| Smooth Highs and Deep Bass Many thanks to everybody who has offered advise thus-far.The Purist Musaous is sounding smooth, open and dynamic from the ARC CDP now, but that's when using the cheater plug.So, I'm going to purchase the Jensen Transformer, which lowers my budget ... | |
| Digital versus Vinyl - Grinnell College Review A well written article even for a non-student, but still just the basics.I wish he mentioned that the quality of the digital playback chain is of major importance in reproducing optimal sound. It sounds like any CD player or download device is goi... | |
| Smooth Highs and Deep Bass inna,I'm using PAD Aqueous liquid speaker cables and love them. When I tried Museous IC from CD it was not smooth, but now that Al has diagnosed the prob, I will try Purist again. | |
| Smooth Highs and Deep Bass Thanks again, Al. I do understand the basic theory of ground loop as it applies to mains power...in a muli-component system there can only be one grounded component. But thanks for explaining the IC grounding issues.I was wondering if AC from digi... | |
| Smooth Highs and Deep Bass Al, your troubleshooting input is always most appreciated.Now I'll review my procedure:My CD for testing highs from a CDP is LvB Symphony no. 7, Karl Bohm/VPO, DG 1972.I also use the Haydn string quartets (Kodaly Quartet) on Naxos.- did an A/B bet... | |
| Smooth Highs and Deep Bass So my decision to mention the PGS is based not simply on my desire to push my personal fave, which it isn't, but to bring to your attention a cable that many audiophiles agree has a smooth top end. Will they work in your system to smooth your ... | |
| Smooth Highs and Deep Bass Thanks, akg, I value you insightful comments. System synergy does matter and one size does not fit all, but my real goal is to ask other members if they have found cables that help soften the "edge of digital output without sacrificing dynamics. (... | |
| Vincent sv-237 or Rogue Cronus Magnum II Knowing Dynaudio speakers and seeing the specs of your speakers, you'll do much better with the Rogue Cronus Magnum. It's got lush tube sonics and with more power comes better dynamics; you'll hear it in the increased bass.One thing about Rogue st... | |
| Tubes for Rogue Audio Perseus Magnum Preamplifier For a warm, open classic tube sound, I like RCA BlackPlates. The Perseus and the Magnum have a modern sound with extended highs and I suggest NOS tubes to get a warmer sound.The best part about tube rolling is that you can use tubes in the driver ... | |
| Gallo Classico Subwoofers I’ve been thinking about getting the 10" sub. I have the Gallo Classico 3 floorstanders and I can tell you that the bass and overall sound is very musical, fast, and tight. So, I’m sure the subs are voiced the same way.For Rock, my Classico’s bass... | |
| New format, dislike..... they are somehow maintaining a lot of pictures in the Virtual Systems section. Maybe they could use the same mechanism.Very true, I forgot about that. As for posting to a sharing site, I've been on forums where they ask members to do that, and let... | |
| New format, dislike..... how come one can't upload a picture, that should have been included with the "update" a pictures worth 1000 Words, don't you know :-)Peter, I would like that as well, if anybody out there is listening...Audio Circle, Audio Asylum, among others ... | |
| New format, dislike..... Well, call me a complainer, but there are still duplicate threads in"New Discussions in the past 48 hours" and "Forum contributions in the past 48 hours." It takes up real estate which can be used for older threads.IMO, "Forum contributions in the... | |
| Tube options for Jolida The 5751 Blackplates are excellent premium tubes, very dynamic.For a more relaxed, classic sound from the same family of tubes is the RCA 12AX7 Blackplate. The Blackplates have a very open sound.I would also recommend Mullard Longplates, but tube ... | |
| Entry level amp You said it best...Ditch the receiver, get an integrated amplifier.I can't speak to any of those particular amps, but it's important to audition them, possibly at a Best Buy Magnolia. For a well respected integrated w/ DAC, there is the Peachtree ... |
