| Upsampling - but seriously folks The technology is always worth knowing and understanding but in this case I would just listen and compare. Either way can be done well or not. What any individual will prefer soundwise cannot be predicted.FWIW I have both oversampling and non ... | |
| Magnetic isolation One thing I thought of that I saw pointed out on other forums is that magnetic fields and phono carts and associated low level phono lines do not mesh well together.Just something to be aware of. My guess would be tht there is not close enough pro... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Buying a Swiss amp is like buying a pair of Italian shoes. Very nicely crafted but not for everyone. There should be a very good reason to go that way because nobody has cornered the market yet on top notch sound or nice shoes. | |
| Synergistic Research Atmosphere Power Cords. Yes I agree the warm to the touch observation was a very useful one for clearly determining if things might be working better than they are.Also the comment about how simple commercial grade in house wiring seems to be up to the task as described ... | |
| What happened to the "club atmosphere" of Audiogon? Is there a union we can withdraw from because of this? 😳 | |
| Magnetic isolation Interesting product. | |
| Synergistic Research Atmosphere Power Cords. Would also seem to make sense that the wring in most homes must be well suited in this regard otherwise that would have to be the bottleneck and that mass produced wiring can't cost much in comparison to many audiophile products. So I gotta wonde... | |
| Synergistic Research Atmosphere Power Cords. Yes I seem to recall that discussion and does make senseat least for power amps. Thanks for the repost Al. For line level devices I suspect shielding is the most important factor. Pangea power cords seem designed with these two things in mind a... | |
| Synergistic Research Atmosphere Power Cords. Op yes I have been to Classic Audio Reproductions with Atmasphere amps room at Capital Audiofest and the sound was top notch although the small cramped room was a limitation most likely. | |
| Synergistic Research Atmosphere Power Cords. I’m interested in Atmasphere’s view specifically about what constitutes a power cord that works "very well" with his amps and some examples at various price points if possible.Any good quality power cord should "work well" I would think but if Ral... | |
| Synergistic Research Atmosphere Power Cords. Specifications with specific product examples that meet those would be great but I'll take anything objective to know one when I see one.What sounds like live music in a home environment is a totally subjective conclusion. Plenty of those to go... | |
| I have an uber awesome amp, why buy a speaker with a built in woofer sub-woofer amp Two good amps done right are better than one. Especially when bass is offloaded to one designed to do the job and enabling the other to shine even brighter.Of course one amp can do pretty well also but flat extended bass at high volumes requires g... | |
| The best separates between $2500-3000. Moving on from the original Rogue Sphinx Intg.. Jim thanks.FWIW the demo I had with Sphinx and Pharoah about a year ago was with larger newer Maggies, don’t recall which exactly. The Maggies were singing quite well with either but particularly with larger Pharoah. I did not get to compare with ... | |
| Synergistic Research Atmosphere Power Cords. Ralph,I'm curious what technically constitutes a power cord that "works very well" with your amps and what are the ones that work best at various price points?Thanks. | |
| Magnetic isolation Fec, You've peaked my interest. What magnetic levitation product are you using? I'd like to read up on it. |
