| incredible inexpensive speaker I can see where one would get excited with the sound of this speaker. That BMR is passive and takes the place of an actual tweeter making it something like a augmented widebander and we all know how seamless and coherent a properly done widebander... | |
| Problems with Mapleshade cables Okay everyone, time to disembark the bash the Mapleshade train. Pierre's SC are quite good, if not outright great in my system. I upgraded from his basic Clearview SC to the Double Helix SC and never had the urge to look any further.They've better... | |
| Best portable for FM? I have the same problem where I work. I can get decent reception is I hold my portable radio just so but as soon as I turn, bend or move it in any way, it buggers out. The same thing happens as soon as something turns on.I really look forward to l... | |
| Problems with Mapleshade cables Yes, they are fragile and I noticed that they're not made the same way as the ones I have stored away somewhere. The connectors I have are what appears to be locking brass connectors and what they sell now look rather humble and homemade.I hate to... | |
| Parasound CD-1 Heys guys, sorry to not posted sooner but I've not heard it yet. I'm sorry if my last post gave the impression that I had and thanks for thinking my impressions would amount to something :-)All the best,Nonoise | |
| Cost effective Schumann Resonator I have a Quantum device, which I believe does the same thing, that's been in my system for many years and I think I'm ohque.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Power Cords: A Skeptic Looking to Dabble... If, like me, you're not that handy with building your own PC, then check out Cullen Cables. They're in your price range and are very well made. No hocus pocus, just solid design.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Tone Controls can be so nice. Thank you all for your civil responses, whether you agree or not with my findings, and thanks Al, for that pat on the back. As much as I used to be a "straight wire with gain" kinda guy, this matter with the tone control helps in ways I thought no... | |
| Recommend an integrated amp, $800-$1000 Marantz PM8004. It's made in Japan alongside the Reference Series components and not in China. Try to find someone like Music Direct who will allow you to audition one.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Upgrade to ATC / Bryston Earl, like you, I didn't think that a power line conditioner would be of any real benefit and boy was I wrong, and I don't even have a degree or experience in electrical engineering to strengthen my doubts. :-)Once inserted, I had to lower my list... | |
| Parasound CD-1 Consider yourself lucky enough to have had it in your system. :-) | |
| Powerconditioners for digital? I second the Blue Circle. If you go for the Thingee PLC, you'll get more bang for the buck. | |
| Happy Thanksgiving to all from Jay Buridan Happy Thanksgiving and be mindful of your intake (except for the music). | |
| Burn-in and Equipmemt Value How can a component have an "optimum operating temperature" and be rated at that temperature and not experience a "burn in" of sorts? No one here doubts the notion about "warm up" and when a system sounds its best.The signal is energy that passes ... | |
| Burn-in and Equipmemt Value I've yet to see evidence on just how electricity "moves' across any surface be it a circuit trace or cable so in my mind to think that it's a given and always follows the same path unless channeled or directed, doesn't make sense (this is not to s... |
