| New Tekton Pendragons On The Way " I attribute that to it's 89db sensitivity whereas the Pendragons have a 95 db sensitivity. This should give me a much fuller sound at lower volume levels."I don't see why that would be true. You're not just buying more efficient speakers like th... | |
| Sierra 2 vs Dynaudio Focus 160 The easiest way to make a mistake, is to buy equipment using reviews and opinions only. You really should demo first. | |
| CD Spkr Set-Up ? "However, nothing beats simply listening to music to tweak things."You can do that? You have to admit, that does sound a little far fetched. You're kidding, right? | |
| The missing piece "What is a piece of equipment you added to your system and it made such a huge impact you knew you would never get rid of it?"Its not about 1 piece that fixes everything. System matching is the most important part of the system. You can have plent... | |
| Any thoughts on passive v. active speakers? "Zd, to say that engineering expertise and technical resources is irrelevant is an extreme statement.

| CD Sound ; Esoteric x-03 versus Oppo 105 "09-26-15: Ptssyes, it's a serious question."I was just kidding. The way you worded your question made me laugh. I know you were being serious. There's a pretty big difference between the 2."10 years difference.Is it unreasonable to think technolo... | |
| NOS DAC's without any digital filtering? I can't help but think that, back when NOS dacs were current production, audiophiles were not too happy with CD's sound quality. It just seemed like everyone wanted a new format. By comparison, it seems like audiophiles are much happier with Redbo... | |
