| DAC Recommendations Rec, When you describe the ECD as being a little forward do you mean somewhat bright or do you mean that there is some mid-range emphasis which brings the soundstage more forward as opposed to recessed or normal? | |
| Omnidirectional speakers. The future? I just had what is probably an absurd idea. There is a parallel thread which has created as much diverse opinion as this thread. In it folks are discussing the pros and cons of multi channel. Why not combine the two threads so we can discuss in a ... | |
| Super long speaker cables I knew I was supposed to post a question for Sean. Thanks.Sean, I know you will cover this but, since you're a SS guy, remember that some of us use Tube amps (which I assume was probably the greatest part of my problem.) :-) | |
| Omnidirectional speakers. The future? Opalchip, I agree with most of what you had to say about hearing what is on the recording unedited by the design of certain speakers types. And it was well said. BUT a Yamaha DSP or a DBX5bx? Boy, did you lose some ground there! :-)Just give me my... | |
| Where to put damping sheets? Kray, I'm sort of with you on this issue. I agree with Nrchy on room dampening but fail to see the analogy as it apply to components which usually benefit from non-resonance. If not so, perhaps someone could have/would have invented a tweek which ... | |
| Causes of long term listening fatigue? Wouldn't it be nice if we had some idea what Karman's electronics, including sources, were? Might also be nice to know what, if anything he has done about set up and taming reflections. Ditto room size. With that info we might be able to give his ... | |
| DK Design users check out Writers Choice Awards "Larry, please clarify if your have any relationship with DK Design"....Or any prospective relationship!I've been curious as well. | |
| PrimaLuna ProLogue One versus Two For those of you who asked about tube rolling - I have had a One for 2 months now and have changed out the EL34's, the 12AX7's and the 12AU7's, trying various combinations. They all make a meaningful, and readily apparent change in the sound of th... | |
| switching between unique amps using biwire posts? The biggest danger from what you suggest is that sooner or later you (or a family member) will accidentially turn on both amps at the same time. BIG BOOM! You will loose at a minimum a fuse in one amp, you might loose 1 amp, you might loose 2 amps... | |
| limitations of red book std. or something else? I've never had this experience. Could it be that because you enjoy the music so much you've maxed out the volume and your amp is clipping? | |
| Classe Modifications Keith, Dumb question time. Are you sure its the pre-amp? In my experience, speaker placement, listening seat placement, and room acoustics play a far greater role in perfecting the sound stage than the electronics. The absolute best sound stage I ... | |
| Resetting the power on power amp question The reason for keeping the amp on all of the time is to keep its temperature at its optimum for the performance of the amps thermally sensitive components. Turning it off for a few moments or hours shouldn't make a meaningful difference. FWIW, the... | |
| Is there any hope for my room? Are you moving the listening position as well as the speakers? That can make a huge difference. Are you using a RS meter and test disc? That would be a big help as well. | |
| high quality transports I've been wondering the same thing so I'll be watching this thread. I've just started my list with the Sony CSD777es without the Mod Wright addition of the tube output. | |
| Serendipity: perfect example 2 Feet? Lets try 2 inches! Keep that fine tuning going, practice makes perfect. :-) |
