| Every new substance is a candidate isolation tool I seem to recall a while ago somebody was using pork chops. | |
| Current Trends in multi thousand dollar speakers Thanks to Sean's post a few months back ( Stereophile confirms ...) I decided to learn how to read the tests of the components and noticed how many of the megabuck components seem to have an engineered sound (re: peaks and dips). The first thing I... | |
| Suggestion please: How to improve sound. First you need to assure you are getting the most from what you have. You will need to account for speaker placement and listening position. The size and shape of your room will affect where your speakers will sound best and the ideal listening po... | |
| Amp for Dynaudio Special 25's The W5 is not being discontinued according to a Sim Audio dealer who posted on another thread regarding the W5LE. Sim Audio goes very well with Dynaudio. | |
| What did your first "real" system consist of? Early nineties. Audiolab 8000A, Arcam Alpha 5, B&W DM610's. They are collecting dust in the basement until the arcam gets replaced or repaired. | |
| Best and Worst Websites in Audio'dom I agree with Tireguy. The Sonus Faber site is just bizarre. | |
| What tube monoblocks? Atma-Sphere' can be very nice, very hard to beat, in fact if your speakers are up to it. The M60's like like an 8 ohm or higher impedance with about 88dB sensitivity or higher. This combo would provide sufficient spl's for most sane individuals. N... | |
| Audiolab 8000A and 8000S I was paraphrasing the audiolab owner's manual. I have not performed the mod on my old unit. The manual does use the words "simple modification". If you feel confident in looking inside, you may be able to see for yourself if you can do it yoursel... | |
| Audiolab 8000A and 8000S The 8000A has pre out and power in jacks and can be used as a pre or a power amp. To be used as a preamp, simply connect to a power amp. The pre and power sections are connected internally. To be used as a power amp, this connection needs to be re... | |
| Plinius, SimAudio or Levinson $3kused? The Sim audio W5 is a great amp for the money. It sounded the best out of the three. I auditioned Classe, Plinius, Pass labs, Blue Circle, Bryston and Levinson. I thought the W5 was the best overall performer and would have (and may still be) my c... | |
| I auditioned SACD today Rsbeck, you made some good points. However, Rec found that the performance of SACD did not clearly better CD or LP. Personally, it appears to me that the trend that the mass market is being fed is convenience rather than sound quality. The masses ... | |
| Best Used Solid State Amp for less than $5000? Two different animals. Go for the plinius if you have the cash to spend. FWIW, to my ears, the W5 betters the X250. Keep in mind that is my opinion. I've spent time with all three amps (dozens of hours auditioning for my next amp).Cheers | |
| Sound is too big for my room. I didn't mean room correction per se. I was referring to simple adjustments such as placement of furniture, curtains, an area rug, etc. to help absorb or diffuse some of the reflected sound in the room. These sorts of things helped tame my listeni... | |
| Sound is too big for my room. You may want to consider some room treatment. Check out the Rives forum on audio asylum. The room is often the most overlooked piece of the system. |
