| Audio Refinement cd vs. MF A3 cd Also disappointed by BOTH the ARC (too soft) and the 'Canto(too "whitish"...slightly smeared up top). Rotel on a Neuance isolation platform floats my boat 'til...? | |
| Cough vigilante ...and how ironic that some concert-goers "time" their exclamations for the quieter passages, somehow "thinking" this is LESS interruptive of the music!Well, spring is coming, and with it higher relative humidity in artificially heated halls, and ... | |
| Blind Listening Tests? There's nothing like resorting to my 14 yr old daughter's high-sensitivity hearing of top octaves as a useful tool employed in single-blinds to guide my tweaks. Turns my p.20 fuzziness to p.50 placebo or p.05 reality pretty quickly! Ah, but expect... | |
| Shelf Material - Neuance Hmmm...still enjoying Neuance under my CDP, but am finding nirvana elusive. Whereas top end distortions seem mitigated, and PRAT is superb, I'm still bothered by leanness, especially noticeable on massed strings. I notice that when I pay attention... | |
| Shelf Material - Neuance I interrupt my program of music-listening-inspired near-rapture to report that Neuance works! My hitherto-thought-to-be-overly-lean sound is now cleaner and harmonically cohesive; no more "clickiness" or rough-razored transients; improvement in "n... | |
| Did Marconi invented radio...? In 1966, as a high school freshman I pored over microfiche of early Scientific Americans and wrote a paper on Nathan B Stubblefield, who first communicated "wireless" using inductionfields, near the Potomac well before Marconi.His work was ignored... | |
| Top 10 TV Shows Boston Public (Fox) has a GREAT intro theme, no?Gotta admit I'm addicted to West Wing...even got a "Bartlett for President" bumper sticker (before we got bush-wacked!). | |
| Stainless Steel audio racks? Hmm...cat 'n mouse or tongue-in-cheek? | |
| Sand bags under a cdp - didn't work well Rgd...just noticed that you have an Arcam. I demoed an ARCAM 9 last summer and although I was impressed with its tonality and resolution, I repeatedly felt it lacked PRAT compared to my old Rotel, (alone or with the 'Canto DAC1). As I've read some... | |
| Sand bags under a cdp - didn't work well I've replaced my wheel-barrow inner tube with a Neuance shelf. Bass is better controlled. Treble is perhaps more detailed and cleaner. I found that sticking a couple of sheets of self-stick asphalt (unpeel it from the trunk of your car!) on the CD... | |
| Top Ten Interconnects of all time... Jla, David...Please elucidate your perceived differences between the HT and the Nordost. I'm contemplating replacing my Red Dawn with something equally detailed but less lean, and am considering HT or Siltech G3 (available locally).Thanks. Ernie | |
| Vote for the best speakers in 10K range Je propose les Parsifals Encores de Verity Audio a Quebec.Simplement merveilleux et extraordinaire! Profond, naturelle, un peu relaxe...mais toujours exigent et plein de musicalite! Salut! Ernest | |
| Siltech "G5" Hi Sugarbie. Small world. After my complaints re system leanness Ethan at Spearit in Boston recommended I also replace my Red Dawn with Siltech G3!...except he has none for me to demo! Hmmm....Please further elucidate your perceived differences: h... | |
| Nordost SPM vs. Quatro Fil Greetings! Am finding my system's ound a little too lean in the lower mids, and "clicky" on transients. Am using RedDawn throughout. Should I try SPM between CDP (RCA) and Aleph P, or switch to another "warmer" family?(A local dealer suggested tha... | |
| Shelf Material - Neuance Ken...thanks for the confirmation.Mark...given space restrictions, would you recommend going to the trouble of fashioning a metal shelf to sit between my wooden shelf and Neuance? Phew! Think I'll first try Mark's hardened spikes screwed into my w... |
