| Back on Black: LED ZEP 1-3 Geoffkait...These 3 new remasters clearly do not sound like Mothership. To my ears, they are new mixes with excellent dynamics and separation of instruments. They have good detail in the bassline and a powerful sound from Bonham, something that Mo... | |
| Should I upgrade power cord for my preamp? Upgrading the PC to your preamp can make a huge improvement in performance. However, each aftermarket PC is different and it may take several attempts to achieve the timbre that pleases you. I believe cables should be thought of as a component in ... | |
| Top 3 Most Overrated Artists contest in R&R. How can you all be calling the Stones and Bowie overrated when there are terrible next generation bands like "Fall Out Boy" and "Maroon 5" selling millions of units. These bands have no style; they are formula bands that the record labels sell to ... | |
| Advantages of a tube CD player over an SS player? I would add that at the level of CDP such as the Ayre and Ayon, you would not experience the CD glare that we're so familiar with. It's a matter of which player's sonics do you prefer. | |
| Advantages of a tube CD player over an SS player? Sunnyjim, it's not the tubes that prevent "glare," it's the design of the master clock to prevent jitter. Poor jitter control is the primary cause of that "glare" sound produced by CDs. I'd agree with what Charles1dad stated, which includes the qu... | |
| How quiet is your Rogue Sphinx? Foster_9... "some noise from the balance is normal." Ridiculous statement, don't you think?I've auditioned several preamps and an amp and the only noise I've ever heard was some hiss, and that came from the type of tubes being used. | |
| How quiet is your Rogue Sphinx? My final thoughts on the matter...the transformer hum seems to be in the design and it's not a deal breaker. You'll only hear it when the amp is idle and maybe not at all from your listening position.However, no amp especially new and in spec shou... | |
| How quiet is your Rogue Sphinx? Big_katydid; Transformer hum does happen with some amps and you should try to find a device like the PS Audio Humbuster (which I believe is discontinued).As for the volume control related hum, I would send this unit to Rogue for warranty repair. T... | |
| How quiet is your Rogue Sphinx? The hum coming from inside the amp is likely coming from the transformer. Noise or distortion on the AC line from light dimmers, small appliances, refrigerator can cause this. The only way to know in this case is to remove your amp from a shared A... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl Mikelavigne has explained a major reason why analogue tapes are not used in the digital remastering or reissue process. Also, you would not want to risk damaging these tapes rewinding and fast-forwarding on the various tape machines during a remix... | |
| PSB Synchrony vs. Sonus Faber Cremona M Partialresponse, again I can only speak to the Synch One, but the soundstaging is awesome. 7 feet apart is recommended to start with and then play with toe-in and the spkrs will disappear and there will be a wall of sound. Imaging is excellent whe... | |
| PSB Synchrony vs. Sonus Faber Cremona M I have not heard the Sonus Faber Cremona M, but have auditioned the Synch One's. I would call it a pleasingly warm speaker, but not like the warmth of a SF.Yes, they have a Titanium tweeter which can provide an accurate image, but what is really a... | |
| Audience Conductor "E" or "SE" speaker cable? Hi Jazz, I'm enjoying your Audience Powerchord; my system really opened up with it. I'm now using one to the preamp and a 2nd to the ARC CDP.The AU24's are out of my price range; right now I'm auditioning some MIT Matrix 28's. | |
| Audience Conductor "E" or "SE" speaker cable? Sunnyjim, did you ever get an answer regarding the Audience Conductor "E" or "SE" speaker cables? I was going to post the same question, until I found your thread. It seems as if nobody is using these cables; I'm going to order a pair thru the Cab... | |
| Do you put as much effort into your Car Audio? Never again. Not worth the bother.Same here (living in the city). BTW, it was probably a crack addict. 10 speed bike sells for $20, car stereo who knows? |
