| Audioquest colorado sound to bright The Cardas cables cetainly wouldn't be considered bright. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil I owned a pair of Spendor 9/1 speakers which cost around 6 grand in the early 90's. When I decided to upgrade the crossovers myself, I found that they were full of cheap Bennics also. I put in a bunch of Mundorf and Sonicaps and new wiring and the... | |
| Anyone try stuffing their ports? I have always been suspicious of port stuffing as a technically valid solution. If a speaker was designed to operate with a port, how can it be correct to plug the port, thereby making it a virtually sealed box? | |
| Speakers that excel at depth/layering/space Small ProAc speakers in the Response series, and the tablettes. Set up and synergy must be right, but they can certainly do it | |
| El cheapo sleeper amps.... Rrog,How did Sony make Marantz popular? | |
| Reimyo DAP777 or Dodson 218 ? I owned the Reimyo DAC, and it was not as good as my Audio Note Dac 1x in the areas of timbre and dynamics. I didnt't notice any real difference in "PRAT". For the price, I think it is very overrated. | |
| Speaker cabinets: How important is inert Well designed cabinets are certainly a major factor in a speaker's overall performance, but a very "dead" cabinet is not the only effective means of producing a good speaker. Two examples of the alternate route would be the Harbeth speakers and Au... | |
| Review: Einstein The Tube Linestage Tube preamp Allchemie,I'm jealous, great gear that you have there - enjoy it. | |
| What's the objection to Floor Standing Speakers? Elizabeth, where are you! | |
| any comments on the YS Audio Experience A2 or A2SE There are plenty of threads with members who own them giving their opinions and making comparisons. Look it up in the archives. | |
| Throwing your gear under the bus Oh, it hurts to think about these things. Most painful- I sold my McIntosh MC 300 to buy a Pass Labs X250.5. Just didn't work in my system. | |
| what amp goes best with speakers ? I think you need to concentrate on one system at a time- the most important one first. Keeping the component in that system that you like the best, build around it based on advice from people here who have the same component in their system. | |
| Any experience with Audio Experience A2 preamp ? Audioman58,Do you refute what YS Audio said? Did you ever own the preamp, or were you just saying you did? | |
| Any thoughts on Spendor 9/1 - Are they worth buyin I owned a pair for 3 years, and I can recommend them. As you would expect from Spendor, the midrange is really beautiful. They are not at all bright, so hot recordings don't hurt, which is a plus for a lot of rock and pop. Electronic music is fine... | |
| Best tweak - System Improvement Thanks for the heads up Audioman58. I would like to give a round of applause to Starsound SP-101 speaker platforms. as Sebrof said, tweeks that work well in one system may be poison to another. Having said that, I don't think it applies to these p... |
