| after TT upgrade, digital sounds like crap- help I was going to say that all PC setups I've heard were at audio shows and my one lame attempt at it and they always sounded a bit on the cool side. Detailed, yes, but not emotionally engaging. These were rooms that people raved about and I just did... | |
| Darwin Ascension: audio video revolution review Nothing underhanded going on there. Tony Bender teamed up with Bill Magerman of Tribute and they're selling off old stock as well as the Darwins.It's all stated in the product description of the other brands.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Marantz PM-15S2b first thoughts Hey Charles1dad,Thanks for letting me down gently. :-)It's just my limited experience playing a hand here. It's good to know I got some of it right.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved Can the administrator stop this before something serious happens? | |
| Marantz PM-15S2b first thoughts SET sound refers to the sound characteristics of a SET tube amp and not the sound a "set" of musicians make in a studio.My experience is limited compared to others here but what I did hear with a SET tube amp with Audeze headphones finally clued m... | |
| Whats your current Reference CD at the moment? Jacintha-Jacintha Is Her Name.I didn't realize it until I played it not an hour ago. "Light My Fire" was killer, so killer.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Music Server now bane of my existence Sounds like you've already grabbed the brass ring. :-)Have fun and enjoy.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Darwin Ascension: audio video revolution review I hope it works out well for you. I have no first hand experience with the digital cable but Tony is onto something and he's gotten great feedback with his digital cable. Hopefully it will break in as fast as the ICs do.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Darwin Ascension: audio video revolution review I read the review and wonder if I should have waited and gotten the Ascension ICs. I talked to Tony Bender for a good half an hour when ordering the Darwin Silver ICs and he let me in on the newer IC which put me on the fence. I settled for the Si... | |
| CD vs CD/SACD Player – Tube-based or Not Charles1dad,No, I haven't had the pleasure. For a long time I've read how wonderful they are and it's only been recently that the emperor shed some of his clothes. Some are now saying what you say about them: too clinical. It could very well be th... | |
| Marantz PM-15S2b first thoughts Arcamguy, Yes, it can be bi-amped and if you're inclined, you can slave up to 4 units for surround sound (which would be overkill but it can be done with the F.C.B.S. feature).Charles1dad, I believe that people who hear this in a store setting wil... | |
| CD vs CD/SACD Player – Tube-based or Not If the Luxman were bought stateside, it can be repaired, if under warranty. If not, i"d avoid it. Exoteric is nice but expensive. Like Batmobile says, you can try the Marantz SA-15S2b. I just got one and love it. Most of my listening so far is wit... | |
| Power cords Give Elizabeth time, she will respond. :-)And yes, you went and reopened a can of worms with your inquiry.I hope you're happy.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Why does most new music suck? The simplest of melodies being the most pleasing allows one to what can be expressed with a minimum of expression. Nothing overtly ornate or colossal in scope, nothing pounded down your ears. At a social gathering, It is the gifted ones who can ma... | |
| Why does most new music suck? *But it's always been the simplest of melodies that are the most pleasingCouldn't have said it better myself. |
