| Spectron Musician 3 First Impressions? The Spectron M3 is better than the M2 in every single way! The bass is even better in that it sounds more organic. The midrange on the M2 has more grain & hardness while the M3 is fully fleshed out and the voices have more body to them. The tr... | |
| Spectron Musician 3 First Impressions? The other amps I've owned: CJ Premier 11, Premier 11A, Orpheus Labs, Sonic Frontiers Power 2, ASR Emitter Exclusive Version Blue (still own), Granite Audio, Spectron Musician 2, Separo 300B, Counterpoint SA220, Counterpoint NPS 400, Arnov Stereo T... | |
| EMM LABS sacd vs cd I would also have to agree that the difference between cd & sacd on a (dual layer) SACD is not that great. I find that EMM's magic in the converting of the PCM to DSD really pushed the cd quality to a level that when switched to the sacd layer... | |
| My DVD player really heats up discs? ? I have a Samsung HD 931 and have noticed the same problem. It is amazing just how hot the disc is. As long as the heat does not worp the disc, it should be ok. I have my Samsung elevated on feet so cooling is not the problem. | |
| Power cord for Meitner DAC & Philips Transport? Yorock,I also use a Harmonix power cord. I've tried quite a few cords in the past, but the Harmonix kicks ass! I use the XDC squared ($585) but I've heard that the Harmonix Studio Master ($1170) is better still. The XDC squared works wonders on my... | |
| Apogee Duetta Signature: Optimum placement Thank you all for your excellent help!!! One more question please.Which would be the best audible improvement: Installing the crossover upgrade OR purchasing an Apogee external DAX ????Once again, Thanks for your advice!!!!!!!!! | |
| Apogee Duetta Signature: Optimum placement Thanks for the tips! I moved them out from the front wall to the recommended 48". This seemed to help the bass and if I'm correct, seemed to deepen the sound stage quite a bit! The upgrade kit contains some big mama inductors 2" x 4-7/8", 2 x 3-3/... | |
| Apogee Duetta Signature: Optimum placement My amps power suppy (The ASR Emitter One Exclusive) is enclosed in a separate chassis. It also has a pure dc battery supply that powers the preamp section. The amp can provide 2 x 700 watts at 1 ohm so I don't think it is lacking. The suggestion o... | |
| Martin logans or Dali Euphonia The Martin Logans are more transparent and have a bigger soundstage. The MS4 & MS5 are more dynamic but have multiple crossover points where the Logans have just one. The Dalis are easier to set up and not as critical as the Logans are for roo... | |
| Is there a"giant Killer" CDP ? This is a no brainer. The Audio Aero Prima MK2 CD player at FULL retail ($2250) smokes most every player twice its price, and yes it does get very close to the "Big dogs". | |
| Spectron Musician II vs. "Big" Tube Amps I also own a Spectron M2 and find that does duplicate the sound of my 50 watt triode Kora Galaxy tube amp I owned! This is only when the Spectron is used with the remote sense speaker cables. If you use standard speaker cables on the 5 way binding... | |
| Any hi-end Aussie speakers or electronics? Check out Ambience speakers!! They make the most beautiful ribbon speakers you will ever hear! They are a 2 way design at 89db sensitivity and they use SOLID wood for the speaker rails. They have been around for many years and have had numerous re... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems I've never had to install 2 tubes before but depending on the cost of the tubes it should be less than $150. | |
| Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems The two tubes in question are the 6021W. They have 2" wires coming from the base, not the rigid tube pins you see in most other tubes so they can't easily be used with tube sockets. They must be de-soldered and the replacemnents have to be soldere... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole MK II: Performance & Problems The numbers and bars are displayed (dbr from -100 to 0) on units with the P3 chip installed. How do I know, I'm the guy that does the service for Audio Aero. The phase switch still works with the P3 software and you get 4 levels of display dimming... |
