| resolution and imaging "accuracy of timbre is much more significant as a cue to recognizing realism in musical reproduction than any other factor." If I understand the point of Sns...with a increase of imaging and resolution come accuracy of timbre and other things. Atl... | |
| resolution and imaging Newbee said...."Now I'm sure that if I was on the podium I would hear it differently." Interesting....In the recording were hearing what the mic gathers....so the info must be there...I would think. Now the issue is can the electronics and speaker... | |
| resolution and imaging Sns...seems like your endeavers into tweaking equipment with capacitor voicing has paid dividends. I too have become a beleiver in capacitor performance making a impact on lower THD leading to sonic improvement. The most significant gains have bee... | |

| resolution and imaging Imaging,resolution,transparency at the highest level go hand in hand. In my experience the amplifier has a lot to do with all three. Not to leave out the speakers either. This is what makes me continue to upgrade my system. I look at it this way..... | |
| Black gate "N" & "NX" series how long to breakin Paul I have 500 hours on my amp now....the difference is mind blowing. Every aspect of performance is multiple magnitudes better....incredidle tonal realism,air,3d holographic imagining ect,ect.I can't explain the lack of demand for these caps....... | |
| used vs "Giant Killer" I came across this thread....Classic is great if it's been well cared for. I have some Accuphase gear that I bought new and one preamp that I purchased here on gon. All of it has been gone through by my cracker jack tech and it sounds stunning. Lo... | |
| Reclaim sound from the past? Probably the speakers...amps...and the room. The good news is unless the room has real problems you can get close or better. I think the amplifier can make so much difference..but I think you experienced a synergy. The speakers are next....I'm luc... | |
| What the benifit of using a separate dac? Why mod?? I think it only makes sense when you have a well made and properly designed circuit where the manufacturer used sufficent components. Impovement can be made substituting better sonic quality components. Of course this is a topic with all... | |
| What the benifit of using a separate dac? I purchased a Sony ES player back in the 80's....done good player. But I got back into Hi End about a year ago. I felt that there had to be improvements made...so I wanted to keep my Sony 707 as a transport...A stand alone DAC was next on the list... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil The best place to seek advice on the Fisher is the AudioKarma website. There's a army of Fisher freaks on there. | |
| Speaker cable upgrade Like somebody said check the classifieds....there's a 10ft pair of NBS pro's that are reasonable 1k+....no brainer as they are great sounding and you can always upgrade them. | |
| List : Components with high dynamics Mapman....if you keep yours eyes open there are extreme deals on the larger VAC Ren series....I don't think people want to spend the money to retube these amps....but take it from me their foolish not too....but somebody else's good fortune. | |
| Supernait - Are my ears kidding me? I don't know the equipment but your new amp may have a lot lower actual distortion level than the Marantz....so you are hearing the benifits...soundstage and perceived power gain. it's probably a combination of higher output and the lower THD. | |
| Speaker cable upgrade No.....period....for that much money you can get good sp/cables and 2 pairs of IC's. Try the IC's first then go from there. |
