| Powering ProAc Response 2.5's Hmmm, this is all good to know. I'm using Blue Circle separates to power my little ProAc Tablette 50 Sigs, and they're a wonderful match. I can't afford to buy even used 2.5s, so I was considering tackling the 2.5 DIY project and was wondering if ... | |
| Virtual Dynamics Recall Stbhorn that's great. It's funny, because for me I didn't notice much of a difference in bass, but experienced a huge improvement in soundstaging and clarity. The again, I haven't put any Virtual Dynamics cables or cords on my powered sub yet.It s... | |
| Bright / forward speaker cables. Very interesting Sean. I think it's important that people hear testimonials both positive and negative in order to make a more educated decision. It just proves how so much of what we use is system dependent. What are you currently using for speak... | |
| OZZIE RULES When I saw th e thread title "Ozzie", i thought this was a thread about the Nelsons. Oh well. I love watching the Osbournes. I could watch Ozzy empty [or at least try to] the trash all day. Ozzy rocks! | |
| Movie: Proof of Life I thought it was cool how they used "The End" at the BEGINNING of Apocolypse Now. A neat irony. | |
| Bright / forward speaker cables. Wow, Sean. I think you're the first person I've heard that found the Oval 9s to be bright sounding. Last year I was using DH Labs Silversonic T14 which I thought were too zippy, and after changing to Oval 9s much of that was alleviated. I guess th... | |
| Low Level, Nearfield Nirvana? Hi CW. I use ProAc Tablette 50 Signatures, which are small mini monitors and very my listening between nearfield and a bit further back. I don't know if there are any secrets to nearfield listening. I'm still learning myself.In general I prefer si... | |
| Mapleshade CD Favorites I own about 10 Mapleshade CDs, and while I enjoy the fidelity of them I don't always care for the performances. Also, I've noticed some strange subsonic anomlies on a few of them. That being said, I really like Sunny Sumter's recording for Maplesh... | |
| Virtual Dynamics Interconnects. Any experience? Hello fellas. I've had my cryo'd Audition cables and cords on constantly and playing throughout the day since they first arrived 11 days ago. When I first installed them I was stunned at the enormity of the soundstage and how everything was render... | |
| Best tubes for ARC LS16 preamp Thanks for the info Albert. I have a pair of Siemens 6922 E88CC and 6922 CCas at home as well as a pair of Mullards on the way. I can't wait to try them out in my DAC. | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Sean, there two aural deserts in life besides a lovely women's voice that I love. One, is the sound of that lovely voice coming from my ever improving audio rig. And the other is the visceral experience of beautiful engine note. I work on the west... | |
| What is your most anal audio habit? Detlof, I like DSOTM as well for removing crusty dustys. Or how about Spinosaurus vs. T-Rex from JP3 jumping around? They're sure to shake the neighbors too. I actually have one of those Sharper Image Ionic Breeze machines by my audio rig, and I k... | |
| What is your most anal audio habit? Mine is to never allow more than 1/8" layer of dust to accumulate on my gear. Once it gets past 1/4", reading the displays can get pretty tough. | |
| Virtual Dynamics Recall Yes, I am Sherod! To the point where I care less about break-in on the Auditions, and am beginning to experiment with different tubes in my DAC and preamp. I already know I love the Virtual Dynamics and they'll only improve, so I've gone ahead and... | |
| Need more bass response Hi Axspike. I've only been hardcore into the audiophile lifestyle for a little over two years. The first year and a half I toiled with cables and cords and never got the noticeable results I had read many others had attained. However, over the las... |
