| I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why. I'll pass on tone controls. I play music and every song can sound different...some will be bright, while others may not. I assume each song sounds different because of the way it was recorded and I wouldn't want to make adjustments every-time I li... | |
| Power Cords freesole,My dealer told me today, "he doesn't have a ship date for the source power cord." I'll be sure to post my thoughts, but remember there are no absolutes in audio, only preferences. I've become a strong advocate of listening with your owns ... | |
| What will a preamp do for me? George, Count me in the crowd that likes to color the sound. I've had the PS Audio Directstream, Bricasti M1, Jeff Rowland Aeris, and Chord Dave. I tried all of them directly into my amp and preferred the sound with a preamp in every single case. | |
| Power Cords Audioquest finally has a Hurricane source powercord. I just ordered one for my music server. | |
| First World Problem in need of Solution atownkeep,My Jeff Rowland 625 S2 amp drives my Monitor Audio PL500 II front speakers. My ATI AT523NC 3-channel amp drives my center and rears. I'm not doing "critical listening", so when I watch television or a movie I don't notice a significant ... | |
| Chord Dave Replacement toetapaudio,I sent you a PM. I'm also looking into the Hugo M Scaler and Blu mk2 as possible upgrades. | |
| Chord Dave Replacement Thanks for the responses. frozentundra,I do use Roon and I'll try the linear warm filter. | |
| First World Problem in need of Solution I don't believe you can just purchase a HT processor. You need a multi-channel amp to run your center and rear channels and a HT Processor to run through your preamp's HT bypass. I have a 5.1 system that you can view under virtual systems. | |
| Love to hear from current owners or past users of Isoacoustics Gaia footers. I replaced the stock footers. I have Stillpoints under the rest of my components. The GAIA's improved bass articulation and allows the speakers to disappear better. It's not a night and day difference. You have to hear them in your own system to d... | |
| Love to hear from current owners or past users of Isoacoustics Gaia footers. I have GAIA I's on my speakers and I'm very happy with them. | |
| Audioquest 5000 or ??? I had a Audioquest 1000 power conditioner and now I have a Torus RM20. My system sounds more dynamic with the RM20. | |
| How to assess and quantify system improvement and changes? I’ve been guilty of hyperbole also, but I realize I was doing such a disservice to so many. Now I try very hard to put things in perspective and frequently say, "there are no absolutes in audio, only preferences. In addition, I submit at a certain... | |
| Best audio companies and dealers Jeff Rowland...truly outstanding customer service. I've talked to Mr. Rowland several times. Although I haven't purchased anything from them yet, www.suprahifi.com. Suprahifi is very down to earth. | |
| best preamps boxer12,Thanks. | |
| best preamps richopp,I have a Jeff Rowland Corus preamp. I keep reading their preamps sound bad. I’ve compared it to a couple preamps and prefer the Corus. I’m always open to improving my sound, but I need a preamp with HT bypass, specifications that will work... |
