| I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why. While I agree that tone controls and equalizers do have often degrading effect on overall sound (I am not talking about frequency balance), some recordings will benefit from such treatment. One way to accomplish this to some extent, is using an ac... | |
| My music sounds brighter @handymann There is no particular treatment available but there are some methods to control it, you can check them out at American Tinnitus Association. There is also Hyperacusis Network for more info in case you have hyperacusis. The old treatmen... | |
| My music sounds brighter I had the same experience I had similar experience. I don’t know your age but I am 71 years old. I developed tinnitus a few years ago and on further research, I discovered that I have developed a condition called hyperacusis, seen often with tinni... | |
| Do you trust Audiogon? I do trust Audiogon, they have been fair and prompt. Checking with Audiogon before a large transaction is a good idea. Tammy responds to emails expeditiously. | |
| Value of burn/break in? When I bought Cary Audio SLP 05 preamp, it sounded horrible out of the box. Billy Wright of Cary Audio told me to leave the preamp on with amps off and play something like a radio through the preamp continuously for 50-75 hours (Friday through Sun... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream with Bridge II or Aurender N100H Hi traudio,Have you had any more problems with the bridge 2? I have reasonably good internet but my bridge disconnects very frequently. I sent it back to PS Audio and they sent me a new one but problem has not resolved. I don’t have any problem li... | |
| Soundstage moving forwards These are custom built, transmission line design with Cabasse 7” drivers for upper bass/lower midrange and sealed box with Acuton midrange and tweeters. They are in d’Appolito configurations with total of 5 drivers each side with single tweeter in... | |
| Soundstage moving forwards I have tri-amped system with pair of old YBA amplifiers, esp. one driving upper bass/lower midrange (70-700 hz) is the Signature amp with hefty power supply but rated 140 watts at 8 ohms. The range above that driven by YBA 2 delta rated 140 watts... | |
| Soundstage moving forwards Makes sense, thanks. | |
| MQA•Foolish New Algorithm? Vote! No, it is going to die just like HDCD and others. Long live MP3 (ha!) as most of the public is tin eared. | |
| Please help me chose a tube preamp I had YBA 1 delta, which had “tubey” sound but more uniform response through the frequencies. Cary is a magnitude better in all respects. I paid about $6000 for YBA about 12 years ago, so, not a cheap unit.you will be amazed sound of Cary but make... | |
| Basis Turntables: Worth it or Ripoff? I have had Basis Gold Debut for 20+ years, never had any troubles, replaced motor once as upgrade about 10 years ago. Very stable and great sound! Are they worth the money? Definite yes. | |
| Please help me chose a tube preamp I bought Cary Audio SLP 05 preamp with upgrade about 4 months ago, that cost me just below $9000. When I turned it on, I was terribly disappointed but Mr. Bill Wright assured me that it will change after 100 hours. He suggested I leave preamp only... | |
| Bi-amping with DEQX active crossover It sounds like you are not getting rid of the built in crossover, just providing some controllable external crossover point and manipulate equalization. I am not sure it will improve sound unless you think the current speakers sound very bad. Prob... | |
| Spotify vs. Apple Music vs. Google Play vs. Tidal: Which is Best I had both Tidal and Spotify for about 3-4 weeks and I noticed that Tidal sounded a little smoother on remastered/old recordings and no difference with newer digital recordings. Spotify seemed easier to manage but I am sure, with time and practice... |
