| Confused addict: need help with upgrade Good advice from the prior writers. Nice to see some guys "get it"! You might want to read "10 Secrets to Better Sound" at www.audiotweakers.com It's loaded with insight as to why changing componets should be the last thing to do. | |
| 300B Speakers, Reynaud & Reference 3A I have heard the Ref 3A de CAPOS with low powered SETs at shows, which are horrible conditions. However, based on that we took on the line. | |
| digital glare - problems/solutions I already have a PS Audio Ultimae Outlet. I just put 3 sets of Stillpoints under CD Player, Plinius amp, and SV Sub. Shockingly better. I ordered 3 more sets. Review available. Email me. | |
| Kinergatics amp I loved my KBA-75 Platinum. Company out of biz, make sure someone is authorized to work on it. I screwed up and blew mine up. You can email me for alternatives. | |
| CD Player: Audio Aero Capitole Mk I vs. Mk II I sold my Plinius integrated to prepare for a Capitole. Seems to be too many problems with them. GamuT CD-1 is extremely close, for a lot less $$$$$$. | |
| Am I missing something in the MFSL Tarkus LP Chances are your system was out of phase with then record.This would account for your comments. Want to know more about such stuff? Go to www.audiotweakers.com | |
| Best efficient, passive sub - Any suggestions? Bass amplification is more demanding then your Jolida is qualified to handle. If your preampsection has dual outs you're in business. If not AA sells Monster adapters so you can run a second pair of interconnects to an active sub. SV Subs makes so... | |
| Does subwoofer + bookshelve=full range speaker? If your question supercedes B&W and ML, then I can tell you I am using Reference 3A MM de Capos with a SVSubwoofer- total retail $3200. I have owned Genesis Vs ($12K), Accoustat 2+2 and 3+3s, Chateau References (monitors) with dual Sunfire MK ... | |
| Tube friendly speakers UNDER 1K? DEFINITELY- Reference 3A MM de Capos | |
| Vibration Tweaks I have tried them all, and highly recommend Aurios MIBs, or Brass triple points. | |
| Best Subwoofer for 1500- 2500???? I am a dealer BUT ordered from a Direct Only company (NO DEALER DISCOUNT)-SV Subwoofers. I haven't received it yet, but they have gotten substantial reviews. | |
| Replace DVD or add dedicated CD? IMHO, even at the upper end of the pricing spectrum, combined players will be highly compromised. Best to keep 'em separate. I have a CEC TL5100Z belt-drvie transport/player for sale. It would be killer to start your serious CD rig. See my ad on AG. | |
| How to improve the sound of VTL2.5? In addition to the usual suspects (see the two responses above), it may be something else, like your source. I recently purchased the GamuT CD-1 and was floored at all the new found music! | |
| Upsampling the way to go? ? Up and oversampling ala GamuT CD-1 Danish CD Player- better then twice DSD sample rate. $2950, see review in The Absolute Sound. I just got mine, and am loving it!!!!! Huge 3 D sound stage. | |
| Upsampling put to "THE TEST": R U ready 2 take it? While I have no doubt the basic findings would be similar, we are taking the reviewer at his word when exclaiming "everything was the same throughout". This is a bit hard to swallow. Tweaking has a greater impact on sound then many/most realize. T... |
