| Anyone see or hear the new NAD T763 receiver? My two-year old T752 runs cool.... | |
| Any recommendation for a modern FM tuner Hey, an MD100 is only $1k used/discounted. As a kid I was a HAM, and last year bought a vintage Hallicrafters "high end for its 1955 era" receiver, and finally delight in having SIX switchable IF window widths! Keeps Radio Rwanda et al from being ... | |
| Can someone explain how power cords help if... Yes, connectIONS are important, but connector cost is often NOT correllated with performance! I use an affordable all-black Leviton AC male, for example, that outperforms its, and other, 5266's simply by the ABSENCE of the unnecessary cheap-dielec... | |
| Best speaker between 15K-35K Adding a sub to ANY great speaker is more about ironing out room-rez bumps, right? I remember hearing the W/P 6 just before getting my Parsifal Encores. The dealer (who sold both) was puzzled that the W/Ps were coming back from a customer who pref... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC II CD Player Hi guys. Milled steel? Oy. I expected a non-resonant cast anodized alloy "clamp". Now it sounds even cheaper to make! Maybe the steel's required to act as a "spring-clamp" around the periphery of the CD? Still willing to give EC plenty of faith-fa... | |
| CD Sound?? Does "our" Vader wear black too?I usually listen with my eyes closed, so EVERYTHING is black as far as I'm concerned. So no stimulus cross-contamination issues, resulting in higher s/n ratio in my brain, I suppose. You really think that's true for... | |
| Hours sitting around just listening to music? "Audiophile" simply defines as "lover of sound". What the hell is so pretentious about that? Realize that a good percentage of us became gearheads BECAUSE of lifelong love of MUSIC, the most sophisticated stimulus the brain receives from any sense... | |
| EMC-1 Owners Spider Alert I would imagine any number of EC dealers would jump on a ten-pack order for $2k.... | |
| Can someone explain how power cords help if... Hi Sean. I too find AA difficult...as well unnavigable at best. Just wanted to chime in with my firmly-held belief that very-low dielectric involvement insulation (DISCLAIMER: like the Teflons used in my DIY PC Kits) is in most instances more impo... | |
| static electricity Not to mention the fact that a too-low humidy changes the propagation of the top octaves in the air, resulting in a spectral tilt! | |
| Best speaker between 15K-35K Nice post, Holz. I too was overwhelmed by too-big and sometimes incoherent in the nearfield portrayals of larger great systems, and am happy with the room-friendly compactness and phenomenal performance of my Parsifal Encores (as I relate perhaps ... | |
| Help choosing receiver Used NAD T751 is my favorite, mostly because its EARS 2ch-to-5.1 algorithm is a winner. Around $400, $500 discounted new, if you can find a leftover. | |
| need advice on good amp cable. Try something with a better top end like affordable used Nordost Blue Heavens to see if you're focus should really be on ICs rather than somewhere else in your system. | |
| opinions on audio refinement cd complete The ARC CDP is the lost puppy in their Integrated/Tuner/CDP trio, and with good reason, as it's a middling performer compared to its sisters. Fairly low rez, flat portrayal. For much less money the new NAD et al far outperform it.But the Integrate... |
