| The closest approach...really Interesting discussion. While I can understand the pursuit of best sound reproduction available (within the constraints of your budget if you have one) what I can't understand is how does one know when the pinacle has been reached and that further... | |
| The closest approach...really Trelja, Did you mean 'by your self'? Although I can't take issue with 'with yourself' which is such a prominent mental exercise in these forums. Or so it seems. Just cause you never see a bear take a crap in the woods, doesn't mean that you can't ... | |
| Channel Imbalance - HELP Wow. Facinating story. Not a clue what might be causing your imbalance. What are scientific measurements anyway? | |
| Anyone compared Droplet to the Raysonic CD168? Mtjstark, FWIW when you start a post with a statement "I hate to piss on the parade of you ray guys, but...." I should think that you would expect someone to ask you to put your money where your mouth is, that is you should tell us all about the t... | |
| Speaker measurements differences Usually differences in measured results are more likely to be the result of methodology than anything else. Were both sets of measurements taken the same distance from the speakers? If not, were the measurements taken from further away where the r... | |
| Anyone compared Droplet to the Raysonic CD168? Dopogue, FWIW, you will note that the very affluent Mrjstark is probably nothing more than a (too) proud owner of a Droplet. Re the Sony transport, it was interesting to note (in this forum) a distributor of a Chinese CDP complaining about the Son... | |
| Which is the best CD-Player up to $ 10k ? Re this one 'right' thing v 2 'wrong things' stuff, what I can't get my mind around is how does one actually determine that the 'right' source is in fact perfect? Is there some way of listening to this 'right' source without considering the 'right... | |
| Anyone compared Droplet to the Raysonic CD168? FWIW, as I've never actually heard either CDP (but I do have the 128 purchased on the 6moon reviewers recommendations) SE has reviewed the Droplet as well as Consonances' 'lesser' unit, the 128 and the 168. From these reviews you should be able to... | |
| Altec 19/Valencia - Room Size I had Altec 19's in a 13 x 16 x 8 room but it did open in the rear into a kitchen which was seperated by a half wall making the room some what longer. The speakers were about 8 feet apart, my listen position was about 10 feet back, and by my stand... | |
| Your Second System I presently have only one speaker system set up but I drive it with 3 different digital sources thru one pre-amp to three different amps for the following reasons:1) Economy. Amp has 4 power tubes and demands on tubes is conservative. CDP is SS. P... | |
| Up grading power amp... Mono blocks or stereo amp? Best thing about mono's is if one breaks down you still have one left to drive a center channel and you can use the other as a more effective boat anchor. The only reason I got big mono's is that they are still smaller than a comparable stereo amp... | |
| tube cd player with solid state amp and preamp In a word, no. You may warm up the tonal spectrum, or not, depending on your choice, but the real magic with tubes, the REAL magic, is with the amp/speaker combo. The pre-amp is a nice place for tubes but thats much less than half of the magic. Th... | |
| How to control long decay of B&W woofers ? Perhaps it is nothing more than the quality of the bass reproduction on the recording. One of the most frustrating realities of putting together an excellent system is the creation of an expectation that the sound coming out of the speakers will b... | |
| Hobbies other than Audiophiliac? So many things that I have pursued that have been far more satisfying to the soul than 'audio' (for me audio came relatively late). Downhill skiing.FlyfishingPhotographyLiteratureMusic (live) and lastly, Wine, Beer, and travel. Especially wine and... | |
| Headphones vs loudspeakers Nothing wrong with room audio systems (assuming proper set up and associated room acoustics). IMHO its far superior to listening to earphones (my last set were STAX). For the most part in earphones you get lots of detail and the ability (with good... |
