| Comparison between the Bryston 7BSST² and the Bryston 7B³ Have a look at whitecamaross amp thread. Based on his observations, the Bryston B3 series is much more laid back when compared to SST2 series. The SST2 is going to be more forward sounding, probably with more attack and resolution. It depends o... | |
| What's the weak link in my system? @jdm11 - I totally understand. I had to leave for several hours, but before I left I just saw how you described what your "problems" were and what you wanted:- CDs sound a bit harsh and thin.- I’m looking for a more "3D" kind of sound with depth a... | |
| What's the weak link in my system? I noticed nobody commented on the Marantz SA8260 SACD player. It looks to have a superior analog section when compared to your CD 6006. You could look into having it repaired and possible get back a better source. It depends on your threshold. ... | |
| What's the weak link in my system? @jdm11 - there are a lot of different opinions and suggestions posted here. I do agree with several opinions that your source is very important. One thing I have found is that if the sound quality or sonic signature of the waveform is not there ... | |
| What's the weak link in my system? @willemj - I can see that you are definitely a person who is completely reliant on specs and you seem to have the traditional old school opinion that cables do not matter at all. That is perfectly fine. You are perfectly okay to disagree on certai... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Well, I can understand that no fuse is better than fuse. However, you are potentially setting yourself up for failure. I'm sure you know that removing the fuse and hard-wiring will VOID any sort of manufacture warranty that you have. The other ... | |
| Best fuses for under $50? @gbmcleod - out of curiosity, how many hours do you have on your Furutech fuse? The rhodium will take 200-250 hours to burn in fully. There are several very painful points during burn, some being very very bright and harsh. If you don't have 20... | |
| JRiver vs Foobar - which do you prefer and why? Another positive fact for JRiver:The latest Diana Krall hi-res album (Turn Up The Quiet) appears to have been engineered a little differently. Both the 192 FLAC and DSD have had problems playing on Oppo 103/105 players. When the Oppo reads the F... | |
| JRiver vs Foobar - which do you prefer and why? Historically, the older programs did not always play FLAC files equally. I did a comparison years ago and found JRiver was highly superior to a couple other. I think one was Media Monkey, which sounded worse than JRiver. If you play FLAC, there... | |
| Best components to optimize Martin Logan 50XT and Edge in walls Wow, you're right! The Cambridge CRX200 does not have full 7.1 pre-outs! If you have any goal to add an amplifier, this is NOT a good solution. The Cambridge would be good if you wanted only an AVR and that's it!If you have your heart set on an... | |
| Anyone have Bookshelf speakers mounted over top of their subs?? @musicjones - great! Oh, another suggestion. When you put together your panels, do NOT put a flat board on the backside (like a 1/4" plywood). Any sort of flat board on the back will resonate and it will sound like a bad echo. A 1x3 frame arou... | |
| Best components to optimize Martin Logan 50XT and Edge in walls I agree with the fact that your front 3 speakers should match as close as possible. The surround speakers are not as critical to match exactly.If your current Denon receiver sounds dull and lifeless to you, then you probably don't want a warm sou... | |
| Anyone have Bookshelf speakers mounted over top of their subs?? @musicjones - take a really good look at the Owens 703 FRK. I have used this extensively as well as the Roxul Rockboard 80. You may end up having better bass absorption with the FRK due to the foil membrane (and it will not absorb the upper mids... | |
| Best components to optimize Martin Logan 50XT and Edge in walls @lovepoozer - Can you tell us exactly what components you currently have? It's not exactly clear if you already have a HT preamp/processor, or if you just have a few speakers. | |
| Best fuses for under $50? @gbmcleod - thanks for your post. They are all definitely good points. One thing I wanted to call out is that I did not specifically state that "power supply" would be the flaw in all instances. I just put that out as an example, because the po... |
