| Exemplar Audio Exception Integrated Last Summer I got one of the Exemplar integrated amps to listen to. At the time, I had an Exemplar Exception preamp. I told Tucker that the integrated amp sounded better than the preamp. I understand that the original preamp is now changed. I thou... | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house I don't know what this says about dac output stages. Two amplifier stages versus one should not be superior. Since I have never heard of either line stage you mention, I cannot make other comments. | |
| New Lampizator Level 4/ Version 4 DAC in the house What is the difference between the L5 and the L7?Some time ago there was a discussion of the volume control on the L5 at THE Show. I have since heard the L5 into a line stage and then directly into the amp. Unless you have multiple sources, going ... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Since Sony preportedly is going to put its master tapes all on quad DSD, I suspect that will be the end of the difference. Master tapes will be digital. I suppose there willl be less dense copies because of portability. Now all I need is a DSD sou... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Ddraudt, I envy your being able to use the HF UR RCA digital cable. I need USB or FW. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I learned last night that the HF Ultimate References take a month to reach their best, which is shockingly superior. Too expensive but absolutely imperative if you want realism. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Metralla, since there is no universal agreement about cables, and turmoil in all generitic threads, I think Ddraudt is right, that thread with a single focus are the only beneficial threads. Of course, all that those of us interested in the High F... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Charles1dad, I don't think the philosophy implied in your comment that "there is no anything that lacks flaws," is destructive of improvements. I think that my philosophy is that nothing cannot be improved is better and clearly the Enhanced and Ul... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Jmcgrogan2, I guess that I have always been a leading edge guy. I love compression drivers for that reason. But these cables from the first CT-1 on have an ease and speed about them that is novel. What is most endearing about them, however, is the... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Silemus, I can answer question #1.Yes it does change the sound. In fact the manufacturer said that one magnet in the wrong direction among the many on each cable harms the sound.The sonic change of all the High Fidelity products sounds much the sa... | |
| Best interconnects & speaker cable? I don't get it Tubegroover, lots of rational people on this post. Unfortunately, trusting your ears is trial and error. There really is no predicting what you might hear. I had an experience yesterday of this. I had a new isolation platform and tried it under tw... | |
| Best interconnects & speaker cable? I don't get it Audiolabyrinth, please don't think I'm unhappy with where I am. I don't want to get off the merry-go-round. I am still thrilled with realism and I have met some great people. I must also say that I don't understand people who have no passions. Yea... | |
| Best interconnects & speaker cable? I don't get it Broadstone, It is hard for me to date the origins of my involvement with audio but it was somewhere in the late 1950s and it was with Dyna kits. I remember getting on the slippery slope of better audio with buying a Fisher 500, it the early '60s. ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Audiolabyrinth, yes I once invested in a live end/dead end room. After about two nights of hoping I had not wasted my effort and money, I tore it all out. The Tube traps had the same impact. Then are read about diffusion. From The Handbook of Acou... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I once had ten tube traps, I once had eight Room Lens, I once had four Shatki Holographic room treatments, I once had 22 RPG diffusors, and I once had mylar room mirrors. Now I have Zilplexes which are eleven tiny cups. I've had it! |
