| Aragon D2A...I like it...sorta... While i've only tried a Monarchy Super Dip, it did tighten up the bass quite a bit. Overall, it gave me the impression of adding a "quick" or "etched" sound to everything. While this might be great for a detail freak, it seemed to detract from the... | |
| EVS Millenium II is ready Yay or nay? Ernie, drop me an email and we can go from there. Sean> | |
| How do I make a HT system out of this? If your not real worried about the ultimate in HT fidelity or "slam", etc... do yourself a favor and just pick up an Adcom GSP 560 or 700, etc... This is a processor and three channel amp all in one package. You can feed it from your tape loop and... | |
| Aragon D2A...I like it...sorta... You might also want to keep in mind that digital gear needs to be on for a while to sound / perform best. Leave it on continuously even if not playing anything through it. I've also found digital gear to be more susceptible to power cord changes t... | |
| Aragon D2A...I like it...sorta... Hi Todd, hope your doing well. Have you tried a different cable between your transport and DAC ??? Between the DAC and Preamp ??? Did you know that cables can make a noticeable difference in your system : ) Sean> | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" Abe, the majority of my "fancy" power cords are all homebrew designs with the exception of a few TG Audio's, LAT's and a Kimber. While this might sound like ALL of my power cords are "bought and paid for", keep in mind that i have five complete sy... | |
| Room Acoustics I know exactly where your coming from once you mentioned having your speakers on a suspended floor. While J_K did a "bang up" job on describing a good plan of attack, that will still not keep the joists themselves from flexing. While it might not ... | |
| Best CD Transport in 1K Ball Park For a "reasonable amount" of cash outlay, the Theta Pearl is a better transport than the Cal Delta. Take this as coming from someone that has a Delta. Sean> | |
| Nice Warm AC cord for a PLC Abe, see my response to your comments over in the Dunlavy thread. What you and i were taught in school is "theory", not "reality set in stone". Obviously those theories do have some validity, otherwise we wouldn't be where we are today with the le... | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" Abe, you can laugh all you want. As an electronics tech by trade, i used to do more than laugh at such things. I was UTTERLY APPALLED by such things. That is, until i tried playing with various power cords. The differences WERE noticeable. In fact... | |
| REK-O-KUT sounds better than my LINN? Well of course it does. Haven't you seen that Stereophile now ranks the Linn in Class C ??? : ) Sean> | |
| what to do with a pair of AR-9's Curt, contact Steve Tidwell at Layne Audio regarding directions for proper packing and ship them to him. He specializes in these speakers, is quite honest and is reasonably priced. I've had him do drivers from my collection of modified AR's ( 9's ... | |
| Help with power amp Mosfets are far from fragile in my experience. Two of my amps are Mosfet designs with NO protection in them whatsoever other than fuses on the mains. I have pounded on these things with very low impedance loads time and time again and they have ne... | |
| Speakers for Near Wall Placement Speakers that are designed to be placed up against or very near the wall will typically have the woofers on the side of the cabinet near the floor with the mid-woofer / midrange up off the floor quite a bit on the front of the panel. This has to d... | |
| Cables, a case history of an Agnostic Alan, since the "Cable Cooker" uses a switching power supply, isn't it possible that this could become a source of both EMI and RFI ??? It is well known that switching supplies are notoriously "dirty" due to the spikes and glitches that they gener... |
