| Is D for Dry? Class D... ricevs,Thanks for posting the hometheaterhifi review of the IV7. His reference amps are the BAT and Pass, which are euphonic. All the musical and movie examples he cites show more clarity/detail from the IV7 than from his reference amps. At the... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... tweak1,As I understood your earlier post, the WW optical cable seemed to be the factor rounding off the original "hot" sound of the EVS1200. Which cable produced the "hot" sound?As you know, my limited experience of GaN with the Merrill Element 1... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... dougeyjones,Around 1995, I experimented with various mike preamps using a few SS condenser mikes. I made a 1 min recording of my violin part in the opening of the Mendelssohn violin concerto for each combination. I tried to standardize my playin... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... zephyr24069,Thanks for being totally honest. My audio experience started as a child 66 years ago as a 2 year old child. The classical music radio station was playing all the time. Audio was my first understood language, since I said my first En... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... Thanks tweak1 for your informative post. You prefer a little roundness in sound obtained from the WW optical cable. With the other cable, you described the EVS1200 as sounding "a bit hot" which is music to my ears. If its soundstage was not as ... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... zephyr24069,Thanks for sharing your experience. I am about to order the Rouge Audio Studio N-10DM which is very similar to your Legacy IV, according to ricevs. Look at his site, tweakaudio.com, with its link to Rouge. Due to break in, I might e... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... zephyr24069,How do you describe the tonality of your Legacy IV4 Ultra? I want neutrality and HF extension, and no euphonic warmth. Ric of tweak audio.com describes the Rouge Audio N-10DM as similar to the Legacy IV series. I emailed Francesco o... | |
| Garth Powell on Why Audioquest does not make AC Regenerators kingbarbuda,Can you describe the differences in sound quality between the AQ Niagara 5000 and PSA Power Plant 20? On the video, Garth mainly talks about the superior power delivery from AQ vs AC regenerator. But Mike Fremer a few months ago in S... | |
| Power regenerator vs conditioner rbyington711,I also am fascinated by Mike Fremer's story. He said that the P20 + P15 restored his sound to the AQ 7000 level before the generator switch messed things up, but he implies that the P20 + P15 is no better than AQ. He hasn't decided ... | |
| Tekton speakers with Ribbon / AMT ?? As ricevs said, use of Be may be more critical for very HF. But since Be has advantages of high rigidity with low mass, it probably would let the midrange sound more accurate as well as HF. Since midrange is the most critical for musical authentic... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions jsoku,All of us have some HF hearing loss due to aging, noise exposure, etc. Most don't realize it. Forgive me, I am a little confused about what Eric said about the difference between the Encore and Moab. "He described the Encores having a ful... | |
| New Turntable Direction My taste in sound is crystal clear, detailed and lean. I hate bass bloat and fullness, which are usually associated with impaired clarity in the entire freq spectrum. My Linn Valhalla with Alphason HR100S titanium tonearm, Denon 305 cartridge ga... | |
| M900U vs the world As I said, few amps hold their value, or anything close to it. Grey9hound is correct--"None of the mega buck amps will hold their value , because they are all overpriced to begin with." | |
| Just received my new Luxman CL-1000 pre-amp. The sound quality is everything. Not much effort to get up from your chair to adjust volume manually. Often you know the setting on the vol control for each recording, so you could just keep the vol control set and merely turn the power amp on/o... | |
| Benchmark ABH2 compared to Merrill Element Series and other ultra high end amps soundhound, Yes, I agree. As a violinist, I enjoy the sound under my ear and a few feet away playing string quartets, and playing in the orchestra. Unfortunately, as a concertgoer sitting even in the 1st row center, my perceptions have been grea... |
