| That nice, unforced, relaxed, easeful sound ?? You bet! | |
| Signal Cable Silver Resolution Guys, I've done a lot of listening to the Silver Resolution cables in two different systems, and I really like the interconnects. They do offer higher resolution than the Analog Twos and have deeper bass. They also have a bit more presense in the ... | |
| Are new tubes supposed to do this? No, they're not supposed to do that. It sounds like some voltage may be arcing across the tube pins at turn on. You might want to look at the underside of the circuit board to see if you can locate the place (burnt spot) where the arcing is taking... | |
| Tuners that do it? Thanks to all for sharing your ideas and experience. I will have to check out some other tuners... All the support for the Magnum Dynalab line has me curious about them; and I'll also visit fmtunerinfo.com.Dan, if you like Cat Stevens, I can highl... | |
| VPI turntable again...... Edle, the tone of your reply makes me think you have some sort of grievance with VPI that may be unrelated to the engineering issues at hand (or ear)... I highly doubt that the "noise" is getting worse in spite of your argument to the contrary.Asi... | |
| Tuners that do it? Dan, I think you're right -- I am happily enjoying this discovery. I had some Christmas music on this morning and it sounded great.BTW, Muzikat, have you seen Cat Stevens' Majikat DVD?Frank :) | |
| VPI turntable again...... Maybe, but most VPI owners/users do not have the tri-pulley feature or the two-motor TNT model...The tri-pulley setup was passive and the idea was to put even pressure on the main bearing (actually, no pressure) by balancing the force around the p... | |
| Blown Tweeter & midrange fuses Magnepan 3.6r I think 250 watts per channel may not be adequate for your room size and listening levels. Maybe you should look at 500+ watt amps.Anyone who is driving 3.6's in a "good size room" with 40 Watts per channel must be clipping the amps like crazy. My... | |
| How's my imaging? I don't know, is your center channel on or off??? If it's off your result is strange. If on, it's normal... In any case it probably doesn't matter that much in the grand scheme of things. How does it sound and image otherwise? | |
| How do you know if a cable is neutral? Don't the neutral ones say "neutral" on the label or packaging? :) | |
| Has hi fi become too specialized Stehno, that's the basic nuts and bolts of it, but I tend to think that the AC power rituals are somewhat over-rated.I don't have and have never had dedicated lines, cryo-treated outlets, or elaborate AC purifying devices in my system (except I on... | |
| Has hi fi become too specialized Well said, Bigtee. I just wanted to add that it is probably to the dealers benefit to feed and encourage the "ruthlessly revealing" school of thought. That way, when the system you just plunked down thousands to own sounds bad he simply says, "Yea... | |
| Has hi fi become too specialized Nocaster, it's not that Hi Fi has become too specialized. It's just that many folks would rather believe that 90 percent of their recordings sound awful rather than admit that their expensive new audio gear could be at fault. I've owned a wide var... | |
| ps audio hca/pca upgrade PS Audio is coming out with a completely new line of amplification products within the next month. Perhaps buying one of the new amps like the GCC-250 would be a more effective way of increasing performance rather than modding your current gear. T... | |
| Going to take the plunge on JM Lab Micro Utopia Be Try the VMPS 626R monitors. With all the upgrades including the expensive TRT caps, they are around $4k; but they'll be very hard to beat. There's a review of them by John Beavers in this month's Positive Feedback (online). I own the larger floors... |
