| Tell me about NAIM And, by the way, I don't like Naim gear much. Exagerated upper bass and a fatiguing etched sound where images have no palpability let alone depth, are my main concerns. Don't mean to trash the stuff, just point out the qualities I don't care for. ... | |
| Tell me about NAIM Cornfedboy, I sympathise with your bewilderment about the question, and find Casaross' post a little Jingoist and certainly simplistic, but no worse than my posts, for example. None of us have the time, space or audience to go much beyond generali... | |
| VooDoo Power Cords...What s the verdict? I would just like to echo Garfish's point. The Master Couplers may not be "cable of the month" but in my experience they have a particular (almost said unique) way about them that connects you to the music. I recently came across a power cable tha... | |
| What Type Brand of ST Glass Digital Cable? I have tried several of the cheap variety, but an Audioquest Optilink Pro 2 made mince-meat of them (the Pro 1 is not bad either). Even though the fibre diameters were the same the Audioquest had a far more natural presentation - the standard Siec... | |
| DH cones Try Final Daruma Bearings first. They caused me to put my DH Cones Super Cones back in the cupboard. | |
| 120Volts to 220Volts? The Arcam is designed in the UK (where the power is 230 Volts 50Hz) and it is highly unlikely they ordered a separate run of transformers for US sales. It is therefore very likely that there is a simple switch inside for switching to 230V. If anyt... | |
| Toobs + SS = x That's OK Ux4, and any comments made here will always be out of context - as Dekay indicates, what works in one context can never be assumed to be a universal rule. But if you take that view too far, we would be afraid to post any opinions at all ... | |
| Toobs + SS = x Oops. Now what have I done? I like valve power amps because every solid state amp I have heard suffers from being either lifeless or some nasties in the upper mids. I have also heard some lovely tube preamps, yet prefer the Placette Pre to all of ... | |
| Placette Passive Pre I agree too. The active Placette does the preamp job with out any significant coloration (just a touch of added sparkle). The passive version is lovely, and fantastic at the price, but I find passives (even the Placette) still don't quite make it.... | |
| Interesting reading for ESL owners I suggest that if you connect two interconnects at the same time to the CD output, it should not be a surprise if they sound similar when switching between them at the preamp. You just need to think about the circuit you have created. Secondly, sh... | |
| Anybody into Ben Harper? I like Ben's first two best. "Welcome to the Cruel World" and "Fight for Your Mind". The remainder have much less soul and therefore do less for me. I hope he returns to his earlier style one day. | |
| "Pace", it's importance for enjoyment? Coming from you, that's a compliment Snook. | |
| Tweak Reviews From Soundstage Thanks Megasam. I have bought two sets of Aurios and will let you know how I get on (they will probably arrive next week). | |
| brulee fails PC challenge Wooooaaaah!!! In a (probably vain) attempt to avoid the impending melt-down of this post, I will try to rapidly to engage Brulee back to the point of his post. The only way to test any component is to live with it for a month and reflect on how mu... | |
