| Clarity Organic Speaker Cables Well... they aren't exactly inexpensive. Branislav, I take your "too revealing" comment to mean "too bright," for your taste and system, is that correct?I recently had a similar experience with the DH Labs cables. I think their Revelation intercon... | |
| Phono pre direct to amp, what am I missing? Most preamps also add between 10 and 20dB of gain, so it depends on the efficiency of your speakers and the gain of your phono preamp and cartridge as to whether or not you would have adequate gain to play at the volume level you like.If you have ... | |
| Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions" I think if it sounds good to you it's great. Two problems in asking for this kind of advice: 1) Probably no one else here has that exact same combination of components and cables, and 2) You don't list any of your other cables so how is anyone to ... | |
| Expensive amp or cheap classdaudio? Yes, I have a slightly modified TriPath Class D amp rated at 60 watts/channel @ 4-ohms and 100Wpc @ 8-ohms. The power supply caps were replaced with higher capacity capacitors and it sounds wonderful. In fact, it replaced my QuickSilver GLA tube a... | |
| Preamp with phase invert and balanced out??? I believe the Wyred 4 Sound preamps, DAC's, and Integrated amps all have the polarity/phase invert feature on the remote controls. I have the integrated STI-500 and also had the DAC-2 which had that feature.Additionally, the Cambridge Audio DacMag... | |
| replacement belt for a Maplenoll Ariadne I'd contact either Lloyd Walker at Walker Audio or Pierre Sprey at Mapleshade Audio. One of them may have some information. | |
| Lyngdorf RP-1 Curriemt11, I use the Lyngdorf DPA-1 digital preamplifier in my system and couldn't agree more. It provided a major upgrade for my system.I also have a very good turntable and cartridge in this system and it sounds great. If I didn't tell a guest ... | |
| HUH? Is this unusual? No, it's not usual at all. I left that set there by mistake when I was in Wisconsin on business. If I send you my shipping address can you send those to me? | |
| How a nickel can make a valuable improvement Does it work better if you stick the points in Monticello's main entrance or in Jefferson's ear? | |
| Need advice, on a preamp for a Denon DL-130R Here's a no-brainer: The Ray Samuels F117 Nighthawk. Sounds wonderful and is quiet as a mouse even with low output MC cartridges like yours. | |
| I love my VPI Scout You could buy a new TT, but what phono preamp and cartridge are you using? Those things can make as large a difference as buying a new TT... | |
| Vinyl. Is it me? the producer? cartridge? Record? If only 30 out of 1000 sound great then even though those 30 sound wonderful, as someone else suggested, your system likely sounds bright and those 30 are on the laid-back or rolled-off side of neutral.If it were the other way around with the bulk... | |
| "Neutral/Clear Amp vs. Dark Amp" I have not heard the H20, but it has a very good reputation among audiophiles.I am using the Wyred 4 Sound STI-500 (integrated) the basic version is the ST-500 and these amps also use the B&O ICE modules. I'd consider mine dead neutral and mus... | |
| Do you ground your bearing? My Michell is grounded, and came that way. I once tried grounding a VPI Aries but it didn't make much difference as I recall. Maybe yours is an unusual case... | |
| can this fact be accurate? If Stereophile has 65,000 subscribers I wonder what percentage of high-end audiophiles that actually represents. I have been a high-end audiophile for years and have not subscribed to Stereophile for at least a dozen years even with their $10/year... |
