| Problem with lower frequency bass. Please advise. I "hear" your pain. Bass is extremely complex as the room is so important. It is actually part of your "speaker" cone. No two speakers load to the room alike. Most put the new speakers near where the older speakers were. This is almost always "wro... | |
| Why does better power = better sound? ...Borrow or have someone construct some for you and have a listen...Did that, heard nothing. A three foot piece of cord is not an intellegent attribute to sound in this block of the circuit. You might have crappy contact (IEC's are especially ter... | |
| WHAT GOOD IS SPEAKER AND CABLE IMPEDANCE ANYWAY? ...I can sense the responses being worked up...With all the mis information out there, there should be plenty. Ignorance is not bliss, but can be very expensive for those that are taken advantage of every day. This thread isn't for me Bombaywalla. | |
| Speaker burn/break in benefits? I listened to older speakers with some "mileage" on them. Very high-end speakers are all break-in subjects. Even the owners manual will say, "sonic abberations are apparent during break-in". Speakers are just electro-mechanical devices that are NO... | |
| Doge 8 and Conrad Johnson ET-3 I sure hope it doesn't sound like the CJ ET3SE! That unit was way warm and diffuse sounding. I listened to it at length and it was just too "confined" sounding. No openness around the instruments but very good left to right soundstage. The Doge 8 ... | |
| Speaker burn/break in benefits? Ummm, every high-end speaker I've recentlly owned (Vandersteen Quatro woods and DynAudio C4 signature II's) sounded plain weird till they broke-in. And I do mean weird. After break-in, all was good. How long? Hard to say but you know it when you h... | |
| Dynaudio C2 II Signature VS. Revel Ultima Studio 2 My C4 signature II models do fine at low volumes. The older C4's are reported to be harder to make come alive. But, I can only report on my series II models. I listen at 80-83 dB average, and things are just fine.Bass is tight and actually could b... | |
| Is a Doge 8 Clarity preamp noisy with an 0.4 mc? They say that the key issue is the voltage output of your MC cartridge. From what I hear, it has to be 0.25 MV or greater to be "acceptable". I have a Benz Micro RUBY 3, and it is rated at 0.34 MV. So, this "should" be OK.I also have a DENON 103R,... | |
| Dynaudio C2 II Signature VS. Revel Ultima Studio 2 Signature upgrade is;"The crossover has been further optimized, while the internal wiring has been upgraded. With these upgrades, the second-generation model designations are now Confidence II and Confidence Signature.""The Confidence Signature mo... | |
| Review: Pass Labs XP-10 Preamplifier I used ONE output from the XP-10 or RLD-1 platinum to the DD10+ stereo subs. I used the RIGHT channel input on each sub (LFE input) since it is already left and right out of the pre-amp.From the sub, you can use the "thru" RCA output or 80 Hz / 10... | |
| Review: SMc Audio RLD-1 2012 Platinum Edition Preamplifier My very best descrption of the sound is VERY smooth. This unit does not ever get "harsh" sounding. As a matter of fact, You tend to play it louder (till my wife yells, "what's going on down there!) without realizing it.This unit images more forwar... | |
| DOGE 8 Clarity - Is it in the running, really? I already have a SimAudio MOON LP-5.3 headamp that is pretty darn good so, the option is there to try either MC input path (Clarity MC or SimAudio MC) and use the better of the two. I'd like to try tubes, and this seems like a pretty decent unit. ... | |
| $1,500 Amp budget - Best options? I second the ODYSSEY option. My KISMET mono amps have been great for the price, and the C4 signatures like them. The STRATOS line is a real good value, and should fall in your price range. I too looked for good amps at a reasonable price, and took... | |
| Dynaudio c1 vs dynaudio c4 My C-4 signatures sounded awful till they ran in awhile, and I do mean strange and awful. Beaming midrange and just plain weird. Not so after many, many hours. It seem high-end drivers just aren't themselves till you run them in awhile. I'd wait a... | |
| Review: Pass Labs XP-10 Preamplifier Hey OZZY, Ya' know something? I added two Velodyne DD10+ subs in true stereo with the XP-10 and it's dynamite. Well, it can play the sound of dynamite, that's for sure. As good as the C4's are, the addition of subs hi-passed in at 80 Hz is amazing... |
