| the difficult second Lp In my age bracket there was Nevermind, Siamese Dream and Dirt. | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? To Steve's (Sjy425) 5/20 post:I talked to Chris Thornton and he dissuaded me from the quiet core as an upgrade for a two year old SP10mk2 I ordered. This was in the context of price/performance. He was more keen on the platter change. | |
| High End Audio Market Oppertunities Not sure what this is about. I'll say for fun that I am interested in hard drive music. I do not like fiddling with computers an do not want to use a lot of rack space. Something like a Sony HAP-Z1ES with a CD slot with auto ripping plus digital o... | |
| Crazy Cardas? If you understand the principal (not soundstage shape?) then you can answer your question. The dimensions can be manipulated using the ratio as Cardas has done. Sanders Sound has different approach; I hear so do others with using small asymmetry f... | |
| YG Carmels vs Rockport Atrias I also have also only head Carmel. That is a tough room. I do not know if I would push it with a (I assume ported) three-way. Maybe alya is more appropriate, but a small room is going to cap the performance of either speaker. Raidho X1 is in my op... | |
| Dynaudio, Devore Orangutan, or Harbeth For those who may subscribe to Devore Orangutans, the O96 with SET is the captivating concoction. Devore has showed 93s, 96s, Naim and SETs at shows. I would listen to that before investing in any other combination. | |
| Can headphones ever be as good as high end stereo? The upside of your situation is the recent incease in options of high-end headphones and amps; Stax has more competition. I tried a few at axpona and was really impressed with Audeze LCD-3. The downside is the presentation of headphones is in one'... | |
| Why Merlins sound better then Sonus Faber Well, Sonus Faber is the "...exclusive premium high-end audio system for the new Pagani Huayra"; and Merlin has two models that are sold direct. | |
| Once again, impressed by NAD Not sure how the 314 compares to other NAD models. It is forward, open and bright sounding with great bass. The preamp section I think is its highlight and is a good value relative to other preamps I have owned that retailed for under $2k. I have ... | |
| Sloped baffle I believe it. Hales uses fourth order crossover. It is of course not time coincident as one can see from the step response. You could speculate that part of the intent is to visually differentiate the transcendence from the revelation line, which ... | |
| Sloped baffle I should have stated, "PART of the reason for a sloped baffle..." There is the time domain as well. | |
| Sloped baffle Sometimes sloped baffles are cosmetic only. My understanding for 1st order crossover speakers is the broad frequency overlap between drivers, requires a sloped baffle to keep the drivers on a single axis. When off axis the shared frequencies betwe... | |
| Room Treatment Idleally it best to know what the problem is before trying to correct it. You could do find modes based on your dimensions, which shows four coincident modes I believe at 141hz. More accurately, and relatively inexpensively you could do room acous... | |
| Selling Dynaudio c2 what next??? The Bryston is certainly technically capable. I do not know it will sound, especially in comparision to more expensive, good-wattage tube amps, which are regularly employed it seems. | |
| Selling Dynaudio c2 what next??? YG Carmel. Floorstanding two-way at $18k is imo a level up from Dynaudio, which I also really like. Good low end extension and I think it drops off smoother than the C1, even though its also ported. Very musical AND detailed. Gives everything but ... |
