| Why does my headphone set up sound better ? Thanks Davetherave,you are right, my question was related to the headphone output of the CD80 vs. the DAC and M-F X-CAN output to headphone . Should have been clearer about this. LOL, my room setup is far more realistic than the headphone sound fr... | |
| Linn Sondek LP-12 service in San Diego area ? Mabonn, forgot about Dan at Blackbird, he is a great recommendation. | |
| Linn Sondek LP-12 service in San Diego area ? You might try Stereo Unlimited on Sports Arena Blvd. I know Stereo Design on Clairemont Mesa used to sell Linn, however, I cannot recommend them. | |
| To biwire or not to biwire, that is the question?? I don't think bi-wiring is a myth, I have used bi-wires on my speakers for years, using them on my Hales prior to my current SF Guarneri's. In all instances, I feel this config is better than single runs. The speakers seem to project air and micro... | |
| To biwire or not to biwire, that is the question?? Sprink, If you look at my system pics, you will see how a true bi-wire should be IMHO. That is a single same gauge and same manufacturer run per terminal. In my case I use Highwire's and run an identical pair in a 8' configuration. This allows for... | |
| Audio Research for Sonus Faber Extrema Avico, you might try a used CAT preamp. Matching this to a ss amp like a Rowland or maybe a Plinius would yield I suspect a great sound with Extrema's. | |
| To biwire or not to biwire, that is the question?? I've bi-wired my various speakers for years and really believe the benefits are substantial. I think it is crucial to actually use two sets of cable per speaker vs. a single cable with bi-wire ends. The added clarity and dynamics in my system are ... | |
| Rowland Model 6 monoblocks - my thoughts I am under the impression that the Rowlands are always powered up whenever they are plugged in... esssentially in a 'sleep' mode until the front switch is activated. I know that my model 8 works in this manner and I am fairly sure all of the line ... | |
| Rowland Model 6 monoblocks - my thoughts Sand_man, you might want to try a CAT preamp with the model 6's. I use a CAT sig with rolled in tubes with my model 8 with choke and the sound is excellent IMHO.The CAT sig's ( various versions) are big sounding and work well with Jeff's equipment... | |
| Avid Acutus - Standard or Reference Fosse, In audio any marginal improvement is an epiphany to some people. Particularly some reviewers..;0) | |
| Brag About Your Vinyl Collection My sealed copy of MFSL's Ella and Louis again,managed to buy it from the factory just before they sold out. The rep at the time told me he wasn't sure if they any left but I got lucky.Also my shaded dog scheherazade in a 10s/10s pressing and my fo... | |
| Classical speakers that do violins well?? My SF Guarneri Hommages reproduce violin and in fact all stringed instruments about as well as any speaker i have heard. | |
| Why are choke power supplies still not common? Ga5556, How do you feel the choke power supply compares with electrolytic caps? I know that chokes are more expensive, but are they also more immune to power line fluctuations?Electroid, I guess I was more curious about the supply in an amp vs. ot... | |
| Enlightened Audio designs Agree that it's good to see an EAD thread. I love my 7000 Mk 3 DAC and with my Philips CD80 as a transport and a Harmonic Tech Platinum Co-ax connect, this is a formidable combo. I've A/B'ed it against stuff from Musical Fidelity and the latest Pi... | |
| Best Small Speaker System You've ever Heard IMHO, my SF Guarneri Hommage's are the best small speaker I have ever heard. Most of my 'phile' friends have agreed that in my system, the speakers dissapear and the musician's are basically in the room. I have not heard the Sason's, but they appe... |
