| What s wrong with this picture? I hope you are both very happy, at least until it is obsoleted next month. | |
| This is THE powercord I want : Come out, come out, you lurking voter that disliked my post. Let me know what you disapproved of. | |
| For You: THE most imprortant element... I am with Ken. The timing cues that let you sink into or be swept up in the music are critical and unfortunately misunderstood alongside the more obvious issues of detail, dynamics and neutrality. | |
| The end of an affair? Sorry to tell you this Martice, but I had Line 1 before you did. She measures well, but I prefer a girl that is on the edge, not the straight and narrow. So I dumped her too. In the end I went for a pair of girls with big bottles (KT88s) but engag... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Fpeel, we have three choices. First, engage with 702, arguably letting him get our goats, but possibly driving the debate to some conclusion (eg. Jostler). Second, ignore him completely, thereby causing new (and other)posters here to be intimidate... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit I may be stupid, but I am not alone. In fact I like the company.I was surprised to find the cable was delivered yesterday (only ordered it Thursday last week). The manual was something less than I expected. First I made up the interconnects and in... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? 702, it sounds like you have played with as many power supplies as me. And yet unlike you I don't find exotic PCs silly. I did find them silly before I tried them though - which I guess is the difference between you and me. You illustrate this poi... | |
| Looking to Buy My First CD Transport You can get a Theta Data II for that price - much better than the Basic. But I must admit they are not the most reliable or easy to repair CD Transport I have owned. With other DACs I find the Data II trounces the DVD players, but you should reall... | |
| This is THE powercord I want : Personally I doubt that conductivity is what a great PC is about. Otherwise using the same stuff as you have in the wall as a PC would sound as good as or better than anything else (since 5 feet cannot be significant in the many metres overall). N... | |
| What is sound floor Hi Detlof. Just my opinion of course. Weighing components down can reduce the peakiness of resonances in the mids and highs, but just shifts them into the bass (at best). In my playing with using mass I eventually concluded that although neutralit... | |
| BEST AC CORD UNDER 1000? Back to Dynamics20 for a moment. I would expect the combo of Wadia 850 and Plinius SA100 to be a bit sterile and analytical. I doubt that PCs will fix this. I would experiment with perhaps a Cardas Golden Cross interconnect which will definitely c... | |
| What is sound floor When someone says that a change to their system lowered the noise floor they are saying they heard more low level detail emerge from the general murk that lives within the reproduced sound. The noise that is not correlated with the music is not us... | |
| Have Rogue Monoblocks, now what? I admire your coolness under fire Doug. | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Jhunter, in response to your "honestly, honestly don't understand why people are reluctant to evaluate components in this fashion". I can only give you my reasons, but suspect that they may overlap with others'. I find ABX testing provides far too... | |
| Shelf Material - Neuance Oh and by the way, you get a significant improvement if you use one rack per component - not always practical, but well worth it when you go down the "light and rigid" path. The Mana method of stacking racks works very well too. |
