| All the Emmlabs dcc2/cdsd hoopla.. Oneobgyn, you seemed to speak very clear when you said, "I have owned EVERY high end digital available in the market today and IMO there is simply none that even come close to the Meitner. It is THAT good...so good in fact that I see no reason to ... | |
| All the Emmlabs dcc2/cdsd hoopla.. Oneobgyn, none even come close? Per chance is the APL modified Denon 3910 included in your list of ownership? How about the new APL modified NWO-1? If so, I'd be very interested to hear your opinion of direct comparisons of either of these APL mod... | |
| All the Emmlabs dcc2/cdsd hoopla.. Evita, does that list of ownership include the APL modified Denon 3910 or even the new APL modified NWO-1? If so, I'd be very interested to hear more about your comparisons between either of those APL modified units and the EMMLabs.I like Frankg's... | |
| Bypass preamp, better sound, yet fatiguing? Hgabert, I need to be careful here as I very recently became a dealer which included becoming a dealer for the Foundation Research passive and dedicated line conditioners.I should also note that I've been using the Foundation Research line conditi... | |
| Bypass preamp, better sound, yet fatiguing? My hunch is you have several issues here; 1. You make no mention of line conditioning. If you were to install proper line conditioners, then not only will your enhanced detail become even more enhanced, pristine, and musical but you will notice th... | |
| Does the balanced output of the Sony SCD-1 invert Ghostrider45 has the definitive answer. This was corrected in the later version which by the way is denoted with an uppercase 'R' on the front panel just below the lower right corner of the display window.Eldartford brings up a good point, but if ... | |
| What will it take to have live music for everyone? Thanks, Fatparrot. Regarding the cryo-treatment thing, I was really only thinking of wiring, cabling, ics, outlets, IEC connectors and receptacles, plugs, etc., and perhaps some line conditioners. To be honest, Im not even sure why I threw that i... | |
| What will it take to have live music for everyone? Good question, Lakefrontroad. In a word, as one told me some time ago, the best thing one can invest in their system is 'time'.That is the best answer I can think of.More specifically I think that when one invests 'time' they begin to realize ther... | |
| AKM dacs - which products use them ? Correction, Alex of APL HiFi does not use the AKM dacs only in the new Esoteric ucdp he recently started modding. For a number of months now, Alex has also been using AKM dacs in his later versions of the more reasonably priced APL modified Denon ... | |
| Does having an object inbetween the speakers bad? The best rule-of-thumb is to ensure your rack's highest component is lower than the midrange driver of your speakers.Adhering to this general rule should not affect soundstaging. Even if your rack is a bit higher, my hunch is you will still hear n... | |
| If I install '20A dedicated circuit' Tvad, nice explanation.Eandylee, it absolutely will help but there's always the qualifiers. I don't know where anybody might get the notion that dirty AC coming from the street is somehow magically cleaned up if one splits the AC off into dedicate... | |
| pass pre-amp house sound ? I can't speak to a 'house' sound except that I've owned both the X 2.5 and X-1 in the last few years and both seemed quite neutral and should not interfere with the 'house' sound of your other components.I should note that I've never listened to e... | |
| I don't know where else to post this...so, Here's a couple of pendant lights you may find interesting.http://www.restorationhardware.com/rh/catalog/product/product_suite.jsp?productId=prod1031007&navAction=jumpIt's the smaller 8" version which may still be too big but it's a nice desig... | |
| Sistrum platform Assuming you follow all of Star Sounds instructions for proper setup, there may not be a better choice.Following their instructions is critical when it comes to resonance energy transfer because this vibration control methodology generally require... | |
| Nuforce I've received a few inquiries about my previous post above and it would seem that some may have taken my comments regarding mfg'ers attempts at vibration control were directed at the Nuforce amps specifically. To clarify, my comments about mfg'ers... |
