| What next? Sometimes an inexpensive cable swap can do it. Do you have any older cables lying around that you've past on as you upgraded your system? Cables you haven't used with the newer components?The reason I ask is that I did just that and it worked wond... | |
| Best way to run in your Cable Elevators? I was wondering when that one would come up (elevator not going all the way up).All the best,Nonoise | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Ozfly,I'd like to tackle your last question re: improving sonics in a system and is it independent of the emotional response, and I'll keep it short. :-)In my experience, there is a certain amount of joy (Eureka!) when one element of my system tak... | |
| Fuses that matter. They should call this:The Walking Thread. :-)All the best,Nonoise | |
| CDP or DAC/Transport for $1300 new? Hard to say as each response will be different based on personal experience and even those with vast experience will differ. DACs are always improving so you can always upgrade.Transports are a bit more difficult unless you luck out on a good one ... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? Mrtennis, true.We all got into this hobby just for the enjoyment of being able to enjoy music for musics sake. It's only when we learned of better ways to achieve that goal that led us down the path of our present condition.All the best,Nonoise | |
| High End Novum MKT I have. This is just another, low cost aspect that I'd like to tinker with.On the gongs-unlimited site they have some audio tracks on some of the gongs and though it's not top notch, it gives one a good idea of which type and size gives the sound ... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? I like Onhwy61s take on it. It's a different angle but it does address the OPs original ruminations. One needn't have an expensive, high end system to feel the soul of the music. Audiophile issues aside, the emotional response one gets from a song... | |
| High End Novum MKT For the life of me I can't dredge up gongs.com but gongs-unlimited.com seems to be the site you mention. It has lots of different styles and a good selection under $37. Granted, at those prices they are brass, but if there is something to it then ... | |
| Nashville Tube Amp Repair??? That's strange as I just googled tube amp repair and lots of listings came and yes, most of them are guitar amp services and on a look up of high end stereo shops brought up a couple. One would think that in Nashville, of all places, there has to ... | |
| High End Novum MKT Chayro,Thanks for the explanation and the fact that they are bronze, not brass. And I forgot to mention this was at the Newport Audio Show, if it wasn't apparent by those who attended and recognized the setting I described.I was simply unprepared ... | |
| Why are so many albums poorly remastered onto cd Csontos,I never knew that. I guess that's why a really nice TT setup sounds so nice, and a really great one just takes your breath away.All the best,Nonoise | |
| "ANTI-CABLE" SPEAKER CABLE vs Audio Arts SC5? I use something like Anti Cables: Mapleshade Helix speaker cables. Same recipe but different cook and I believe, the first to use this recipe. Throws the window wide open (no roll off, better extension) but lower mids and bass are reticent, not MI... | |
| How many still listen to CD's daily. Daily. I've gone full circle from CDs to an attempt at computer audio and couldn't be happier now that I'm back to CDs.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Anyone know what these funky vintage speaker are? That first photo looks like something Tim Burton would have used in a movie starring Johnnie Depp.All the best,Nonoise |
