| Tuning speaker / room response? The graph is actually pretty simple to do. You put it on a web server, then include a link in your post. The link is done by a simple html tag.Using square brackets in stead of smaller than / greater than signs, the tag looks like this: [img src="... | |
| SACD vs VINYL SACD has no ticks, hiss or pops like many records do after some time. In my experience, the bass response of SACD is tighter than that of vinyl, the highs are more defined, and there seems to be more coherence. Certainly more dynamics in the music... | |

| Balanced vs RCA Interconnects I have had mixed results in this arena, depending on the equipment in question. From my Mark Levinson 380 to Mark Levinson 335, balanced sounds best, hands down, no questions asked.From my Sony SCD-1 to the ML 380, SE used to sound better than bal... | |
| Problem with my new Velodyne CT-120 I had a similar problem with my Velodyne. Turned off auto shutoff, turned off power. Unplugged, waited 10 mins, plugged back in and turned power back on, problem solved. Since then, I no longer use auto shutoff. (I just about died when this happen... | |
| Best 3-way or 4-way speaker under $15K I am personally in love with the Vienna Acoustics Mahler speakers. Retailing at about $10K they just play everything else that I listened to in the same price class away. Detail, clear mid range, nice tight bass, look great, sound exactly the way ... | |
| Best speaker a wife would tolerate My wife loved the NHT2.9's I got, she thought the tight, black lines were very cool, especially in the high gloss finish. I am now getting Vienna Accoustics Mahler in Beach, which happens to match both type of wood and design style of our furnitur... | |
| That cool rounded-edge CD Player... Well, AudioAdvisor does no longer have the Musical Fidelity X-Ray, can no longer get them either. No one else in the US can either, so they say. And of course, it is not be found used on AudioGon or Ebay either... Aint that how it always goes! So,... | |
| Mark Levinson 380 to 380s upgrade? I really like the SCD-1, it just sounds great. I compared to the 777ES before buying, and I did not hear that much of a difference. I was going to buy the 777, but they made me a deal on the SCD-1 I could not refuse. I have since heard the Marantz... | |
| That cool rounded-edge CD Player... Thanks for the replies all! Looked at what these people make, and found it. The player I was refering to is the Musical Fidelity X-Ray. AudioAdvisor.com is listed as the US outlet, but it is no longer on their website!! ARGH!! I just Emailed them ... | |
| CD Copies...why do they sound worse? Gboren1, try making a copy again, this time READ the original and WRITE the copy at single speed if you did not do that the first time. The behavior you describe seems to be normal when copying Audio CD's at high speed on a PC. | |
| building a room from the ground up... Tom Nice wrote: "Two books by F. Alton Everest should be required reading: (1) The Master Handbook of Acoustics, and (2) Sound Studio Construction on a Budget.". I bought No. 1 from Amazon; the book has a lot of information, but I thought it was p... | |
| CD Copies...why do they sound worse? So I took an Audio CD and a blank, stuck both in a philips dual-deck CD recorder (the consumer kind) and made a copy. Then loaded both disks in my PC and captured 10 copies of the CD image of each disk on to harddisk at high speed. That resulted i... | |
| SACD vs DVD audio vs 24/96..?? There are actually many more than 25 SACD titles, at least 50! *grin* I am the owner of an SCD-1 from Sony, I was sold when I heard it. In one word... Awesome! My prediction is that Sony will release a player sometime next year that plays CD, SACD... | |
| Straight Wire "Maestro" I have a 15ft pair of Maestro-I speaker cables between a Mark Levinson 335 and NHT 2.9 speakers, and they sound fantastic. I tried Maestro-II balanced interconnects between my Sony SCD-1, Mark Levinson 380 Pre and Mark Levinson 335 and did not car... |
