| "Trickle up" theory "Why do you think it is that you have that experience at Jeff's? And do you ever have it at your place?"Great follow-up questions.1) Part of the reason I enjoy an environment like that is because of the company I keep while listening to music in t... | |
| "Trickle up" theory My theory on why some high-end equipment doesn't "get the music right" has nothing to do with the equipment itself, but where that equipment is located.Rarely have I seen high-end equipment located in an environment that is truely comfortable. I m... | |
| PS Audio cables, Anyone heard them? I have to agreee with Thsalmon on the RCA interconnects. I absolutely love them. I compared them with DH Labs Silver Sonic Air Matrix and Straightwire Encore II. The PS Audio xStream Statements blew them away - they have a sense of air and deatil ... | |
| AES Six Pacs Monoblock Amps and AE-3 DJH Pre-Amp Albert,Thanks. I'll probably take you up on your offer. My biggest concern that it's tough to get the connections really tight, and I'm afraid that if the connections loosen, the spades on my cables will slide, touch, and short my taps.Hifiharv,I ... | |
| Scott Nixon outboard DAC's, any good? The TubeDac+ @ $475.00 shipped appears to be a hell of a deal. To build on those who may respond to this thread, what transport are people using with this DAC (or what cost-effective transport would people recommend)?Nicholas Renter | |
| Tube Equipment: Gimmick? Maybe someone can correct me here...The vast majority of SS amps obtain those low distrotion measurements (note my careful choice of words) by using a significant amount of negative feedback. Sure, this negative feedback makes an amp measure well ... | |
| How to bi-amp with 2 two-channel amps? With 2 identical amps, I'd personally dedicate one amp to the left channel, and one amp to the right channel.Dedicating one amp to each channel does not consititue as "bridging." Bridging is when you have the ability to combine multiple channels i... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I have to be true to the truth. I posted above that "I will *never* get rid of my (4) Nautilus 805s because I will *always* have a use for them." I lied.Well, I *kinda* lied. I recently sold 2 of my Nautilus 805s - leaving me with only one pair. I... | |
| Which speaker cable? I have the same amp and speaker setup as you (check out my system), and chose to use AudioQuest GR-8 cables (mostly because I needed cables for the long runs to the rear speakers, and wanted to use the same cable throughout my system). There are b... | |
| Which is better - Maggie 20.1 or Soundlab M-1? Good post, Duke! | |
| What makes an interconnect sound like it does? Loontoon,As counter-intuituive as is may sound, I don't believe you *really* want to impedance match your components. Modern solid-state devices transfer voltage between products, not power. Optimum power transfer requires impedance matching. Opti... | |
| What makes an interconnect sound like it does? "What makes speakers sound different?"Glad you asked. Not because I think this is an appropriate place to discuss this question (that's for another thread), but becuase your question facilitates a good analogy.I can make some generalizations about... | |
| New Model Rogue Mono's From the Rogue site (I should have posted this earlier)...Introducing the new M-150Based on circuitry derived from our flagship Zeus amplifier, Rogue Audio proudly announces the brand new M-150 monoblocks. These amplifiers boast a number of perfor... | |
| New Model Rogue Mono's Information has been posted on the Rogue Audio website. | |
