| How much preamp will improve I do not know about your processor, but I have used two fairly good preamps with my older Lexicon HT processor, since I am more into the two channel for music. The Adcom GFP750 (mine had black gate cap upgrades) sounded quite good for what they co... | |
| Purist Audio & Stereophile Mt10425, I hope your post is not true. What a crock. When you say "our members," are you sure?? Tobias is saddened, and I am embarrased. Audiogon is a class act, and I doubt any attempts to downgrade a good product would be taken seriously here, o... | |
| Comparison: Cardas Neutral Ref vs. Goertz MI2 or 3 Thanks Mike, for the kind words, but since I have added all alnico drivers top to bottom, and the sound anchor bases, I think I would have to blow my budget to beat them. I have some Cardas binding posts I plan to install, but I haven't decided wh... | |
| Comparison: Cardas Neutral Ref vs. Goertz MI2 or 3 Thanks for the recommendations Mike, I have been interested in the Soundstrings, but had not considered Discovery. I have tried several different cables (but nothing real high end due to run length and tri-wire $$$$). At this point the three best ... | |
| Comparison: Cardas Neutral Ref vs. Goertz MI2 or 3 Wdi, thanks for the link. I also had not previously heard about a low bass roll of using Goertz. Maybe that is why they recommend minimum cable sizes. Anyway, I appreciate thd responses to my post. -Tim | |
| Good 2 channel premap with HT bypass Hello. Your post says a "good" preamp, which opens the door to many such units. I can personally recommend the Muse Model 3 Signature, a SS unit, which offers a clear, smooth, dynamic sound, excellent bass, and an HT pass through. This unit also m... | |
| Talkin' bout YOUR generation... Man, I see quite a few I used to own listed here! The four I probably listened to the most, and would consider "defining" in the context of this post would be:Allman Brothers Band (Eat a Peach and Live at the Fillmore)Derek and the DominosSantana ... | |
| What's the most anolog sounding CDP I'll third the Muse recommendations, Models 9 signature and 10 are excellent at redbook cd and DVD. Detailed and never harsh. Mids are very "real-sounding" when used with suitable supporting equipment. I don't have enough experience to say they ar... | |
| Pics with ads? To Mt10425, I disagree that, "pics of cables are almost completely usless," as I have recently sold 4 pair of self-made and/or self-terminated speaker cables, and wouldn't have considered asking someone to purchase them without letting the prospec... | |
| WAF, Help, Need Strategy You are talking about your main living room. Both of you view it as the focal point of the house, where you will spend most of your time, and where you will entertain friends and relatives. She probably has a significantly different concept of wha... | |
| How come that NOS is better them NS new stock ? I believe I have read there are environmental considerations in the materials and practices of manufacturing tubes that weren't in place years ago (when the NOS tubes were made). This is not uncommon as air emission and materials waste disposal is... | |
| I've lost my bass.... I agree with Sean, the amp can definitely impact bass response. I had a McCormack DNA2 in my system for awhile, and the bass was subterrainian, far better than with any other amp I have owned. However, I couldn't live with the way it sounded in th... | |
| Muse Model Nine vs ? The 9 signature is very, very good on redbook CD, and an excellent DVD player as well. Based on feedback from Kevin at MUSE, for CD and DVD, the 10 is a higher performance player than the 11, although the 11 offers the advantage of playing SACD ma... | |
| Bi Wire Tweak Do you guys ever read input by Jon Risch over on AA Cable Asylum? He is a regular poster and fairly knowledgeable/helpful about things related to cables, room treatment, and other topics. This link, and the related follow-ups on AA, may clear up s... | |
| Upgrade to Simaudio or keep my Classe? Your components are good and appear to be synergistic with each other. Is there anything specific you are trying to improve on? The biggest upgrades recently have been in the digital domain and that may be where you will see the most improved perf... |
