| oppo 105d straightup Give it a few hundred hours on repeat with breakin tracks, and it will change for the better, for sure. Cheers,Spencer | |
| acoustic advice resonating wall panels That's cool. Ethan Winer knows his sh*t! Well done.Cheers,Spencer | |
| oppo 105d straightup Late to the question, but I am pretty happy with the 2 channel audio performance of my 105D without mods. I'm using it mostly as a dac fed by macmini / audirvana+ / Schitt Wyrd/ AQ Carbon USBs playing redbook and all formats of high rez including ... | |
| acoustic advice resonating wall panels Owens Corning fiberglass specs show which freqs are absorbed for each model. I think 703 or 705 probably do what you need. Cheers,Spencer | |
| My apologies to all... Slaw,It isn't about you, sorry. Participants here expect posts to be on topic. When you title a thread "Extraordinary Recordings On Vinyl", that's what all the posts should be about. To post many times on whatever you just listened to takes away t... | |
| "The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? Engkirk, did you happen to notice that you are responding to a thread from 15 years ago? Don't know why I find that funny, but I do...And yes, "The Audio Critic" B.S." still true! Cheers,Spencer | |
| Zingali speakers??? Service is also difficult to get if needed, at least in USA. The company wasn't helpful.A friend owned a pair, they were great value and beautiful. Caveat Emptor! Cheers,Spencer | |
| VPI setup The turntable setup article on walkeraudio.com will help you. No you don't need to upgrade from spinclean to get it play correctly. Records shouldn't skip, so something is off. Remember that adjusting azimuth might acccidently change VTF, so repea... | |
| Good, better, best. VPI Classic 1 accessories and upgrades. Zephyr is high output so best matched w/moving magnet phono input. If your Klyne expects lower output moving coil cart, could be trouble. Klyne makes great phono stages so I'm sure you'll be happy and be able to hear the subltler changes you're co... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Wow, Frank, you're a true fearless audio cliffdiver! That's quite a leap.Great to know that amp/speaker match will have perfect synergy. Here's my advice:1) Break-in: Resist the urge to judge anything until plenty of break-in time. Use pink noise ... | |
| Beautiful Classical Smaller Pieces, duo,trio,etc The one that always stuns the crowd is Gary Karr - Adagio d'Albinoni, a duo recording of acoustic bass with organ accompaniment. The King LP is particularly great sounding. Cheers,Spencer | |
| DAC question Llkmi, I really don't want to go there publicly, but you send send me PM about it. It beat out at least 3 others all more expensive. After I heard it, the owner switched to using the balanced outputs and told me that sound is even better now. (As ... | |
| DAC question Yeah, heard the Schiit Yggdrasil last week at a friend's house and it was really great. It bettered a number of higher priced DACs in his SOTA system.I've had a mindset that DSD would be a requirement in any future DAC purchases for me, but the "Y... | |
| mapleshade ic's... As Ralphie's dad said "Fra-geely, that's Italian". Mine got fried when a visitor stepped on one. Sent it in for repair and they quoted so high(about 75% of new pair cost) that I told him to throw them away. Very disappointing. Sonically, I like th... | |
| What is the best OTL out there? Yup, so 2 of the 11 are Atma-Sphere and Tenor. That leaves room for 9 other votes. Cheers,Spencer |
