| Pass Labs ALEPH 5 vs ALEPH 2 Cdma, I heard a while back that getting a bigger power transformer was a help for the Aleph P pre (which I use to drive the 2 monos). Any truth to that, and if so, is it cost-effective? I don't really need to open a can of worms for myself or anyb... | |
| Pass Labs ALEPH 5 vs ALEPH 2 Isn't the Aleph 2 160w into 4 ohms? (Not quite doubling down) | |
| Any WARM, MUSICAL speakers out there? Spendor 3 (not the new SE), Spendor 1P (+6dB sens, 6.5"). | |
| Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ???? ANY pair whose drivers and crossovers happen to be clones, either by strict QA or luck of the draw. | |
| Rate these on order of importance: 1. 5. 4. 2. 3. Everybody knows how bad a cubic room sounds, for example, and speakers ARE the hardest to get linear IN a room. The source is next. Power has slipped upward above other cables, as my experience building PCs in the past two years has... | |
| And the Verity Taminos ? Careful! Both of these rear-firing woofs need boundary reinforcement to sound their best. I tried the Fidelio back in 2000, necessarily 8 feet out from the front wall, and found them very anemic...much more so than my 6.5" 2-ways!Even the Parsifal... | |
| VAC - any comments? Good or bad. Lrsky, you still don't get it! I have absolutely no axe to grind, DON'T OWN the bloody amp, and will try to answer your queries in order, as I flip back and forth: I used the terms "gods" because the suggestion that CEO's be called in to assess a ... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC 1 Do a search, and brace yourself. | |
| $250-$400 CD player recommendations? The new C542BEE in November. Hang on. | |
| VAC - any comments? Good or bad. Part II (Sorry!)I guess another part of this is that manufacturers generally use resistive loads for amplifier measurement, wherein linearity usually appears reasonably flat. We're now used to seeing a curve now and again from some testers (like A... | |
| VAC - any comments? Good or bad. Lrsky, we're way past your suggestion. MANY manufacturers of audio components devise simplified controlled test methodologies to evaluate product tweaks and of course during ongoing manufacturing QC. You don't have to reinvent the wheel every time... | |
| VAC - any comments? Good or bad. Well, it's clear that Lrsky and Balekan don't understand the test. Once again, a reference test was devised using the same software (CD of 1/3 octave warble tones), CDP, cables, speaker/positioning/room, microphone/meter/battery/tripod/positioning... | |
| VAC - any comments? Good or bad. Larry. I threw out ALL my files save for those pertinent to gear I acually own, BUT I did keep some of the sets of measurements pertinent here, buried in a file of N803 vs Fidelio measurements, as it was the Fidelios that I used, not the Parsifal ... | |
| Power cord craze What should I get for $100 Rationalizations and structures unto false gods...even on this day of atonement. Sigh.... $100, $200. $300. Do you REALLY believe that's there's a legitimate correlation with performance here? Sigh.... | |
| VAC - any comments? Good or bad. Hi Larry, et al.I don't have the actual response data I estimated above at hand, but I did publish it in an audioreview.com (or whatever they're called) review last year or so), and can probably retrieve it somewhere, unless I through it out durin... |
