| Material Specifications/Layout for AC line Beatlebum/Tim,Looks like I might be too late in this thread but I'll put in my 2 cents FWIW:I used 10AWG romex in-wall wire. After reading a # of threads on A'gon w/ really good info from people like Lak to name just 1 person, by 2nd-hand living w... | |
| EMM DCC2/CDSD versus Esoteric X-01 Guidocorona,It *appears* that your listening session (tho good) was not completely fair: Why did you not change the Burmester stock power cord with the available Shunyata Python VX & listen again?2ndly, do you know whether or not all 3 players... | |
| Review: Music Hall MMF5 Turntable Chopsrr,Glad to read that you finally found your nirvana! It's these moments when everything gels together that we live for. Enjoy the music.BTW, one of the reasons that you might have been getting "shrillness" from the 1012GX is that it is NOT br... | |
| Meitner DCC2 hc@holcorcorp.com, Realrookie Both of you mention "Paramount". Do you both mean "Parasound"? I've never heard of this brand "paramount" & am wondering if it is a new brand or a typo? Thanks! | |
| Cables for B&W and Rotel system. When I was a B&W owner, I tried hard, very hard to get B&W to answer this question for me. No real luck. I asked the question in many ways including what equip. B&W used @ shows.Thru some painful digging of info, I found that B&W h... | |
| Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner GNSC & Jtinn,P-L-E-A-S-E back-off, both of you! If one of you still feels that he should have the last word, P-L-E-A-S-E refrain & let the gentleman inside you take over. There has been a LOT of un-necessary mudslingling in this thread &am... | |
| Review: Music Hall MMF5 Turntable Chopsrr,OK, I suggest that you play carefully with the VTA. Before commencing, mark the position of the present VTA so that you can always return to the start point w/o guessing. Do the VTA adjustment as carefully as possible: using shims at the p... | |
| Review: Music Hall MMF5 Turntable Chopsrr,Contrary to what most people think (including myself @ 1 time), the Goldring 1012 & 1042 guts are THE same! This is so stated on the Origin Live website (I think) but not on the Goldring website for some reason! In fact, all the 1000 s... | |
| Oversampling/Increased dither: a lot of hype? Eldartford,Are you quite sure that it's the DAC reconstruction (analog) filter that is responsible for the degraded sound in oversampled/upsampled systems??I feel that it is the over/upsampling (digital) filter - the one that various manuf. use to... | |
| Listening Fatigue Stehno,"Bombaywalla, you make some interesting points".Looks like you conceded....but in what a way!!(Man, you have absolutely NO humility! And, your arrogance is unparalleled!) | |
| Listening Fatigue Nighthawk,Well, technically you are correct & thanks for pointing this out. I'm aware of this but I discarded the concept for my post because:- My post was with reference to context where I referred to Stehno's 8-27-04 post. I referred to Steh... | |
| Listening Fatigue Stehno,In your original post of 8-27-04 explaining the what a "proper" line conditioner should do:(1) is the result of (2). (1) does not stand a line conditioner design objective by itself rather it is the result of successfully attaining the goal... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Dodgealum,From my personal experience I'd recommend that you stay away from the Kimber Hero. The sound from this cable is bloated in the bass & rolled off in the highs. The mids are average (the best represented in this cable). There were many... | |
| Listening Fatigue In addition to what Tireguy wrote, I also feel that speakers contribute to listening fatigue: If the power output from the drivers is not matched correctly (due to incorrect choice of drivers &/or ill-designed xover) then one or more area of t... | |
| Review: Music Hall MMF5 Turntable Chopsrr,The Dynavector 10X5 is also a very good cartridge from what I have read (no personal experience tho). I do not know if the Dynavector can be aligned using just the 2 screws provided for the fixed holes on the MMF-5 headshell. The alignment... |
