| Reliability issue - Nagra VPA power not KR tube I can't speak to reliability issues of Nagra, but I've also experienced KR 845 tube failure after only aprox. 100 hours on my Art Audio Carissa Signature. Now use TJ Fullmusic. | |
| Computers and audio, perhaps its too soon While I agree that 100% trust in any software program is silly I do think that there will be many who trust Sony and download the software without a care in the world. I guess what gets me even more is the lack of consequences these sorts of viola... | |
| Anyone spend more on their system than their car? Prpixel, yes, I have and I find it ridiculously enjoyable. Purchased my house for a grand total of $25,000 many moons ago and have around $40,000 in audio equipment. Add in both my cars (1990 BMW 325ix and 1970 MGB-GT), total investment including ... | |
| Just moved - sound destroyed You need to treat the room with acoustic treatments, the asymetry of speaker positioning is not helping either. Check into Echobusters, RPG, etc. | |
| Anybody heard new Jolida glass phono box I'm also looking at the Jolida. Underwood Hifi also has 3 levels of mods for the Jolida which would take it up even higher. I wonder if anyone has heard the Jolida with mods? | |
| Differences btwn Synergistic Research and Cardas I use both Synergistic Resolution Ref. (speaker cables) and Cardas Golden Ref. (interconnects) in my system. I have also demoed the Resolution Ref. interconnects. In my system the Cardas has a bit more focus. I've found that Synergistic cables (I'... | |
| Differences in tube sounds: 6550 / EL34 My experience with the 6550 tube is in agreement with those who find it flat and uninteresting, sure does have nice bass control, however. Hard to beat the sweet midrange of the EL34 although bass is a bit soft. I prefer the SED version of the EL3... | |
| Bang For Your Buck Best Value CD Transport Proceed CDD, essentially a Mark Levinson No. 37, but go for around $1000 used if you can find one, to aprox. $2000 for the 37. | |
| Cable auditions - Hard Work? I've done many cable comparisons over the years, while I may start off with short listening sessions and A/B comparisons I've found that making the best decision only comes from long listening sessions over several hours and days. I know the cable... | |
| BPT 3.5 Sig. owner, what cords have you tried? My favorite is the VH Audio AirSine, way better than stock and better than some other well regarded cables. Transparency and air! | |
| Review: Stillpoints ERS Tweak I just started experimenting with the ERS sheets this weekend. In this short amount of time I've discovered it works best over transformers in all equipment. I've also used cloth to segregate the power supply from the processor in my DAC, a sheet ... | |
| Backwall wall behind my back treatment. Going with the smokester, diffusion such as echobusters doublebuster, some RPG products or DIY project. | |
| Cary SLM-100 Bias in Triod Mode Pawlowski, I used to own the SLM 100's. I recall biasing them at 150 per Cary's instructions. I think this is especially important if you're using EL34's. The rising bias could be due to a bad bias circuit resistor. I had that problem with one of ... | |
| Using Bad Recording to Evaluate a System Many of my favorite recordings sound rather mediocre so I'm in full agreement with your observations. Playing mediocre recordings forces one to deal with that old analytical/musical conumdrum, finding and keeping the perfect balance can be very el... | |
| Active Shielding in Cables I am using the Synergistic Research Resolution Reference X2 series speaker cables. These sound wonderful in my system, a bit quieter than some other higher priced cables I've tried. While I can't say that the active shielding is the sole cause of ... |
