| Power conditioners and amp dynamics??? I'd look for balanced power transforers/systems. They can yield up to 120dB common mode noise rejection while providing multi-kilovolt protection from lightening, surges, brown-outs, etc. Many have added filters to remove further noise without lim... | |
| Do you like to use AC filter or ISO transformer? That's odd, to say the least. The only time I've ever heard of an Iso tran affecting sound negatively is when it was current limiting an amplifier. Since a source barely draws any current, that should be a probelm.I use 4 industrial 2.4kVA Topaz U... | |
| For Diana & Cassandra fans Wow, I just checked out the Valerie Joyce link - this woman's got pipes(and hot, too)!! | |
| DAC OR AMP? Your thoughts POWER vs CLARITY? Cool, now we've got something to work with. I think your speakers are fine, PMC is pretty well known for their accurate montioring speakers. I can imagine they have a lot of untapped potential.How much do you have to spend on a component(integrate... | |
| For Diana & Cassandra fans To go one further Lmikek,I am not a fan of Diana or Patricia, but I love some of Cassandra's better work - Blue Light Til Dawn, Mew Moon Daughter, parts of Traveling Miles. Don't know what's going on with the new one - Thunderbird. "Easy Rider" an... | |
| Tube Friendly Speakers - Down to 30Hz - $3000? Yeah, "inquiring minds want to know" | |
| DAC OR AMP? Your thoughts POWER vs CLARITY? I can't find any current or past NAD product called the "673" on the NAD website.What do you find lacking in your system? Do you feel like it's underpowered?Also, what is your budget for an upgrade? | |
| Best Transport with Museatex Bitstream DAC Hi Bigkidz,Has your Bitstream been upgraded?I have a Bitstream that John Wright did the complete upgrade along w/ extra power supply mods in July of last year. Obviously, a fantastic dac. JW also highly recommended the Theta ransports from the Pea... | |
| Tube Friendly Speakers - Down to 30Hz - $3000? I appreciate Sounds_Real's enthusaism for C&C speakers, but if Tvad is truly looking for "Speakers - Down to 30Hz", I'm not sure the Abby/Bailey combo is going to deliver that performance with sufficient SPL's. Tvad's room and mine are almost ... | |
| Noticed the Patriot Act's effects on PayPal? Does anybody remember the standard 7 day hold on all bank deposited checks back in the 80's?Congress finally busted them for the practice called "float". Banks would process your deposit that night, then collect the interest on the money in short ... | |
| CAIN ABBY OWNERS - AMP ADVICE PLEASE One of the best amps I have heard driving the Abbys at any - yes, that's rght any - price range is the $800 SEP (single-ended Pentode) Almarro A205A. You can find them used here for ~$550.I have heard this combination several times and it always b... | |
| DaVinci Tonearm Wow Paladin, that is a world-class shootout. Can't wait to hear your impressions.3 totally different approaches to arm design. | |
| EchoBuster products, Does anybody use them? Vtl,I want to to be in your business!Just joking, and you make an excellent point about DIY - not everyone has the tools, skill, space, time, or desire to build components. For these people, proven commercial products are the only real option. | |
| Trying to extract more from my Vandersteen I think there is a chance that switching to other cables from MIT might remove that veil. My brother has Vandy 3A Sigs, AR LS-16 preamp + AR 100.2 amp, plus MIT cables. I think the system sounds a little "veiled", too.Try Fatwyre.com/The Cable Com... | |
| Can someone guide me as to what Single driver ?? As you mentioned here, i'm also using a very sensitive horn tweeter. It is quite a bit hotter in output than the paralleled Beta's, but as mentioned, i'm crossing it quite high and there are always EQ's available.Yeah, we're padding the FT-17H dow... |
