| Are there really a bad misfits in the hifijungle out there Output impedance and input impedance of preamps and amps: need to be simpatico, or bad things happen. | |
| Looking for a warm sweet speaker @mckinneymike I recently had an opportunity to audition the D7's and the Classic 100's in the same room with same equipment. To my ears and for my tastes, the Classic 100's were significantly superior. Perhaps a warmer, more "old-fashioned" sou... | |
| Recommendations for CD Player/DAC Combo @tyan42 I think there are more than you mention. Nuprime and Denon certainly within your new price bracket, and Bryston, Hegel, and Primare just a little over it. And that's without any research. | |
| narrow and wide baffles and imaging Here's an interesting design.http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/PMS.htm Notice that there's no attempt to take advantage of what could be the total internal volume; the enclosure remains a box, and the front and rear baffles, as far as I can see, don't ... | |
| I just inherited 800-1000 CD's and a lot of them are filthy Microfiber is absolutely the way to go. Avoid paper towels, tee-shirts, tea towels, cotton, linen, etc. I learnt the hard way with previous pairs of spectacles. A couple of large microfiber cloths are inexpensive, they dry easily, and they are ... | |
| Wireworld Very happy with my Equinox 7's--I needed quite long runs to the speakers, and they proved affordable (relatively speaking). | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? @spindrifterr Hang on to them, whatever you do!! Rare, and the timbral presentation on more modern Proacs has changed. | |
| narrow and wide baffles and imaging What can people tell me about Troels Gravesen? | |
| Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday! Does anyone remember the original Bright Star Little Rock? I think I still have one somewhere. The are VPI bricks more effective? | |
| narrow and wide baffles and imaging @kosst_amojan OK, I'll bite. By imaging I understand individual sound sources (voice, instrument) being well defined and easily localizable within the overall sound stage. Ideally, the listener should be able to map, more or less precisely, whe... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? I heard the AN-E's and O/93's the same day, albeit in different environments. In terms of sheer purity of timbre, I'd definitely give it to the Audio Notes. | |
| Hegel H360 or H590 or Constellation Inspiration Integrated 1.0 for Magico A3 What happened to discussion of the Constellation?More generally, I'm kinda surprised there isn't more discussion on this forum of brands like Constellation, CH Precision, Soulution, etc. | |
| Sound stage height?? When your system starts to tell you how the engineer positioned the mikes and what kind of mix he applied to the feed, you know you're getting there with refining your system.Listening to classical piano music a lot, I notice this constantly. Wha... | |
| narrow and wide baffles and imaging So what about the SF Elipsa series, which if memory serves is a good deal wider than any other SF models? Did SF ever provide a rationale for why they did the Elipsa's that way?@prof Exactly! That's precisely what struck me--and impressed me--a... | |
| Is there actually a difference? Partly depends on the interaction of the amp and the loudspeaker connected, and their electrical characteristics. A given amp can sound bad on one speaker and much better on another. But yes, agree with @shadorne, not a huge difference between c... |
