| Bryston sound 'neutral' ???? Well this is all subjective is it not. It depends on what an individuals definition of neutral is. If you lean towards the silky smooth, syrupy and warm sound as being neutral then no, the Bryston amps are not going to float your boat, so to speak... | |
| Audio Physic Avanti 5 I am a huge fan of the Audio Physic line. I once owned a pair of ML Quests and have heard the Prodigy and they are great speakers but I definitely prefer the Audio Physic speakers. I have never heard the Avanti but I have heard the Scorpios many, ... | |
| Sony PS3 Optical Out to a DAC? Some may disagee with me on this, but it has been my experience that the transport has just as much of an influence on how a two piece digital playback system sounds, as the DAC does. Absolutely you can hook up a PS3 optically to a top drawer DAC,... | |
| evs ground conrol tweak I own a pair. My thoughts basically mirror what Hdm had to say. At first I was quite impressed with the difference they made, but after awhile the sound of my system seemed disjointed, or more correctly disconnected, less of a whole so to speak. I... | |
| tributaries tx500 No offence, but i really don't understand the point of this type of inquiry. It would be a different story if you did not already own the componenet in question, but since you do, all you ahve to do is insert it into your system and try it. Try it... | |
| Shunyata CX Python Speaker Cables I had the oppurtunity to hear this new line at my dealer recently, and I completely agree with your findings. Shunyata has continued to improve their signal cables with each generation and the best thing is these new cables cost considerably less ... | |
| Help with choosing 5 channel amp Others I would add to your list would be the Cary Cinema 5 and Cinema 7 | |
| Seeking advice on how to improve my system I'm surprised that no one has mentioned acoustical treatment. Whether you want to admit it or not the room in which you listen is the most vital component of your playback system and ignoring the effects it can have on the qulity of music played b... | |
| EAD Powermaster 2000/EAD Ovation / Dunlavy No bass My guess is that you may have the bass management set up incorrectly in the Ovation processsor. Check to see that you are not re-directing low frequencies away from the mains. Even if you are listening in two channel only, with no sub-woofer, this... | |
| Bryston 14B ST vs 14B SST? What Markwatkiss says is correct. There is no difference between the ST and SST versions of the 14B. | |
| Amp to drive Dynaudio C-1 I have heard the C-1's at my local Dynaudio dealer many times with a plethora of different amps, no combination sounding better than the current one of C-1's and Audia Flight integrated amplifier. Not sure if it's the model one or two. Fanatastica... | |
| Heaven or Hell I used to think this phenomenon was due to the state of mind I was in while listening until, that is, I had an interesting experience. One evening I had a friend over and we were listening to several different recordings and the system sounded sub... | |
| Recommend me a prepro/amp combo for zu essence My suggestion to you would be to purchase used, and skew the cost heavily in favour of the pre/pro. A good amplifier is a good amplifier, but lower end pre/pro's with all of their processing and extra connectors,and such, have to be compromised so... | |
| Different characteristics of Shunyata VX line Most consider the Python to be the sweet spot in the VX line as well, not that the higher up models weren't better, they were, it's just that the factor of diminishing returns starts kicking in big time above the Python. | |
| DVD-A signal to my stand-alone DAC; problems No, I highly doubt it, unfortunately. Even if you could, the chances that your DAC would be able to decode the bitstream is virtually nil. You must understand that both SACD's DSD(direct stream digital)and DVD-A's MLP(Meridian Lossless Packing) we... |
