| Krell KRC-3 vs. Pass Aleph P Gotta agree. My P is so transparent that all upstream changes are very clearly audible. A wire with one gain stage, and 1/2" signal paths. Phew! | |
| What preamp? Hmmm... I use an Aleph P with my EMC-1, and certainly decided that my Red Dawn was a limiting factor, given the Pass pre's transparency. Further I modded the EMC-1 to "UP" level (RSVP if you want me to mod yours for 1/2 price), then found nirvana ... | |
| Do you rember your first? My Dad bought an old Philco "AV system" in the late 50s, with an inoperative mono phono preamp, so I used to get one of my mom's fine sewing needles and taped it to the apex of a rolled up paper cone "speaker" and played 45s on it! By my teens I h... | |
| Anyone compared Premium AC wire to regular romex? Disclaimer: I sell the stuff cause I like it so much!I DO find that using all-Teflon dielectric for dedicated lines DOES result in a cleaner top octave and absence of low-level noise or "phasey" artifacts from dielectric effects from cheap insulat... | |
| Verity Parsifal Encore opinions Actually they're very EASY to place if you move them out into the room and flip the woofer pods around to FRONT-firing. Results in an incredibly coherent wavefront in the nearfield. For placement closer than 5' from the front wall I'd then start t... | |
| Revel M20 or Meadowlark Shearwaters? Try the Plateau V23 23" stands, as they're $200 clones of the $500 Targets. Work great on fine monitors like the M20. | |
| New system help I would make sure that the Revel's impedence curve is friendly with tubes before going that route. This lovely monitor is VERY carefully spectrally matched, and the last thing you want to do is to "trampoline" its freq resp with a high output impe... | |
| Need speaker cables for HT System Canare S11 Star Quad for $0.69/ft is what the pros use. Great stuff. | |
| 'Last CD Player' search Despite my difficulties with the US distributor (see "Help Electrocompaniet Stole Christmas"), I'm still in awe of my system's sound with the EC EMC-1 MkII UP at the helm. The latest power supply mod DOES extend the top octave and increase the viv... | |
| Review: Nordost Red Dawn Interconnect I've used this fast and exciting RD XLR on my EC EMC-1 MkII to Aleph P, then long asymmetrical XLRS to the Aleph 2 monos, finally using rev II to my Parsifal Encores. GREAT performance, yet still could not get rid of its slight "clickiness" on tra... | |
| Where does one place AQ sorbogel feet? I put them in a drawer! Under my old tt they helped a bit, but now that I'm running pure Redbook I found that Neuance iso/absorb shelves VASTLY more coherent, with much tighter bass and "continuousness", if you will. | |
| "Aesthetically pleasing" DAC??? Electrocompaniet DAC. | |
| Keeping Drivers Healthy Armor-All won't hurt polypropylene-based cones. Won't protect them, either. Addiction? Thanks for the first day's laugh.... | |
| Who makes good quality bananas ? I used to collect those Chiquita stickers as a kid.... | |
| What causes imaging or the lack of it It's gotta be the room or, of course, a phase reversal somewhere. Check carefully. |
