| Musicial Fidelity 3cr vs. 3.2cr Preamps I think main improvement was "additional" levels choke regulation for power supply is used with 3.2 vs 3 resulting in improved signal to noise figures, less distortion etc.I personally prefer the gold trim of the A3, especially detail around large... | |
| Problems with MF A3 CD Player We had a couple threads here recently talking about static electricity in the winter, A3 has metal buttons etc. Try touching shelf/audio rack before touching CDP controls to discharge static when you change CDs.......not sure if this is causing yo... | |
| How tall are Daruma isolators? Also if you prefer to use wood riser/spacer pads in local home improvement center go to wood molding section you will find hardwood trim boards 3 x 1/4 and 3 x 1/2 dimensions that you can easily cut into 3 x 3 pads. | |
| How tall are Daruma isolators? I wouldn't remove the feet of CDP, too much trouble and may be more complicated task than you think. If you want to use Daruma's just put some type of "spacer" pad under them till they are high enough to fully clear CDP feet.There are all kinds of... | |
| static electricity Very useful thread, along with other similar "shocking" one here recently. I had a minor intermittent problem recently with CDP and it turns out static electricity seems to have been the culprit during winter months when changing CDs often. (fully... | |

| Experience with Caig's ProGold G5? TAS really loves Pro Gold G5, I do use it on AC cords & speaker cables but prefer Kontak for ICs. I never experienced the "wow" difference some claim, just very small positive worthwhile improvement.I see new breed of expensive contact enhance... | |
| Suggestions for the best DAC under 1K Bel Canto Dac 2 for $800-900 used would be very hard to beat........I would take this over Musical Fidelity Dac and I am big fan of MF gear. This is well known time tested and often reviewed Dac (soundstage award winner) there are always relativel... | |
| About the EMM Labs DAC I was able to hear member Larry's (gasman above) new Meitner Transport/Dac in his fabulous home reference system and it was silky smooth/relaxed yet extremely revealing of the finest details.....best I have ever heard his system sound.The ticket t... | |
| How many audiophiles bi wire their speakers???? There are no universal truths here, there can be noticable improvement bi-wiring but it depends on the crossover design of each speaker, some benefit more others hardly any.Even when benefits are realized you have to determine if they are greater ... | |
| Rhapsody in Blue - Which one? I think any CD collection has to start with the old warhorse Bernstein/Sony 1959 coupled with equally great "American in Paris". There are countless versions out there many very good, but the bar has been set by Bernstein and everyone else is tryi... | |
| Grills OFF or Grills ON ??? Currently have 4 sets of speakers and do all listening with cloth removed........have no pets or small children in home.Seems to be obvious that a cloth however sheer between your ear and speaker driver has to have some negative effect on sound tr... | |
| Picture of new Von Schweikert VR4-JR Glad to see the "total sock" speaker cloth is gone, looks like they plan to use conventional cloth panel like other VSA speakers.....although nothing really shown in news release. Also has slimmer width by going with multiple 7" bass drivers which... | |
| Sub crossover setting.... I might add there are much more scientific ways of doing this using sound level meters and test CDs as some have mentioned above, but the quick method I just described works very good for me.Once set I keep the crossover point constant for a given... |
