| JM Labs Electra 946 lack of high-end detail Sounds to me like there is a problem with your Electras. My 946s have a very detailed midrange and treble. Infact I have even heard complaints about the Electras being too detailed and bright sounding. I find my 946 Electras to sound neutral altho... | |
| Audioprism CD Blacklight mat? Thanks for the response. Another thing I was also concerned about is whether adding a CD mat would shorten the life of the transport motor due to spinning extra weight. This would kind of be like spinning two CDs at a time instead of one. | |
| New Direction-JM Lab Diva, Revel Studio or Sophia? Excellent choice. | |
| New Direction-JM Lab Diva, Revel Studio or Sophia? I have not heard the Revel or Sophias but am familiar with the sound of other Wilson speakers but I have to agree with Aball's comments above. I also own JM Lab speakers and am quite familiar with and have heard most of their models. They do provi... | |
| Which Threshold s are best? I own an original S350e. Pretty much all Threshold amps are great sounding especially the S and SA series, last of the Nelson Pass designs. I would assume that the new Chinese reissue of the S350e should sound as good as the originals if the same ... | |
| Threshold S/500 II power cord suggestions? I am using a magic cord power cable from Signal Cable on my Threshold S350e with good results. Inexpensive and maybe worth a try. | |
| B&W or JM labs Yeah the B&Ws do need a lot of power but funny thing is I HAVE heard the B&W Nau 801s driven by the McIntosh 1200 watt monos and was still not terribly impressed with their performance but I guess it all boils down to personal preference. | |
| Threshold amps I have one of the original S350e power amps and it is a great amp. Not sure about the new Chinese reissue. I guess if they use the same original componens it should be as good as the original although having it now made in China seems to be cheape... | |
| JM Labs 927 Be vs Sonus Faber GPH also the 937BE I am not familiar with Sonus Faber speakers BUT am very familiar with JM Lab and currently own a pair of 946 Electras and have heard pretty much the whole JM Lab line. I find the 946 Electras to be a well balanced, full sounding speaker without be... | |
| B&W or JM labs I personaly prefer JM Lab speakers over B&W and own a pair of JM Lab 946 Electras. I would say the B&W Nau. D series are the best of the bunch so far BUT still believe the JM Lab to be better. I find the B&W tend to draw attention to t... | |
| Threshold SA/3 to Pass Labs X250 comparison? Please post your comments on the sonic differences between the Threshold and Pass Lab amps because I am also an owner of a Threshold S350e and was thinking of a Pass Lab upgrade as well. | |
| XLR or Rca's for Bryston 4B ST/BP 25 Pre I was also using AQ Quartz RCA interconnects between my Threshold amp and preamp for many years. Last year I decided to try balanced XLR cables and ordered the Signal Cable Silver Resolution cables. What a difference from the RCA AQ Quartz. The so... | |
| Threshold Fet 10E bi-amping question I also have a Threshold Fet 10e and S350e power amp. I briefly had my system bi amped with a loaner amp " Threshold 400a" I didn't have balanced cable at the time and just used a RCA spliter connector and the Fet 10e seemed to drive both amps fine... | |
| Wilson Audio or JM Lab I am quite familiar with the sound of both Wilson and JM Lab Utopias. I currently own a pair of 946 Electras but regularly hear both products at local dealers. IMO the Wilson speakers I have heard, WP 5, WP 7 and X1 Grand Slam are more Hi Fi like,... | |
| How often should you re-calibrate your ears? I try to get out at least a few times a year to experience live music. Live is live and IMO no amount of money can buy a Hi Fi system that can equal the live experience. Last year I went to a Jazz concert and the next day I visited a local Hi Fi d... |
