| Any Young Audiophiles Out There? Good for you Darren, and enjoy it while you can. At your age, you have perfect hearing. I am approaching a big five O and my hearing is getting more and more out of whack every year; music sounded very different to me 30 years ago. | |
| How to make Sony DVP9000ES play Hybrid sacd layer Before you send it in for repair, try to re-calibrate first. There was a thread years ago showing you how to do that but it was deleted. Fortunately, I have saved a copy.It was originally posted by the member sfstereo so I can't take credit here.B... | |
| Turn your Ipod into a Wireless Music Server/Remote IMHO, the best solution today is to hook up a Mac Mini to an external DAC (I use Benchmark DAC-1 USB) and remote controlled by iPhone or iPod touch. The Mac Mini can serve as a CD/DVD transport as well as music/video server. The whole setup with t... | |
| Loss of bass in Audio research vsi 55 Did your dealer listen to the amp after they biased it? If it worked well at the dealer but not at your home, it might be something else amiss here. | |
| right angle RCA adapters: will they harm sound? It is one of those thing that if I tell you it is there, you will think it does change the sound; if I don't tell you, you will never notice it is there. | |

| Magnepan 20.1 Bvdiman,I have to respectfully disagree. Maggies are capable of pinpoint imaging and producing layered and realistic soundstage. I had done extensive audition while I was shopping for speakers a few years ago. If not because of placement limitatio... | |
| Magnepan 20.1 Pops, Maggies are very difficult to drive, need a lot of currents. | |
| Magnepan 20.1 The 501 is transformer coupled. I am not sure it is a good match for the 20.1. It may sound soft. I haven't heard that particular combination but I have heard a 252 driving a pair of 3.6 and it sounded soft. I think you better find ways to do an a... | |
| Which power supply? What are you powering? | |
| Breaking In New Speakers... Mofimadness's description is the way to go. I just want to add that you also need to feed the speakers with mono signal. The out-of-phase connection will cause bass to cancel each other but not the higher frequency. You can cover both speakers in ... | |
| how to use gain control on a preamp Always trust your own ears. I am not saying the shop is wrong. It is just that different people have very different hearing and taste. What he likes isn't what you like and since you are the one who will be listening to your system day after day, ... | |
| how to use gain control on a preamp Changing a preamp's gain control often changes its output impedance, distortion spectrum, S/N ratio, and linearity. Each preamp design is different, you really need to experiment with it to find the position that you like best. | |
| Lean sound. What's the cause? BAT sounds closer to solid state than tube, it could sound lean with the ML335 also. I suggest you look into Audio Research SP-16 or LS-25 (the original, not MK2), either one will be good match for the 335. | |
