| Is my hearing bad? Jeff,Investing onto amplification gives much larger and audiable differences than onto the digital source. It realy a question of integration with amplifier where one would do great and another wouldn't even without mentioning price differences.I ... | |
| Is this a deal or what .... I think getting Cambridge D500SE demo $325 from audioadvisor(30 days free trial!) is much better deal nowdays. DACs chips become cheaper and cheaper so as computers do. Newer DACs are easier to filter and they're more precise than previous ones. T... | |
| When did it all start? Do you remember what speaker cable and wires were used?:-) | |
| Any Problem using Plastic Covers for CD ? sometimes in best buy you can acquire megachanger of 400 disks or so or whatever capacity you need for $100 range or even less. good storage and you can use for party as well. | |
| Exposed tonearm cable source of hum?? Is step-up transformer switchable in Rowland?You might have enough gain without it.Well, if not still you can check hum not using a step-up trans.Also you can borrow or buy cheap another phonostage to realy check if hum percists.You may also try t... | |
| Is my hearing bad? To find differences in digital playback is a great challenge since the 99.9% of differences are introduced through proper digital noise filtering in after-DAC proccess especially if different components are using the same DAC chips and all digital... | |
| opinions on modern horn speakers In Beuhorns I don't hear any honking but don't hear any bass and details as well. They're simply bass-free speakers.Avantgarde is an active system with active dynamic(i.e. non-horn) woofer(well except Trio that has bass-horn that needs quite a spa... | |
| VTL, MIT caps and how close is the 450? Multicaps RTX for coupling capacitors are always one of the best options. MB185 to MB450 is only the matter with output power and so is with room you're going to have the system. In vast majority of cases MB185 is plenty-enough for even large size... | |
| CD and/or LP collections. Is it about the music? Pmkalby,My vinyls and CD-s are shelved onto "groups" and I don't listen just to one record I listen to the whole "group" of them and the session might go for 6 hours. Not neccessarily I will do a critical listening but later at night I turn-off am... | |
| IC's gain dependent? 40000 Ohms are too extreame!!!But the audiable level difference to the tens of kOhms load might start in range of high tens of Ohms or low-hundreds Ohms depending on input impedance of amplifier or next component which still too much. Even digital... | |
| CD and/or LP collections. Is it about the music? Price of my music collection greatly exceeds the price of my system.It's not because some expencive pressings are present. I can say that I only have 1 MFSL copy of Led Zeppelin2 and mostly value records by its music. | |
| How to make your CD player/amp live longer ? It's realy a matter of either using it or not using.I saw the auction where Towncar from 1990 had only 7,000 original miles on it and were used not more than 4...500mi per year. | |
| Will digital amps make analog amps obsolete? Digital amp is another hifi-ish way to sell pro-grade amps for big kilobucks instead of couple-hundred dollars. | |
| OL Silver vs SME 309 I'm the owner of Michell and I use Incognito RB300. I opted for it since I already had RB300 unmodified from my previous TT. The sound is great but SME309 is more robust and adjustable. Very often precision matters more than rigidity. If I didn't ... | |
| Scratched discs - what do to? Ev,Just come by St Mark's pl. in NYC and you won't wonder anymore. |
