| Recommendations for a mat for the PS Audio PWT Don't use a mat, its a different kind of transport than what you're used to. PS Audio put a computer CD rom type of transport in the one you have. If I remember correctly, it reads multiple passes and then sends the signal to a buffer. So, you're ... | |
| Vandersteen 3 w/ARC d240 MKII I forgot to mention this in my last post. But do you have your 3's on stands? That's very important. | |
| Kef 104/2 or Vandersteen 2ci - vintage shoot-out Vandersteen is my favourite speaker, but I haven't heard the 2ci in a very long time. I've had Kef also, but not the Model you list. When you listen to the Vandersteen's keep in mind that setup is absolutely critical to get best results. Even thou... | |
| Higher resolution Jazz Sometimes I think older may be better because they didn't have enough technology to mess things up. CD is a good example. Its 16/44 uncompressed. If we had lossy digital compression at the time when CD was developed, Redbook CD would have probably... | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? "02-05-15: PsagSo far we've learned that Spectral is fast, MIT cables are slow and rolled off, and prices are too high. Anything else?"People say I can get really annoying, really fast. | |
| Shipping Heavy Speakers: Freight of FedEx "Went to UShip.com for a freight quote and the rate is the same as FedEx Ground ~$200.What method of shipping would you choose?"It really depends on what it is. If the speakers are rare or ultra expensive, or something else that makes it really ba... | |
| Finally "HiFi" streaming - comments on Tidal??? Why not just use Chrome? You didn't say, but I assume it doesn't work with Firefox either. | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? "02-05-15: Wolf_garciaFast, in this case, means how fast you bank account empties once you buy a Spectral item."That's always the case. That's what credit cards are for."'Fast' and 'slow' should not be confused with 'bright' and 'dull'; these are ... | |
| GNSC matinence "Where and who would you trust to repair/inspect the lens,internals etc...?"My ears. As long as it works, it stays in my listening room. But I didn't know that GNSC had their version of the 861se. Mine is all by Wadia. It has no after market mods.... | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? "02-05-15: Douglas_schroeder"Fast" means not so much unless you are speaking of a system."I'm not sure I understand, can you clarify? | |
| Why do my ears ring with my new amplifier? "I was grasping at straws to see if the system sounded better/worse with headphones; maybe more neutral by eliminating the room. A separate issue from the ringing I guess."Its certainly worth a try just to see what happens, but not only would you ... | |
| Classic rock: best remasters "01-27-15: PhasecorrectI find it oddly amusing there is a resurgence back to first generation CD releases...anybody remember the audiophile community response...in short...not good. Now granted, some of these are youngsters who grew up on MP3, nev... | |
| Floor Stander with Small Footprint 7K - 15K Maybe Audio Physic. | |
| Higher resolution Jazz Actually, you'll need to judge for yourself. Many people think old recordings still sound great, and even prefer them. | |
| Bi wiring v single run w jumpers "Someone on this site recommended running the bass speaker to the 8 ohm tap and the mids and highs to the 4 ohm tap. This made a bigger difference than running jumpers or bi-wiring in my set up."That is biwiring. In order to do what you just descr... |
