| North Creek B&W 801 crossovers? Tried them? PS, Tahoe, did you ever get the XOs, and what was the result? Thanks | |
| North Creek B&W 801 crossovers? Tried them? I realize this is an old thread, so I hope the knowledgeable parties will continue to weigh in. I'm confused about the application of the NC external crossovers to the 801-3s, especially as regards the exchange between Tab and Ken about "changing ... | |
| Ascendo M speakers Thanks for all the comments. I probably should not have limited the topic to one model of Ascendo. If anyone has comments about the other Ascendo speakers, please chime in, especially if you've compared them with each other.My understanding is tha... | |
| Black Gate Cap upgrade on Museatex Bitstream DAC email me for contact info for Moray James. | |
| Black Gate Cap upgrade on Museatex Bitstream DAC I can second Lush's comment about Moray James' digital cable between the Meitner transport and DAC. It was like night and day. I couldn't really hear the complete benefit of the DAC+upgrades until I got the cable. | |
| CAT SL-1 Ultim. Mk2 vs Manley Steel. for CAT JL-2 John, Thanks hugely. That was a very helpful explanation. I'm saving it to my hard drive! In fairness to the original poster of this thread, I am continuing the discussion of the relative merits of different CAT amps in a new thread. Please check ... | |
| CAT SL-1 Ultim. Mk2 vs Manley Steel. for CAT JL-2 Oops. Brian of EssentialAudio, in my previous post, please excuse the entirely accidental misspelling of your name as "Brain". HA! | |
| CAT SL-1 Ultim. Mk2 vs Manley Steel. for CAT JL-2 Brain and Jafox,Thank you both for the clarifications. Could either of you characterise the sonic differences, including any potential advantages or disadvantages, between a JL-2 and a regular JL-3? I've never seen a dealer that had both in stock ... | |
| CAT SL-1 Ultim. Mk2 vs Manley Steel. for CAT JL-2 Jafox,Would you tell us which version of the JL-3s you have and how you chose between them? There is "JL-3hc" (300 wpc/$10K retail) and JL-3 Signature (200wpc,$30K retail). I'm wondering if you are familiar with the performance differences between... | |
| Black Gate Cap upgrade on Museatex Bitstream DAC "Ubglub, I know John personally, and own a modified Museatex Transport, he already built the DAC with upgrades last year, but a cap went, I sent it back to him and he put in Black Gate caps I was curious if anybody heard a difference just from the... | |
| Black Gate Cap upgrade on Museatex Bitstream DAC I had my Museatex Bidat DAC upgraded by John Wright, a former associate of the Museatex founder Ed Meitner. Most of the work was done on the analog end of the DAC, and it was a big improvement. I believe he put in black gate caps, but I can't reca... | |
| Too much bass I had problem once with overwhelming bass after I had a component modified, so of course I attributed it to the equipment mod. However, it was easily corrected by pulling the speakers just a few inches further from the back wall. | |
| Which preamp to buy? For what its worth, I paired an earlier CJ preamp, the PV-10, with an Aragon 4004 SS amp about 10 years ago when I bought my present system, after hours of A/B tests with tube and SS amplification at the dealer. The Aragon amp is a lesser-powered ... | |
| The Night Air I think the sound of my audio set up improved when I added a humidifier to the forced air HVAC system, used during the heating season of course. This was before I was aware of tweaks, and it took me by surprise. And no, I have NOT determined the o... | |
| Philadelphia area audio club? Hello. I live in Center City. I'm trying to become more knowledgeable about audio in order to keep improving my system. I have had lots of good results having equipment modified by a local audio technician, but I'm clueless when it comes to select... |
