| Transparent speaker cable for Spectral DMA180 I can't help but think, why get involved with all this special equipment that if you don't use just the right cables, you'll blow the amp up? I have nothing against either Spectral or MIT, but they don't have the market cornered on good sound. I d... | |
| SACD... can you hear the difference? The best sound quality with vinyl is when the recording and playback is all analog. If you have a modern digital recording on vinyl, it sounds like better digital, but not as good as an all analog recording. At least to me. | |
| Best products for baffle material s ? "09-10-14: PtssHow about 3/4 or 1&1/2 inch black granite countertop green glued onto 3 inches thickness of MDF? Very non-resonant?"Corian would probably still be the better choice. It has the consistency of mdf but is solid like granite. You w... | |
| Assistance Needed - Water Damage to Vinyl Depending on what happened, the records themselves may not be damaged. If they just got wet and you were able to dry them off, there probably isn't any damage to them. The sleeves and packaging, of course, will probably be destroyed. I'm bringing ... | |
| Sony ES vs Rotel Rotel is not a Japanese brand that I know of unless they were bought out recently. They are based and designed in the UK and made in Taiwan, or maybe China. I forget. Of the 2 brands, I prefer Rotel, but there have been some very nice Sony ES comp... | |
| solid state integrateds that will hold their value "Speaking for myself as an audiophile with 24 years experience, I can tell you I bought all my current gear eyes wide open."And your wallet, I bet. | |
| solid state integrateds that will hold their value "09-10-14: Melbguy1Atmasphere, unless you're talking about niche brands like Audio Note and Kondo, I can't agree with your statement. For a range of reasons SS integrated amps are deemed more reliable, and therefore a lower riskproposition."Atmasp... | |
| Budget Pre with 2outputs, rectifier tube and..... I don't know if buying a preamp based tube rectification as a main quality is a good idea. Most, if not all modern tube gear uses solid state to rectify. You may have to go vintage to find something. | |
| Correct method of hooking up Sonus Faber speakers? Just go with the way that sounds better. It won't hurt anything. A set of quality jumper cables would probably be a good investment. If you call The Cable Company they should have some several options. Also, a good local dealer may make some up fo... | |
| Headphones and Hearing Loss Why not get custom fit, inner ear headphones? | |
| Best CD transport? Here's a few I like. Wadia 270, Oracle and dcs. | |
| SACD... can you hear the difference? "as for CD, I am a bit confused as to why some of my CD's deliver great sound and others do not. I should not say some sound better, but for reasons unknown some put out more powerful sound than others. I always thought CD was CD and should be no ... | |
| Quiet Amp Cooling Fan What makes you think you need one? I looked at your system and it appears you have enough space between the components for them to cool normally. If you still need something Corsair makes very quiet cooling fans. | |
| FM tuner problem Maybe its a setup issue. For example, you may have the radio sent through HDMI when it should be going somewhere else. | |
| SACD... can you hear the difference? "09-07-14: StringreenZD....as I said in my original post, the way the recording is produced has a marked effect on the sound."I get that and agree 100%. I was just curious if you took the same exact recording on CD and SACD, and compared them to D... |
