| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system BuT…having more power and less dial change is generally a good thing. Much like proper amplification and having that “power reserve “ leads to better saturation and SQ. @wolf_garcia , you are just hell bent on insulting me because I don’t like you... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Didn’t say they did. Just describing a difference. Not sure how a simple observation without qualifying it as good or bad is nonsense | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Got 30 minutes turning dials. CO bass bands more powerful with more slam. Bass weak records on HEKse can turn sub and 40hz dials almost all the way to get the same slam and tactility as CO with much less dialed in. Oh, also the treble and bass ban... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system The unit is indeed more transparent, both in bypass and engaged with all dials flat, than the CO. Miro is correct there. More on SQ of filters dialed in later. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Ok. The Skyline is functioning BEAUTIFULLY in my HP chain. Initial impressions good. First minutes. Let me listen critically more tomorrow and report back on Skyline CO comparisons then. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system I CAN report so far that Miro s description of the completely transparent hard bypass switch is correct though. More on how it is in my HP chain later. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system “Avalon AD2055, Millennia nseq4, and my own Charter Oak all sound unbelievable in home playback “ But this Skyline isn’t working. Have informed Jason at Revive. The problem is half volume and distortion. Funny these cables work for all of the abo... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Have picked up and am bringing home the Skyline M3D right now. Impressions soon! | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Indeed comparing the XLR to XLR for my HP chain to the above mentioned custom wired XLR to RCA, sonically there is no difference. Perfect and absolutely lossless way to mate pro XLR only to unbalanced RCA only gear. | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Did that for my unbalanced Bryston tape loop. Cardas custom wired the pins (pseudo balanced) and works perfectly with no distortion and no need for an additional box. Once had a Aphex converter box in the beginning. The Cardas custom cable without... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Basically you have your custom pin wiring scheme with the XLR to rca that gets you to unity gain | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system For the scenario described above, you need to get the phono signal to line level with a phono stage preamp. Then if you’re still unbalanced, talk to me. I’ll get you to balanced properly without an additional box | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system “ Hi Tim, I just had a conversation with the last purchaser of the M3D. He is having a mismatch issue as he is using Phono level into a +4 device that is causing distortion. He initially assured me he had a converter but in fact does not. I wan... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system No more bashing either. They both can play a role in augmenting the audiophile listening experience | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Again, both analog and digital advancements have come along since 1981. Referencing your past experiences years ago with analog is irrelevant |
