| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? In audiophiles??Gimme break neva! | |
| Melos SHA-gold photentiometer replacement DIY Agree with Manistory. You need to test with DMM to check a correctess of your DIY otherwise if you just turn it on, you'll have a large possibility to burn something in the circuit board especially with tube equipment. Also it's good to know what ... | |
| Old vs. New Pro Sound:I can say that when you enter the movie theater the sound now is much better than 25 years ago. Powerful live sound equipment for the concerts is much more superior to the 10 and 20 years ago. The recording equipment? Well, it's much mor... | |
| USB DAC Recommendation If you have dedicated PC for music that isn't connected all the time to internet without any OS updates you can keep everything the same. | |
| 803Nautilus or 802 MAtrix Series 3 ? I too believe that Matrix series are much more successful than Nautilus. More control, definition and better imaging. Nautilus is just more money for less performance IMHO. | |
| USB DAC Recommendation I haven't seen your budget, but Grace M903 might inspire you. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/741484-REG/Grace_Design_M903_m903_Reference_Headphone_Amplifier.html | |
| True Headphone AMP? If I were you I would still connect the headphone amp onto the tape(record) outs if you have such. I would not want my headphone amp depend on the preamp volume settings. If you don't want the signal go to the main speakers just use MUTE (once aga... | |
| True Headphone AMP? I learned that headphone amp or headphone jack off your preamp or any component needs to be synergised with headphones.I had used Consonance M20 tube headphone amp and it wasn't better than headphone jack off my Alesis ML9600 CD-player for AKG K70... | |
| Nana Vasconcelos? Codona band albums... I think in most of the projects where he's in you can't say that he's a sideman. Everybody seems to be on the same level. | |
| Need Recommendations for SS amp for 2 ohm load I'd probably have Krell KSA if I lived in Fargo area or above the border there instead of fire place:-) | |
| Who was the best jazz guitarist ever? Pat Metheny's is much more than jazz guitarist but orchestrator and great composer just like FZ.DiMeola is the master of the most sophisticated riffs on this planet.I can add to this crowd less known Dutch guitarist Jan Akkerman (Focus fusion band). | |
| XLR and RCA interconnects in the same system? I have'em all balanced now: Technoarm rewired to have balanced(just split the ground wire onto two and connect +,- and ground accordingly 2x2=?); Classe 30 phono inputs rewired to balanced as well; CD to preamp balanced from the beginning; Tape in... | |
| Question on small bass drivers in tower speakers Agree with JohnK, but in addition there are room and space considerations that do not dictate the large amount of air to be moved and shorter listening distance. | |
| Need Recommendations for SS amp for 2 ohm load 2nd to Sunfire600. Best technology, best price, best performance and best amp ever built by Bob Carver. | |
| Max length of IC's? Long IC's vs short SW Most likely the long unbalanced interconnects must be shielded(RFI safe) and it dictates higher per-unit capacitance. How much of the trebble will be rolled off? Probably not too significant. May even be more beneficial to the listener, but I 'gre... |
