| Your music system is an instrument. but now my Sonicare tastes like crapWrong end in the wrong hole. If you only have one Sonicare to do double duty, I'd suggest marking the two ends with different colored tape to give you a quick visual reference. Of course if you don't wash the th... | |
| If you haven't tried them, you need to... Just been listening to Dolly Parton on SACD - Little Sparrow - where she does a wonderful version of "Shine" (Collective Soul) - Vocals are outstanding on this recording.I agree on HDCD and XRCD too - the quality is usually outstanding. I've had q... | |
| KT88 recom. for quicksilver mini mono's I liked the JJ Tesla's over the Svet C's in those amps. Sorry to have to add yet one more option to your responses here. It's been too long to know my reasons, but I do remember that preference. Shoot Mike Sanders an email - it may take a day or t... | |
| Your music system is an instrument. ...my Sonicare is a butt plug.Slap that puppy on a wooden base and you've got yourself a vibrating Perch™! I think we'll have ourselves a new and imroved version! I'll need to do some R&D, but I like the way you think, Howard. We'll talk about... | |
| Interfacing Computer Music to D/A Converter ? I am Curious about adding the USB interface to a Audiomirror / Dac-ah ? is there a way to get it modded to add the usb direct, even if you have to eliminate the toslink or coax digital board ?You may want to contact Vlad at Audio Mirror about that... | |
| Interfacing Computer Music to D/A Converter ? As pointed out, you do not need to spend a ton of cash on a good (USB) DAC, especially if cosmetic issues are not that important. Along with the usual suspects, offering some choices in the $1000+ categories (Wavelength, Empirical, Apogee, Hagerma... | |
| Active Placette pre sound better than Passive? Pubul57 - I noticed you had a CAT ultimate in your system and are now selling it. Can you compare the sound of the CAT with that of the RVC in your system?Marco | |
| Interfacing Computer Music to D/A Converter ? A laptop (hard drive) can make for an excellent front-end if it is done right. Definitely stick to the lossless file formats to start. You'll need a USB to S/PDIF interface. The best one I've tried, and still own, is no longer made, but you may be... | |
| Mainstream reviews-why so few? Grant - your car metaphor ain't working for me. There are really precious few 'underground' car manufacturers. There are, however, a great abundance of audio maufacturers who produce great stuff who operate without benefit of much advertisting - s... | |
| Active Placette pre sound better than Passive? Is it possible that you are using cable runs on the IC's that are too long? Stick to the shortest IC connection possible, especially between the passive and the amp(s). The passive pres are much more sensitive to cable length. I have a Placette an... | |
| Can I ever stand to listen to our system again My deepest condolances to you. I cannot imagine the depth of your loss. I know too well that there is little anyone can say to make things any better. I lost my father this past May. For me friends and family have been a great comfort and support.... | |
| Volume on my Pathos Classic One MKII ???? Swampwalker - there is a muting switch on the remote for the Mk ii version, so Dreadhead, you should check that and let us know if it may be engaged. Per Swampwalker - your Hybrid amp, deals with the different loads internally, and not via variabl... | |
| Volume on my Pathos Classic One MKII ???? Could your TuneBox may need more gain...Is there a gain switch (MM/MC), and if so, is it correctly positioned for the Shelter? Have you tried a line input with your Pathos? Plug in a CD player to see if there is a similar problem there. If you don... | |
| Mainstream reviews-why so few? I can't tell you how many reviews (and real world comments, for that matter) that I've read that have made reference to the component under review being comparable, or even besting components that are 2-10 times more expensive. Just once I'd like ... |
