| confused about Bel Canto Products goldprint got it right from what I have read. | |
| When a Reviewer "likes" something IT depends on the reviewer. A lot is based on trust. If a reviewer has a good track record over time, it means something. The product being reviewed is likely viable or competitive at a minimum. Whether it would work best for you or not or if you ... | |
| Good dac to reproduce soprano vocals? Any decent DAC should be up to the task. One thing I have found does particularly well with vocals in my system is DNM Reson ICs from DAC to pre-amp (and from pre to power amp as well if applicable). I can easily understand most all vocals in any ... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? "You've traded off noise and hum protection to gain in capacitance and impedance. "Actually, I did have noise/hum issues from external EM fields with low level phono step up transformer device itself. I put that device (with DNM ICs running from i... | |
| Listener fatigue: what does it really mean? Mihorn, That's a unique way of breaking things down that I had not heard or thought of before applied to home audio. I have some background in geology (though it s been awhile) and the concept of P and S waves as they relate to seismic waves rings... | |
| Amp suggestions for $1000 Well, if you want to experiment, I would think a decent used tube amp for the DeCapo's is what I would look for. Not sure what one might find for $1000, but Jolida, Rogue, PrimaLuna, or Decware or something along those lines might fly.Ot try an ex... | |
| Lottery Winner would buy what kind of Stereo Gear Would have to buy a house and room to put it in first, then see. I would start out with what I have but definitely be curious about how I might improve if money is not an object. I would not just blindly go and spend another 10s of thousands or mo... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? Jimmy/Rower, can either of you explain to me why the fairly unique minimalist designed DNM Reson analog stereo phono plug ICs that I use and like in so many ways sound as clean coherent and lively as they do? They essentially look like old style 3... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? 2 gurus -> 2 directions. A limited sample no doubt but extrapolate anyway and why there might be 300 becomes clear.And that only includes people who might actually know something about this being in scope.Just stick some flying saucers on the w... | |
| Listening fatigue Agree that clipping is a likely significant factor with most any SS amp of that power rating and most better modern smaller speakers. | |
| Bryan Adams nice Bryan Adams is a very talented guy and gets an undeserved bum rap by many IMHO. Check out his MTV Unplugged recording! Sterling sound and performances. The version of "Summer of '69" on there is outstanding, much better than original for me and th... | |
| Thump noise on the lead in on warped LPs Turntables are tricky things to get set up optimally. Warped records are always a problem, but more so with some setups than others. Others might correct me, but if you hear the thump noise frequently regularly even with just modestly warping in t... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music "Creep"....good one! | |
| Bandwidth Limitations Of Class D Amps?? " But to be honest, I only have about $65k-$70k in my system, I don't have a high-end system."That's funny!If Class D amps are even in the discussion for a system in this price range, high end or not, I would say that's another good indicator that... | |
| Why are we going 300 or more directions? I like Jneutron's statement earlier that it is design that matters, not cost. A good mantra for any decision making process involving technology! |
