| Good to remember ... how to tell what sounds better How much money have I blown with that instant gratification that the new gizmo was better and was really not. It takes me about a month of listening to find out what that component brings to the system...good, and bad. | |
| Next Upgrade?? Think about good headphones and a proper headphone amp...you'll be amazed at how good that can sound. | |
| So you have a great hi end stereo preamp, but I have my AVR surround system in one room and my hi end stereo system in another. The sound that comes from the hi end system has depth, air and 3 dimensionality, and the texture of the music. The AVR system thumps,and punches in a solid 2 dime... | |
| need a better sound source? The Cobalt Dragonfly is a bit better than the Red......but its the old bug-a-boo. How good and therefore expensive do you want to get. All earphones do better with a better dedicated headphone amp. I wouldn't guess that the headphone out on the N... | |
| A new way of adjusting anti skate! Good for you MillerCarbon | |
| Unbelievable 3-D imaging sound If you like sonic imagine tricks.... Amused to Death has sound coming from behind you...those studeo magicians | |
| Are cable recommendations worth anything? In my experience, cables do have a sound of themselves when connected to the same components...although they may very well sound different connected to different componets. In ,my system, Purist made the system sound much like tubes with sweet r... | |
| Cartridge reliability Personally, I would value proxmity to Soundsmith pretty high. It would able me to hear all levels and properly choose. Everyone has different values....I think Soundsmith cartridges are extremely good..especially the top of the range | |
| Upgrade to Maggi 3.7i or Tekton Moab? I too have a very large room with 16 ft ceiliings and it is VERY difficult to get that killer bass in the room. I’ve been trying to get the room corrected for about 12 years....things help, but even Richard Vandersteen himself who set up my 5A’s t... | |
| ISO Advise on choosing Ayre or Bat power amp A friend had Aerials that were kind of power hungry. If you can find an Ayre V1XE...they have and sound much more powerful. In any case, Ayre uses differentially balanced circuits and sound much better with XLR balanced interconnects. | |
| Cartridge reliability I had a brand new Ortofon come to me wired wrong, but quickly replaced....had a few Grados with no complaints...a Koetsu with good service...In the old days, I had an ADC XLM, and Sonus Blue both fail quickly. I’ve heard bad news about Vandenhul..... | |
| Power Conditioning / Surge Protection Jeeeez I tried Richard Gray and they were awful in my system. | |
| Pass Labs x250.8 vs tube amps open a window...use a fan..... You seem to like your sound: don't mess with it. | |
| Professional Turntable Set Up in Kentucky? I very much agree with MillCarbon....you should do it yourself....the only way to be sure it was done right. | |
| Stupid Mistake The body of my post didn't get posted.....this is what I saidAll of my Ayre stuff have a trickle charge going through them all the time...even when off. They sound good at the push of the on buttons. |
