| Audio Logic 24MXL compared to Audio Logic 34MXL I answered part of your question on the other Audio Logic thread; you should call Jerry, he will tell you the differences and will tell it to you straight too. My recollection from when I switched the chips in my Audio Logic Model 34 to the 24 bit... | |
| Shakti Stones Do they actuall work guys. While I figure that they may indeed work for some applications, on the output and input transformers of my old Jadis JA80 amps they degraded the sound very slightly, and they did not make a difference of any sort on top of my Forsell transport (wh... | |
| Jerry Ozment has a new dac out... Try him at 203-222-2274. As I mentioned, I think the only difference is the different DAC chip, which he feels sounds better. He may talk you out of the change.Anyone who has a Model 34 that had the transformer upgrade (but not the 2400's chips) w... | |
| What to look for in purchasing CD-R's for recordin Having heard a few types in a demonstration for our audio society, I'd say the Mitsui Gold discs probably have the best quality (MFSL sells them, don't know about the others) in terms of clarity and detail. The black discs I've heard have a consis... | |
| Best object in your listening room. Well, if you count the adjacent room where I have all my source equipment and preamp, a 15th Century suit of Spanish parade armor! | |
| Classical Football background Music Hey, if it's classical to you that's all right. I always liked the music behind the highlight films too! | |
| Upgrade order suggestion preamp vs speakers You're right, this would be a difficult one to answer, as you already have excellent pieces in both places. I will stick just to the items and brands you mention; it's obvious that you like the sound of your system right now (expect the Wilson-bas... | |
| Has anyone answered the real question? Actually, I know what you're talking about, as it happens often to me. Last spring I was in a 170 mile bike ride for two days and couldn't get a piece of music I had practiced the night before out of my head--I was sort of on cruise control and no... | |
| embarassment du choix The one that sounds best in my system after I gave them both a full audition. | |
| watt puppy 7 / sophia? There's a recent thread on this very subject, you should use the search engine. Audioauricle's first sentence is the consensus, I believe. The key is having a good front end, as the WP is far more revealing of flaws ahead of it than the Sophia. On... | |
| Three Classical Sacd's on a desert island Sonically, I think the SFO recording is a little more focused in its image specificity and clearer sounding, particularly the chorus--more a matter of the recording engineer's mike placement and Delos' mixing in of the ambient channels, possibly? ... | |
| Jerry Ozment has a new dac out... I spoke with Jerry. Basically, he always felt that the 20-bit chips from the original Model 34 DAC were the best-sounding ones he ever used, so what I understand he's done has been to make a one-box version of that DAC but with the transformer-cou... | |
| Three Classical Sacd's on a desert island I'd have the same answer as you if it were Disco or Rap! :^) | |
| Three Classical Sacd's on a desert island Only 3? Very difficult and unfair. I guess it would be:1. Mahler Symphony no.2, probably the Bernstein version, though on SACD it would be Litton/DSO or Tilson-Thomas/SFO2. Bach--Brandenbergs, as Warren--probably Pinnock's version. Always need Bac... | |
| Soundproofing Doors at Home Depot Douglas_schroeder's suggestion was going to be mine. There are also various sand-filled fabric tubes/socks that people use to keep the cold from coming under their doors that you can probably find in a Miles Kimball catalog or the like and would b... |
