| Listening to digital and analog A few years ago, I spent 3 days in rapt attention listening to a mid 6 figure computer sourced (using Master Class soft wear) helping with a room at THE Show in Las Vegas (Daniel Hertz).It was about the most amazing SQ I have ever experienced.Howe... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? The SQ of my current Class D amp is the most emotional I have experienced without any other even coming close.Maybe it’s the lack of distortion, having the right harmonic distortion, the transparency, the smoothness, the sweetness or the sheer mus... | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? @noromance I upgraded from a MP-3 to an MP-1.Major difference.If you can afford it, go for a MP-1. | |
| Best preamp with built in phono stage? Hi Mike,The Atma was $28k believe the darTZeel is $50k+.And the Atma has multiple balanced in and out. The darTZeel only has one balanced in and out.Do you use the BNCs?Seems the darT was also designed greatly to play vinyl as is the Atma. Both by... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? I got my AGD class Ds just in time for 116 degrees here in Portland!FWIW, these Class Ds are different from others. | |
| OK - Now What…? Silversmith Fidelium speaker cables. Beat very pricy ones at a bargain price. 2 week trial period. A no brainer. | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? I have an Atma-Sphere MP-1 preamp with built in phono stage.I thought that maybe VAC was the competition but think I see that, like everyone, when you get into the upper end $25K++ units, they all are just line stages with no built in phono stage.... | |
| Woodsong Garrard 301, Artisan Fidelity 301, Shindo 301, SME 301, or etc.? Heavy stuff on a 301 are a main issue.Starting with a heavy platter. I will stay with Woodsong’s version of an appropriate platter. Not the original but not very heavy either. Think it is about 6 lbs. Think the slate and iron plinths are questiona... | |
| Blown away by a vinyl version of a CD? Thanks for the post Chuck.And for reminding me about Breaking Silence-for sure one of my favs on CD. Acoustic Sounds has it for $35 on 200g vinyl.I kind of hope for others mentioning similar experiences with other CDs. | |
| Impressions of AGD the Audion MKII Mono Amps As a delighted Audions owner, I am very pleased to see yet another thread extolling the virtues of AGD. All I can add is that the listening experience is different than any IME. As a formerly dedicated SET guy, I will never go back.All the benefit... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? rh67Would you agree that the actual GANfet used in AGD amps is proprietary? The comparison has been made to Nelson Pass acquiring all available SITs. Although Nelson does not hold the patent on SITs as does Alberto on the AGD’s GANfet.One reason I... | |
| How do you know what your weakest link is? The Modwright 9.0 is perhaps the best bang for the buck.Check it out…For sure, the source is the main link in a system.I heard a million dollar system trashed by a poor CD player!Wanted to run out of the room screaming. | |
| warmest speaker cables you've heard? If you want the best SCs available, the Silversmith Fideliums.Believe a 4’ pair are $795.I replaced $6K cables that are now junk relatively. Warm, I guess so. But if you want to hear everything the SR1as are capable, 30 day trial. You will not ret... | |
| Lousy IEC Connections Two issues with my pretty heavy Shunyata PCs. 1. They can pull up lighter components.2. The wall connection needs a cable riser to keep it from pulling out. | |
| Woodsong Garrard 301, Artisan Fidelity 301, Shindo 301, SME 301, or etc.? Chris Harban advised me not to switch to a much heavier platter.That the 301 motor was not designed to move that much weight.Although it does seem like a heavier platter would add thrust and a stronger tone. And the available heavy copper or brass... |
