| How make my Ayre system "warmer"? Change to warmer speakers, or change your electronics. Ayre is designed to be uncolored. If you want color (warmer), then you are better off buying electronics or speakers that get you to your goal. Changing wire or applying other tweaks will not ... | |
| KAB 1200 vs. everything else. 12-25-08: AudiohifilaNot necessarily true it's a given because your preamp might handle line better than phono.I am using an example of a line preamplifier with a separate phono. The phono preamp is part of the analog source, as far as I'm concern... | |
| Integrated changes input selection by itself If it has a remote, try taking the batteries out of the remote (to eliminate the remote control as a cause). | |
| Does good technology guarantees musicality? This just happened to me with a recently-rebuilt 3910 Denon where 32-bit AKM DACs, a digital input and Class A tube output stage are yielding the most detailed, involving, transparent and musical presentation I have ever heard out of my system.Fpl... | |
| KAB 1200 vs. everything else. If in a given system, one source clearly betters another, then the room, amplifier, preamplifier and speakers, being constants in the equation, do not factor into the difference in sound. The difference in sound is solely attributable to the sourc... | |
| Does good technology guarantees musicality? Musical is in the ears of the listener, and as another person has already stated, "musical" is impossible to quantify. What one listener considers musical, another will consider a-musical.The audio hobby cannot be wrapped in nice conforming packag... | |
| AC Power Cord Wire Gauge My observations mirror Nsgarch's 100% regarding gauge and how sound changes with different gauge wire. | |
| Amp for Verity Parsifal encore Absolutely.I use XA-60.5. Previously used Belles 150A Reference monos.If you want to spend more, there's always an advocate. | |
| Class D question............... ...every person has personal listening preferences and cues, but most important...we all hear differently. Our ears and brain do not respond exactly as the person sitting next to us.Audiofeil (Threads | Answers)I agree 100%.If more people kept thi... | |
| Amp for Verity Parsifal encore If you find the Belles amp and preamp to be impressive, then I'd suggest not changing them. They are excellent components.FWIW, a pair of 150A Reference run as monoblocks will yield better results than a single 150A: more authority, and a darker b... | |
| Pass Labs XP-10 & XP-20 preamps Is anyone aware of an XP-20 review? | |
| Upgrading Frontend in 2009: Which way to go? The used APL Denon 3910 presently for sale with H Attenuator (that enables the player to run directly to an amplifier) is a steal, provided the laser is running trouble free (meaning it won't read some CDs).Other options include the Resolution Aud... | |
| AC Power Cord Wire Gauge Al, you stated a very smart answer to question number 2. Well done. This was entirely along the lines I was suggesting, although I am not an engineer or a scientific person (although I studied calculus and physics in my early architecture studies ... | |
| AC Power Cord Wire Gauge There will be many replies to your question. Some very smart individuals with electrical engineering backgrounds will make compelling arguments in favor of using the same gauge wire in power cords as that which is in your walls because from an eng... | |
| Help Me Justify Recent MMF7 purchase I agree with Grimace. IMO, changing the MMF-7's cartridge will bring improvement. |
