| Naim -- Fatiguing? I had a full Linn/Naim system for 10 years and found it fulfilling and never fatiguing. At the time I worked in a high end audio shop, and we compared mamy amps including Perreaux, Threshold, Stax, Levinson,etc. The Naim consistently played cleane... | |
| Help setting up cartridge VTA Sorry, I never had a cartridge that used negative VTA. My apologies for the partial "bum steer". | |
| I give UP Aerial 10Ts and Power Amps If you want high volume don't get an 86db inefficient speaker. They can make aircraft carriers go pretty fast, but they need a nuclear reactor to do it. I am not sure of your problem, but efficient speakers of at least 93db/1watt and high power ha... | |
| Help setting up cartridge VTA Tony, I usually do it by ear. Set the tonearm/cartridge up so it is level when it is on the record. Then, remove it from the record, and raise the VTA adjustment very slightly. Make note of where you adjusted it to. Listen to the record. Play arou... | |
| What's the best 7" & 8" woofers available? Rbj. Your question is a very observant one. If you have followed my threads on the single driver subject, you will know that I have been using a network like the one you describe for my own speakers. Yes, the network does lower the impedance spike... | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 As an add to Allan's post, I think that the ZOTL design is the major reason why the amp can perform much higher than it costs. ZOTL allows much fewer parts and eliminates the real costly ones like the big$ output transformer and large banks of tub... | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 A hunka hunka Berning love. | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 Ken, welcome to the Berning Owners Club. Enjoy. | |
| Beyond SACD with Redbook: Price No Object From what I understand, the Sony players use the same SACD DAC chip to output the SACD and CD signal. This could account for the improved performance some of us seem to hear in Redbook on the Sony players. I also might mention that it was reported... | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 Ianrmack, you are going to love that amp. You will not believe how good it sounds till you actually plug it in and listen. It will be a shock. Even after all this talk about it, you can't realize the level you are at till you hear it. Make sure th... | |
| Why SACD,DVD-A are already DEAD Bufus, the industry is so worried about bootlegging that they are going to extreme measures. I recently read an article online about how they are having pow-wows with all the major music publishers and consumer electronics companies trying to deci... | |
| What's the best 7" & 8" woofers available? Rbj, the answer to your question depends on the drivers and their crossover points. When using active crossovers, they should be used to bracket the ranges that the drivers are most suited to drive.If you use only the flattest center sections of t... | |
| Beyond SACD with Redbook: Price No Object As I said on the other thread, I believe that SACD is clearly better. This is not to say that you can't get good sound out of CD, but you have to use the interpolation methods of upsampling to "enhance" the sound with mathematical "fill ins" that ... | |
| Why SACD,DVD-A are already DEAD According to a salesman at Crutchfield, SACD car players and walkmans are coming this summer. BTW, I have experienced the opposite type of listener fatigue as the others mentioned. When I listen to SACD, I am relaxed. When I listen to even good CD... | |
| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 I am a Berning owner and I can tell you right now I would love to have someone give me a set of the 75w Tenors. I have the "lowly" MicroZOTL which is only 1 watt/channel,$750, and sounds like a million bucks with high eff. spkrs. I think this amp ... |
