| Most pleasing sound vs most hifi sound Abucktwoeighty- You should feel sorry for those bikers. Generally speaking: The louder the pipes and the longer the front-end, the shorter the penis(it's a way of compensating). My neighborhood has it's share of noise too. I've installed 1/4" Lexa... | |
| Speakers and depth... What amps, tubes, interconnects, speaker cables are you using? Is there anything standing between your speakers? Everything is critical when trying to recreate ambience information with a system. If that's an NAD 3020 you are referring to: SS gene... | |
| The Definition of An Audiophile Audia- My pleasure. Enjoy your music! | |
| Most pleasing sound vs most hifi sound I get the same pleasure out of the exhaust note of my Harley as I get from car audio(well- maybe more, since it IS the sound of freedom). My concentration is definately elsewhere. When in front of my home systems: It's all about the music, and lis... | |
| Audio Magic Stealth XXX Purifier I've had mine in the system for the past 4 years, and been very happy with the results. When I bought it, the unit popped and the LED went out upon plugging it in. Jerry had me box it up and return it to him. I got it back the same week, and never... | |
| How international is your system? OOPS- I forgot about my good old US of A made Audio Magic Stealth XXX. | |
| How international is your system? Hmmm, Let's see: Magnepan speakers, Balanced Audio Technology CDP, TacT Audio pre-amp, Cary Monoblocks(top), Hafler TransNova(bottom), My own design transmission line woofers with Nestorovic drivers, Magnepan tonearm, Kimber Select 1130, Silver Au... | |

| The Definition of An Audiophile Audia- Here's a decent little treatise that mirrors my opinion on the subject of compression, and will save me a lot of typing: (http://www.woodpecker.com/writing/essays/compression.html) | |
| Mundorf silver in oil cap burn in? Ecka- I don't know why I was thinking you had installed them in a pre-amp(mis-read apparently). The whole system would have to be in operation in the case of an amp mod(as you probably already know). Burn-in could be done with the speakers facing ... | |
| OK to use spades in bare wire terminal? The one-side-of-the-spade trick will work just fine. I've had to do it many times over the the years in testing situations. | |
| Calling all passive bi-ampers You may be able to obtain a copy of the manual or formulas from the seller in this auction. He mentions having a copy of the manual. (http://cgi.ebay.com/DAHLQUIST-DQ-LP1-passive-active-crossover_W0QQitemZ230247544266QQihZ013QQcategoryZ14977QQssPa... | |
| Mundorf silver in oil cap burn in? A faster/less painful way to burn them in: Use either a tuner, or CD player on repeat(something with heavy bass drive on either). Turn on only the source and pre-amp and let them run whenever you're not listening to the system. Your ears will love... | |
| Calling all passive bi-ampers That's exactly how the high-pass section of a Dahlquist DQ-LP1 Passive/Active x-over functions, though it may be necessary to add a resistor in parallel for proper alignment. Your amplifier is processing a full range signal otherwise, which is the... | |
| The Definition of An Audiophile Goldorak- She left and never really said why(at least that could hear). Thank you so much for the closure! |
