| What is the range of human hearing? Zaikesman,It is possible that such "intermodulation products" in the audible band may affect the perception of sound. As of right now, it is only "accepted" that the presence of ultrasonic content in combination with low frequency (i.e. convention... | |
| What is the range of human hearing? Steady state tones, about 20 kHz. Harmonics/overtones, up to 80 kHz (maybe more - still a lot of study in this area of perceptual psychology). | |
| Any experiences with Eichmann Express Bullet Plugs I have compared the Bullet plugs directly to Cardas's top of the line RCA's on Silversmith Audio IC's. As a caveat, Silversmith replaces the "cheesy" plastic body with a fancier one. With that said, the cable with the Bullet Plugs was superior in ... | |
| Best all-around cartridge for 500.00 new Allison2, I know it may be pushing your budget, but for $650 you can get a Shelter 501 MkII, which is a substantially better cartridge than any of the ones listed above, and indeed competes with cartridges costing $2-3k. If that is a little too fa... | |
| Does anyone own a Shunyata Hydra? I'd like to offer an alternative view than the ones stated above. I have owned the Hydra, the Power Plant 300, the Power Plant 600 (and currently still own the Hydra and a modified PP300). I do not agree that, in all instances, the Hydra "blows aw... | |
| Best high end multi-disc player as transport? Nakamichi made a very expensive multi-disc transport (the Dragon), which reputedly was the best multi-disc transport out there (the retail price with the accompanying Dragon DAC was ~$15,000). However, I have no experience with it. | |
| Anyone with parralel line conditioner experience? The MIT Z-Stabilizer is also a parallel conditioner - PS Audio has even commented on the positive benefits of using the Z-Stabilizer in conjunction with the Power Plants. | |
| SACD to Audio Aero Capitol Thanks for the response, mejames. I was just curious to see someone else's experience with a modded SCD-1 v. hi quality redbook. I actually own an SCD-1 with the pretty much full on Audiocom/Kern mods (BG caps, Vishay S-102s, Superclock, SC PSU, S... | |
| SACD to Audio Aero Capitol Hi Mejames,Interesting post. Would you mind offering some more details regarding your experience? For example, did you compare any hi-end redbook DACs with the SCD-1 as a transport to the Capitole? Also, how does SACD on the Sony compare to redboo... | |
| MFSL Ultradisc vs. Ultradisc II OK, here's the long answer to your post:For a lot of information regarding the difference between UD I's and UD II's, I would refer anyone who is interested to both the old dcc discussion group (http://www.dcccompactclassics.com) and the MFSL FAQ ... | |
| Best record cleaner? I use a VPI HW-17, which performs well, and is relatively easy to use as long as you are careful with the fluid release button. However, is it the best? I do not know - other contenders incude the new Clearaudio record cleaning machine, the venera... | |
| The best POT you ever had Silver Rock Transformer "Pot" | |
| Most eye-opening upgrade and what you learned Definitely the most eye opening experience I've had in this hobby was upgrading to my first quality analog rig (Goldmund Studio, Graham tonearm, Koetsu cartridge) from an old Audio Technica. It was as if I had found the music, not just the notes. | |
| Help on power conditioner upgrade Hi Kira,Sounds like you've gotten some pretty good advice so far, but I thought I'd chime in with my $.02, since I have had a slightly different experience than some of the above posters. I currently own the Hydra, the P300, just purchased the EP2... | |
| Five amps that you want to try at home? At first I thought this would be easy - who doesn't want a free shot at listening to super expensive, esoteric gear? But when it came time to thinking which ones I might actually be interested in buying, as opposed to listening to out of pure curi... |
