| Vexing Problem I would say that the lock between your digital sources and your dac board in the accuphase is having an issue in some way maybe the digital cord needs some run in time i am not sure seems like a strange problem. | |
| Best temperature for optimum tube performance Put your gear in a ventilated wood rack and watch how much better your tube gear sounds. | |
| Dedicated power Running a dedicated line for your system is a major upgrade that does not cost a fortune and the sound can improve as much as a component upgrade. | |
| Vinyl on NAD M10 lower volume The volume level of vinyl is very dependent on a lot of things the gain of the phono stage, the output of the cartridge, and the gain of the line stage. The turntable should be more loud than a tuner or tape deck but will never be as loud as a dig... | |
| Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier? Do not buy a clone amp they will have low grade parts, circuits, sound and performance. Real is Real for a reason and in this case it would be a big mistake to take the gamble. | |
| What tests would you like all speaker reviewers to do for their reviews? I would like a room response graph with a distortion spectrum at a realistic sound pressure level it would really give a lot more information about how they react in a real room at a real distance at a realistic music volume level. | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options I have heard class d and am not impressed at all i would look for a great vintage amplifier with a solid state ab output stage from a good company in that 2 to 3 k range you will get much better sound than a class d amplifier I have 18 amplifiers ... | |
| Ribbon Tweeters and Animal Hair I would always keep the grilles on just to be safe especially with children or pets around the house it is better to be safe than sorry and a lot of speakers are voiced with the grille on. | |
| New Audiophile going crazy When you get the bug you get the bug and it is hard to stop buying, upgrading, and experimenting. I know what you mean because i have twenty three pairs of speakers and almost enough amplifiers to use on every one of them but when you develop your... | |
| What exactly is textural density?? When a speaker pressurizes the air in the room effectively it causes a density change o the air in the room while listening that is hard to describe but when you get that you will not want to listen to a light thin sound ever again. | |
| New Amp/Pre Amp for Paradigm Persona 9h Speakers Do not forget accuphase it is definitely the best integrated amplifier that i have and it works with all kinds of speakers vintage and new. | |
| Looking for a tube Preamp new or used for under $2000... I would not go for a tube preamp with a parasound amp i have owned a parsound amp for twenty years and even my audio research pre amp will not work with it the impedance mismatch is too great to overcome. Find yourself a better solid state pre amp... | |
| Wow, $10k+ cables Yeah that price is way out of proportion in any system you do not need to spend anywhere near that to get some awesome sound a much easier way to get better sound than any wire change is to make sure your speaker and amplifier match and complement... | |
| Living in Japan. Any opinions on amplifiers? Luxman and accuphase are good japanese choices as well as old vintage pieces from kenwood, pioneer, yamaha, and sansui. | |
| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? These are ridiculous numbers if you need that much money on treatment you are using the wrong kind of room for your system. A good room will need very little treatment if any to sound wonderful and it is usually pretty easy to find a decent one in... |
