| Borresen Acoustics Speakers - Have you heard them & what did you think? Too bad. Ribbons never seem to work for me.B | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? @rsf507 ,I wish I could be more precise, but I was listening to a system with equipment I never listened to before, so I really can't give an opinion because it might have been one component that affected sound reproduction to lead me to 'sounded ... | |
| Borresen Acoustics Speakers - Have you heard them & what did you think? Are those ribbon tweeters?B | |
| Some components too old now? @vinyloid,Yes, I got the same take on those thread. So, maybe I'm wrong. The only way to tell is try and audition some more contemporary DAC's. Though I have to say DAC's from the 90's never contemplated the high resolution being offered today.Re ... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I just listened to amps from Merrill-116 monoblocks.They sounded pretty good, but are unfortunately very expensive.Bob | |
| DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA @jea48 ,Would you recommend getting a DC blocker for every system?I know not all lines have DC, but just as a precaution?Bob | |
| beginner seperate system Actually, Atma amps are pretty stable for a tube amp. If impedance drops are severe, he recommends using the Zero Autoformers.Even Steve McCormack says they make his SS amps sound better.Bob | |
| Some components too old now? Like you said, it was one of the best in its' day, but that was more than 20 years ago. I think you'll find just about any DAC built recently will be a significant improvement.I found a link to another forum (hopefully allowed) asking the same que... | |
| DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA @twoleftears ,Exactly.I bought a 2016 TTS that has a B&O sound system. It sounds like crap. My previous TTS had a Bose system that sounded leaps and bounds above the B&O-and that is saying something.B&O had some really interesting gear... | |
| Omni Directional....Interesting.... That helps..Well, in short, they sound very good, if you like dispersed sound- that is, a room filled with sound without a pinpoint source. Though if you want a highly imaged/focused sound, then they are mostly lacking in that area.There will be t... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels I know almarg uses the DeQX and loves it. You should PM him.Bob | |
| Room Dependent Thanks, TomicB | |
| Transparent SS and V? Not to be a party pooper, but I think there are better cables at a more reasonable price than Transparent.Have you looked inside of the network boxes?Do a Google search.And, yes, I bought over $3K worth of speaker cables from them.If you like what... | |
| Omni Directional....Interesting.... What do you want to ask?I just auditioned some German Physics speakers which would probably be considered Point Source omni's. They were very nice.I have always been interested in omni speakers, but have found their imaging to be a bit fuzzy. Tech... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @twoleftears Rubenstein's #4 concerto has been a favorite of mine since I first heard it 40 years ago... It was on an old VoxBox collection with Micheal Ponti.Actually, I rediscovered it on Spotify. They had 3 volumes from Early Romantic to Late R... |
