| Too snobbish for SACD as it exists? I'm sure that your point about sporting "mid-fi" or "mass marketed" brands is kind of a let-down for some. As Ehider mentioned, the overall build quality on these players have been questioned since their release. I know that a few professional "tw... | |
| Analysis Plus Oval 9 or DH Labs T-14? Sam, the problem with "voting" is rather obvious. You received negative votes, but why ? Is it because they like DH Labs wire better than Analysis Plus ? Is it because they don't think an external DAC is a worthwhile investment ? Is it because the... | |
| One Channel Lower Output With XLR Cables Don't think that i did anything special in this thread. I simply expounded on what was already presented. I'm just glad that WE as a group were able to help you. Hope the new cables solve your problem and do what your looking for. Sean> | |
| Deflex Panel Impressions and Experiences Albert, your response mirrors the findings of someone else that i know that tried Deflex. He put Deflex inside of a full range floor standing cabinet and thought it sounded WORSE than with the factory installed damping material. After much experim... | |
| One Channel Lower Output With XLR Cables Panzercat's got the right idea. You obviously have a problem. Swapping the cables around will narrow it down to either one of the cables or either the balanced output section of the preamp or the balanced input section of the power amp. If it is t... | |
| Help w/ beginner s room treatment Fiberglass is about as good as it gets in terms of sound absorption unless you want to start spending big cash. Like anything else though, due to varying densities and overall thickness, the attenuation / absorption ratio may not be linear across ... | |
| bananas or spades? You get what you pay for. If you buy "generic" banana's or spades, that's what you get. In other words, a good quality locking banana will give a more secure, lower resistance connection than a low grade, small sized spade. The reverse is also tru... | |
| Best pre/pro for under 3K? Sd, what does it sound like in two channel though ? Unfortunatly, i don't have access to the review mentioned. Sean> | |
| Which flat spkr. cable to use As we've been through this before with the Analysis Plus, speaker cables ( like any other component of the system ) are a personal thing and quite system dependent. Having gotten that disclaimer out of the way, i found the AP Oval 9's to be EXTREM... | |
| Who's Who in Amp/ Preamp design? To explain the above post for those that aren't familiar with this "company", they had kind of a "cult following" in the late 60's. Everybody involved in this "project" were very close knit, ala the "Family" nomenclature. As such, their love of au... | |

| Sony SCD777ES skipping problem I would do as the post above suggests. Try cleaning your discs and then give them a shot. If the majority continue to "repeat", you either need new discs or may want to get the player checked out. It's possible that you might have accrued just eno... | |
| Best Pre-amp for Bi-amping? The Marsh Sound Design's P2000 SS preamp has four outputs for the very reason that you mention. While i'm not saying that this could replace your preamp, Marsh does make a hybrid tube preamp that "might" have four outputs also. Just a thought. Sea... | |
| VeryOldHeardIt All-SACD Rules-SayethGOD Good point No Money. I have not purchased one of these units simply because i could not find ONE disc that i would REALLY like to own. Until the recordings are "flowing", i'd rather not tie up my funds on what might be a "white elephant" type of a... | |
| Best Amp/Pre-amp Combo for 1500 Doug, take my word for it, it wasn't me. I think you know, and by reading your post you acknowledge this, that i wouldn't do that. Like you, i'd rather exchange information, compare notes and experience and maybe learn a little something along the... |
