| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Here is what I used to do to set subwoofer volume when I had them. Pick a frequency that both speakers are capable of reproducing as low as possible. I use 100 Hz. Reverse the connections on your main speakers and remove their input from the high ... | |
| APL 3910, Exemplar 3910, MF KW, Esoteric X-01? I have recently received the Exemplar 5910 which is still too new to be assessed, although the first night was a revelation. Apart from the possibility that the 5910 will change this, I have not heard any digital that beats the Reimyo CDP777, alth... | |
| What's the best s.s. integrated for Khorns? I agree with those who say don't go near ss with Klipshorns and don't consider such power as all you need is probably 1 watt. When I had them, I used a 1.56 watt 45 tube SET.How did you end up with Klipshorns? | |
| DVD-A vs. SACD Donbellphd, I understand your logic. I have three thoughts. One your assumption may be incorrect about direct to digital. Two, even if true, the dac used may be superior to those in homes. Third, analog transfer even from digitally recorded record... | |
| Denon DL304 They were only imported into Canada to my knowledge. I have one that I have not used in years although I thought it was better than the Denon 103. | |
| SACD player as transport or dedicated transport? Pardales, the latest versions of the Exemplar 3910 do improve the transport performance. I cannot say how important this is, however. Certainly a used Denon 3910 could be had within your price range. The SONY SCD-1 would probably not be in that ra... | |
| DVD-A vs. SACD Thus far, I have always preferred SACD. I have one DVDA that sounds quite good but about 20 that do not. I have about 400 SACDs and in many cases have cd counterparts. I have so many SACDs as I seek all that are released that are within my tastes.... | |
| Exemplar , Are they they still in Buisness? I expect to have an Exemplar 5910 on my return from Alaska. There will be no mods of the Denon 5900 as there are no further mods of the out of production Denon 2900. There will be an Exemplar dac for redbook only. | |
| Reversing Polarity -- Voodoo or Easy Tweak? So what do you conclude? | |
| Exemplar , Are they they still in Buisness? I would love to have the opportunity to do so myself, but I know that I little trust others' comparisons and believe no one should jump to the conclusion that what sounds good in my system would apply elsewhere. | |
| Exemplar , Are they they still in Buisness? The webpage is very much out of date; perhaps because he is so busy. The 3910 has sold quite well. There is a new Dac, a flagship 5910 mod, and the Altec driver tractrix horned speakers.I have never had the chance to compare the Exemplar and APL 3... | |
| Why is it so much more civil over here on Agon? Because of the format, threads come and go more swiftly on AA and have a greater initial burst of responses. I see no other difference. | |
| Any tube subwoofers out there? I imagine this is about amplifiers? Power is the answer. If you could have a very efficient subwoofer, the 45 tube has excellent bass. | |
| Reversing Polarity -- Voodoo or Easy Tweak? I guess I would say that in the past when I had the capability on digital easily compare that about 1 disk in 10 made a difference. I should say that Clark Johnsen also once visited when I had the capability on vinyl and digital. He heard it on mo... | |
| Reversing Polarity -- Voodoo or Easy Tweak? Eldartford, I suspect that you are right that would see little difference on a scope. This is always my concern as in some cases I heard a decidedly different sound with a reverse in polarity. I suspect that recording engineers indifference to pol... |
