| Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL? Since the matter of cable has come up, I though I would put in my 2 cents: 1)if you use the same interconnect in the signal path, you are probably ahead. 2) XLR is WAY better than RCA (that's why they were invented and are used in pro mics.). 3) S... | |
| Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL? I don't think that the soundstage is larger than life. The way I would characterize it would be to say the there is the illusion of more air around the instruments. What I am evaluating are commercial CD recordings that I actually made myself. Sin... | |
| Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL? To Cobra: loudness in live music is a mysterious thing. e.g. The loudest a solo violin can play is about .02 acoustic watts. A bass drum could pump out 20. That is roughly 1000 time louder, yet ,subjectively both can compete because subjective lou... | |
| Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL? I think that Ozzy's observations concur with mine. Luckily, I have a big, open area for my speakers (75 ft. long space with the speakers in the middle. I have mentioned in a few blogs that the distance and toe of the speakers might have to be adju... | |
| Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL? My suggestion about A/B comparisons is that you should use recordings that you know extremely well. In the What's Best Forum there was a lot of talk about whether the bypass mode really took the unit out of the equation. My experience with about 7... | |
| Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL? What I did was to leave my FM tuner on for about three days straight. I really think that you need at least 200 hrs. before you can evaluate. I was lucky in that my unit has been used as a demo for about 100 hrs. before I even hooked it up. In the... | |
| Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL? You may be correct about the burn in. I also used a short, aftermarket power cord, rather than stock. I had the unit connected with XLR cables between preamp and amp. I wonder if this unit is anything like the FM Aoustics Linearizer. SInce trhe qo... | |
| Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL? The unit operates in the analog mode: so, it is placed between the preamp and amp. Sound quality improved considerably after break in, as it is with all electronics. Also, since I had to use an extra pair of XLR cables, they had to be broken it as... | |
| Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL? I have had a unit for a few days, and it has been broken in for about 150 hrs. I think that it is probably a breakthrough product because it addresses the problem of phase relationships, which usually sound flattened out but which are allowed to b... | |
| Amp advice for Sound Lab M-2's I have had M-1's for about three years, about 9 months ago getting the new PX panels. Initially, I was powering them with a hybrid tube amp made by the Moscode people with good results (this proprietary design was built on the old 600 with two pow... | |
| Your Favorite Top 10 tuners all time I have used a McIntosh MR 71 for about 20 years and have loved it. However, I got got a mod (new power supply and audio output) mr 78 and think that it is just about hte best tuner I have ever heard. Also, it is one of the most beautiful pieces of... | |
| Emm Labs Transport with other DAC? I am using a pre SE CDSD (replaced my front end with all EMM SE) in another system with a Mark Levinson No. 36 DAC by the AES/EBU connection. I find the sound to be excellent, but not up to the SE pair. | |
| Cables are just the "B" section My experience with the external devices is that they are not as effective. What I disvcovered is that the whole dedicated line must be treated BEFORE the wall sockets. I got this tip from one of the engineers at ES. Going this route is a lot of tr... | |
| What is the best DAC ever made? I have owned Wadia, Mark Levinson, Accuphase top of the line DAC,s but the absolute best combination is the EMM Labs DAC 6e Signature Edition with the SE CDSD transport. Nothing else comes close, especially after about 200 hours of break in. the u... | |
| EMM Labs DAC 6 Inputs Even though your request is months old, I assume you still need the input. There is one BNC out from the word clock and three PCM inputs (AES/EBU). In upsampled DSD mode, the three ATT glass (clock in/out and data in) are usd, and the PCM inputs a... |
