| What's the Least You Could Live With? Revel F30 with Audio Refinement Complete Integrated,a decent Rotel/Planet/Whatever CDP; maybe Blue Heaven IC andcables. A Neuance for the CDP. Well under $5k with reasonable discount. Ern | |
| Best CD player now made. IMHO The Electrocompaniet EMC-1 MkII is incredible for around $3500 net. | |
| Can someone explain db sensitivity? I thought a 6dB difference is perceived as "doubly" loud(4x power), not 10 dB. Someone clarify this? Isn't it a surface area, and therefore geometric (squaring) function for loudness, and not a logarithmic one?Ern | |
| Very good Balanced XLR cable, suggestions? I just substituted Discovery Essence (copper) XLR for Harm Tech Pro-Silway MkII (silver/copper) and am shocked by the improvement in midrange body and musicality. The Silways sound too laid back and lean, by comparison. The Essence is full-bodied ... | |
| Best interconnects 2m for less than 200/pr used I second the recommendation for the Blue Heaven. If you can get away with 1m, I'll sell you my Red Dawn RCA for that, as I just went balanced. Ern | |
| Does crossover make a difference in efficiency? I agree. The efficiency of the speaker is probably dictatedby the efficiency of the naked woofer after mating it to its LF management with the cabinet loading. The tweeter is then padded down to match the woofer. The woofer probably is running onl... | |
| Best speaker with tubes? Do you mean "ports?" | |
| Recommendations for Shielded Power Cord Hi Bry,Just finished cutting up our Arts & Crafts 300 lb rack, so measured holes for my Aleph while sitting on a Neuance shelf.Bought a Harm Tech Pro-Silway AC11 at the same time.Not sure, but I'd say the loss of the Neuance under the EMC-1 Mk... | |
| Which support for underneath CD player? Red,Interesting sloppy experiment: wanted to install my Aleph Pinside my rack, drilling access holes appropriate for height cun Neuance, so robbed the Neuance from my emc-1 mkIIand slid it under the pre. Installed a Harm Tech AC ProII PC on the em... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Bmpnyc,My sidewalls are windowed (L), or a fireplace (R), with stuffed furniture. A more WAF-acceptable trick is to simply grab one of the large square throw-pillows we have and prop it uponto the back of said sofa or stuffed chair, thereby quashi... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? I've been very impressed with those ultralight Neuance shelves under my CDPs (made a HUGE difference under the Rotel, and a more subtle improvement in coherence with my 44lb EMC-1 MkII). Far greater bass articulation and PRAT than inner tubes.Also... | |
| Recommendations for Shielded Power Cord I bought 8 shielded 14/3 heavy-duty Belden 6 foot PCs at a yard sale recently. Send me a $10 bill and I'll ship you one. Call for address, as my email is down. Ern781 483-3922 | |
| Which support for underneath CD player? I found a Neuance to INCREDIBLY transform an older Rotel CDP by dramatically improving its coherence...so I even bought one for my new 44 lb EMC-1 mkII. The improvements here are indeed more subtle, but include a small further "tightening" of the ... | |
| Wadia, Audio Aero, Meridian, BAT and BOW Yikes! I bought my EMC-1 mkII (US list $5000) for $2200 NEW from a reseller in Denmark 2 months ago (yup, it WAS the first in the US...NOT Delve Audio's!) I'll call him again soon to see what the MkII DAC can be bought for. If it's under $500 I'd ... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC-1 MkII: XLR better?? Hi guys. I'm amazed by the difference in sound between the RCA Pro-Silway Mk II and the XLR Discovery Essence (both 1m)! The Essence is clearly more dynamnic, with a more vivid, less laid back presentation. Just when I'm tempted to call it a bit r... |
