| Anyone with experience with the effectiveness of the AVA HUMDINGER? I tried the Humdinger to eliminate Rogue transformer hum, and it didn't do a thing. The unit is extremely well made, and I have no doubt it does exactly what they say it does, only what it was eliminating was not causing my hum. AVA were very ea... | |
| Considering used towers under $1000.. Audio Archon has them in Libertyville. | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. As an alternative, has anyone inserted an RP-1 in their current pre/power set-up? When you run RoomPerfect, does it otherwise affect how your Krell/Jadis sounds? | |
| ‘modern’, ‘mainstream’ speakers—too many models converging towards too similar a sound Thanks, guys, interesting discussion.What I didn't put in the original post is that through this same experience I was also very impressed by three different speakers all of which could be considered to have wide baffles (certainly by modern stand... | |
| Totem Forest Signature v. Joseph Audio Profile If you go with 1 foot you'll squash a lot of life out of them. If you can position properly, both are excellent choices. | |
| CDP's: NuPrime vs Naim Lots of Nuprime commentary on Audio Circle.Also I think there's a new DAC that's just dropped. | |
| Optimal high impedance speaker Save up for the least expensive version of the Audio Note AN-E, or look for a used pair. | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker I’ll leave the technical discussion to the boffins. The point I was trying to make, as I said before, was that, by all accounts, Benchmark seems actively to promote the use of their amp in bridged form. Why else would they send pairs of them out t... | |
| Integrated Amp to match with Magico A3 Luxman L-509x. | |
| Best wood under audio components? There were lots of Himalayan salt lamps in exhibitors' rooms at CAF. Was it just for atmosphere, or do they know something we don't know?(Synergistic Research, look out!) | |
| Rotel RCD-1570 cd player + RC-1572 Preamp Honestly, there's likely to be little difference. I've got to imagine the DAC in the integrated is similar to the DAC in the CD player. If that's the case, then it comes down to connections and cables. In an ideal world you'd have both balanced... | |
| Starting a second system The Fritz Carrera's were beautifully driven by 8 watts at CAF, so that Rogers integrated should work very well indeed. | |
| Dynaudio C20 vs other monitors in the 4-7k range And the Fritz Carrera 3 Be. See numerous comments in other recent threads. | |
| Paradigm Persona series The 40.2's sounded very, very good with CJ preamp and amp at CAF.The Vinnie Rossi preamp+monoblock combo is by all accounts very good (and should be, at its price), so I'm sure this is right. | |
| One speaker observation from the New York Hifi show. Almost without exception, if you pull the speakers further out, you'll get a greater depth of soundstage.(And for me that's important--I like speakers where the front plane of the soundstage is at or even a little behind the drivers, and where the... |
