| Driven to Tears I have. But the emotion was due to the music "scoring" an event or circumstance in my life that I was thinking about, and the combination elicited tears...much as music adds emotional impact to a film. With natural sound only, a dramatic film scen... | |

| Power cord for Belles 350A Reference I highly recommend a Purist Audio Dominus Ferrox with the 350a Reference. I tried this combo, and the results were obvious from the first note.A used Fereeox will run $700-$750...and well worth the price premium. | |
| Atma-Sphere Mp-1 mk III I run an MP-1 MK III with Pass Labs XA-60.5.The match is excellent. The preamp also worked extremely well with Belles 150A Reference amps. Frankly, I can't imagine any solid state amps that would not work extremely well with an MP-1 preamp. | |
| Technics SL1200/1210 owners - which mat? I've upgraded to the Boston Audio mat, it's quite a big improvement over the stock rubber mat. I thought the stock rubber mat sounded very loose and ripe in the bass. The mids and highs were drowned out by the loose bass.James1969 (System | Thread... | |
| What's a good beginner turntable at $2500+- range? My KAB Technics SL1200 is just as open sounding as my APL Denon 3910, which is as open a digital source as I have owned. | |
| Performance of $1000 DAC's One plus of the Paradisea+ is that it's sound can be tailored by rolling its one tube. | |
| Performance of $1000 DAC's I compared the Paradisea+ DAC to a couple of highly modified universal players (Modwright Sony 999ES and APL Denon 3910), and while the Paradisea+ did not equal their performance, it's sound was very musical and I could easily live with it.I highl... | |
| Question about set amps and low sensitivity spkrs The problem is, if you have speakers that have large impedance dips, and you have an amp that feeds the same power into the different impedance loads, then you end up with unbalanced sound as the frequencies at the lower impedances will have less ... | |
| Question about set amps and low sensitivity spkrs Well, there you go. | |
| Question about set amps and low sensitivity spkrs Only problem with the 4ohm tap is that you are going to drop the wattage quite a bit - I think.Pubul57 (System | Threads | Answers)Actually, it works the other way. Think about amps that double power output into 4 ohms. Therefore, 8 ohms halve the... | |
| Question about set amps and low sensitivity spkrs Coincident, Devore, Classic Audio Reproductions, Zu Audio, Audiokinesis.These companies all make speakers that will work with your SET amp. | |
| What recordings use Q-Sonic? Qsound...thanks.Soul Cages...yes...that's the one I was referring to. I thought perhaps Sting had used Qsound on other releases as well, but perhaps not. | |
| What's a good beginner turntable at $2500+- range? Where does the Galibier Serac/Artisan tonearm combo rate at $4k? | |
| How can I improve my system You can't make an apples-to-apples comparison of a Belles 150A Hotrod to a Belles 150A Reference or 350A Reference, just as you can't compare an Odyssey Stratos Extreme mono to a regular Odyssey Stratos.But Belles aside, the Odyssey amps are the w... |
