| Attention to detail I heard the 603S2 ... fantastic rock speakers, but not very subtle. Detail has several forms. One is hearing the smallest sounds, another is imaging.Based on what I heard you would have to spend more than $1000 new to get the rocking and bass abil... | |
| Why would 1 SS monoblock run hotter than other? If these are not class A amps (sorry I'm not familiar with them) then they shouldn't be getting hot, and I would be worried.If they are class A amps I'd be wondering about the cold one. :-)The fact that you switched amps side to side means you've ... | |
| Should preamp be left turned on? Thanks Vern ... and good job ! | |
| Best transport for USD500 Check with Arcam ... one of my friends moved from the UK to the US, and it was simply a matter of replacing jumpers and switching fuses to convert his Arcam amp and CD from 240V to 110V ... Arcam does a lot of trade both sides of the atlantic, so ... | |
| Should preamp be left turned on? I've heard it said that SS should be left on and tube should be switched off. The reasoning was that SS takes a long time to warm up, and that thermal cycling causes expansion and contraction that can break components (e.g. causing electrolytic ca... | |
| digital glare - problems/solutions I don't have any fancy outlets or filters, but I have a 1987 CD player, and I noticed that it interfered with my TV picture when it was on !!!!! I put a radio shack ferrite on the power cable, and the interference is greatly reduced. And guess wha... | |
| Best Cd player 1000.00 range used as transport ? Sutts, do you take cost into account. For $1000 total outlay you still prefer two-box, over one box. (BTW I have a 3 box setup inc monarchy DIP that cost $500 total, which I think outperforms any $500 one box player I have heard, but these are all... | |
| Best Cd player 1000.00 range used as transport ? Agree with the above postings. If you've already got a good DAC then buy a dedicated transport (Theta, Meridian etc). If you don't yet have a DAC save yourself the trouble and buy the best one box player you can find. | |
| "Kid A" Agree with all above. "OK computer" is a masterpiece, but "Kid A" and Amnesiac are very enjoyable. Let's not forget "The Bends". Must try some Coldplay ... I've heard a lot about them ... what's their best album for starters ? | |
| Should preamp be left turned on? I'd leave it on unless there was a danger of electrical storms, in which case I'd switch it off and unplug it. Otherwise I see only benefits in leaving it on ... longevity, sound (maybe), and no downsides (unless it's got a huge power consumption,... | |
| What's the deal with palladium?? I just got my new palladium power cord and there's so much bass slam, in fact I'd say my system, hang on I'm not feeling so good, I wonder aaaaaaarrrrgghhhhhh .... | |
| What's the deal with palladium?? Agree with TWL. If professional RF conductors don't use it I doubt that audio needs it. Pro RF is all silver plated, or gold plated. Have you heard my new plutonium interconnects ?I got this off a web site for the periodic table :"Palladium compou... | |
| Best transport for USD500 From the reviews I've read the Bel Canto is supposed to reclock the data signal, whereas MSB does not. That should mean that the Bel Canto is significantly less sensitive to the transport. Inexpensive CD players are often not very good transports ... | |
| Sweet Spot for Triangle Speakers The best description for speaker placement that I have read is on the audiophysic web page:http://www.audiophysic.de/produkte/aufstellung/aufstellung_e2.htmlhave a read and see if it works for you. I also like the cardas placement method. I have n... | |
| Opinions on why this system is uninvolving Clueless asks a very important question. Carpet or hardwood flooring, size, parallel walls, ceiling heights etc. All make a tremendous difference.Imaging problems may be speaker placement, particularly speakers being too close to the side or rear ... |
