| Preamp: Mcintosh vs Modwright? hi hpower:i had the modwright pre with the ss supply. i would still be surprised if anything modwright does has a very tubey character. his approach is linearity. keep in mind the advantage of the mac is the tone controls. a feature offering a ben... | |
| Break in period hi marakanetz:it sometimes happens that the sound of a component changes with time in such a manner that you prefer its presentation before it has received a signal, in comparison to its presentation after it has 100 + hours.i have experienced bot... | |
| Preamp: Mcintosh vs Modwright? i am currently auditioning the mac c 220 and i did audition the modwright preamp. i did not have a bryston amp.i prefer the c 220. it has more of a tube caharacter, while the modwright did not sound like a tube design. | |
| Anti-Cable High Frequency Performance i have a twisted pair of the anti cables. there is no loss of treble extension at all. if anything, there is too much treble emphasis. | |
| Audience Au-24 vs. Empirical Design Cable Review hi dodgealum:what do you mean by "warmth", and where did you perceive more detail, in the highs, mids or bass ?generally, warmth implies attenuation in the treble coupled with a boost in the upper bass/lower mids, in which case, it is odd that one... | |
| problems with 24 bit cd players hi herman:hi herman, you are railing against redundancy. it would have been suffiecient to say:i am looking for an 18 or 16 bit player. i apologize for unnecessary words. | |

| problems with 24 bit cd players the reason i am not interested in a current production audio note is that it is not 20 bit, does not use a 12 volt tube and does not sound like the audio note cd2.the reason i am not looking for a cd2 is its age and the chance that the transport ,... | |
| problems with 24 bit cd players my reference cd player is the audionote cd 2 from 1994. it takes a 12 volt tube. i am using a ge 5751 blackplate. i have compared many cd players and none comes close.yes, some would consider the audionote overly subtractively colored, but whateve... | |
| problems with 24 bit cd players hi tvad:i prefer not to purchase a separate dac and transport.are the non over sampling dacs tube based and 20 bit ? i already listened to an ack! dac and scott nixon tube dac. i was not impressed with either.i suppose if i heard a dac/transport c... | |
| problems with 24 bit cd players hi rotarius:i own this player. i will sell it shortly. it too is lacking in the upper/basss/lower mid range and has too much energy in the upper mids/lower treble. i think 24/192 chips have problems. they present music in a manner i would characte... | |
| Synergy - how to get there synergy is just a word. instead of focusing on what the word means, one might be wiser to try to attain the sonic presentation consistent with one's preference and not be concerned as to whether one's components are synergistic with each other. | |
| Audio Aero Prima MKII v/s Unison Research Unico current generation unison amps and cd players are not veiled. if anything they are bright and etched. there is no dullness at all. the components sound more like solid state than tubes. the recent audio aero prima doesn't sound like a typical tube... |
