| The best 5 disc CD Changer. From what i was told by a reliable source ( at least i think he is ), the Sony 555 should be a much better performing unit than the 333 as a stand alone unit due to the differences in the DAC's that they are using. As a transport only, i don't kno... | |
| Mono amps... I would contact Bryston and see what they say about the bridged 4B aspect of your question. They should know better than any salesman or reviewer. Bridging creates problems with low impedance loads for most amps. While i can't remember exactly wha... | |
| Most Tedius Part of Audiodom Setup/Tweak/DIY ? WOW !!!! Tom, whether or not your "electrical surgery" made a difference ( and i bet it did ), you are to be applauded just for having the guts to initiate let alone tackle such a major project. Now all you need to do is to have Sol322 stop by and... | |
| Out of Control Pbb, you state "do you really know much about them until you have lived with them?"If you're going to start arguments here, PLEASE don't make it so easy to refute them using your own words. This statement alone contradicts ALL of the antagonistic ... | |
| Most Tedius Part of Audiodom Setup/Tweak/DIY ? All of the following can be a REAL bear in my experience in no specific order:1) assembling very tall threaded rod racks with quite a few shelves. MAN, that is a LOT of spinning and tightening of nuts & washers, etc...2) Installing / routing /... | |
| What's the use of 20 and 24 bit DACs with CDs? I think that you guys misunderstood Sugar. If i'm reading him right and the fact that he agreed with Craig, he was trying to say that total performance as compared to basic functionality is a key factor. That is why someone would want to "upgrade"... | |
| do tube amps have weak midbass? This will vary from amp to amp and amp to speaker interface. I would say that most tube amps exhibit the opposite characteristics of what you are describing though. Tubes are known for a slightly lush or "plump" mid-bass, adding warmth and "bloom"... | |
| looking for a speaker with one driver. Try looking here. I'm sure that you'll find something of interest and probably learn a lot along the way. These folks are buying, selling, designing, building, tweaking, etc... "one way" or "full range" speakers to death. Sean>http://f18.parsim... | |
| Copper v. Silver IC sound Jallen brings up a good point about the difference in the type of conductor used, not only the material used. I agree that stranded and solid sound QUITE different using identical geometries and dielectrics. Changing the gauge of conductors using ... | |
| Copper v. Silver IC sound Silver is a better conductor than copper at any frequency. Radio Frequency (RF) cables of higher quality are typically silver plated copper when cost is not an object. Some antennas even make use of silver plating to increase their conductivity. T... | |
| Burning question regarding upgrading paths I hate to become a cheering section for specific brands, etc... but i have to second Audiotomb's recommendation of the EVS Millennium II. I have CAL Alpha's, Sigma's, 18 bit and 24 bit versions, etc.. and think that there is NO comparison. It will... | |
| A question concerning ethics Brulee & Mes, whether or not Jtinn aka Jonathon is an overall nice guy and a pleasure to work with has little to do with the questions raised about ethics and the need to clarify one's affiliations. I know more than a few folks in the audio in... | |
| Help - amplifier matching problems Individual members or non-members MAY be biased, that is true. I think that most people will recommend products that they personally like or know others that have had positive experiences with. After all, that would only be natural. On the other h... | |
| Help - amplifier matching problems Jtinn, it has been brought to the attention of more than a few folks that you have a tendency to post & recommend brand names of products that you sell in your store. We've also noticed that YOU have never mentioned that you are indeed an "aud... | |
| Cheapest Analogue Setup to Conquer Best Digital Pbb, i think that anybody that thinks that only one of the formats does everything best is lying to themselves or delusional. Both formats offer advantages over the other in different areas. While i will agree that vinyl has a LOT more maintenance... |
