| Upgrade phono cable for new Project DC Carbon TT? You need to use an IC with a low capacitance. You can use an IC and attach a ground cable from your tt to a ground on your preamp, but sonic results will vary if the capacitance is not a match. Blue Jeans Cable sells ICs for TTs.The Ortofon Blue 2... | |
| Hear sibilance on Krall, Famous Blue, D. Fagen? I'm suggesting a variation of Al's cable troubleshooting by going right to the source. Even though you own a middle of the road CDP, I've seen good reviews. | |
| Hear sibilance on Krall, Famous Blue, D. Fagen? (Zd, he has a system page). For the hell of it, try playing the CD thru the Music Hall CD 25.2 CDP only. Your M1 may have a superior DAC and clock, but jitter may be introduced thru the path of the cable. | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? Mapman, I can't thank you enough for the info provided. My #1 question has been answered... can I enjoy realistic classical music, specifically symphonic with the Ohms. I have a season package for the Phila. Orchestra, so I know what live music so... | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? One last question...I'd like some clarification on some aspects of the Ohm's. They project a wide, deep image where the soundstage is at the front of the room. The instrument position; eg, a guitar, is constant while the listener moves in space.No... | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? Mapman, I'm not limited to low volume listening by any means, but I wanted to get a sense of how they perform. Low volume is the Dynaudio's weak spot; just like you said, the lows and the highs are not as present. I read that the Ohm driver can be... | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? Thanks, Polarin. We're all critical listeners at times, but I think you made your point. I'm not looking for a detailed speaker with crisp highs (as so many modern spkrs are). I'm looking for a natural presentation where I can enjoy symphonic musi... | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? Thanks, Mapman for such well thought-out information. It makes me want to hear some symphonic music thru the Ohms. I have good power conditioning and a high power/high current amp with the Sunfire, so driving either speaker is no problem. The only... | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? Listened to the Dynaudio Focus 340, a B&W CM floorstander and PSB Synchrony One which I home auditioned, but was too big for my room. Focus 340 was my fav, but will be too large for my room.In another shop, listened to Dali Mentors and Rega RS... | |
| Better than the Project Carbon TT for $ 500.00 Wolf...good storage practices; low humidity, records stacked vertically? Or is it that we worry too much about the longevity of a vinyl record? | |

| Modular Room-w/in-a Room HT? Think's a good idea? Agreed. That's why recording studios are built that way; with sonics the priority and keeping out external sound. Those rehearsal rooms are not concerned with keeping the true sonics of the instrument, the concern is a quiet room inside and out. ... | |
| Cudos to Brent Jesse You can tell he loves his work. He returns email inquiries quickly and his tube advice is invaluable. One time he told me not to order until the following week when he'd be back home with some fresh stock. | |
| Modular Room-w/in-a Room HT? Think's a good idea? I think the concept is sound; a room within a room, like a recording studio. Can you consult with a general contractor who has built recording studios? I think any prefab unit may be expensive and may not completely fulfill your needs. How large i... | |
| Modular Room-w/in-a Room HT? Think's a good idea? The Black Cat Wenger is designed for music, but what is concerning is the tonality of the room as stated; "Nine different acoustic simulations provide acoustic settings of a variety of different practice environments; from Arena to Cathedral." and... |
