| What happened to my bass? I would also experiment with speaker placement. I know it a PITA to move them, but the rewards are.... rewarding. | |
| Stan Getz VOYAGE What I got out of it was there wasn't the details that kick the audiophlia in to the listening. I can listen to the recording and just enjoy the music instead of analyzingthe usual depth of soundstage, image positioning and the ring of the sax bel... | |
| Under $500 - Used CDP or DAC/Transport? I hope Emotiva has done a better job with the second CDP.I replaced the ERC-1 with the NAD C-565BEE and it is 10X better. | |
| Help with hum Try hooking the ground wire from the source to the amp. | |
| Help with hum Try hooking a ground wire from a screw in the back plate of the pre to a screw in the back plate of the amp.It should help out. | |
| Under $500 - Used CDP or DAC/Transport? For $569 shipped you can get a refurbished NAD C-565BEE here on AG and it is superb. Very involving and accurate. | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Individual taste and expectations have a lot to do with perception. I love the Lore, but I also respect others opinions on them also.If I had bought the Omen instead of the Lore, Chances are I'd be writing great things about Zu.The fact that we ca... | |
| Stan Getz VOYAGE I received the CD yesterday.It's a very sentual album. Very relaxing and well recorded.Not as close miked as some of Stans recordings, but it sounded just right to me.Thank you Frogman for bringing this album to my attention.It's a great addition ... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Maybe just on the payroll. | |
| Battery powered, high resolution capable DAC? The Ack Dac is battery powered. | |
| System versus live I don't think live can ever be achieved. I'm as close as I've ever been and still fall very short. I went with a FRD with no cross over in the 10 inch driver and it took me closer.My room is well treated and I've biased my Almarro amp a little hot... | |
| Stan Getz VOYAGE I just picked it up on CD. Thanks for the heads up. | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore I would say that they have a well balanced bass but not a kick in the chest bass. It's an audiophile type bass. Strong but not bloated. YMMV | |
| Anyone went back to using bare wires on speakers? Buconero, that's a great idea. In fact, I'm going to tin the ends of my cables with WBT 4% silver solder right now.Thanks for that tid bit. | |
| Anyone went back to using bare wires on speakers? I use bare wire at the amp and speaker. I feel it's best to not have termination. Nothing is more pure than the wire that you are using with nothing to interfere. I don't take my cables on and off much so the convenience of termination is not an i... |
