| Room Acoustics Problem???? I have experienced the exact same problem as you in pretty much the same size room! A number of fixes for me. First, I discovered that one speaker was about 2db louder (near cone measurement), I replaced some tubes to equalize output. Second, spea... | |
| Cable question .... how good Cardas Golden Refe... I've compared the Golden Ref. to some of the high priced spread from PAD, Siltech, Nirvana, Synergistic Research. The Golden Ref. remains between the preamp and amp while a PAD Venustas goes on source to preamp. I would describe the GR as essentia... | |
| What's your worst excuse for an upgrade I've got a hole in my pocket and a screw loose in my head. | |
| P. Conditioners + P. Cables in sequence I've not sure that I've ever experienced too much filtering for digital, on the other hand a filtered cord on my preamp connected through the conditoner sounded exactly like you descibe. Perhaps the power supply in the EMM is of sufficient qualit... | |
| power amplifier through a conditioner As usual no easy answers here, only you can decide for yourself. Having said that I think you would find the consensus of knowledgable audiophiles is not to use a conditioner on power amps. There was a time when I thought I preferred a conditoner ... | |
| Do i need AC conditioner w/dedicated AC lines? I have 3 dedicated lines with newly installed dedicated grounds. Since the dedicated grounds I now prefer my monoblock amps and preamp plugged directly into the wall, segregated from my digital setup which remains on the conditioner. Segregating t... | |
| Best Neil Young Album? I simply can't pick one, depending on my mood almost all can be his best. I second the live concerts, I've lost count of the number I've been to, wish I could have live recordings of all of them. | |
| The black hole of component repair? I always keep backup equipment in a bedroom system. | |
| Suggestions for a transport under $1000 Try to find a Proceed cdd, very similar to the Mark Levinson No. 37. Same suspension mounted Phillips industrial transport, proprietary servo control and anti jitter circuit. Used 37's going for around 2k, Proceed around $800-1k. | |
| AES/Cary SixPacs - up grade tubes? I am currently running the Pearl Cryovalve SED el 34's in my Cary SLM 100's, worth the extra money over the regular SED el 34, both are better than the Svetlanas. Haven't heard the EH. | |
| Bi-Wiring with different lenghts? I have a tri-wired setup and recently demoed some 10' biwires which were connected to my mids and tweeters while 6' was wired to the woofer. I could not detect any anomolies. | |
| What's Going On?? Sound changes every night Stehno makes a key point in that dedicated lines will not clean up the AC from outside your home, and unless you have a dedicated ground on that dedicated circuit you will still get feedback from other appliances in the house. I have 3 dedicated l... | |
| Am I crazy????? Try THIS RF, I hung a cd player some years ago from my ceiling, at the time I thought the sound was better than any other placement. I remember reading some years ago that using monofilament fishing line was the best material for hanging, very interesting! | |
| Review: Purist Audio Designs Venustas and Opis Interconnect Jfrech, I just put the Venustas in my system, you are spot on with your review. The lowered noise floor and the bigger sound are what stood out most in my system. Still haven't come to a final determination as to their tonal balance, perhaps a bit... | |
| Tubed preamp suggestions? I am using Joule Electra La100 MK III with Cary slm100's with Alon Lotus se's, very nice! Carl voices the lotus with the cary 300's, can't go wrong with the Joule! |
