improved version of the old Crosslink. It’s a bit more detailed with the same sonic signature. This would be a ho... | |
| Recommendations on what I should listen to with my new TIDAL account...... A word of warning regarding Tidal, their library of classical and jazz is not very deep. That’s why the 30 day free subscription is a good option. Tidal leans heavily to rock, pop, and hip hop. Don’t know about country. Qobuz is new in the US and ... | |
| My book shelves/ audio center. Yes, it could be the phono pre due to noise, lack of headroom. Records should have detail in the highs. If you start to enjoy vinyl, then make incremental upgrades such as better phonostage and cartridge. If you feel vinyl will be in your future, ... | |
| My book shelves/ audio center. @n80, I guess the answer regarding cones is "it depends." If the table and platter are heavy and built to specific tolerances, then cones would work to drain vibration from the TT. If your Sony is lightweight and made of plastic, then there may be... | |
| My book shelves/ audio center. Well done!!Looks like a good solution for a TT Isolation platform. I would suggest using some cones or similar hard footers directly under the TT, the sound will really open up. It looks like the table is sitting directly on the platform. | |
| A DAC that can make digital sound analog? depth of soundstage is compressed, the glass between me and ‘the event’ seems thicker and performers more pressed up agaianst it. glare cuts through at moments, glare also enlarges and distorts the scale of instruments....I suggest you use referen... | |
| Speaker Width? Is that a bong?? | |
| Speaker Width? You won't beat those Isoacoustic Gaia's, certainly not with Herbies sliders. The Herbies provide flexibility for positioning but the Gaia are superior for sonics. | |
| Speaker Width? That cabinet is killing any chance of good imaging and soundstaging. Start by using the Herbies Gliders and move the speakers away from the side wall and closer to the console. Then pull the speaks forward with possible toe-in.Your TT may need to ... | |
| Can I use just half the biwire? Don't leave them hanging. Double them up and use them on the speaker binding posts. You'll benefit from all the conductors being connected. | |
| Qubuz feedback and membership Plan Suggestions Thanks, all. I'm having more fun on Qobuz than on Tidal and Deezer. And it sounds damn good. I'm finding some really good classical and the cross-referencing of artists seems to work well. So why not listen in hires?I'll give the Studio plan a go. | |
