| Best budget amp match with ProAc Tablettes Can't offer an opinion about the amp question, but I imagine the Arcam FMJ CD37 would "play well" with pretty much any partnered equipment possessed of reasonably balanced sound. I bought one as a temporary replacement while another sacd player wa... | |
| Tidal Piano Cera speakers and Subwoofer? Well Argyro & Bvdiman, there's definitely substance in your advice to look for a higher powered amp to help satisfy my yen for more bass. I installed an old back up amp, a 150 watt PS Audio HCA-2 that was modified by Reference Audio Mods. Whil... | |
| Tidal Piano Cera speakers and Subwoofer? Thanks for your insights Bvdiman. I have definitely been considering the factors you mention. The power rating on the Aloia amp is rather deceiving and strangely stated. What the designer intends to state is that it will never deliver less than 30... | |
| Tidal Piano Cera speakers and Subwoofer? Yes, my set has three vario-gain adjustments for bass and I'm using the setting that has the most bass enhancement. As I was listening last night, I thought the bass of the Pianos is so "almost right." If the F3 point were only something like 28hz... | |
| Tidal Piano Cera speakers and Subwoofer? Rower30's current thread "High Quality Subwoofers - which one" has a lot of helpful information about a number of the subs I'm considering. In the past, I have integrated a sub successfully with Magnepan 1.6's in the same room and location I'm con... | |
| Best Small Floorstander for Rock Music -Magico/B&W Add the Tidal Piano Cera to your considerations. I just bought a pair of these and they do every genre of music justice IMO. They allow for three low frequency adjustment curves and two high frequency adjustments to tune the speakers to a rooms si... | |
| amplifier versus hearing aid Can you adjust the gain in your hearing aid or switch the aid to a different processing program? My wife's Oticon hearing aids allow adjustments for changing sound environments. If your aid doesn't allow for changes like those and it continues you... | |
| My system's high frequencies hurt my ears As I recall, some hardness of the metal dome tweeters in your speakers was noted by reviewers. Combine Nordost cables with speakers that have a propensity towards sounding bright and you might have a recipe for your problem. It's also possible you... | |
| Accessory Wall Wart Removal Ideas? The first thing to do is figure out the voltage output and amperage of each wall wart. If you were lucky enough to have a bunch of 9 volt power supplies, a guitarist's pedal board power supply might be the ticket. Seems like most audio related wal... | |
| How will you split $3000 between phono and cart ? Yes the retail price is $3k, but if you call Mehran at Sorasound in San Francisco, Ca., he might be able to help you with a demo piece. Sometimes, depending on circumstances, some latitude in pricing might be possible. He's a very nice guy and is ... | |
| How will you split $3000 between phono and cart ? As someone who appreciates the timing, tone, & timbre virtues of Naim, I suspect you'd greatly appreciate the same virtues evident in the RCM Sensor. The Parasound and RCM both operate in that category of (sorry for the overused, tired phrase)... | |
| How will you split $3000 between phono and cart ? Having gone the path of similar considerations, I'd opt for long term happiness and buy as good a phono stage as I'd feel comfortable buying. Then I'd settle for a lesser cartridge at first, knowing I'll upgrade in the future. After all, the stylu... | |
| CDP/laser repair in Tampa bay area I was just speaking of the general difficulty of finding a good repair shop in this area and used my Marantz as an example. I don't think Saki70 has yet said what brand he's having problems with. In the case of my Marantz, it is WAY more complicat... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners I recently heard the Tidal Contriva Diacera SE at Axpona in Jacksonville and was mightily impressed with all aspects of their sound. So much so that I just bought a used pair of the Piano Cera, which should be arriving next week. Can't wait to get... | |
| CDP/laser repair in Tampa bay area After my experiences trying to find a good repair shop for my Marantz Sa11S1 in the Tampa Bay area, I'd strongly suggest sending it to a factory authorized repair center. As the earlier post suggested, you probably need a new laser. |
