| Can't we all just get along? One thing that would help us all to understand the perspective of each individual posting here would be if everyone would post pics and descriptions of their system(s) in the virtual systems here on A’Gon.I agree. You never know when you might be... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Nice post Zephyr24069There has been a lot of broad-brush painting here lately.I agree that folks should buy what they want and what makes them happy with their systems. While I enjoy the discourse about the science behind different designs and ma... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable The negotiations bogged downExplain please. What negotiations? It seems there was an offer by A. Randi so the next step is for Fremer to accept or decline. Did Fremer ask for best 2 out of 3? Did A. Randi withdraw the offer? What are you ta... | |
| Seeking Advice on NOS DAC I believe your 1V input sensitivity means your amp/amps achieve full output power with a 1V input. This is relatively low and should work with about any DAC. To me, the bigger issue is matching impedance if you are adjusting volume with a passiv... | |
| Seeking Advice on NOS DAC FWIW, when I sent my Pavane over to the Netherlands for the upgrade, I purchased an Ayre Acoustics QB-9 DSD because I wanted music and because I always wanted to try one. It was a nice sounding DAC but IMO and based on my recollection, I would ha... | |
| Seeking Advice on NOS DAC Stretch your budget just a little for a used Pavane. You can later upgrade if you feel the need. The base model is much better than the Hex and their Level 3 (run through a very good preamp) beat their highly rated Adagio head-to-head, for my tas... | |
| Can a Quality Full Range Speaker be the Limiting Component in a system? You have received some very thoughtful answers through which I have learned some things here. In my experience, outside of differences in speaker quality, amp/speaker compatibility issues, and sonic preferences of the listener, the bass response... | |
| Joule Electra preamp and Aragon 4004 mkII Good catch Ralph.I was not even looking at the speaker interface and simply got lost answering the Joule/Aragon compatibilty question - sorry foster.If I were driving Klipsch speakers with a sensitivity of 101 db, I would look hard at a tubed am... | |
| McCormack DNA-1 Gold or DNA-225 Hi Bob, Good luck with the DNA-1 monos. Please do let us know what you think of them, and how they compare with your MA-1s. Steve and his crew do great work and he certainly pays attention to the details and does all he can to meet the expectati... | |
| Joule Electra preamp and Aragon 4004 mkII You are welcome foster.Let us know how they sound together. | |
| McCormack DNA-1 Gold or DNA-225 dyl71 - exciting stuff. Enjoy your "new" amplifier as I am sure it will sound great. Based on your description, it sounds as if you probably had Steve install the Plitron transformer, which I understand should improve dynamics even further. Since ... | |
| Joule Electra preamp and Aragon 4004 mkII I owned both of these pieces, but not at the same time.The 4004 MkII is a very good value for the money and has held its value amazingly well.The 4004 MkII has a low'ish input impedance of 22K ohms (similar to some Pass amps).The LA-150 MkII has a... | |
| PADIS vs Furutech fuses Besides I broke two of your sacred Laws of Science just today. Careful with the sacrilege Geoff, you don't want to get hit with 15 million volts from a Van de Graaff generator | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I think I may like the Boulder more, but I can’t tell if it’s better or just different.....with the Boulder in, it sounds like I’m in the recording studio proper, with the performers. With the Davinci 2 it sounds like I’m in the mixing room. One... | |
| Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio They cannot be tricked. They’re too smart and too clever to be bamboozled.Ah, Geoff, seems you have created a challenge worthy of your trickery. Those damn pesky naysayers again, and they have teamed up with the pseudo skeptics, and possibly eve... |
