KEF Q800ds heads up check yours Instead of going through all that trouble, why didn't you just reverse the speaker wires at the speakers binding posts? | |
Popcorn Ceiling vs Smooth I had a smooth ceiling in my living room where my stereo resides and had a popcorn ceiling put in instead. I could hear no difference in the sound. | |
Favorite lp of all time Dark Side Of The Moon, Pink Floyd | |
Totem Sttaf The speakers may or may not need more breaking in, but I have found that if I don't like the sound of new speakers with only a few hours on them, I will never fully like them. I have heard that totems tend to be rather bright and for that reason, ... | |
Primaluna prologue 2 based system upgrade Why not call ZU Audio and ask Sean what speakers they make would be a good match for your Prima Luna amp? These guys love tubes and most of their speakers are 98db+ efficient. This may be a good starting place for you. | |
spdif/USB converter vs DAC upgrade I use a Musical Fidelity V-Link 192 into my Wyred4Sound DAC 1. It sounds wonderful. I read an earlier post that the Wyred dac upsamples everything. Not so! My Wyred dac displays the proper sampling rate. If it was recorded at 44.1, that is what di... | |
Where is best to sell old Brociner tube amp? How did Inheritedtubes post get past the moderators? | |
Cary 306 Pro or Esoteric X-01 LE or DCS P8i MKII The Esoteric X-01LTD uses the Burr Brown pc1704 dac chips, which are the same dac chips as in my Esoteric UX-3 Universal player. I find the sound of the Esoteric to be very smooth, the music seems to flow free and most of my unlistenable cd's are ... | |
Comments pls.: TEAC vs Marantz CD/SACD players The player uses a Cirrus Logic dac chip. It looks to be the same one as in the Esoteric SA-10 which I had for about a week. Didn't care for the sound at all, quite forward. I traded in my SA-10 and bought a UX-3 which uses 4 Burr Brown 1704 dac ch... | |
Acrylic platter Just a thought, but VPI has gotten away from using acrylic platters. VPI claims the aluminum platters "just sound better". That's good enough for me. | |
Do you like your Sanus, VTI, or Salamander rack? I have the Salamander Synergy audio rack with 6 shelves plus 1 pull out shelf for my laptop. Previously I was using a Sanus stand I bought from Music Direct. I noticed an improvement right away when upgrading from the Sanus to the Salamander Syner... | |
Aleph 3 - Its 2013, are they still awesome ? I would check out some of the ZU Audio speakers. They are very efficient. | |
Odyssey Khartago and Vandersteen 2 I have an Odyssey Stratos and for 2 years it made beautiful music with my Vandersteen 2ce speakers. | |
emotiva mono block amps any good? A lot of bang for the buck. Very good sounding equipment that is very reasonably priced. If they didn't sell direct, the prices on the equipment would be about 1 and 1/2 times higher than they are. | |
When is it to hot to cut the grass? Cut your grass at the highest setting and do it after dinner when the sun starts to go down. I cut mine once a week even though it could use it every 4 days or so. I ALWAYS do it on a Thursday or Friday night so the weekend can be kept open for fu... |
