| Low Frequency Rumble Question Jackcob, what records specifically are causing this rumble? That will give a clue. Like I said before, the Underground's rumblings are clearly audible on the British RCAs, throughout the recordings, and Classic's reissues are good enough to captur... | |
| Low Frequency Rumble Question Many of the RCA records recorded in England (for example, the Faust/Carmen or Royal Ballet Gala records), like their Decca counterparts, have glorious reproduction of the London Underground going by under the hall in which the recording took place... | |
| Adcom "B" stock amp into my NAD C340 integrated? Sean's advice is some of the best you'll ever get--give it some thought. You're better off avoiding the upgrade bug in a case like here, where you're really not, in my view, making a dramatic improvement over what you already have. Learn from my e... | |
| Transparent Reference Speaker Cable??? Personally, based on my experience with the Omega interconnects, I'd consider auditioning the better level Omega speaker cables as well. That said, a very picky and skeptical (about cable differences) friend of mine who listens primarily to female... | |
| Is it OK to leave a tube preamp on all the time? Detlof: A friend who also sold me that mother lode of Gold Lion KT88s. He's a contractor, and every now and then he's between jobs and lets a few of his stash go to me. In this case, I had to trade some Tele and Siemens Ccas to get them; if I ever... | |
| Upgrading Audio Logic 34 to 2400, good idea? If you really like the sound of it as is, you probably don't need to do the upgrade, although my experience has been that I like mine a good deal better after the upgrade. The focus of images within the soundstage is better, the resolution is bett... | |
| weird changes in sound Other than what you may have been smoking or drinking at the time? A loose connection with an interconnect, maybe? I once had a similar experience when I first got my Audio Logic DAC, apparently it took the MIT Multicaps a while to break in, and a... | |
| Is it OK to leave a tube preamp on all the time? I leave my JP80 on all the time, unless I'm going to be out for an extended time. It may or may not shorten tube life; some believe that the constant starting up of the tubes is more wearing on tubes than leaving them on continuously. If you get g... | |
| Avalon Acoustics' Eidolon Diamond Further to Linkster's post, also examine the cost of those enclosures--a lot of time and $$ for them in particular, and a significant reason Avalon speakers sound as good as they do. | |
| SACD/CD functions breaking in separatly? While Bomarc may ultimately be the most correct, as the other posters have mentioned there are indeed separate laser assemblies for SACD and CD, as well as pcm chips for the CD DAC, and they will break in separately even though the analog stage br... | |
| 15k blues For fear that their significant others may find out, perhaps? | |
| Are silver cables on the way out? Snooks' observation matches one that I heard a couple of years ago in my home. We had a new speaker being demoed for the NJ Audio Society in my home, which used a copper jumper between the bass section and the separate tweeter-midrange module that... | |
| 15k blues Or perhaps the vast majority of Audiogon members don't have that kind of money to spend? | |
| Best Sounding Tube Dac you ever heard. Doug, there is a common thread here, I believe Jerry also designed the Thor, as well as the Altis. Twilo knows my admiration for the Audio Logic DAC. I think that the Audio Aero may also be worthy of inclusion in this group, judging from the descr... | |
| Buggtussel speakers: a "sleeper" hi- end spker? Probably 100 to 6, given the number of legs? |
