| preamp for dartzeel amp? The preamp section on the DCC2SE is, as Dennis the Menace says, quite good, but having used it for a while while my Jadis preamp is in the shop I have found that it lacks the dynamics, bloom and spaciousness of a great tubed preamp (like a Jadis).... | |
| Second failure of new amplifier Undertow: While your analysis would normally be correct on the above facts, the poster had an earlier thread where he said that he had used the amp for a week with no problems with the stock tubes, then decided to tube-roll and started having the ... | |
| Schumann Resonance and it's effect on music "Also, by generating the Schumann Resonance, there is an effect that it neutralizes harmful standing waves."This part of the explanation, I might add in fairness, might have a small grain of substance to it, though not much and actually the device... | |
| Schumann Resonance and it's effect on music Is Machina Dynamica behind this tweak? The explanations sound like snake oil to me. It may in fact work, but I do note that too loud a signal at that frequency should make you sick to your stomach and could even do you harm; and if it's set too lo... | |
| Second failure of new amplifier Does the amplifier exhibit the same behavior with the stock tubes? I would suggest putting them back in and seeing if the problem occurs again--if so, then the problem may not be attributable to the NOS tubes. I would not think tube rolling with t... | |
| I was driving my wife's new 2008 Acura RDX In all seriousness, while I don't like Bose systems, they do sound pleasing in the midrange and their philosophies of sound reproduction probably work decently in a car system (though I turned it down as an option in my wife's Audi). Does this new... | |
| Preamp to mate with Krell KSA-50 mkII My old Krell KSA 50MkII worked very well with an Audio Research SP11. ARC gear serems to work well with Krell amps, and I imagine CJ might as well.Keep the KSA 50, it is a remarkable amp. | |
| I was driving my wife's new 2008 Acura RDX Perhaps the room acoustics aren't the best. Have you considered adding sound-absorbing materials throughout the car's hard surfaces, such as the windows? :~) | |
| Emm labs CDSD se & dcc2 se- any updates I still think it's one of the best. Have not upgraded mine (it's an SE)nor heard of any upgrades as of yet. As my Jadis JP200 is off for a repair (Cap went bad after 10 years), I'm using my DCC2SE as a preamp--it's very good, lacks just that last ... | |
| Finding a DAC that will process SACD's Won't work. For a transport to pass a DSD signal, and for a DAC to take a DSD signal, requires a special interface. While some transport/DAC systems from dCS, Accuphase, Esoteric and EMM Labs, to name a few, exist, they are proprietary and limited... | |
| How do you move a 650lbs Rack on Hardwood... Not sure what the clearance on your casters or the MA roller casters is, but I had a guy build me a platform on which all my racks sit. That probably doesn't help you, but what it rolls on are the wheels you can get at Home Depot to put under your... | |
| Wife wants a black faced receiver to replace Rotel Trade on A-goN for a black one? I think they make them. Otherwise, somewhat comparable units would be Marantz (slightly warmer, in my recollection) and Arcam (a small step up). | |
| The CD you most listened to back in 2007 ? Like Dweller, the Pentatone SACD of Julia Fischer playing Mozart Violin Concerti 1, 2 and 5. Superb sonics and performances. | |
| Using Krell rca & bal outputs for the same channel I doubt they're missing, aren't they coming through your main speakers? You would certainly notice that big a gap in frequencies in any musical content. Just because there is an upper cutoff for the LFE channel doesn't mean that the output to the ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Montepilot: The one Classic reissue of the Heifetz recordings that is problematic is the Bruch Scottish Fantasy. I love the reading, but there is a constant low frequency rumble in the recording (either subways or the conductor bouncing on the pod... |
