| Best player for Poorly Recorded redbook CDs? some dude on another forum did a big comparison between Rega Apollo and NAD M5, said M5 made crappy recordings sound MUCH better than the Apollo. M5 was also the better player on fine recordings, and SACD bonus to boot. YMMV. | |
| NAD M55 Universal Disc Player Very thoughtful review. Nice job. Phil (anyone), have you heard the M5...? I wonder how it compares to the M55... | |
| Does the"quality" of jumpers affect the sound? John,The "AC" that comes out of your amp is not necessarily 120Hz; it's audio band signal so it ranges from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Maybe your thinking about wall household input frequency??? anyway, Your amp, any audio amp, in general basically modulate... | |
| Does the"quality" of jumpers affect the sound? Jmcgrogan2All analog audio signals, regardless of their magnitude, are AC in nature. All Audio amplifiers or integrated amps connected to typical loudspeakers are designed to generate amplified versions of the incoming AC (musical) signal. Any DC ... | |
| What song best describes you or your life? "Ramblin Man"...Allman Brothers - as played when I am getting ready to audition a new component ;) | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Sell your separates and current speakers, put most of your money into even better speakers but go with a really nice integrated amp with tone controls. Choose carefully and you really may be off the merry go round while still retaining awesome sound. | |
| Tweak your AC mains for better performance, free Foster_9Do you normally leave your equipment on all the time? | |
| Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it. Sorry for this one I forgot to include this in my last post, but do you think the "wow" factor folks have when they hear analog is partly from surprise--that "old technology" can sound as good as it does?Either way there is something intangible ab... | |
| Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it. THe only experience I have with vinyl was though my parents collection when I was a kid. I was fascinated with the turntable and I think that is what really hooked me into Audio toys in general. As i grew older I never got into the, but just focus... | |
| Opinions on Audio Research LS17 & LS26 Agree Audphile1. I too replaced the stock infini's with TRT's and the preamp was far more transparent/neutral. This was a good thing in the context of my system. The LS15 with the EH6922's and new dual tube dampers from arc, plus the TRT's IMHO,ta... | |
| Personal amp evolution Updated:-Harman Kardon Citation 24 (from 1988 and it still works)-Adcom GFA 555 II (great for loud music/party system, bad with thiels and critical listening)-Muse Model 100 (one of my favorites from long ago)-NAD 314 (still have it, and love it i... | |
| Opinions on Audio Research LS17 & LS26 I found that DrHIFI review to be more geared toward comparing/contrasting the LS26 and the LS15, not the LS25MKII. I don't mean to pick apart that fine review, but really, there just isn't much substance to go on, as far as compare/contrasts to th... | |
| AR/Aragon Has anyone used this combo? hello, I ran an LS15 into an aragon 8002 for months. No pops, no problems. It was a good match. | |
| Does a component stand impact the sound Mags5000- LOL!!!Hey I was wondering the same thing. I have a tall/slim stand that was under 150. The bottom shelf is MDF, but all the other tiers are smoked safety glass. It looks great but the paranoid audio geek in me wonders what the effect of ... | |
| SB3 digital mod significant improvement? Converting the stock switcher to a linear will take care of the RF emissions.SMPS not encased in metal, and whose input/output lines not sent thru feedthru caps will generate RF at the fundamenatal and third harmonics, as it is a square wave signa... |
