| 1970's receivers and integrated amps... Tried a Marantz integrated (forget the model #) to hear what it sounded like and it was warm and and euphonic and rolled off on top. When I hooked it up it bottomed out my drivers which startled me. All that juice still in the caps. It brought bac... | |
| "What's Your Best Price?" I had a friend who infuriated me as every single time he bought something, he'd ask: "Is that the best you can do?" It didn't matter if it was a high end store, or if he was at at a swap meet. The only place he wouldn't embarrass me was at a resta... | |
| Virtue Audio sensation opinions Those Virtue amps that were on sale here didn't seem to have been kept long. I got the feeling that they were bought on the strength of reviews and found wanting in some respect. Could be wrong. If you go to other sites where Virtue is a member an... | |
| Natural and Neutral could be boring .. The recording itself sets the parameters and your system can only convey it, or distort it, as the case may be. Being that, I don't feel you have to go the tube route to get that natural and neutral sound. It can't hurt but its not necessary. Very... | |
| Where does your user name come from? I don't like noise. | |
| New Zu Mission cable Gopher,You really can't go wrong with the trial period on the PCs. I believe they didn't have much selection in B-stock Mission cables when I got mine. Slim pickens. I waited too long. That PC was the first thing I inserted and had I not gotten an... | |
| New Zu Mission cable Game over. At least for me. Just got my new Burson integrated and boy oh boy, it just blew all the smoke, dust and debris out of the Mission cables. All of them. Maybe the high winds we've been experiencing out here in L.A. helped.I dunno.Hate to ... | |
| New Zu Mission cable Just put in the PC on the amp and there was an immediate improvement. Any haze (which I hadn't noticed) was gone, daddy gone. Clear as a sky of azure blue, clear as an unmuddied lake. Next, one for the CDP. Improvement not as substantial as the fi... | |
| Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player It might have a forestalling effect, but high end CDPs are not on their way out. Just as vinyl soldiers on, CDs will as well. As extracting that last bit gets better, just as it has with vinyl, audiophiles will discover "what they've been missing"... | |
| What makes the Bloom around instruments . . . Kell_man,I get that same 'bloom' you refer to when I use my Burson integrated. I don't feel it's distortion but the amps ability to pick up that last bit of info off the recording, intact, and sending it along to you speakers. That bloom is specif... | |
| Vibration Theory - Isolate or Drain? I use Herbie's Tendefeet under everything electronic. Cones will "drain" in the vertical plane while the Tenderfeet "drain" and absorb in all planes from the point of contact. Can't say you'll have the same results but it works for me. | |
| Christmass Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone out there. | |
| New Zu Mission cable Just ordered the Mission ICs, speaker cable and power cord. A no brainer at the prices and with the 60 day return policy.Will report back. | |
| Blue Moon Award for Burson Audio's new DAC/Preamp Charles1dad,I think the appeal of Srajan's style has to be his being German born and classically educated, a world traveler, and having spent so much time in America. What seems, at first blush, to be an incongruence, grammatically, is actually ol... | |
| Blue Moon Award for Burson Audio's new DAC/Preamp Charles1dad,Yes, it would. Being an avid reader of Srajan's reviews, I believe he tends to delve into these characteristics more when it tends to be an amp review. My guess was nothing more than that: a guess based on a perception of what I think ... |
