| CARDAS Fans: Golden vs. Neutral vs. Presence? One thing about the GR is according to the specs the capacitance is relatively very low. Most cable companies provide this spec for their ICs. I assume the lower the capacitance the more neutral it is. Of course like everything else the measuremen... | |
| The use of equipment as "tone controls" Eweedhome, I'm using an MC402. I had planned to buy a pre-amp - either a c45 or a c2x00 for the tone controls. I'm holding off right now or I should say I'm in no hurry. I don't exactly have room for it on my rack and the mc402 is sounding fine. A... | |
| The use of equipment as "tone controls" IME, I found that the amp made more difference than anything. Speakers put a particular spin on the sound but for musicality and brightness the amp held sway. Speaker placement, room acoustics, power source did not make much difference in my sytem... | |
| The use of equipment as "tone controls" For instance, I once heard a very beautiful sounding system that was absolutely wonderful. Some recordings sounded as if the performers were in the room, but they were all great. Then I realized that everything sounded not only good, but practical... | |
| Should 'a' been a contender I think the various incarnations of Dunleavy's speakers should have done better but the cabinets weren't visually appealing. | |
| Power conditioner or not? Audiofeil is curmudgeonly but he's been in the business forever and as such has pretty much reached the point that he doesn't suffer fools gladly. He knows what he's talking about. | |
| What is the story with Rega Appolo? All the Rega players have had good reviews over the years. They experience backlash because of that. Look at any popular brand, McIntosh, Krell and you'll find plenty of negative reviews. Read the professional reviews and you'll find across the bo... | |
| Break in period for albums.? If I sent down and listen to an album and just love it the first time I know I'll geat tired of it sooner. My all time faves are albums I liked just enough to listen to again.. and again until they became familiar. | |
| Does All in the Family = Synergy ? in Nordost? I think you want the best cables on the front end (ICs) where the voltages are much lower and RF interference or intermods are subject to amplification. | |
| Pictures, More Pictures The picture in the ad isn't all that good. I think you have to assume someone wanting more pictures is considering buying the product. | |
| Recording quality effect on listening pleasure ... I have more problems with newer stuff,say, stuff made in the last 10~15 years, both music and movies. | |
| McIntosh MA6600 voiced simular to MC402? I recently A-B'ed some 501s against the 6900 fully planning and expecting to buy a 7000 (dealer didn't have one to listen to). There was so much difference in the sound that I had to rule out the integrateds. Maybe the 7000 is there in sound but I... | |
| Golden Ear award for $55 speaker tweak Installing felt around the tweeter is old hat. It's a simple effective way to roll off the highs. I considered doing it on my Aerials when I had a Krell. | |
| CARDAS Fans: Golden vs. Neutral vs. Presence? I just went from Zu Gede ICs to Golden Reference. The improvement was quite noticeable across the spectrum. I'm using it with McIntosh and the Mc is nice and smooth to start with. I was originally planning to buy GC but my dealer talked me into GR... | |
| Cable suggestions requested Unfortunately I have to agree with dave_b. People will often say buy this or that brand and get equivalent sound quality for a fraction of the cost of well-known expensive brands. IME, you get what you pay for. I recently upgraded to Cardas Golden... |
