| Is the Esoteric P03/D03 still relevant? Bvdiman, nicely clarified, sounds logical. | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Just trying to be helpful Drewan. Happy listening. | |
| Any suggestions where to find used pair B&W 801D? Hey BCGATOR, I'm in BC so of course I like the "snow" reference. I also figured out the sdr part meant 'sadder', as in sad sack (of beans). Cheers. | |
| why balanced power last before component? Atma, as a follow up, in Baggini's book there is a section titledMONITORING POWER QUALITY. In it Andreas Sumper & Samuel Galceran-Arellano open by stating "power quality phenomenon are physical phenomenon that, in many cases, are APPEARING AND... | |
| why balanced power last before component? Atma, instead of being troubled or suspicious, neither of which sounds like fun; why not turn your 'concerns' into profit?It sounds like you have a solution for which the need is there. People are obviously spending (wasting?) money on relatively ... | |
| SACD... can you hear the difference? I agree Ghost that it can be hard to detect absolute phase. One big reason is the digital mastering/remastering process. Apparently most digital reissues would sound better if they were never remastered digitally. | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Drewan, to eliminate that "slightly more artificial and brittle"sound it the top end- I suggest experimenting with ac isolation and conditioning devices for your unit and source, and some high quality power cords. Good luck. I agree it's difficult... | |
| why balanced power last before component? The only reason you don't agree is your present lack of specialized knowledge about "Balanced Power". The statement that individual grounding is more effective is utterly untrue (and I wouldn't want to misinform through my thread). The EQUITECH we... | |
| why balanced power last before component? The final point is interesting.. but misleading -if I understand it to mean the maximum noise attenuation that can be provided by a balanced power system 10db. Can we agree that due to the physics of balanced power there is the potential for a ran... | |
| SACD... can you hear the difference? Remember to just play one CD in comparing your sound. Perhaps note what what phase that CD is for future reference. | |
| phase control on BAT VK pre amps To summarize the reality of correct phase. When your system is tuned up and more/fully revealing playing in "reverse" phase to the way it was recorded simply sounds slow,dull,boring. In correct phase -gives the goosebumbs music is famous for. ;-).... | |
| Any suggestion of preamp for Pass' pwr amp X.5 Spectral. | |
| phase control on BAT VK pre amps If there is little to no difference using the phase switch it simply means your overall resolution-coming via your entire system through your speakers-is not as refined as it should-and can-be. Power cords, i/c's and speaker cables are all vital (... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Very interesting to hear the DAC function sounds at least as good as the ARC Ref CD 8--impressive! And it seems the preamp function is excellent as well. Do we have another OPPO here? Great usefulness and great value? | |
| How to improve power supply? Thanks Rod, that makes sense. So basically I take it there should be 'isolation' material as a "washer" between the afixing bolt head and transformer surface as well as under the transformer.I am going to check the torque required to loosen the bo... |
