| Counter weights on your turntable...another dirty little secret? Exactly, ghdprentice - support local dealers who are invested in customer service rather than pile 'em high, sell 'em cheap online vendors. | |
| Simplest Linear PSU? @OP Being smaller, generally, SMD components are actually more "discreet":)) Both SMD and through hole devices can be "discrete". | |
| Break In Failed Just install them and listen to them. You'll get multiple upgrades for free as they run in :)) | |
| New Western Electric 91E 300B Tube Integrated Amp REVIEW ! SET 300B amps all measure dreadfully. But I must say that I was hoping for more from the WE amplifier. However, I applaud the company's plan to expand the range of valves (as we say over here) that they plan to produce. | |
| Wilson Sasha W/P amplifier pairing @op. I'm familiar with the preamp. As regards being ready for tubes, the Sasha W/P is a very demanding in terms of its' modulus of impedance. Do try to audition a quality class A transistor amplifier and a comparably priced tube amp with your lo... | |
| Digital is far better than vinyl I think the OP is being satirical - at least I hope s/he is. Aside from the satire., early digital was dreadful. A quality modest turntable such as a Rega Planar 3 was manifestly superior back in the mid eighties when CD was launched. Today, the... | |
| Wilson Sasha W/P amplifier pairing Try a pair of Pass 60.8 - unless your room is large and/or you listen at high volumes. You have the option then to put the money saved over the 100.8s into a better preamp. | |
| Cartridges A good cartridge will improve all your records. So if you have lots of records, the answer is obvious. | |
| What exactly is a speaker box sound? @kenjit - summed up precisely. End of conversation! | |
| Sound is better when I stand up? In addition to your chair, your ceiling height is very low. You could need some treatment on the ceiling. Possibly standing up, you are eliminating some reflections that are apparent when you sit down. | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System Wilson loudspeakers should not be excessively toed in. The higher resolution the system, the more potential there is to destroy its sound with bad setup. Knowing the sound quality of the individual components involved, that system has the potenti... | |
| Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps Harmonic distortion. "Golden age" studio outboard has made a major comeback in the post digital era as engineers try to put back what they lost from analogue tape in terms of distortion.. Its way more complex than that but, and forgive the genera... | |
| Are advances in technology making speakers better? @op - you would be far better off spending the price difference on upgrading the rest of your signal chain than going from D3 to D4 B&Ws. If you are thinking about Magico, you should also listen to Wilson and Borresen for further points of co... | |
| Best sounding CD player The Esoteric K01 XD is a superb player. Sound wise, it simply sounds more natural than anything else I've heard from standalone players. I get the impression that Esoteric doesn't have as much market presence in the US as it has in Europe and Asia. | |
| Are advances in technology making speakers better? If one likes the quite processed sound quality of B&W speakers, their various design iterations have been getting better. If one doesn't, they've been getting worse. Better spanners don't necessarily make a better mechanic. |
