| Request advice-need "brighter" speakers than Totem Hawks Turn your amp off and walk over to one of your speakers. Unplug the speaker cable from the binding post. Put them back on, but swap positions. Then do some listening. Your system will either sound a lot better or a lot worse. Make sure you reverse... | |
| Confused along the journey--opinions please " So now my point. While there were real audible differences between the Creek and Primaluna, the Manley Chinook may be more of a game changer."Assuming everything else is equal, the weaker the signal, the larger the effect outside forces have on... | |
| The new OPPO Digital UDP-203 question Why not ask Oppo? They're supposed to have good customer service. | |
| Pass Labs amps questions " My personal opinion about Pass Labs is they create stunning poweramps and create good pre amps. But not stunning ones, as they should be. They are not good enough."bo1972,I agree. My Pass amps were definitely at a higher level than Pass preamps ... | |
| Entry Level Interconnect Reccomendations " For XLR I go with the silver plated Neutrik's. Pretty much the top of the line in the pro world and still reasonably priced. The silver to silver contact minimizes issues going from one metal to another. "" I read a long time ago that mixing met... | |
| Heard the B&W N804d3s ... I didn't have time to get into this before, but there's a reason I asked you to listen to your system with the door open. A 9x10x8 room is very small, and is almost a cube. This poses some problems. The lower the frequency, the longer the sound wa... | |
| Is my Onkyo Receiver toast? Here's a few things to look at.Try listening through headphones. If you get the noise, it will eliminate the speakers.Check all your cables. Look for any type of damage to the cables and the connectors. Turn off all components that are not in use ... | |
| Jolida Fusion DAC/transport: opinions or other DAC/transport alternatives? If you go with a tube dac because you're trying to fix something like brightness in your system, it almost never works. You first have to determine what's causing the problem. It could turn out to be the amp, preamp or speakers. Its best to deal w... | |
| Heard the B&W N804d3s ... " As far as expectations, essentially I would like a bit more bass. I am happy with the speakers otherwise."Try moving your speakers around a bit. 6 inches to 1 foot from where they are now. Also try listening to your system with the door(s) open. | |
| Heard the B&W N804d3s ... " Mb1 audio ... to which speakers are you referring?"I wasn't referring to any specific speaker. I don't know anything about your tastes, electronics, room, .... etc. Personally, I think Vandersteen makes the best speakers, but it would be wrong f... | |
| Heard the B&W N804d3s ... 2 things to consider. First, to make a good comparison, you really need to listen to the new speakers in your room with your electronics. (Yes, I know that's not always convenient, but it is true.) Second, B&W's cost far exceeds the sound qual... | |
| 24 fps or off? " The reason to turn 24fps off is when you have a display device that has a problem with 24hz frame rates."24fps seems pretty low. Are you saying a TV that is able to display Blu Ray quality resolution may have trouble with 24fps? I'm not saying y... | |
| Jolida Fusion DAC/transport: opinions or other DAC/transport alternatives? If you want the best sound for your money, get an Ayre Codex and use whatever CD player you have now for a transport. It makes players like Marantz and Cambridge sound defective. You can drive an amp directly with it. | |
| Audio Alchemy DDP-1... anyone? If you're just listening to CD's, keep the Wadia, it has more going for it. If you can get the AA to demo in your system and you like it better, then fine, if you like it better based on a fair comparison, buy it. Unless you do a direct comparison... | |
| cd player rec Its time for a new player. You're chance for finding parts for something that old is pretty slim. Probably cost more than its worth. An entry level CD player from a company like NAD, Marantz or Cambridge should sound way better than your Luxman. |
