| Has anyone ever seen/heard a Raidho C4 in person? I heard the C4's at the Raidho facility in Denmark back in April 2010. At the time they weren't 100% production matured(though close, I gather), being that Mr. Kristensen and his staff were still tinkering with various aspects of their sound repro... | |
| Use of isolation transformer Ok, measurements from today's test are revealed below. I must add that my setup - DAC, poweramp, and HTP - is star-grounded, and I live in a 2nd floor apartment(build '58) in Denmark. None of the ISO transformers are grounded. Wall outlet voltage ... | |
| Survey-What is your most used source? Lossless files, exclusively - mostly WAV, rest FLAC - stored on harddrive and played back from RAM(memory play) via JRiver MC17. | |
| Use of isolation transformer Jea48(Jim) - Thanks again for your reply. I'll have a friend over with a voltage meter this coming weekend, and we'll then make the test and see what it reveals. I'm guessing my sonic evaluations, being that they're consistent in both cases, will ... | |
| Use of isolation transformer Thanks to all for the replies. I would seem a balanced isolation transformer, feeding all components, is a viable solution both with regard to size and noise level - disregarding cost, not that I believe it'll be an excessive figure. I'll have thi... | |
| Use of isolation transformer 06-02-12: ElizabethThis will turn into a circus..How do you mean? For the op, one additional step you might try IS getting a isolation transformer which changes the incoming voltage from single ended 120v/0v to balanced power of 60v/60v AC.And see... | |
| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? On the Speakers front page at the very bottom, why is this thread suddenly relegated to having had the latest post on New Year's Eve Day '69??? | |
| 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... |
