| Tube/SS synergy? Your bottleneck is the LS15 not the cd player. I have the same speakers as you, and had an LS15, so I have real world experience. The LS15 would be more at home with a small Proac or other monitor. It is sorely lacking on a full range speaker like... | |
| Copland DRC205 digital room correction Tbg, I know what you mean. I still have reservations about another box and cables in the signal path. However, most of my listening is using cd as a source so I figured another D/A conversion in the chain would not be sacrilige. Right now I have t... | |
| Tube sound with no tubes You may come close to "tube sound" with some of the brands mentioned but you will not achieve the dimensionality and soundstaging of a good tube preamp. For that, well, you need tubes, not transistors. | |
| Copland DRC205 digital room correction It has been a steep learning curve so far. The flat frequency response into the room in the treble freqencies does not sound right. Looking at the in-room frequency graphs of the more highly regarded speakers measured by Stereophile, all show a de... | |
| Spikes between speakers & stands, up or down? Ji2468,I would say the coupling pressure (pounds per square inch) would be much greater at the tip of a point than on a flat metal/wood plate. | |
| Spikes between speakers & stands, up or down? I an using Chicago stands like Tiger. They are spiked pointing up to the speaker from the base plate, and also spiked at the base of the stand to the carpet over concrete floor. The speakers are fairly light weight sealed box design Triad System 3... | |
| Copland DRC205 digital room correction I borrowed a laptop from my dealer and finally got to see what my room graph looked like. It is very interesting to see how the individual channels measure differently. I made my own P1 curve last night which will require a couple of days of liste... | |
| Amp upgrade ? What amp do you have now? Based on my recent experience with the ARC SP16, i would start the upgrade path by replacing it. I wanted a tube preamp to use while my VAC Renaissance is in for repair and updates. I brought home an SP16 and it took all ... | |
| Copland DRC205 digital room correction Wazmoh, I do believe I had the DRC connected when I installed the program but I will try the "un-install" and attempt to install it again and see what happens. The manual states it is Windows 98 compatable, but who knows.Another quibble, the instr... | |
| Copland DRC205 digital room correction Bigcahuna2000, I have the same problem. I received my DRC205 on Saturday. During installation of the software, right before the "finalize" screen it comes up with a page stating something to the effect of USB driver not found. The Copland software... | |
| Duevel Planets - comments? I listened to them at a dealer showroom and they were powered by Manley Mahi Mahi amps and Shrimp preamp. They sounded very good especially considering the price. Due to design they had wide dispersion and filled the room. The bass was full, not l... | |
| Copland DRC205 digital room correction A question for you guys that already have one, since the filter is set from just one microphone position, has it improved or degraded sound from other listening spots? I have my prime spot and two other chairs/sofa that I sometimes use. The useful... | |
| Copland DRC205 digital room correction I just ordered one today from my local dealer. The owner of the store claimed it worked great and he purchased one for himself. His shop specializes in tubed gear and he stated the DRC205 was very transparent and once accustomed to having it in th... | |
| Turntable will share wall with 52" flat panel ... I live in metro PHX and found a cabinet maker in the yellow pages and had a cabinet built to my specifications. I wanted a low unit (20 in high) so the screen would be at eye level and enough room at the end for my Cary tube amp. I got smoked glas... | |
| speaker/room bass modes I ordered the test cd from Rives and will see how that compares with the Stereophile cd. I do not suffer from any bass boom at all. It's just a general feeling that I get more thud than thump. |
