| Tweaks to Add A Little Treble Emphasis... A pre-amp with good tone controls, a separate equalizer, and/or a speaker with on board adjustments is the way most people would address this. Pretty straightforward and flexible solutions.Nobody ever said audiophiles were normal though.Otherwise,... | |
| Looking for a compact speaker w/ some low end kick Dynaudio Contour 1.3mkII.No compact speaker I've heard can kick like a good bigger speaker, but these come pretty close and go amazingly low for their size. | |
| Internet Radio sounds better than ripped CDs. Why No doubt Internet stations can apply a variety of processing as desired.Loudness levels vary with IR stations but I find a significant # that normalize their material at a higher level than many or most CDs.NAtive CDs can ahave a range of average ... | |
| What of your CD's have good sonics? This tune off the surf music box set "Cowabunga"Shoot That CurlThe song sounds fantastic plus there is over 2 minutes of beach waves breaking sound effects at the end that might fool you into thinking you are out hanging ten with your eyes closed. | |
| Ayre vs Bel Canto? Adwiegart,I'd say the sound of the ref1000m2s in my system is not unlike what you describe. I do not detect any noticeable graininess if it exists and the low end is extended yet articulate and among the best I have heard. This model BC incorporat... | |
| Ayre vs Bel Canto? I have not heard Ayre, but tell more about what specifically you like and not about the BC in comparison to the Ayre and I might offer an opinion regarding how the ref1000M2 might compare. | |
| AC Outlet w/ Clairity, Trasparency, Bass Weight Choosing a well constructed outlet is a most reasonable thing to do to me to assure that a good connection is made. I don't think it is any more complicated than that.Auditioning different outlets, well, maybe if one really cares to be a pioneer i... | |
| Why not horns? "There isn't much finished product for sale under $10,000, even used. "That likely helps account for limited interest. Why talk about the benefits of something that few can afford to do well? | |
| Review: Ohm Acoustics Ohm Walsh 2000 Speaker Wudai,glad things are working out. Yes, a little volume is called for during the process of breaking the OHMs in fully. People who buy OHMs that do not believe in break-in are way more likely to be disappointed. | |
| AC Outlet w/ Clairity, Trasparency, Bass Weight "Auditioning an outlet" is a pretty funny concept when you think about it, even if there is some sonic signature attached somehow! | |
| AC Outlet w/ Clairity, Trasparency, Bass Weight OK, but I am waiting for the scientific explanation for why they sound different. I honestly have no clue on this one. I am generally able to understand why most parts sound different and even why power conditioning might make a difference, depend... | |
| We Need An Audiophile TV Channel I used to listen to Audiophile Audition on wlrh in Huntsville Alabama on Sunday afternoons on occasion years ago and recorded a few tapes off it.Is it still around? | |
| AC Outlet w/ Clairity, Trasparency, Bass Weight Do outlets really have well defined sonic attributes? | |
| Got $1000...how should I spend it? Jolida fx-10 tube integrated (new or used).Triangle Titus XS monitors (used)If you have a computer already you may still have money left for a mhdt Constantine DAC (used) as well.A refurbed vintage receiver or integrated is another good way to go. | |
| Why not horns? BTW, still no horns for me.I did not bid on the nearby Heresy's this past weekend mainly because my Triangle monitors are working out quite nicely in the sunroom at present so I was not motivated to pull the trigger to try something different. |
