| Neat Momentum SX5i or Rega RX5 Like a couple of posters above, I would go for the Neat, although they are extremely detailed and can be viewed as a little on the "clinical" side.However, matching them with the right speaker cables will pay huge dividends in SQ ans smoothness.Ha... | |
| Best Cable Match for: Naim Nait 5i + Naim CD3.5 + Vandersteen 2C's? JBS - Nice choice on the 5i - I have the Naim 5i (italics) and I am using KLE Innovations gzero6 speaker cables.I had their gZero2's to start with but migrated those to the AV system when I got the gZero6's. The 6's have better bass control and im... | |

| Bob Burwen imparts his knowledge clearthink... " Coloration is a deviation from a desired response. " I would go even further... " Coloration is a deviation from what was recorded." So how does one know exactly what the original track "should" sound like - since the sound engi... | |
| Bob Burwen imparts his knowledge Cdwallace3,...Equalization is used to tailor signal colorationMy understanding of equalizers - they allow you to augment or boost one or more of a defined set of frequency ranges. Whereas coloration can be a far more complex and intricate scenar... | |
| Bob Burwen imparts his knowledge Did anyone understand what he meant by "Frequency Response"?Is it simply having a FR from 20-20k? (or greater)Or does it also include the the actual "shape" of the waveform? Which I consider another aspect of frequency "response"What do I mean? - ... | |

| I could use some help with a "mystery" humm crazyeddie - I prefer to use ground on the mains outlet, but If there is a differential between the mains outlet ground pin and the water line - you have a more serious mains problem that should be rectified. | |
| I could use some help with a "mystery" humm Crazyeddie - A few years back I experienced a hum when I connected a component that utilized a two pin plug.When used with my amp, which which had a three pin plug, a loud hum was present.I disconnected the component and powered it up without conn... | |
| Streaming Tidal through Bluesound Node 2 vs Oppo 105D Since the Yggy is $2300 - it really should sound better.Comparing it to something in a similar "snack bracket" - I found my Schiit Bifrost, with the 4490 upgrade, was not as good as the Node 2, which provided much better imaging and reproduction o... |
