| Coated woofer - why? Thanks guys, glad to have learned a bit today. Wish I could have seen the post that was deleted, I am sure I missed out on a nasty clever bit of advice, hopefully it was a pun. I was expecting a “cuz its cold” but ebm must have been much better.... | |
| External DAC For Oppo 105 At What Cost? Just to hear the difference, I tried an old PS Audio Digilink III with my Oppo 105, and it added something sometimes to some tracks and the filters were kinda fun to play with. Then went on to their Perfect Wave DAC which was significantly better... | |
| AMP or Preamp You are living one of my audiophile fantasies, here's what I would do. First make sure you have basics covered - decent cabling, power conditioning, room treatment - if you're starting from scratch this could be $1000-$2000, but all must dos to g... | |
| Have you been surprised by power cable changes? s I was not surprised with the improvements brought to SQ with power cord upgrades bc of the authoritative experiences of so many posters on this site, and the very basic understanding that everything that makes these black boxes work is driven by p... | |
| Thiel Owners Right back at ya jafant!Did y'all see the thread re the interest in resurrecting Dunlavy? Curious if anyone can compare the Dunlavy sound to Thiel? Geoff Poor was the first guy who explained the importance of time/phase coherence to me, he was a... | |
| Thiel Owners As usual I am impressed at the level of discourse on this thread, entertaining, educational, and consistently civil despite differences in opinions experiences and ears - bravo! Probably a pedestrian observation, but a new chair made me realize h... | |
| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad In the search for SQ improvement from the room, I tried removing the rack and put the components on the floor (separated by the same wood and isolation devices used with the rack) and things improved, big enough I never even tried a reverse trial ... | |
| Saw Brian Ferry Last Night! I saw he was touring and wondered about the quality of performance, esp bc the venues look awesome - thanks for the headsup! | |
| PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC upgrade to DSD? When I was shopping for my first set of speakers, which turned out to be the Thiels, I did listen to Harbeth and Dynaudia Special 40s, and they just didn’t have the jump factor or immersive qualities I have heard from bigger speakers. I was start... | |
| PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC upgrade to DSD? Thanks mike_in_nc, I have looked at the response curve nearly every time someone tells me the speakers are the problem, and yes different speakers are in my future, maybe they should come first but man it’s going to take some traveling to listen a... | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia ll footers plus carpet spikes Same experience with the Gaias, improved resolution esp mid bass, I have wood over cement slab floor in the listening room, so no need for spikes and imagine others with less solid floors will have even better results. | |
| Power conditioners under $1000? Wow, thanks guys, I have both narrowed and broadened my list! | |
| PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC upgrade to DSD? hmmm....thanks for the continuing encouragement....again your advice is nudging me closer to trying. Still need that second set of speakers tho, else the music dies while the work progresses which would be a very sorry state indeed. | |
| Power conditioners under $1000? erik_squires - thanks, I came across your post/link on another thread and found it very informative, I think I understand why you recommend the Furman products, and in absence of more info am leaning toward their elite line based on what I've read... | |
| PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC upgrade to DSD? I wish, sadly no, and thanks a bunch for the offer. You've moved me closer to trying this, some day. |
