| Question about Denon 2900 vs. 3910 I like my modified (Exemplar) 3910 but the new Denon 5910 clearly is superior both in audio and video. If you are into video, which I am not, this is the universal player for you, as judged by all the video reviews I have read. | |
| Do I need power conditioning I am not of much help. I have not heard the Audio Magic in my home and had never heard of the Running Spring. | |
| Question about Denon 2900 vs. 3910 I am told the transport is superior in the 3910. It certainly makes less noise. While I have had neither unit stock, the Exemplar mods on the 3910 far surpass those on the 2900. The 2900 is discontinued. | |
| Do I need power conditioning How old are the components in your system? If they are new, the on and off best performance could be break-in. Otherwise, you might monitor the voltage of your liine and see if low voltage goes along with what you hear.The best conditioners can gi... | |
| Best solid state pre-amp below US $ 10.000,00 ?? H-Cat P12B. This is the only solid state line stage that I can listen to. Fortunately, it is also better than any of the tube line stages that I have listened to. | |
| ELP laser turntable - any comments? The Halcyonics page has changed. I can no longer find the nice looking low box that could support 220 pounds. All I can find now is the 40 and the 60 which differ only in the size of the platform. I do not know why the new model is no longer menti... | |
| ELP laser turntable - any comments? Eldartford, Yep! | |
| ELP laser turntable - any comments? Userchallenged and Albert, initially the Walker used Valid Points. I imagine that you could go back to them.Eldartford, how good is the Halcyonic? Ideally, it would be nice to try both. | |
| ELP laser turntable - any comments? Useridchallenged, I think this is the sophisticated controlled spring isolation base. Versus the acoustic feedback unit as the Stereophile show. It was from Halcyonics. Do you know if this is correct? | |
| ELP laser turntable - any comments? Essentialaudio, while I agree that the demo of the ELP was in a less than ideal system in CES 2004, I thought you could hear much of what was going on. I have no idea whether the ELP can reach the level of the best tables, such as the Loricraft 50... | |
| ELP laser turntable - any comments? Useridchallenged, what you depict is what I heard in several listens at CES 2004. It is good to hear from someone with no axe to grind.I assume that you have had no problems with your unit, but are you concerned about the apparent lack of support ... | |
| cable directionality Nerspellsner, this may be true but the manufacturer may find that all important. Most do not go to the extremes that Mikro Omega does and construct cables with the direction of both the hot and neutral taken into consideration. The way they came o... | |
| thoughts on nordost thor? Systems vary. I don't think the Adept Response is in the same league with the Sound Application Line Reference. But I don't think filter approaches the IsoClean. It is expensive, however. | |
| cable directionality I always use the direction of the signal from front end to amps. The most satisfying rule probably should be what sounds best, but some cables don't mind which way you use them but switching them around makes them sound worse at least for a while.... | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables Biggest diameter; Bill Low's Big Red circa 1973 over an inch in diameter. Highest capacitance: Cobra cables, circa 1977. Stiffest: FIM Golds, circa 1998. |
