| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? I have three of Roger Paul's new products. I have always been of the opinion that EE is an occupation not a science. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, I dropped my EE major and went into physics. Once at a RMAF presentation with two amps, the pr... | |
| Audio desk pro vs. Clear audio double matrix There is some concern about too much vibration breaking off vinyl.All that I can say is that I hate cleaning vinyl but that it is urgent. I own about 10,000 records and suspect I have not play ever, and perhaps, many have never been cleaned.I us... | |
| recommendations for amplifiers that don't emit tons of heat I can strong recommend two amps. The B.M.C. M2 monoblocks have fans but very quiet ones. In balanced XLR and the Koda K-10, they are great!The other is the H-Cat X-11 amp with automatic focus. It has heat sinks on back. I live in Texas and have h... | |
| Can I Live With A Hardwood Floor? I have lived with hard wood flooring for 28 years with horns, ribbons, electrostatics, including the original Quads, big dynamic drivers in the BMC Arcadia speakers, and monitor speakers. Everything up front is on Star Sound Audio Points or their ... | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... All that I will bother to say is that buying High Fidelity PCs is putting yourself on a slipery slope, but it is a great ride. | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... I don't argue with people anymore. I know that power cables, interconnects, speaker wires, power supplies, output circuits, isolation, wires of the floor, grounding, etc. all make a difference. Now I'm going to listen to music so realistic that yo... | |
| coupling or decoupling of vinyl to/ from platter Guys, I sometimes ask myself the same thing. All that I can additionally say is that this was in the early 1980s and my funds were more limited. I would dearly love to still have it and to compare it with the Nantais.The Final would be more of a p... | |
| coupling or decoupling of vinyl to/ from platter Well in some 45 years plus experimenting with turntables, tonearms, mats, drives, isolation racks, cartridges, phono cables, power cords, clamps, etc., I have had the many experiences above. At one extreme, I had a Final Audio turntable. It was al... | |
| Get my turntable fixed or buy a new one? Pipebro, I would have the motor checked out. Does the spindle turn by hand? | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Ozzy and jmcgrogan2, First I will say that the HFC Pros are exceptionally pricy as well as outstanding! I have struggled and sold many things to keep the Pros. I have known Gross for thirty years, since he was stuffing preamp full of stuffing or m... | |
| Think twice before concluding some thing sounds better I have had instances where something new is immediately evident, but I also have grounding cables that if moved take time to get back to their best. I don't think any conclusion holds for everything.I also know that being at the edge of realism is... | |
| Evaluating a system - what do you listen for? I would use the words, realism or holographic, as the essence of what I am now hearing. My last four years have been eye opening to me. I am now hearing very precise locational information, such as where all musicians are, in the case of piano sol... | |
| 12 ft pair of thick speakers cables?? Can they be cut downt to a 6 ft pair?? It sounds like it would be a real pain to shorten them. I think that you should have only one isolator. If you put it up high, will you cables stay put? I have often done this with my Rightway Audio insolators, and always found one sounds much bet... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? sautan904, I will not waste my time with all of the nonsense in posts here, but there is absolutely no question that the High Fidelity 'Pro' cables surpass all other cables, especially if HFCables are used with them on a decent system. Unfortunate... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? I agree with Goeffkait that bind tests have very limited value, but for the primary reason that they don't correspond to listening and therefore are invalid.if I are merely hidden for your knowing what components are being used and you get to list... |
