| Ideas for separates around $1500??? Man, nobody thought of that, should have been the first thing -- the cables. Prob because you thought it was the equipment, which led everyone down that path. I believe DNM are unshielded? If so, it explains it. At any rate, living under the elect... | |
| Anybody heard Stereoknight magnetic preamp? @ Maril555 if you're asking me I don't know. I do know when I emailed them/him he responded pretty quickly. | |
| Anybody heard Stereoknight magnetic preamp? Usually pricing isn't displayed when there is a dealer network, and pricing elsewhere may not be what's on the website. FWIW I've emailed the owner, or whomever he is, of stereoknight. pretty prompt with response back to me. He'll tell you the pri... | |
| Ideas for separates around $1500??? i agree -- don't see how changing equipment will help with that. check out hotrodaudiomods.com for some RF shielding | |
| Anybody heard Stereoknight magnetic preamp? Nice to hear first hand experience. Intrigued by that brand | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Way cool discussion going on here. Had a feeling this one would grow legs. If Almarg has summarized the OP's proposal succinctly and accurately -- 1)A significant degree of correlation (although certainly not a perfect correlation) can be expected... | |

| How do you judge your system's neutrality? I don't think it's a silly term when applied in this way. I suppose you could think of alternate silly terms -- clean, unobtrusive, honest, flat. Neutrality in this application isn't referring to making things sound more distinct, but that things ... | |
| I need help with my Equipment addiction Macdaddy, ill venture a guess and say that your system probably sounds pretty f*in good right now. | |
| I need help with my Equipment addiction Chadeffect pretty much nailed it. I just spent collectively about a week dialing in speaker positioning, 1/8 of an inch at a time. Luckily the songs I use for reference are ones I still like, but they've pretty much stopped becoming music and more... | |
| Anyone ever seen or heard a Cary Audio CD-302 ? Best kept secret -- good one. I've dealt with Gerald before via email, he is cryptic. But at least he replies, which is better then some.i would try the picture route and maybe a follow up phone call. | |
