| Ayre C-5xe mp vs PS Audio Digital Link III You always need to compare devices at the same level of loudness. The DL III obviously has a higher output level than the Ayre, but it doesn't mean it has better or worse sound because of that. Just a stronger output signal coming out of its outpu... | |
| Ayre C-5xe mp vs PS Audio Digital Link III I can't find any info on the signal strength of its output (no specification section in their manual), but if it is louder then it has to be higher than the Ayre's:2.05 V rms unbalanced outputs4.10 V rms balanced outputs (PCM)1.00 V rms unba... | |
| VPI 300 RPM vs 600 RPM Better? I've got my motor pod sitting on top of this EAR product:http://www.allsealsinc.com/1b.htmlIt has dampening foam seated in between 2 aluminum plates. Very hard and stable and still has some dampening and isolation properties. | |

| Aesthetix Rhea? I guess the real question now is how does the Rhea (reg or dig) compare to the new Manley Chinook? | |
| Optimizing TNT, Triplanar, Transfiguration Temper Comparisons to your old Temper ... ?or has it just been too long ago to remember | |
| What's next after Dynavector 20XL? Transfiguration AxiaIt retains the warmth and character of the Dynavector but adds that extra bit of dimension, texture and detail that comes from a better cartridge. When moving from the 20X to a XX2 you will gain detail but lose a bit of that wa... | |
| Replacing Power Cord On Flat Screen TV I kept my TV's powercord, since it seemed to be a reasonable gauge, but I did add a 10A Felix power conditioner in front of it. Now that was an immediate and obvious improvement at a very low cost. You can find more about the DIY Felix over at Aud... | |
| Resistor to tone down tweeter? I agree. You should try treating first reflection points or perhaps addressing what is in between the speakers before messing with the crossover.That being said, there is usually a resistor on the + leg of the tweeter. To tone it down more you cou... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s vs. Transfiguration Temper w I agree. The XV1s and XV1t are not slow. In fact, I would hardly call anything at that price point slow, not even the upper end Koetsu's.However, when you hit these points it is more a matter of balance and flavor within your system. To me, the XV... | |
| VPI SDS speed issue Have you checked the consistency of your voltage from the wall? Does it vary a lot?You may find plugging the SDS into a power conditioner helps stabilize it. | |
| Dynavector XV-1s vs. Transfiguration Temper w BTW - there was another poster on this forum who recently replaced a Temper with the Phoenix (since you can no longer get an Orpheus). I believe he was saying that the new Phoenix bested his older Temper in some regards. Perhaps he will chime in h... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s vs. Transfiguration Temper w Heard the XV-1t vs a Transfiguration Orpheus on the same table (different arms though).The DV was extremely accurate, to the point that if you put on a bad album it sounded truly bad.The Orpheus was warmer with more bottom end. It was far more mus... | |
| Dynavector XV-1S ---is it overkill for my system? Heard a DV XV1-t vs a Transfiguration Orpheus last week on the same tt (different arms though). In general, the DV was accurate, but the Transfiguration was more musical. The Orpheus had more of a bottem end that just fleshed things out better and... |
