| Meridian, ARC or Cary? I actually don't know if this helps you at all. There is an obvious difference in sound between CD and HDCD on at least the Cary 303/100. | |
| Purist Audio Design Character and tone Wow, what a lame response. Hopefully my description will be better than nothing. I have owned PAD Musaeus and HDI for a brief period. They are warm and they have a large sprawling soundstage. They are also really coherent throughout the band and y... | |
| old vs new I really like old, used preamp and amps for stricter budgets. They don't wear out as quickly as mechanical components, unlike CDPs there's no new technology that puts their SQ in the shadows, and they yield a wise alternative to integrated amps. O... | |
| Ready to try vinyl For the TT, arm, cart, and accessories, I reckon around $2500 for a rig that doesn't have large drawbacks relative to cd playback. | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? Jeez, sorry for my out-of-place post. I don't know what I thought I read to initiate that response. | |
| Volume Level Could be the setting of the antiskate. Could be other things, but I have forgotten them. Good luck. | |
| Picking components -warm / bright which is righ? If I can't name a tonal balance outside of the default "neutral", then the TB is good. Extending that to each component would be a little bit better because counterbalancing component tonal balances is an unnecessary exercise of estimation, which ... | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? What seems to be beyond audiophiles is that the only criteria of blind testing is that the participant has no information but the presented experience. Those who think blind testing is conceptually flawed have to answer a question: If what is desi... | |
| car stereo automobile sound system Nak makes the best cd head unit I've heard, specifically the 45z, but dealers are difficult to find, and units are known to be temperamental and at least for the 45z range. The error correction is bad, if it exists at all (I don't know) -CDs have ... | |
| How many audiophiles to screw in a light bulb? 1 to ask what kind of car they should buy.10 to feel victimized by people who are happy with sunlight.100 to feel morally superior to those who use sunlight.1000 to feel mentally superior to those who use sunlight. | |
| Room Size and Loudness Your root problem is why acoustic treatment is used. Naturally the effect of the room varies directly with volume. Employing basstraps, and panels at first refection points is a standard starting point, and your going to have to experiment to get ... | |
| Unintended lyrics revved up like a duece...Duece = type of hotrod. That's my understanding, anyway.Finding out it isn't "wrapped up in a douche" was more distressing than when my Santa bubble was burst. Its a cold world. | |
| How do you deal with vibration? "To those who doubt the above rambling, fine, simply move on. Your comments are not necessary here, we know you exist and respect your opinion."I spotted an incorrect item in your post, but okay. This is audiogon, not a place for disagreement. | |
| If you won powerball and could purchase the best With that kind of dough I'd be too busy having the time of my life to do audio. Eh, maybe a Rockport TT, though ;) | |
| Interconnects: a conductor is a conductor, right? Common sense says that electrons are like gas, and the hose you use to fill up your car...that's the cable. So don't bother me with your measurements, hippie.-An Audio Critic |
