| Need advise for my current system....... The last thing you want is an amp that muffles and softens the musical presentation. It will add a grain and hash to the highs, strip away the initial attack, the ensuing natural decay, and the dynamics giving you a dull and lifeless presentation.... | |
| Need advise for my current system....... Dadlia, check out the Odyssey Stratos amps at odysseyaudio.com. There you will all the reviews on this amp. It sells for $995 or fully loaded for $1095 and it should blow away any other near it's price range. The Absolute Sound gave it Golden Ear ... | |
| Accuphase players and Tact RCS?-Anybody used them I have not, but HP in The Absolute Sound had made a discovery he mentioned in last month's issue where the $28k Accuphase SACD player had some pretty bad rolling off in the upper regions. HP assumed the SACD format must have been highly questionab... | |
| Levinson 436...What power cord are you using??? I'm using Foundation Research in-line power conditioners models LC-1 and LC-2 for all of my components. These are about the same cost as very good power cords (retail about $2k for all 3), replaces the power cords, and does more than more power co... | |
| s.s. preamp matchup to mccomack dna1 rev.a I have the DNA-2 LAE in my 2-channel system and I'm using a Primare P30 pre/pro (100% analog in 2-channel by-pass mode.I've A/B compared the P30 with a burned-in Ayre k3-x preamp in my home. The P30 was much more transparent and detailed with less... | |
| Modifications to the Sony SCD-C333es anyone? Stan Warren of SuperMods in Eugene, OR or Dan Wright of ModWright in Portland, OR.Personally, I'd go with Stan Warren. | |
| Need advise for my current system....... I agree with Artemus. What budget do you have for another amp? | |
| Max signal strength to preamps? Well said, Say811. But if you are really committed to that same logic, then it really doesn't make sense for you to ever ask anybody any questions at all. Whether it pertains to questions about connections, misc. questions about this hobby, or que... | |
| 35Hz - 25kHz -- A Partial 'Purist'? The situation you describe would send the same frequencies or signal strength to sub as to your mains.In my case, my pre has RCA and XLR outs. I use XLR outs to the amp and RCA outs to the sub. The filters in sub filter out the frequencies you've ... | |
| Max signal strength to preamps? What a headache. Why not dump the cj for a good pre/pro if that's what you need. I'm not real big on pre/pros but there are a few out there that are outstanding sonically and should be equal or better than the CJ pre you have.I have a 2-channel sy... | |
| Has anyone had trouble with stereophile magazine? I never received my October, 2001 issue. It took about ten phones and 3 months before they finally sent one. It was not pretty.When I've had difficulty with a TAS issue, it took about 5 days to recieve another issue. | |
| Pick your favorite, and tell me why... Check out Over The Rainbow XRCD. It's only a floor bass and tenor(?) sax. Very dynamic. There's a spot or two where you'll almost jump out of your seat if your system has good dynamic headroom.I think you can still find this cd on fimpression.comH... | |
| 35Hz - 25kHz -- A Partial 'Purist'? oops | |
| 35Hz - 25kHz -- A Partial 'Purist'? Is it not entirely possible that some of you never had a good quality sub to work or with and/or you simply were not able to configure it properly with your mains and/or room acoustics? If we assume that a few of the deficiencies you mention do ex... | |
| 35Hz - 25kHz -- A Partial 'Purist'? Sean, the construction quality of the Bag End was certainly not the best. That was another reason I did not want to keep it. However, even though it's been more than two years since I've demo'ed it in my home, I was quite impressed with it's low-e... |
