| New Music vs. New Equipment The way I look at it is there is no problem with your expenditure on gear being much higher than on software, and that it is not necessarily a trade-off decision. Over the last 20 years my income and stereo have improved a lot, but the rate at whi... | |
| REL Q201E vs REL STORM The Storm is a good deal better for music. If you can stretch to it financially then go for the Storm. | |
| CDP suggestions for bright system? Hi Doug. I think we agree. A friend of mine once commented on another's audiophilia nervosa as a "misguided wild goose chase for a musical result from CDs". I suspect there is a lot of truth in the suggestion that you are wasting your time trying ... | |
| CDP suggestions for bright system? This isn't what you asked Widener, but I believe that you should banish from your system any component that is either not neutral or is dynamically constrained. So it worries me that you are going to add to your existing "brightness" problem by ad... | |
| Zoethecus Vs Audio Point Sistrum Rack Hi Mikec. URL is www.audiopoints.com. Remember the "s", there is an unrelated site that has the same name but without the "s". | |
| Top 10 TV Shows I'm just surprised any of you can find 10! You ought to listen to music more - raise your standards!!!! | |
| B W monitors too bright? I don't find them bright. More like flabby to my ears and in my system (N801). Speaker/Amp combination is a major determinant of the character of a system and most speakers can sound great once the right amp has been found to partner with it. For ... | |
| Footers/Shelf Material Hi Ernie - I have just finished posting to the one you refer to - I must be following you around. My reference to the E-A-R footers was for between Neuance shelf and component, whereas Ken's was for between rack and shelf - I believe. In fact I ha... | |
| Shelf Material - Neuance Ernie it sounds to me like you are using cones between the Neuance and a wooden rack. If so then you will not be getting the best out of the Neuance. If you can get a hold of a welded steel rack with spikes to support the Neuance you will get a mu... | |
| Shelf Material - Neuance OK - now for how to use the Neuance. I tried almost everything and found out the hard way that if you want a truly great result you - use a light rigid steel rack, you do NOT fill the rack with anything, you spike the rack firmly to the floor, you... | |
| Shelf Material - Neuance Hi Ernie. I was wondering when you would try the Neuance. Before I make any further comments, I should point out that the effect of the Neuance changes quite dramatically over the first week. And if you play around with footers, cone direction or ... | |
| Optical cable vs. Digital interconnect AT&T is a totally different kettle of fish from Toslink and is best of all in my opinion if well executed. But I think the only optical option available to Kitty is Toslink. | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Dekay, you can find out about them at www.audiopoints.com. They are a very well designed hard cone. I have tried them and they are pretty good as far as cones go. They work particularly well onto MDF shelves and in a clamp rack system - that is, t... | |
| Integrated Amp for Thiel 2.3 s ? The Plinius 8200 will do a decent job with the 2.3s but will not entirely remove the slightly whitened nature of the sound of these speakers. I have spent quite some time with the 2.3s, including with tubes, and believe they are a struggle to make... | |
| Coincident Cables Experiences? Any Good? I agree Jctubes. Please don't take any of the following Eljif as trying to diminish your experiences, as I am sure you heard what you report you heard. I find the sound of all the Nordost interconnects I have tried (including the SPM and QF) to ha... |
