| No preamp in system The CJ is finally back in the system and the difference is wonderful. All of the harmonics are now in place, and the highs are extant and very sweet. Soundstage is back to being huge. AT LAST! | |
| No preamp in system Well, after waiting two months for service my CJ is finally repaired. However, on the way home I dropped it on the ground (from not too high) bringing it into the house. I called the technician who said if probably won’t have damaged it. I chec... | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? Carole King and Gerry Goffin Tonight you're mine completely You give your love so sweetly Tonight the light of love is in your eyes But will you love me tomorrow? Is this a lasting treasure Or just a moment's pleasure? Can I believe the magic of... | |
| Music Machine The point of having a stereo system is to enjoy the world’s music. | |
| Music Machine Mr D Thanks for the response. ‘Hope all is well for you too. | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? I may be in the minority here, but I do think it’s overkill to spend 50K on a DAC. Even if you could afford it, how much better will it help you get into the music, which I believe is the central point of our hobby? You certainly can do that for ... | |
| Is it possible to find a good DAC for under $50, 000? To quote the TV commercial for dog food: ”What are we doin’ here?” | |
| Switched from Yggdrasil to Gungnir Multibit. These posts are from 2019! Six years ago. i evolved several years later to the Benchmark DAC3 which I love. | |
| No preamp in system @mrdecibel Hi! I hope all is going well with you too. To answer your question: Without the preamp most everything sounds very good, but is missing something. That something is the high frequencies and, to an extent, soundstaging. And, on som... | |
| No sound I want to point out how the perception of our equipment changes over time. I’m getting so use to the sound of the unit without a preamp to the point that I’m accepting it as good sound. It reveals something about our hobby. When we get new equip... | |
| No sound Well, the repair the CJ is finally taking place The repair store had to send out for NOS parts because the unit is so old (even though it has newish Teflon caps.). It should be ready by next week at the latest. | |
| Does loudness play a part in your appreciation? It should also be noted that the space in which you listen music in a concert hall is vastly bigger than your home listening space. The music reaches you from a much different perspective. 80 dBs in a concert hall is not the same as 80 dBs in yo... | |
| Does loudness play a part in your appreciation? I was a classical musician who “lived in the world of real music.” My perception in the world of classical music was that in a musical space, like the stage in a concert hall, I was not deafened by the volume of the music. Granted it may have b... | |
| Does loudness play a part in your appreciation? @carlso63 I’m about 8 feet from the speakers. I’m seated at this distance. The room is 23’ by 25’. Drivers are arranged up and down the front of the speakers. ‘Maybe the size of your room dissipates the sound differently from mine. 80dB is ove... | |
| Does loudness play a part in your appreciation? Absolutely right. You can’t reproduce a symphony orchestra In your living room. Even if you match the decibel reading level it will not sound the same. Either my meter is broken or my ears are too sensitive, but listening continuously at 80 dec... |
