| Small and satisfying. Please help me. Check out the Linn Classik Movie system... same idea as the Bose. cheers RR | |
| Passive intergrated Amps Cheers for the help...I guess I never realised that many of the newer integrateds w/o a phono stage are actually passive pre's. The Creek really surprised me, in that respect. Slaesmen just arent knowledgeable enough at this end of the market and ... | |
| Passive intergrated Amps Hmmm... the gaincard does sound tempting, but I was looking at the $1500 level. Passive preamps I've heard of, but then that's adding another box... less room for me in my small London flat! Thanks anyway.. | |
| reading and decoding hdcd`s For a definitive list of all HDCDs, you may try www.hdcd.com which has them sorted by genre. Looks like there's way more than 6,000 out there. Strangely the country albums are almost always HDCD!I have a NAD 5411, nothing special, but the when the... | |
| Burn In = Voodoo? Not my intention at all; apologies. I thought I conveyed that I felt your point was entirely valid - lower resistance, better conduction, better sound. | |
| Burn In = Voodoo? Just my two cents on freezing cables: First, absolute zero is a theoretical temperature at which all atomic activity ceases and is -273 deg C or 0 deg Kelvin. Liquid Nitrogen is -196 deg C, not absolute zero. Liquid Helium comes closest at -272. S... | |
| Ohms? How about this? Think of your speaker as a Schwinn 10-speed. A 4 ohm speaker is like riding with lower gears- easier effort, but lower speed; an 8 ohm speaker is akin to using taller gears, more effort but higher speed. Thus lower impedance speake... | |
| How come a power cable changes the sound? See 'fallacy of ac treatments' thread below. This subject evokes much emotion, to say the least! | |
| Amp without phono stage=better amp.? Product costing is a funny business. Smaller product lines make for efficiency in inventory and production scheduling. Adding a phono stage to all (rather than carrying two lines)of their integrateds might end up saving a manufacturer money. So it... | |
| The fallacy of ac treatment What's this about 'chickening out'? Are we jousting? I only let this thread die because a> everyone's point has been made (and taken) and b> I lost interest because it devolved into general dialogues. In any case I guess issues like these ar... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Now stop it boys. Go play outside. | |
| The fallacy of ac treatment My intention wasn't to 'troll'... Bear in mind that I'm referring ONLY to 'High End' Power Cords here - Hell yes, ICs and speaker cables make a diff, I've seen it on my (decidedly pedestrian!) system (Arcam 6+ integrated with Marantz CD 6000 KI si... | |
| The fallacy of ac treatment Dekay: if kicking my ass was effected through a practical explanation of what exactly the mains level treatments are expected to achieve, I'll even bend over. Reams of white papers are published on conductors and RF interferences and a lot of them... |
