Creative Cabling for Bass Quality
Les3547,This is the exact issue I question... What is the originating signal and how do you know its not sounding exactly as the originating signal with or without a Monster cable, a Cardas, or "insert cable here" with each different piece of gear... 
Does anyone out there NOT hear a difference in CD
VelocityofhueHa, Funny thing is the 700 dollar rotel probably uses a 9 dollar transport and the 50 dollar panasonic probably uses a 8 dollar transport! Depends on your price range, but you want a really good universal machine to not break the bank... 
Creative Cabling for Bass Quality
I have a question for the Pros out there... Fact is a speaker cable is only 2 poles, each of which might be as important as the other.. Positive, feeding the speaker, and the Negative coming back from the speaker to the amp.. I suppose that the Sp... 
mo' better bass: any substitute for watts?
RjaI will one up you.. I have gone from a Class A solid state power up to a percentage then it would switch to clas A/B in Mono block which was 300 watt peak with VEry high damping factor to a 20 watt S.E.T. Class A amp and it stomped the crap out... 
How much longer will CDs be made?
PsacanliSony Blu Ray audio is already being used, and is just as you say, Neil young just did a deal to do all his stuff on blu ray hi res 2 channel audio already. It exists, I am shocked this is not well known already. It was only a few weeks ago... 
How much longer will CDs be made?
I think the point is being missed by a few on this thread, Digital is not dead at all.. So I am not sure who said that in this thread, As a matter of fact this thread is quite the opposite, Its advancing quite rapidly, it is, was, and will be the ... 
tube pre amp with tube / SS /hybrid power amp ?
Jmcgrogan2By the way I totally agree with you.. and have found that is a very conservative rating, hit or miss.. And only reason I said "Theoretically" was to tell the original poster exactly my point as to why people keep coming up with this 10x ... 
tube pre amp with tube / SS /hybrid power amp ?
Milen007, I am not sure what this 10x, stuff is about with damping factor above, but what most need to look at with matching a good TUBE to Solid stated device iE: Tube Pre to a SS AMP.. Is the Impedance factor... This would be better to have from... 
Coupling capacitors give warm & sweet sound
Jensen.. Had em' , okay but weak, a bit pulled back and soft... Mundorf silver oil is the only cap I would go with in this type if you want paper and oil, however they have very large bodys some space restictions and values will not work in some a... 
How much longer will CDs be made?
The point here is CDS will still be a means of software delivery.. But how will you play them back? People will start converting them more and more toward a small hard drive and put the discs away, wasting too much money on any optical drive at th... 
How much longer will CDs be made?
I mean I agree that putting anything near 1000 into CD, SACD, or DVD-A playback at this point is really a lost cause, and 5000 or 7000 is REALLY a terrible investment... You can get excellent if not 9 out of 10 Redbook sound these days from very l... 
Is my amp clipping?
Older Oppos do not have volume built in, so it depends on what oppo we are talking about here... 
Does anyone out there NOT hear a difference in CD
CD players, DAC's, etcÂ… Are not really always going to give you immdiate impression of hearing a big difference.. The only way to judge digital is more or less to listen for a more extended period of time to music you are fairly familure with, and... 
Emerald Physics CS-2, Opinions Please
Check the classifieds, wow.. Fad or Fact? This seems to be a pretty short lived model for most, I never heard them so I have no comments on that aspect of it. 
Are horns and hi-eff designs becoming more popular
Funny thing is you don't need to see them being popular, besides some bose, or jbl, polk speakers, Klipsch I am sure sells just as many pairs that would shock you in the #'s here and overseas... Marketing is not as needed as you think. They have a...
