| My system is bright? I need help. thanks Tvad, you've summed it up nicely. Speaker positioning is not the only issue he didn't get optimum sound from his system. He didn't have a dedicated room and most importantly there is little or no provisions made to room treatments as brought up ea... | |
| Questions for specialists on “warmth” Your humour in your thread made me burst into laughter for a while. Anyway...I was quite mixed up with adjectives/hifi jargons used in description as well but got that sorted out now. cold=bright=harshrevealing=neutralwarm=*can't think of any syno... | |
| My system is bright? I need help. thanks Since you have tried various speaker placement and the brightness is still prevalent, it's down to the electronics. The synergy between your speakers and the Musical Fidelity amp, in my opinion and some others, is the culprit. You can of course tr... | |
| My system is bright? I need help. thanks I agree with Tvad wholeheartedly. Speaker placement and the room itself have the most impact on the perceived brightness apart from your electronics. Cables have the least effect and should only be addressed when you've sort out the rest ie. speak... | |
| Meridian 508.24 problem Strooper, before you send your player for repair, try cleaning the lens with a dry cotton bud. If this method fails I think you need to give Meridian a call. | |
| What should be the first component when upgrading? I guess your budget dictates which component you should be upgrading first ie. the cheapest one. I think it doesn't matter which component you should be upgrading first since you're upgrading everything in the end aren't you? If I were to choose, ... | |
| cdp's you had glitches with An old Sony player from the 80's that start giving problems going into the 5th year of use. Even the technician gave up and refused to attend to the piece of junk after several times of servicing and repair. It eventuall7y ended up in the garbage ... | |
| HELP...Bubble Wrap Marks in PIANO BLACK Speakers?? Just a note, normally the professional that refurbishes pianos would advise against a total repaint job since they wouldn't look good compared to original even though they have done a good job. In most cases they would try to grind off and polish ... | |
| HELP...Bubble Wrap Marks in PIANO BLACK Speakers?? I have no clue how the bubble wrap can leave permanent marks on the piano finish of the speakers. Since you have tried various methods without any degrees of success, I would stop trying. You won't know as you may do more harm than good. As some p... | |
| Levinson upsampled? Ecamel,Would like to seek your opinion. I also have the Sony XA7ES. Does adding a DAC improve the sound significantly?Thanks. | |
| Need a warm speaker for a bright room The first poster describes it brilliantly. Having overcome your bright room and you still want warm speakers, you can consider Sonus Fabers. | |
| Krell Driving Fronts and HT Amp Driving Cent/Rears Thanks for the tip Albert. I was not ready to spend a huge amount of money into HT amplification as I share the same belief as yourself. As for now, I think I'll concentrate on maximising the potential of my two-channel. I may have the possibility... | |
| Tired of boring, polite, laid-back sound..... Without taking into consideration the context of the rest of your system, please scratch Arcam off the list if you are looking for a lively and upfront presentation. Having owned the Arcam Alpha 10 integrated amp, I just can say that this amp is s... | |
| High End Integrated Choices I like your speakers(owned the N805). I would suggest adding the new line of Classe integrateds in your list. Having that said, the older CAP-151 might just cut it at a cheaper price. | |
| Sonic Frontiers Line - 1 Volume Control I have owned the Line 1. The unit went 'out'(cannot be switched on) in the 2nd year of use, and similiar problem arised just after one year. I've also encountered problems with the fancy volume control whereby the unit was not responsive in turnin... |
