Playback Designs MPS-5 - Measerments v. Sound
Has anyone received the new upgrade board. I think it is an upgrade power supply. I am still waiting for one from my dealer. I wonder how much of an improvement it might make? 
Changing from an XV1-S
I am curious. I think that most people would tend to agree that at its price point, VPI Classic is certainly a good buy. Let say that if you have a Classic with all the upgrade option ie ring clamp, VTA tower/valhalla wire, SDS which would bring t... 
Changing from an XV1-S
I have VPI Classic/XV-1s combo for almost a year now. I think the combination improved significantly with addition of peripheral ring clamp, upgrade Valhalla wire. Currently my Classic is at my dealler as I decided to add SDS. I tried plugging my ... 
AMR / EMM / PLAYBACK Designs
I think the comment regarding EMM sounds more similar (or accurate) in comparison to Lyra Titan/Rockport is interesting. I have not heard Lyra often enough and never heard A90 but I do think that Lyra house sound certainly seems to be in the same ... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Get real, this thread is about Synergistic Research, if someone has issue with somebody else, please take it elsewhere that is more appropriate. 
SUT shootout
Quick question on Hashimoto HM-7. I actually have been thinking about getting Hashimoto HM-3 (Sound Tradition Live MC-10) for awhile but I am not familiar with HM-7.Who makes SUT with Hashimoto HM-7? Also any idea how it might match to lower imped... 
AMR / EMM / PLAYBACK Designs
Bar81, thanks for the information, I will let my friend knows since I was at his place a couple of weeks ago, he still did not know about any fix on switching input problem between high rez and SACD. Also, do you know if the new firmware will make... 
AMR / EMM / PLAYBACK Designs
Bar81, I did not mean to imply that EMM only works well with incredibly expensive power cord. It kind of surprise me though. Usually, even with stock cables, I expect a unit to work ok and give a reasonable performance. Better matched cable certai... 
AMR / EMM / PLAYBACK Designs
I changed my mind a bit about EMM. The other day, I spent several hours listening to XDS1 in my friend's system with top of the line T&A active speaker, McIntosh preamp (can't remember which one). The first couple of hours, using Kubala Sosna ... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
I agree about MIG under computer. While there were noticeable changes with DAC, amp etc, I found the biggest improvement in my system when I placed them under my computer server also. However, it was the fifth set of MIG in my system so I don't kn... 
dcs debussy
Interesting idea. I wonder though since there are so many way to upsample and some are better than other. Do you find using sample manager etc as good as using dCS to upsample?At this time, I actually am using XXHighend program with arc predicton ... 
AMR / EMM / PLAYBACK Designs
I now have PD in my system and it is not even well broken in yet but so far I am very impressed. It sounds like Berkeley DAC on steroid. I found its sound closer to Berkeley than EMM XDS1, surprisingly. Whatever Berkeley does well, it improves it ... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Cable Company told me about 3 choices for tail length. I runs 2 pair of 16 inches tails for biwiring.One caution as it has been mention, Speaker Cells are quite light and with Apex speaker cables, they may not sit so easily on the floor. Also, my ... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
I believe that the tails are available in 3 standard length. A 16 inch pairs come standard with speaker cells but you can get longer lengths. I definitely think that they are worthwhile addition. I did get extension leads for MPC for speaker cells... 
ProAc D28 vs Usher Dancer Mini 2
Mc4b, I think you definitely will need to listen for yourself. In the past, I was choosing between Proac and Martin Logan and ended up with ML. This was several years ago. Usher was the speakers that finally convinced me to switch back to dynamic ...
