| VH Audio, Ridge St Audio or Audience Au24 XLRs? Again, having recently gone down this IC path, and trying these three interconnects, I can only advise the following:Try them for yourself!If you notice, there are several members who have tried all three, and have decided differently on what they... | |
| Good Better Best Interconnects I just fell down this rabbit hole.It sucks.And know each adventure is unique.I ended up (after trying many of the cables recommened above - and more) with the AU-24 between CD and Preamp, VH Pulsar between Pre and Power, and Goertz MI-2 biwire bet... | |
| Room Acoustics Dave,First, cool system! Love it. Second, that's what I see: room treatment is - at best - shotgun accuracy; contrast that to what these RCS systems can do (rifle accuracy) on the linearity of the response! On paper, amazing.I'd love to compare a ... | |
| CD Cutting and / or Trimming Busics2: have you tried this process on the XRCD format? If so, where there similar improvements, or were they more modest?Thanks, | |
| Room Acoustics Sean, have you played with room correction electronics (e.g. the TacT system)? If so, how would you rate their performance over standard room treatment approaches?Finally - to everyone - why is there such a bias against such systems?Thanks, | |
| TG Audio vs Pursang vs Poiema Interconnects Okay, I gotta comment....It's honestly sad people feel the need to disparage boutique cable designers and their customers who enjoy the product (and god forbid, share that enthuiasm). Ridge Street, TG, Wolfe, VH Audio, or any other of this genre o... | |
| Education: Best place for Audio Engineering? My suggestion is:1) Contact the audio companies you respect2) Ask their designers which research papers they are reading and who their authors are.3) Find out what schools those authors work at, apply to those graduate schools, and do your dissert... | |
| Meridian G08 or Linn Ikemi From a past post:"The key issue with the Ikemi is vibration management: its chassis is woefully underdesigned. I cannot emphasise this enough and cite Ben's response as supporting evidence (the deteriation of playback quality with "heavier music")... | |
| Levinson 33 Archaic???? What's funny is his response.The real issue is there are only so many ways you can lay out a gain device, and over time - it turns out - that the simple circuits tend to perform better in audio applications. Of course, someone will jump in with ma... | |
| Input requested Sean writes: "If the MI-2's are linear in power transfer, primarily due to very low inductance, and maintain a consistent series resistance to beyond 100 KHz, which is better than ANY other cable on the market, how could it be detrimental to the t... | |
| Input requested Following up....After switching out the Goertz MI2 biwire with the AudioTruth Midnight (four solid copper stands per, biwired), here are my initial conclusions:a) my breakup problem has been attenuated somewhat with the AudioTruth, though not enti... | |
| Input requested First, thanks for the replys Joe and Sean (especially since I could have been damaging my equipment!). It turns out I had the Zobel's factory installed, so if Sean's correct, then I should not have damaged my amp. Still, I took the Goertz out for ... | |
| The Jitter Bug I have heard the Mapleshade and find the performance substandard. And Mapleshade still suffers from the glass-mastering and stamping variations in the existing manufacturing process (which is exactly what the XRCD process has improved). This is wh... | |
| Tube equipment reviews Nrenter: I have some NOS KenRad black glass in my DJH now. A whole different world from those Chinese tubes (yuk). No, I do not have the sixpacks. BTW, your review and email were insturmental in my getting the DJH; thanks, I am quite happy.Tobais:... | |
| Dire Straits Remasters Quick follow up on the XRCD. Couldn't find BIA, but did pick up two jazz titles: Waltz for Debby and Relaxin' with the Miles Davis Quintet. As for the quality difference, just one word....Getthefuckouttahere!It's not even funny how bright, grainy,... |
