| RS Jaco Cord Upgrade ? I have been wanting to get a used HZ Crown Jewel for my Maxim to replace the Mongoose cable for a couple of years, but they don't appear for sale that often and they do sell - I've missed out on several. I keep looking.The CH Acoustics X20 power c... | |
| Sony scd 777 es problems I do not own a SCD-777ES but do own an extensively modified XA-777ES and bought a 5400. The list price was half the list price of the XA, and it probably weighs half as much. It's made in Malaysia and not in Japan, and is not quite up to the same ... | |
| Balanced analog or HDMI from Sony 5400ES Good work - sound improved and zero money spent. Now that's a great day.Regards, | |
| Audio Note Kit 1 300b Also the Vaughn Triode III (powered bass) which has been demo'd at shows with Gordon Rankin's 300B amps.http://www.vaughnloudspeakers.com/Speakers.phpAnd I dare say that the Daedalus Ulysses at 98dB/w/m would be a good match, but I have not heard ... | |
| What CD sound is the best? For the Moody Blues album it is hard to go past the Mobile Fidelity - MFSL UDCD 576 UDII. But I also like the Deram PolyGram MCPS 820 168-2 made in West Germany. Both are miles ahead of the remaster, in my opinion; and ahead of the SACD, which is ... | |
| Replace Silver interconnect cable , please advice Damn! Thanks for picking up my error.Regards, | |
| Super Tweeters I heard the demonstration of the EnigmAcoustics Sopranino on top of Magico V3s at the California Audio Show and it was a nice improvement to the sound. We played a track without the super tweeter and then with it, and back again - did this on 4 or... | |
| Magico S5 vs Revel Salon 2 I hope by your comment you mean, can I look elsewhere in my system to make the changes rather than the speakers (rather than can I just take a hike!).Indeed. I would not be so rude to suggest the latter. But as Ptss said, tell us about the complet... | |
| Replace Silver interconnect cable , please advice Pelo911 has put his system up with some pictures. You can see that he has a very difficult room to work with and some experimentation with speaker location may help with the bass. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vevol&1351517525Regards, | |
| Objective vs. Placebo relating to system changes Good post, MinorL.Regards, | |
| Magico S5 vs Revel Salon 2 If you have an itch (and do I understand) can you scratch it somewhere else? The Revel Salon 2 are pretty damn fine loudspeakers.Regards, | |
| Balanced analog or HDMI from Sony 5400ES I run my 5400 balanced analogue to a BAT VK50SE pre (you have to - it has no RCA sockets) and it works very nicely. I like the JC-2 very much - and you will too. I believe the preamp takes quite some time to break in though.Regards, | |
| Replace Silver interconnect cable , please advice Something is possibly messed up. You have excellent components that should give deep bass down to the mid-30s, pinpoint imaging and an expansive sound stage, and should be lively and frisky as a young colt. If you had said it was too lively I woul... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? 11-03-13: Jwm writes:I'm not talking about comparing to the redbook layer in the same disc. I'm talking about comparing SACD to its RED book counterpart.The problem with that is to ensure the mastering is the same. That's why I gave you the Hoffma... | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill Taste may come into it, but the fundamental determining parameters are imposed by the tonearm. Since the Concept can come with the Clearaudio Concept MC, we could get a line on suitable cartridges from Fremer's review:The MC weighs 8gm and has a m... |
