| A problem solved. Here's the thing Mofimadness, some of these little Bluetooth speakers hit WAAAY above their pay grade! ( like you said, they kick ASS). The UE is definitely in that group. Like you, I cannot believe how much sound comes out of this little box.Whic... | |
| "New" Beatles Mono Catalog Release on 180gr Vinyl Great Stereo recording vs. Great Mono recording... I know which I would prefer to listen to--and it isn't the Mono.However, I'm not saying the Mono is bad... All IMHO. | |
| "New" Beatles Mono Catalog Release on 180gr Vinyl I listened to Revolver again last night. It really is a superb LP. However, I think it is important to note that since it is mono, it has all of the "deficiencies" of mono. If you reference a great stereo LP against a great mono LP ( like this Bea... | |
| Distortion with ARC Ref 150 and Maggie 3.7 Zd542, Thank you for your retraction. All good. | |
| Distortion with ARC Ref 150 and Maggie 3.7 Ralph, that would seem to have been a smart thing to do. Pity other companies failed to see or take that path. | |
| Distortion with ARC Ref 150 and Maggie 3.7 Pakwong, Congrats on the JL5. I think it will put the ARC to shame.Great amp and a perfect match for the CAT preamp. | |
| Distortion with ARC Ref 150 and Maggie 3.7 So Zd542, you want to expand on why you believe what i posted is incorrect.I am all ears. | |
| Distortion with ARC Ref 150 and Maggie 3.7 Ralph, IMO the loss potential generated by the additional electronics needed to go balanced in home electronics; is more of a problem than what one typically sees as noise infiltration into the system by outside sources. Unlike in the pro audio wo... | |
| Distortion with ARC Ref 150 and Maggie 3.7 I think the real problem here is as stated by several other posters...that is the incompatibility between the CAT and the ARC. I think ARC is simply trying to cater to fashion in regards to their seeming insistence on only using balanced inputs on... | |
| CATSL1 best pre under 3K? Stewart0722, have you considered tube rolling into your CAT? I did this on mine and it went to an entirely different level. Rolling NOS tubes into both the line and phono stage was a huge improvement. | |
| CATSL1 best pre under 3K? Granny, the challenge would be interesting. However, I live on the West Coast, so the distance is a factor. When I heard the Dude it was in a friend's system who also was using a Counterpoint SA5.1. The Counterpoint was the better sounding preamp ... | |
| CATSL1 best pre under 3K? Jwm, what was the rest of the system? | |
| CATSL1 best pre under 3K? Jwm, what gear were you pairing the CAT with? I have never heard any CAT preamp sound forward or upfront sounding... | |
| CATSL1 best pre under 3K? Here is the other irony. Depending on the ancillary gear...source,amps, speakers and the room; I believe that almost all gear can be made to sound different than in a synergistic set-up. In my experience, and with an analog front end, the CAT soun... | |
| CATSL1 best pre under 3K? Dvdgreco, Charles1dad brings up a good point. Subjectivity is the rule and there will be a diverse range of responses. His advice to always audition if possible is spot on. I can tell you from my perspective and likes, the TRL and the Coincident L... |
