| Velodyne DD Plus: New King of the Jungle? Lewhite: Of course, the best way to find out would be to do an A/B comparison between the two in your own listenng room. I have never done that; I just went for the DD Plus series from talking with David Weinhart, who gave me a lot of honest infor... | |
| Velodyne DD Plus: New King of the Jungle? BTW, I am NOT a retailer of anything and am not trying to pitch or sell anything. I'm just a regular dude with an ear for music. I've been fiddling with audio gear for about 22 years now and have heard the good, bad and the ugly. I'm rather new on... | |
| Velodyne DD Plus: New King of the Jungle? Podeschi, Your comment that "It creates much more dimension and atmosphere to the soundstage at all ranges" articulates perfectly what I was trying to say. Of course this effect depends on your gear, room, etc. But that aside, the DD Plus seems to... | |
| Velodyne DD Plus: New King of the Jungle? Yes, REL is another amazing sub. Are they still made in the same factory or have they moved onto China? If so, I question the materials and quality.An A/B comparison between the original DD and the DD Plus series would be very interesting. | |
| Velodyne DD Plus: New King of the Jungle? Thanks for all the responses. After reading my comments again, I admit it does sound like a sales pitch (and I hate that kind of G@Bs hype!). I was just so taken in by this sub though; I guess the conditions were "right" and I got a little gushy. ... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Thanks Tvad. I've got the dedicated line, hospital grade outlets and am looking for any phase issues. I will assume from your seasoned experience that the EP2050 (or 2000 also?) will be a great tweak with minimal effect on dynamics (I have good po... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? I've been reading and reading till early morning hours; what a great thread! I'm rather new to Audiogon but definitely understand the need for speed, dynamics, imaging, depth etc. and it sounds like Steve's GG effect has made music much more enjoy... | |
| Review: Harbeth Super HL-5 Speaker Thanks for the technical info on spl's, distances and amps. At typically 3 M away, I probably have them up around 95 decibels and 100 + for rock. I'll stay away from the 105 db levels though.It seems that with the 64 watts you mentioned, we're sti... | |
| Review: Harbeth Super HL-5 Speaker Thanks to all here for the added information. I also have the Harbeth Super HL5's driven by Odyssey Extreme SE mono blocks and Odyssey Candela preamp. IC's and cables are inexpensive custom made, all silver plated.I turned my speakers upside-down ... | |
| Can foam padding isolate better than spikes? Stanwal has a very intriguing point about the perceptions of "blacker" silences. I wonder if this blackness is enhanced by the fast dissipation of unwanted resonances being emitted from within and around the speaker cabinets or from the floor. Not... | |
| Can foam padding isolate better than spikes? Thanks for your responses. Yes, it is fun trying all these unusual tweaks and decoupling materials but the bottom line is what sounds better. So spikes get rid of resonances quickly whereas decoupling materials allow the resonances to remain until... | |
| If money were no object, what would be in your rig Money no object? Forget the rig. I would hire the original musicians to come to my house and play for me! Perhaps a personal assistant to make all arrangements for that as well.Cheers! | |
| Can I re-install firmware for my Meridian 568.2MM? Thanks much. I'll try it. |
