| Marantz sa-1 stop playing Photon46,I had a bad experience with an EMM CDSA SE blowing up on me. Though I was able to have it repaired I sold it off. The experience taught me how vulnerable 1-box solutions are. I now have a PS Audio transport and AMR DP-777 DAC and could no... | |
| Recent equipment you hated, thought overpriced I use Bybee and Shakti and some other quantum tweaks and they are all very effective.Unless you use these items in your system your opinions are merely opinions. I prefer facts to opinions. | |
| Vintage Marantz I have a Marantz PM 15 integrated amplifier -- the original 1993 model. I believe this was the top integrated made by Marantz. I am delighted with it and would probably only part with it for a VAC integrated amplifier. | |
| Difference between Marantz PM-11S1 and S2 I have the original Marantz PM 15. I don't think the Marantz integrateds get any better than this:http://www.thevintageknob.org/marantz-PM-15.htmlAs far as I am aware. | |
| Do Cable Makers Know Their Own Products? Furthermore, when you think about it, what does blackness mean when used by makers to describe the sound of a cable in an audio system? Does it mean the cable produces sonic images that are clear, or clearer than before -- more detailed or transpa... | |
| Do Cable Makers Know Their Own Products? I have no idea why this innocuous post of mine was disallowed seeing that my earlier post about black background was posted to the thread (above). So I will resubmit. Surely discussing the black background that so many cable makers claim for their... | |
| Do Cable Makers Know Their Own Products? Tiltedhalos,I would also love to be there. But of course it will never happen. Cable makers would never put themselves in such a dangerous situation where it might be revealed that they could not even recognize their own cables. But I truly believ... | |
| Do Cable Makers Know Their Own Products? Furthermore, we have all read that the best cables do nothing -- they just allow the music to come through in all its naturalness. Then how come all of these interconnects, speaker cables and power cords from these 5 top manufacturers sound differ... | |
| Do Cable Makers Know Their Own Products? Rrog,The recordings in my system vary according to the quality of the production. Great recordings sound great -- not lean or warm.Mrtennis,IMO what has been proposed is not complex. We are only talking about testing 2 cables from each of 5 manufa... | |
| Do Cable Makers Know Their Own Products? Mt10425,That is a very good question. What the heck does neutral mean? | |
| Do Cable Makers Know Their Own Products? How is it that their new cable has a black background, the next version has a blacker background, the next version has an ink black background, the next version has a jet back background, the next version has an ultra black background -- and the n... | |
| Do Cable Makers Know Their Own Products? Furthermore, if it is true that they cannot identify their own products how can they make their perpetual claims that their cables will improve the sound in everyone's system to everyone's liking? | |
| Do Cable Makers Know Their Own Products? Mt10425,You state "how each cable sounds on given system might be completely different than the factory reference system." Absolutely correct. Which is why I say "we give them an hour to get used to the sound of this system".You state "For this to... | |
| Speaker cables comparison chart:: Much Needed Sunnyjim,Thanks -- I do this as a matter of course now for those who do not like to hear my opinions. When I put IMO, IMHO or in my system, the LOL and BS meter people stay away more often. This makes for a less argumentative discussion.Ssglx,Have... | |
| HELP FedEx Mangles Speakers - Refuses Claim For heavy items I insist on TRIPLE boxing with a lot of space -- more than 4 inches -- between the second box and the third box. This has saved me. I know, it is more expensive. But it is the only way for me to receive things safely overseas. I ha... |
