| SUT advice I like Jfrench's recommendation of EAR products very much. Their vinyl components are outstanding. | |
| Vibration I used to do it with my Wadia CD player. I imagine you are trying to get your components in between your speakers but you want them low so they don't interfere with imaging. If long as you use a good amp stand you should be OK. It really should be... | |
| New tubes biasing problems I agree with Viridian. Try the tube in a different socket and if the problem follows the tube, remove it. If it goes bad while the amp is on, you may do damage. I had the same amp. Its very easy to set bias and if you are getting the other 3 tubes... | |
| Sound card or not? "You definitely want to run digital out to a DAC or fully digital amplifier (my choice to bypass the D/A conversion, cables and separate DAC, preamp or amplifier)."I'm not sure if I understand what you are saying here. I don't see how you can bypa... | |
| How is this setup for Mog "Does a better laptop with faster processor or memory help me?"I don't think it does. Maybe if your PC is really lacking and is having trouble keeping up. People seem to be going with upgrades that make the computer more "quiet". SSD's, no fan, th... | |
| Is Cary Audio still selling CD Players? I didn't know that either. I've always felt Cary had the most underrated CD players on the market. | |
| Bookshelf or Tower "06-05-13: Mkash3Bob Reynolds, wouldn't a bookshelf speaker lose a bit of that 'fullness' that tower speakers provide? Or would monitors + sub pretty much create the same sound a floorstander would?"You're being way too general. There are so many ... | |
| New Speaker for Under 5K Didn't the OP say that he metal tweeters were out of the question? The only reason I bring it up is that most of the speakers recommended have metal tweeters. | |
| Sound card or not? If you already have the sound card, I don't see why you wouldn't want to use it. | |
| New Speaker for Under 5K I think you would like something by proac or martin logan (esl's) | |
| Are there any DACs that can go low? One thing to keep in mind is to make sure you have the same recording when you do a comparison. If one recording was a remaster and the other was not, that would explain a lot of the differences. | |
| Kevin gets the "I am not sure your motivations for this thread, but your implication that Kevin at Upscale Audio is not ethical needs some evidence to back that claim up. Otherwise, it is slander. Let's stay away from irresponsible accusations shall we?For the r... | |
| Musical fidelity Nu Vista M3 vs Ayre AX-7e I'm not really doubting anyones comments, but they're just all over the place. So many things contribute to the sound of an audio system it can be very difficult to sort out. Not only that, when you take something like imaging, every piece in the ... | |
| Shunyata Hydra Its really no big deal at all. The only reason I mentioned it as something other than a typo is that when you cut and paste, you usually miss words at the end and not in the middle. Its clear that you meant no offence, and to be honest, I shouldn'... | |
| Shunyata Hydra Jea48,This is what I said,"06-02-13: Zd542I don't think he was saying that all power cords and line conditioners don't work, it was just the Shunyata products."This is what you said I said,"I don't think he was saying that all power cords and line... |
