| What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in? Millercarbon, Thanks for your clear and cogent explanation about what I may be hearing or experiencing with various recordings played on my new equipment. I’ve honestly been a bit confused about what I’ve been hearing when playing some records or ... | |
| What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in? Jepatey, I do have a number of earlier Pink Floyd albums on Harvest. I’m giving Obscured by Clouds a listen right now. I unfortunately might have given my brother the original Harvest Dark Side of the Moon when I thought I was upgrading to the ori... | |
| What was your first big eye opener with regard to audio? Back in the early seventies walking into a dealership in Poughkeepsie, NY and hearing a pair of pricey Ohm speakers being demoed for a customer. I recall the sound of cymbals shimmering across the room as it you could touch the sound. Not much lat... | |
| What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in? Glupson, thanks for the explanation and the link. I'll read through the explanation on how to play the SACD on the Marantz link you provided. Am I to understand the DSD material is not sold in a disc format, but only as a file download? I'd like... | |
| What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in? Tobor007, that’s an interesting idea.Kren0006, thanks for sharing your experience with your new system. It’s surprising that minor speaker placement and angling changes can make such a difference. I’ve put off playing with speaker placement until ... | |
| Is this sign of getting old? Shkong, if you’d been doing the opposite, and just learning to appreciate classical music I’d concur you’re getting older. As it is, learning to like Elvis at a more advanced age might put you in the same bracket as Brad Pitt’s character in "The C... | |
| What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in? Glupson and Geoffkait, thank you both for your suggestions. I'll check out both your links soon as I have a minute. I wish I had a DSD player to try out that format. I understand that a standard SACD player will not be able to play DSD's. Correct ... | |
| What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in? Thanks glupson. I will try that and would like an improved Let It Bleed recording. Geoffkait are you aware of another version of Let It Bleed I might like to sample as well. I’m open to suggestions.Mike | |
| What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in? Millercarbon, appreciate your input on most of the changes happening early on. I didn't understand what might be occurring with the Magico's for example over a 400 hour burn in period.Sleepwalker, I take it burn in, not break in is the correct te... | |
| What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in? Nice to hear from you glupson. The Stones sounded great. No issue there. Let It Bleed sounded much better at home than at the dealer showroom demo with their expensive monoblock amps. I think Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon disc itself is defect... | |
| What differences should I be hearing as my new system breaks in? David and lak, I’m not really concerned about the break in, I’m only curious what it entails sonically and the scope of the changes to expect. For instance what difference in the Magico A3’s sound might be apparent after 400 hours. Thanks. Douglas... | |
| Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"? Is there any consensus on the best recording of "Let It Bleed" you can acquire on either vinyl, CD or SACD. My Magico A3’s are scheduled to arrive Wednesday after an almost half year wait, and this thread has given me the idea of making a well don... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Pjw8156, Let us know if you like the Impulse set and if it’s recorded decently. If so, I’ll order it. Great bargain for $12. Thanks for the link.Mike | |
| Do any of your Rolling Stones recordings bring "Satisfaction"? I don’t know Michael. One of my all time favorites, The Stone’s great "Let It Bleed" album sounded terrible when I took it along with some other (vinyl) albums to audition speakers on some really fine equipment. I didn’t expect that and was pretty... | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? One of the first threads I read here was "no-one-actually-knows-how-to-lculate-what-speaker-cable-they-need" The way the author was treated there was inexcusably rude, whether you agreed with the author or not. It put me off. I never could figure ... |
