| Can $15,000 Sound As Good As $75,000? I think I am is slight disagreement/ My wife and I go to a lot, 3 plus times a month, of live orchestral classical music and opera. We got into this hobby years ago trying to reproduce the this live experience as close as possible. When your regul... | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group One additional suggestion which is a substitute for indpendent measurement. Get a good Mercury Living Presence CD that was recorded in Mono. A stereo recording played in mono won't work because you do't know the actual left right time response. I ... | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group For any DSP room correction system:For 5: Remeasure only when things that impact the time behavior or gross frequency behaviours of your system change. That includes new speakers, new pieces of furniture, moving your speakers, moving your furnitur... | |
| Help a Newbie I don't want to seem rude, but a decent explanation of what is going on in digital requires way more typing than is customary in these forums. Go to Amazon and order the book:The Complete Guide to High-End Audioby Robert Harley, Keith Jarrett.It w... | |
| Naxos Bruckner Symphony Set I recently listed to the Celi EMI recordings of Bruckner 4-9. as part of a general attempt in understanding the cult. I failed to understand the cult but I highly recommend the 4th. The 5th and 6th are OK but I would recommend staying away from 7-... | |
| Why so many DCS for sale recently? Last year I upgraded from my Theta Pro Gen Va (which I had upgraded to 96K) to one of the first MSB Platinum Links. This was a quite noticable upgrade and well worth the money. I highly recommend the Platinum Link to anyone especially after my lat... | |
| Confused By A Transport Upgrade I would second Whatjd's comments and add to them. I have a Digital Music Express satellite set up to receive their 110 channels of music. In addition to the grounding issues, I have the receiver on a seperate AC line with heavy AC filtering. Howev... | |
| Use "regular" amp to power 'phones? Buy a used Melos preamp. They make great headphone amps. If you don't want to take your chances with build quality, Melos Restoration can service, rebuild etc for you. | |
| Confused By A Transport Upgrade Zerostat 59.95 at Audio Advisor. Don't tweak a system without one (unless you live in a way humid climate)http://www.audioadvisor.com/store/productdetail.asp?sku=MHZEROSTAT | |
| Question for SCD-1 and 777es owners. I don't find the MSB platinum dry but I hook it directly into my customized Melos 400 watt monoblocks to Dunlavy SC-V's. I thought it was definitely better than my upgraded Pro Gen Va and it even gives my current dCS 972/Elgar a good run for the m... | |
| Dogs who love music I had a Maine Coon cat who loved Brahms and Bruckner. He would fight you for the sweet spot. It was a gas watching his ears rotate to follow the counterpoint between the instrumental choirs. He also hated the Ramones and would screech at you if yo... | |
| old zz top recordings You are right about the remasters. There are two ZZ Top Six Pack sets on auction at ebay right now. Heartland America sells a CD polisher that does work on those party CD disasters. | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group I don't know the recordings you refer to and I can't hear your room but there are several things that COULD be going on. I say could because it would take careful measurement and listening to determine it. The most general reason is that those rec... | |
| Wadia 27/270 vs. dCS Delius+Purcell I have compared the Wadia 27/270 to the dCS 972/Elgar combo (which I own). I drive my customized Melos Monoblocks directly with the Elgar. I use a Sigtech room DSP and Dunlavy SC-V's. I have a shunt to ground volume control in each monblock so for... | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group Short answer,many "poor" recordings aren't that bad. They just have significant musical info in frequency bands that are distorted by room interactions. It is EXACTLY like removing distortion. As I have said in previous posts, most audiophiles wil... |
