| April 2017 review of the Paradigm Persona 9H A home run for Paradigm! " Why in the audio world do people have such furvor over what they buy with the belief that their product and only their product is the best?"Because for them it probably is the best. That said, can you give me an example of people saying only the... | |
| One of the best HDMI cable? Audioquest Diamond would be a good choice. If the price is too high, Purist and Crystal Cable are also very good. | |
| What causes a chirp? You may want to go over both speakers and make sure all the nuts and bolts are tight. Pay extra attention to the grill cover and feet. If any of the fasteners/inserts worked themselves loose, the noise could be caused by the metal/plastic inserts ... | |
| New Preamp...New Cables??? If you can find some good used AQ Jaguars or Columbia, it will definitely be an upgrade. I've owned both the AQ's and your SR, so my comments are based on listeing experiance. | |

| Speakers to pair with the Ars Sonum Filarmonia tube amp? ProAc should work well. You may want to demo a pair. | |
| Add a Subwoofer to my Vandersteen 1ce s or replace with Revel Concerta2 F36 " Well, you're talking about making some major changes in both electronics and speakers. This seems unlikely to yield the best results."If you don't change something in the system there won't be any results, good or bad." I'm a big fan of subwoofe... | |
| Add a Subwoofer to my Vandersteen 1ce s or replace with Revel Concerta2 F36 " And am hoping that upgrading to the F36 is the smarter choice than adding a sub that would seamlessly integrate. Any thought would be appreciated. Thank you."I wouldn't trade the 1's for a pair of F36's. I've heard them side by side and the Vand... | |
| What causes a chirp? A bird inside your speaker. | |
| Tube Watts Vs. Soild-State Watts? " The tube amp that I am looking at is about 80wpc single-ended class A. My current amp is solid-state 400wpc class AB. My speakers are Tekton Design Double Impacts. My previous experience with tube amps was mixed, as the amps had some characteris... | |
| Audio Technica ART9 sounds awful Al,I take you at your word that your ART9 sounded great out of the box. Maybe there's something about the cart that doesn't make break in such a factor. I also agree 100% phase is worth checking, as that can also be the problem.Going back to break... | |
| Why do Harbeth P3ESRs sound different? Your ProAc's have a more forward and direct sound to them. If you're used to listening to them, changing to a different speaker can show this quality in a very abrupt way.You also need to take your room, electronics and placement into consideratio... | |
| Audio Technica ART9 sounds awful " I don't think break-in is the issue here. the cart should sound great from the get-go, and get better."Did you ever have a brand new cart? If you get one that sounds good out of the box, its probably not new. Or, if you had a dealer install it f... | |
| Audio Technica ART9 sounds awful Your DV had an output of 2.5, and your ew cart puts out .5. You need to make sure you have the gain on your phono stage set properly.Assuming your setup is correct, the AT needs to be broken in before it sounds right. You're probably thinking its ... | |
| Any opinion or feedback on the NAIM UnitiServe or UnitiCore? " why not just rip them onto a PC or mac and put the $$ into a better DAC?"If you don't want something complicated, that's a much better way to go. The interface options are better as well. You can use a cell phone or tablet as a remote/interface ... |
