| Review: Purist Dominus Interconnect Nice write up and good logic. I can see how one might confuse the benefits of moving the rack ( which we KNOW would be beneficial ) and going to a much higher quality albeit longer interconnect. Chances are, you noticed both at the same time and i... | |
| Interesting link on hifi stuff (2) Much of what Ethan presents as "fact" is actually "opinion" and quite "totalitarian" in scope. For those that are too lazy to cut and paste, here's a direct link to the website. Since i was the one that "whined" the loudest about wanting to post l... | |
| Questions re Adcom GFP-750 in a combo system Thank You VERY much for the quick and thorough responses. That took care of all of my questions : ) Sean> | |
| What is the deal with the ART DIO I would only add that i think that the physical layout of a circuit becomes FAR more critical with digital signals due to their "RF based" nature than it is with other standard line level analogue circuitry. With a chassis the size of the Dio and ... | |
| What to do when seller does not send item paid for Natalie,Have you ever wondered if:A) the items that you posted attracted a certain type of person or crowd ? B) how you worded your ads left you open for quite a bit of nit-picking and / or tire-kicking ?C) the manner in how you conducted business... | |
| The best way to design an audio system. Rives, my list of "projects" is never ending. As such, i've simply been limiting myself to logging on AFTER i've made a reasonable amount of progress on something that i wanted to get accomplished. My problem, probably like many of you, is that on... | |
| The best way to design an audio system. You have to calculate the room dimensions, size and distance of actual listening area to be used and know the frequency and SPL range that you want to reproduce with authority. Pick speakers that are suitable for those specifics and don't over or ... | |
| What is the deal with the ART DIO I agree that cost means little when buying an audio product. MOST of the time, much of what you are paying for is Research & Development ( R&D ) and marketing, not the actual parts quality of the unit itself. As such, that is why some chea... | |
| Have I finally lost my mind? Yes Tim, you have lost your mind : )BUT, this time i think that you are probably not crazy.I have seen enough things that effect CD's that supposedly never should ( static, markering, trimming the edges, polishing / cleaning cremes, etc... ) to pr... | |
| What to do when seller does not send item paid for I went through something similar on two different occasions just recently. I had someone ( supposedly ) send a piece to me here in Chicago from Ohio. When they did reply to my emails, they kept insisting it had been sent out, but would not forward... | |
| Dunlavy vs JM Lab Scott, i agree that both product lines have a "house" or "family sound" ( as do most companies ), it's just that i find the JM's "flavour" to be far more noticeable than the Dunlavy's. I wish i could put the sound that i hear in my head with the J... | |
| What is the deal with the ART DIO The conditions that i listened to the Dio in placed it in just as much of a "mess" as the other DAC's being auditioned. That is, they all used the same cables, lack of optimization of the system, no isolation, coupling or damping, etc... We ran th... | |
| Dunlavy vs JM Lab I think that you would find the Dunlavy's "drier" sounding with the JM's sounding a little more "musical". Mind you, i think that the Dunlavy's are probably more "accurate" but what one chooses would be strictly personal preference. The JM Labs ha... | |
| What is the deal with the ART DIO Here's my one post for the day : )There are at least three different Integrated Circuit's ( IC's ) that various modifiers use. As such, the results from unit to unit might vary quite a bit depending on what chip was used. Obviously, some modifiers... | |
| Love for music shatter by highend equipment Having run into the "this disc sounds like crap so i will no longer listen to it" syndrome some time ago, i've learned to try and strike a balance between a system that is "revealing" yet still "musical". Out of all of the things i've tried to do ... |
