| Should I Get a DAC ? Thanks, Grannyring. My thoughts were to address the issue of jitter--probably through Empirical Audio--rather than cable solutions which mask the issue. Very glad for your reinforcement. | |
| Should I Get a DAC ? Cool! Wish I had your power. Yes, I'd try the soft dome tweeter, too. | |
| Should I Get a DAC ? Forgot to mention Steve's BNC cable with RCA adaptors between transport and pre pro also helped a lot ($250 plus ship). But have no other high end cable with which to compare. I have Audioquest Diamondback between pre pro and amp and would like to... | |
| Should I Get a DAC ? Thank you, Lowrider57. Your "coming out" helps me. I have never been diagnosed with Hyperacusis, which I will research, but I am a diagnosed gifted dyslexic with hypersensitivity in vision and hearing.I agree that SS is not necessarily the problem... | |
| Should I Get a DAC ? I'm glad to hear that someone besides me has an issue with high frequencies. Didn't mean it quite like that--not glad you have hearing issues. Gotta have my ear plugs and sunglasses. Music hurts sometimes. Certainly cables can help, but can they e... | |
| Cat-O-meter My cats like Nora Jones. So do I. But come on...You might be on to something there. I got Telarc Chiller as a gift but I can't play it. It's cruelty to kitties. | |
| Review: Harman Kardon HK990 Amplifier I haven't heard the Marantz PM 15S2. I like Marantz generally. What bothers me is that Stereophile states the S/N line level of the Limited Edition as -89db which seems like a dark ages spec to me. Stereophile states the hk990 line level as -109db... | |

| Has education expanded your listening tastes? "How I hate it, this knowledge which forces even art to join it."..Thomas Mann. Sorry. Couldn't resist. It's the rebel in me. | |
| Has education expanded your listening tastes? Frogman nailed it--articulated it with excellence. In my youth, I started down the road of music appreciation and found it unsatifying. I was afraid I'd get lost in the intellectual, cognitive element from what really moves me. Further I have a su... | |
| Has education expanded your listening tastes? Like Rok2id and Schubert's comments best--suspcious of music that has to be explained, and only I know who I want to call.Some truth in all of the above posts, but there might be a fine distinction between music appreciation and what one really re... | |
| subwoofer Bass in Systems I was never happy with subs until I got an amp with bass management. Now I'm a big fan of subs which as one member put it liberate the higher range. Fidelity is better in the upper range plus lower range is full. No downside. | |
| Has education expanded your listening tastes? I was going to add that the above posts approach music with an intellectual curiosity that I don't have for music. My intellectual curiosity is directed toward the science of audio. I will abandon Vivaldi for a good 2/4 time and Bach for a Hammond... | |
| Has education expanded your listening tastes? Who could argue with any of the above-all marvelous and cogent thoughts? Yes, music is said to be the most emotive of the arts--amen, Martin Luther.I think of a music genre like a skeletal structure of a house inside which are infinite possiblitie... |
