| £15k $22k to spend on speakers...but which? I would likely move up to the Olympica 3 from Sonus so as they are not as bass deficient as the other speakers listed. That being said, the Sonus Faber's have a distinctly different sound signature in comparison to other speakers you listed. All t... | |
| Wharfedale Jade 3 aluminium tweeter problem Its always an interesting take when going between a speaker that is forward and provides a certain 'immediacy' to the sound and one that is more laid back, but draws the listener in. My experiences has shown that a little laid back is more my spee... | |
| Wharfedale Jade 3 aluminium tweeter problem @Wim1983After reading your description, I recalled that Sterophile had reviewed and measured your speakers a bit back and decided to look through its numbers. A couple of the measurements do seem to substantiate your impression. From about 3.5Khz-... | |
| Why so underwhelmed by Revel F208 audition??? Owning the F208, the first two things to review is the bass and treble compensation switched. With varying rooms and speaker placement within in the room, they aid in helping the speaker work a bit better in many situations.The Arcam in question c... | |
| Amp pairing for Nad m51 and focal 816w speakers I have the M51 in my system and while I don't use your amp or speakers, here is a review that has the Rotel RB-1582 MKII and A23 in direct comparison.http://www.soundstageaccess.com/index.php/equipment-reviews/560-parasound-halo-a-23-stereo-amplif... | |
| Can't get Acoustic Zen Adagios to sound smooth I've had a few different speakers that shared similar attributes to the Adagios. Sound engineers who master albums on speakers with a forward stage will produce work that suites these speakers well. The majority of engineers out there base their w... | |
| Can't get Acoustic Zen Adagios to sound smooth I auditioned the Adagio's a few years back and I can honestly understand feeling brightness or lack of smoothness on some recordings.Their presentation was quite forward, and while it provided an immediacy to the sound, it also made for a bit much... | |
| NuForce DAC-9 I had opened a request for demo unit and the XLR pin configuration info. There were a few things that caught my eye about the design. One interesting tidbit was the analog output stages make do without negative feedback.If this implementation work... | |
| My B&W speakers Increments of gain versus multiple factor. So I'm considering an additive level and not using the value as a multiple. Your take .33 and multiplying as compared to additional to make 1.33 instead.But in general the concept you state is correct. If... | |
| My B&W speakers I would certainly not be shocked by that figure. I wouldn't call it a rule, but something to understand that an upgrade from a bookshelf that cost a grand compared to one that costs five does not bring five times the gain in relative performance. ... | |
| My B&W speakers There is no doubt that most products from B&W would be considered high end compared to the general market of Best Buy specials. While some of the construction details are part of trickle down design coming down from prior high end efforts.If y... | |
| Apple Airplay Sound Quality There are two traces on that graph and one is for the analog outputs while the other is for the Musical Fidelity X-DAC V3. The only thing I am not sure is if the MF device is using something to reduce jitter. He does note that it performed better ... | |
| Apple Airplay Sound Quality The results of the quick test I took was as follows.I sent a 24/96 file via Airplay to my receiver with integrated DAC, an HK 3490. The end result was the display stated the signal was 44.1Khz PCM. I can only assume that there is some down samplin... | |
| Apple Airplay Sound Quality Sterophile had reviewed the first iteration of the AE and found its analog output to be somewhat lacking but as a transport, it achieved reasonable performance.I am somewhat surprised to hear about the jitter issue via the optical output as mine w... | |
| Emotiva XDA-1 DAC? I also had owned an XDA-1 and had return it dissatisfied. The volume control was an issue but apparently has been addressed since but sound quality isn't anything to write about.Just as Ts0711 wrote, the bass is bloated and doesn't show much pitch... |
