| I Just Don't Hear It - I wish I did Wondering what people aren't doing with their weeknights/ends because we're arguing about the benefits/pseudo benefits/degree of benefits/lack of benefits of tweaks. Taking a step back I would venture that this thread has had more impact on our li... | |
| I Just Don't Hear It - I wish I did Rushton, I think I speak for most if not all that we're jealous you have a spouse who is as enthusiastic about this hobby as we are! nice! | |
| I Just Don't Hear It - I wish I did 05-24-09: Jimjoyce25Marigo Mystery Feet provided an immediate, highly significant and positive audible difference in my system.At $799 for 3, they'd better. | |
| I Just Don't Hear It - I wish I did 05-24-09: Cruz123The only changes that have been significantly noticable in my system are component changes, modifications to equipment (and sometimes those are iffy) and speaker cable /interconnect changes. I have yet to hear a footer make much,... | |
| I Just Don't Hear It - I wish I did It's a conspiracy, marketing or both. I am with the OP -- I struggle to understand how feet and other tweaks the night and day differences that I read about, moreover that the component itself was seemingly putting out a fraction of its potential ... | |
| Advice going from SS to tubes? For me I think it really comes down to whether I want to change out my speakers for more efficient ones. Of all the audio components that have come and gone, my speakers have remained. Partly because I believe they are very good, partly because th... | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? 05-22-09: MlsstlI'll nominate this series of posts as the frontrunner for the 2009 award for which thread has most outlived its usefulness. ;-)Mlsstl (Reviews | Answers)Totally disagree. To me, this has been a very useful thread, albeit taking on ... | |
| MHZS 66F vs 88F CD players And there are people who are cured by snake oil. Come on people. The fact the company marketed the DAC as "customized" was more than enough for me. Why reward negative behavior?Buyer beware.Aceboympk (Threads | Answers)The difference between buyin... | |
| Upsampling frequency adjustment in MHZS 88F player Hi Transl, did you ever contact Joe at Pac Valve? Don't know if he will send you an Eng manual or not. Not much to it really, tube rolling is straightforward. As mentioned, you can't change the upsampling while the disc is playing. Push the button... | |
| Advice going from SS to tubes? Tpreaves, I believe you posted another thread some time back thinking your cd player was too bright, and the ensuing group consensus was that it was your speakers. And you bought the Tylers and it was a revelation. Congrats to you...My interest is... | |
| Shindo Auriges vs. Cary SLP98 I'd love to hear an all Shindo system. Must be very magic indeed. | |
| Advice going from SS to tubes? I should add my total budget for speakers and amp is $3-4k, room is around 12' x 18' x 12' (decent sized, not huge). Source is strictly cd. | |
| Shindo Auriges vs. Cary SLP98 One thing to keep in mind is the relatively high output impedance of the Auriges of ~5k ohm. | |
| Shindo Auriges vs. Cary SLP98 I am an owner of an Aurieges and like all things, it is system dependent. They probably sound best with tube amps (though I'm pairing mine with Nuforce Class D's). If you buy it for anything less then $2k you should be able to recoup your money on... | |
| Usher Amp & Pre? I've read it is class A for the first 50w, class a/b after that. It also says "ideal" class a on front, which suggests something other then pure class a. I've found nothing definitive, but here is a link to an Usher retailer, with several links to... |
