| When showing your system to others, what do you do newbee you are correct. i make an attempt to create a presentation that another person would prefer.if he is not happy with the sound, his reaction is of no concern to me.if a visitor asks to listen without any changes and doesn't like the "sound"... | |
| When showing your system to others, what do you do sometimes i will ask for sonic preferences. i can change cable or preamp depending upon my visitor's taste.hopefully, my guest has brought some CDs, so that i won't have to inquire as to artists or genres.i am not concerned as to any person's opin... | |

| What CD player will warm my Thiel/Classe systm? i don't think the jolida will help. i had one for about 2 months and tried a variety of tubes. there's no warmth with this player it's closer to neutral.if you want warmth try an audio note cd2 or california audio labs tempest, or naim cdx . | |
| spendor 3/5 vs era vs avi vs vienna acoustics hayd in my initial post, i did not audition any of the speakers using orchestral material. sometime thereafter, i questioned some dealers regarding small speakers and iwas advised that there would be a "deficit" in reproduction relative to larger speak... | |
| spendor 3/5 vs era vs avi vs vienna acoustics hayd since i introduced this thread in early may, i have spoken to a number of audio dealers and have come to the conclusion that small boxes are a bad way to listen to an orchestra.they cannot compete with larger speakers for scale or resolving comple... | |
| Cayin A - 88 T , sounds great but ... i have listened to the almarro integrated amp and prefer it sonically to the primaluna and cayin. the almarro sounds like it has a tube in it, whereas the cayin and the prima luna have a "cooler", less romantic presentation. | |
| Musical Heaven, NOT Audio or Speaker heaven … i suspect you could achieve the same result with a more modest stereo system, because you are very receptive to the message of the music.i've always maintained that the listener is more important than the music or the equipment.you may have made m... | |
| Thoughts on adding a Super tweeter . the problem with most stereo systems is that they are unbalanced with too much energy in the upper mid/lower treble region.i suspect that with an over emphasis on the upper treble, you might enjoy your stereo system. | |
| Anyone else evolve beyond tubes? the issue of tubes vs solid states for the current generation of tube preamps and amps, exluding set amps is a non issue.the differnces between the sound of ss and tubes, especially using "dynamic" speakers is very small and insignificant.however,... | |
| PS Audio UO vs P300 or P500 regarding the exact power unit, i read a review in the inner ear and one comment caught my attention.the reviewer noticed a brightening of the sound when the exact power unit was in the stereo system. | |
| PS Audio UO vs P300 or P500 i have both a p300 and 2 ultimate outlets.last night i was using one ultimate outlet for a cd player, a juice bar and was not using the p300.when i connected the juice bar to the p300 instead of plugging directly into the wall, i nnoticed an audib... | |

| any opinions about the bat vk d5 cd player ? i own the bat vk d5. it is anything but warm. i have mullard tubes in them and i have tried amperex as well.it sounds like solid state. it's analytical and has too much emphasis in the lower treble/upper midrange.there is no honey glow and no 60's... |
