| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons I don't have the technical chops to make a great contribution to this discussion, but my understanding is this: first-order crossovers confer benefits in terms of maintaining phase accuracy (coherency?) across the drivers. The price for doing this... | |
| Power Cord Priority Nanotweeter, if you can, go straight to the wall with your CDP and preamp, just to start. Then try your new PC in each application. Get your conditioner out of the way for the moment. They sometimes (oten, usually) do more harm than good unless an... | |
| What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE??? I thought Apogees were ribbons, not 'stats. | |
| Good percussion Safri Duo: Goldrush, and Works for Percussion. This is classical percussion and is great stuff.Global Percussion Network, Rauk. On Opus3 SACD. Mostly on the quiet and delicate side, but great sound and lovely music. | |
| Why "Cryo" anything? How could cryo treatment possibly affect the sound from optical disks? I may buy it for cables and whatnot, but CDs? What is that about? | |
| Review: Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Signature Monitors Monitor Great review--you did an excellent job of communicating the sound of the speakers without relying on the usual battery of empty audiophile jargon. I'd really love to hear these someday.Which stands and at what height do you have them? | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Me too. Dar Williams "The Honesty Room" comes to mind. | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Oh s**t! I just realized I have that, and on hybrid SACD no less. Have to give a listen tonight. (I buy too much music.) | |
| What can you tell me about First Sound pre-amps? Just read Jadem6's extraordinary review of the Aesthetix pre. Have any of you First Sound enthusiasts heard the Aesthetix? | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Newbee, can you provide more information on that specific recording? There are at least two by Herreweghe on HM and I want to get the one you are referring to. | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music A fellow A'goner just turned me on to the 1986 recording of the USSR Ministry of Culture Chamber Choir performing the Rachmaninoff Vespers. If ever there was achingly beautiful, this be it. A must-have if you like choral music. MOS 18733. | |
| What can you tell me about First Sound pre-amps? Sometimes at night I have dreams in which my FS preamp has a remote. Then I wake up, sadly. | |
| Worst remote nomination... The remote on my Onkyo DVD player is abysmal.I recently auditioned the Muse UDP and its remote is ridiculous. About 50 tiny buttons, all the same size. | |
| tube upgrade for first sound Give it a month so that you really get to know the sound of the broken in unit before you start experimenting. | |
| Review: Sony SCD-1 Audiocom-UK upgrade Except that in the case of this particular audiophile (Jadem6), the "silly, overpriced extras" were chosen after diligent, careful evaluation. At least that has been his approach in the past.A bit harsh, daytrader. |
