| Bi Wire Cables vs Jumpers? +1 @snackeyp .I used to have Signal Cable Silver Resolution bi-wires. But the Clear Day Double Shotguns with their jumpers was a whole new level.You can try that with the Signal Cable Silver Resolution too. | |
| Proac D48R @jperry ,Thank You for the kind words. Yes, it is indeed a huge upgrade.I will have to try some active preamp in my system. Not sure if any dealer or manufacturer would entertain the idea of in-home demo.As for the factory spikes, they are fine fo... | |
| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? @rnrmf1971 ,I agree with you. There is no such SACD disc that has hi-rez PCM. | |
| Focal No.2 Speaker System: A New Age Dawns @dave_b Thanks for updating the system page. Looking really good. | |
| Proac D48R @ctsooner ,Sorry to hear about your condition. Hopefully music soothes you.What are you missing? That is exactly what I want to find out about using active preamp in my system. I have been recommended the JR Capri S2 and the Wyred 4 Sound STE-SE ... | |
| Just bought Kef reference 1, now to choose speaker wires Congratulations on the new acquisition.I highly recommend the Clear Day Double shotguns on those fantastic speakers. | |
| Focal No.2 Speaker System: A New Age Dawns dave_b,Congratulation on your new acquisition. Have fun listening to your music. And maybe time to update your system pics. I jumped in to look at your system, but did not find the Focals. I have heard the Electra series and really liked them. | |
| Proac D48R A couple of folks reached out to me and indicated that an active preamp will take my system performance to a much higher level, now that I have the ProAcs. In my system I have adequate bass and sound to the point that I have ordered 2 more tri-tra... | |
| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? Certain classical labels offer SACD’s with their Hi-Rez stereo layer in PCM, BIS Records is one such label. I have not heard of such SACDs. So will look for others to contribute and help you out. | |
| PSB Imagine T3's? Thanks @studiotim.I had listened to the T3s in the Baltimore area as well. That was with the NAD system and t sounded pretty good. Unfortunately they were trying to push the Totem Forest Signatures, which also sounded good, but I was not interested. | |
| Proac D48R I believe that the speakers are properly "run in". I don't understand why people say ProAcs are musical and not for people who want "pin point imaging". These speakers certainly image awesome in my setup. They are super musical without being a bit... | |
| PSB Imagine T3's? @studiotim,Was your demo in the Chicago area? Just curious, since I had that a demo in that area. I will not go into the dealership details. But they were thorough gentlemen and entertained all my song requests. | |
| Which Patricia Barber album floats yer boat? I like many of her songs/albums. I categorize her type of music as "dark jazz". It is enjoyable in the right mood. The recording quality is an added bonus. | |
| Reference disc player...UDP 205 or Marantz? @vahes,What are PCM SACDs? I think you are confusing with either of the following:1. SACD has a CD layerOR2. Original recording was in PCM that was converted to DSD for SACD.In either case the player will ALWAYS play the SACD layer, when a SACD is... | |
| Flooring advice on basement listening room. I had a portion of the basement converted into a dedicated audio room. 2 3/4 sides have concrete walls, but the remaining 1 1/4 side, I installed double dry wall on both sides with Green Glue between them. I have carpet over concrete and it has wo... |
