| Empirical Audio Overdrive vs AMR DP 777 Of course there are more affordable options ...I can't compare the two directly unfortunately. I can say the Overdrive is stunning however. I can't imagine buying one and regretting the decision in any way. | |
| Speaker cable suggestion for Pass Labs XA30.5 I'd second the suggestion to talk with Chris at BPT. I've heard everything he makes, and it's all very high on the price to performance ratio. Speed and transparency is how I would describe them. | |
| SubWoofer Help ASAP... Great answers so far, so nothing to add. Bascially your new room has a bass node right on top of your listening position. So it's just a matter of tweaking to even out the in room response by the methods laid out above. It takes time, but pays off... | |
| A change of speaker impedance; is it possible? Short answer - no it's not possible. Even if resistors didn't eat up power turning it into heat, possibly even catching fire if used how you suggest ... it's impossible to add a resistor in front of or after an existing network and not have it cha... | |
| Opinions on speakers I have a Breeze owner ($1300) pair who compared them very favorably to his Clair Audents. I think he posts as Wcheng, something like that ... maybe he'll see this thread. I have to admit, I do like the sound of the new Totem element series ... not... | |
| Is good customer service about dead? This is my last post on this topic. Paul, you were offered FULL refund and we made it clear that we have a buyer ready now. I always have a list of people wanting a pair immediately. We try to work with you in private, you misrepresent things in p... | |
| Is good customer service about dead? Dat1 and I had the same experience from the same company. Ty Lashbrook was awesome to deal with and have heard nothing but praise from Salk and Selah. Sorry for the late reply but some of you were engaged in the thread I was in that turned nasty a... | |
| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? You guys are amusing. So you bump up an 8 month old thread to cause problems? Why? How are you making the forum a better place by doing so? You talk of disclosure, how about each of you man up as I said before and say who you really are? You're ob... | |
| Perfect Wave II DAC alternatives? Hey John, I'd be happy to let you audition my BMC DAC1 at home for a week if you wanted. I've been serioiusly impressed with mine. It and the Overdrive SE would be my suggestions. | |
| Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...? Rose75 is obviously somebody posting under an alias, somebody who created another username to try and cast any negative light on my business as possible. I just have no idea why, because I have no idea who he is. Most of his posts in that 'other' ... | |
| BMC DAC Pre I'm using one paired with the BMC S1 amp, so my volume control is via the DIGM input ... not the built in attenuator. I think it's an exceptional piece, especially if using a BMC amp and the DIGM. However we did do a brief comparison to an Aesthet... | |
| Taking care of lacquer wood finishes Zaino definately is a superior product. It is a LOT more work to apply however if you go through the full process. So yes I'd agree, if you don't mind the extra work with Zaino, use it. | |
| Taking care of lacquer wood finishes Taking care of a clear coat finish starts with one thing first - clean surface and clean cloths. Most dust is nothing more than tiny little bits of ground up rocks, so of course if they're rubbed into your finish, they're going to leave swirl mark... | |
| Recommend DAC with optical outputs I can't think of any better DAC around $1000 than the Eastern Electric DAC Plus. It's also a small in size unit. Throw the Dexa discrete op-amps in there and you have a DAC that can compete at a MUCH higher price point. | |
| Vapor Breeze Hey Wcheng, in a standard config they go from order to shipped in 3-4 weeks, sometimes less. I've actually built Breeze in as little as 3 days, start to finish. Standard finishes are the usual Satin Cherry, Satin Maple, or Piano Gloss Black ... al... |
