| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? Gregadd - Sorry, my post above is likely out of your context and "flavored" with my own presumptions. It makes it seem as if you are somehow in "trouble" with your questions, which I have no right to assume nor was it my true intention. I guess I ... | |
| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? 05-11-12: Gregadd...I pose the question then how can a spekeer that sounds lifeless be acurrate?Would that pose yhis question. Does live music sound dull and lifeless?If not how can we ever be be satisified with such a spseker no matter how well i... | |
| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? 05-18-12: Charles1dadNo one denies there are good sounding speakers that also measure well. The question is why do some speaker measure well yet sound poor.Why are there good sounding speakers that measure poorly. The debate lingers.The crux to me... | |
| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? 05-19-12: Drew_eckhardtNeither. A speaker has no business editorializing on what you're feeding it "lesee.. a little brighter here, a little boomy there, etc." You should be caught up in the music it's playing and not notice that it's "analytical"... | |
| Where to go after Bel Canto Ref1000MKII Dhartwick -Pardon, of course you need your preamp to your turntable setup :/ Still, I'd recommend you try out a combined DAC/preamp in bypassing your separate hardware preamp, and hear what comes of it. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. | |
| Where to go after Bel Canto Ref1000MKII Dhartwick - Whether exchanging your Bel Canto poweramps will get you to your desired goals - i.e., more "speed and overall realism" - is debatable. Then again, maybe a pair of NuForce Ref. 18(soon to be 20) mono's could very well do better here. N... | |
| Good speakers under 10K. Aqua - Judging by your description I'd recommend Aether Audio's(formerly S.P. Technology) Continuum 2.5, Continuum A.D., or the (somewhat large) stand mounted Timepiece 3.2 - the latter of which can actually be had as a new pair within your budget... | |
| size of the driver I currently own - and will continue to into the forseeable future - a pair of Polish built speakers with a 12" woofer/midrange and 12" waveguide(Geddes-based) "fed" by a compression driver. The 12" units supposedly extend to ~1.5kHz, but I can hon... | |
| Power Cords--Your Preference? And please, as I see it: don't worry too much about shielding; on the contrary - be weary of it. Twisting the wires makes them less prone to be affected or affect their surroundings, and this way it's done within the use of the wires themselves. H... | |
| Power Cords--Your Preference? I'd recommend a DIY solution with 16 gauge solid-core installation copper wires. They're extremely cheap, but most importantly I find they sound great as power cords. I've experimented with 14 gauge solid-core wires as well, but preferred the thin... | |

| Pure silver wire: solid, stranded or Litz wire? Aber23 - I'd recommend trying out Mundorf's 1.5mm solid-core Silver/gold(99% silver/1% gold) wires, or the 0.5mm variant for interconnects. To my ears they contribute to a wonderfully coherent, highly resoluted, dynamic(micro as macro), well-balan... | |
| Best DAC under 2k US ? NuForce DAC-9. | |
| Raidho C1.1 Oh, and not least: the new "fishbone" pattern ribbon in the tweeter of the C1.1 was (and of course remains) installed in their flagship, the C4's, which we heard during our visit as well, and even though the C4's at the time were not developed int... | |
| Raidho C1.1 Sadly, no - but perhaps this recent review of the C1.1's, if you haven't read it already, could illuminate a bit on the specific nature of the sonic changes/improvements: http://www.raidho.dk/uploads/RaidhoC11_audiobeat.pdf Almost two years ago I ... |
