| Pure Audio Project open baffle speakers Emerald Physics Open Baffle have won many awards. My 3 years experience with their KCIIs (with WireWorld and Clarity Cap upgrades) is joyful. At under 48" tall they blow away my Magnepan 3.5Rs (6ft+) and are a very easy load to drive @ 95 dB+: MS... | |
| Oppo BDP-105D just for CDs? My dac/preamp has been turned off since I upgraded the Oppobut it's simple, just bypass your pre and listenYMMV | |
| 15 ft XLR thoughts (BJC/Mogami etc) Brad, don’t let Mike’s OPINION sway you. Clearly, it is NOT based on experienceHowever, a quality 15ft pair of XLRs can easily top $1000, and likely $2000. Best move is to bring them within 1 meter of each other | |
| 15 ft XLR thoughts (BJC/Mogami etc) You state you own very high quality (and expensive) amp and pre and somehow expect that a cheap ass XLR cable will allow you to hear what they are musically capable of? Mind Blown | |
| Oppo BDP-105D just for CDs? I use my 105 just for spinning discs; red book, DVD-A and SACDIt is common knowledge that its weak link is the OEM power supply module. The good news is its a relatively easy DIY as complete PNP modules are available on Ebay ($200 and up). Should ... | |
| Who's Gone Topless? Immature? LOL, Having owned Stillpoints with Risers, among many similar devices, I find Machina Dynamica springs to get at the heart of the matter for maybe 1% of the SP pricesAND, if you’re spinning CDs, his New Dark Matter is a revelation | |
| Marantz HD CD 1 Awesome Transport I would think so, but the manual is on a cd and I never opened it | |
| SACD A major pitfall with SACDs since they can be so much more revealing with much deeper noise floors is the rest of the system. Last night I played Moody Blues, Blood Sweat and Tears and Elton John Madman Across the Water (I have Gaucho but it's DVD-... | |
| best preamp ever - cost is no object tbgs +1 for being a Geoiff Kait accolite I did teleport, have his pebbles, ceramic outlet covers, springs under everything, New Dark Matter, stickers that are placed over the bar codes...And while Ive heard improvements at every turn, the 2 with ... | |
| best preamp ever - cost is no object In my humble opinion, the best starts with being Differentially Balanced= TRUE balanced, but to appreciate what that does, your amp needs to be DB alsoIn that vein, though I've never heard it, Tortuga Audio preamps tech is first rate and likely to... | |
| XLR cable recommendation, preamp to Marchand XM 66 crossover When I upgraded to WireWorld 8 series, I was surprised at how much more bass was revealed | |
| Good cheap amplifiers like Parasound HCA series? A couple days ago I saw a P Halo A23 for $600 either here or USAudiomart | |
| Who's Gone Topless? I neglected to add Last night I listened to the SACD version of Blood Sweat and Tears, originally recorded 1968, but this is a Legacy DSD remaster 2000This is one of the discs I always spin after making a significant change. Never ever ever has... | |
| Who's Gone Topless? I replaced the first filter with a simple fiberglass filter. After listening last night I did not mute the modules, and checking this morning the filter is barely warm hth | |
