| Neophite needing advice Eldragon: Do you think that the Sekrit could be hung (like a painting) as opposed to being flush mounted? It's an interesting system that you have recommended, very B&O-ish. I am looking at a 12 watt pseudo SET by Audion that the speakers may ... | |
| cal. audio ikon mkII power boss upgrade No-Money: If there are any around and you can audition one at a shop try and find the CL-15. It sounded similar to the upgraded Icon to me and it will give you a good idea of what the change in sound is like. It will sound better at first impressi... | |
| The fallacy of ac treatment On the subject of shielding which in a way pertains to this thread, does anyone know of a commonly obtainable material, hopefully sold in sheets that is good for this purpose? My amp has a separate power supply which is easy to place away from the... | |
| musicality vs. accuracy What ever is your preference is the way to go. I lean toward musicality as long as the timber of instruments sounds correct to my ear. I have been unable to get them all to sound right in a modest system so I concetrate on the ones that are more i... | |
| cal. audio ikon mkII power boss upgrade No-Money: I considered the $600.00 upgrade until I was able to listen to one of the units. It makes the Icon sound more like the newer 5, 10 and 15 models in that the sound is more analytical, but I feel that it loses some of it's musicality. This... | |
| The fallacy of ac treatment Joe_coherent: What simple and relatively inexpensive products are you referring to? Are these from personal experience and/or from a technical website? Please share them with us. I am not against DIY or cheap tweaks at all though I don't think tha... | |
| The fallacy of ac treatment Snowgoblin: The sign remark was merely rhetorical and was in poor taste - I apologize. Your comments remind me of the white paper trolls that exist at "another" audio site, just go there and click on the SET forum and you will see similarities to ... | |
| The fallacy of ac treatment PS: Were you wearing a sign on the back of your pants that read "KICK ME" when you started this thread? Or are you open to intellectual discussion? | |
| The fallacy of ac treatment Keep reading white papers and you will figure it out eventually. But whatever you do, don't contaminate the data by actually listening. Also include "the basic table of elements," theories of super conductivity and the effects of electromagnetic f... | |
| Crown Amplifier for Advent 300 The utility cabinets sounded better when stacked and the Walnut better when used as a pair. The Shag used in these listening tests was multiple hues of green. My ex-brother-in-law still has the AMT-1's but I sold all of the Advents years ago. | |
| Burn-in time Vs. Getting used to a sound I feel that it is a combination of both. I can beyond any doubt in my mind hear the effect of break in. But when I switched to silver interconnects for the first time there was more involved in my acceptance of the new sound other than cooking the... | |
| Crown Amplifier for Advent 300 Whatjd: I wonder if the Advents would sound better today without "shag" carpeting? Or do you think that they would have too much bass? | |
| Crown Amplifier for Advent 300 I thought that the whole idea was "classic/vintage audio" which modern amps are not - yet. I am also under the impression that this is to remain a budget system. Are you interested in modern and pricy gear for this project or will it remain a clas... | |
| POWER: conditioners vs filters vs cords Timchen: I picked it up at Globe-mart.com. CLICK Audio/Vidio - CLICK Home Theater - CLICK Surge Suppressors - CLICK Monster - CLICK 12 outlet model @ $124.95. I'm not trying to be funny, it is really buried in there. Fast delivery too, it showed u... | |
