| Have you tried the Furutech AND the Acme fuses? Thanks, I do have Audio Horizons fuses, too. However, there has been an interesting development in the past two days, which I posted in another thread.My system - for a long while - seemed undynamic,and the dimensionality of images was close to n... | |
| Bass is not enough !!! Speaker problem? Speaker cable? Power Amp? PC of Power Amp? You are correct - to a point, so let me amend that, then.Room INFLUENCES EVERYTHING. Even HP, if you read his TAS review of the WATT/Puppies in issue 65, seems not to have gotten the best out of the WATTS, as contradicted by Dave Wilson's comment ... | |
| Bass is not enough !!! Speaker problem? Speaker cable? Power Amp? PC of Power Amp? Well, your room is certainly big enough. Do you have acoustic treatment in the corners (bass traps)? And at the first and second reflection points?Also, you do need to pull the speakers out in the room and away from the side walls if you have not ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... This is interesting. I've been using different fuses, since (and I had to come on here to see when I first started posting about fuses: senior moment…) 2012.Just 4-6 days ago, I noticed that my system sounded really, REALLY bright, especially on M... | |
| Have you tried the Furutech AND the Acme fuses? My bad. While I don't disagree with what I wrote above, I DID change the orientation of the fuses in the NAD, and the "thinness" in the tone changed. It is still not as rich as I've heard the NAD (not euphonic, just, again, how it sounds in Carneg... | |
| Have you tried the Furutech AND the Acme fuses? I agree with Spacer. I have just commented on another thread that there is a loss of tone color when, just to improve it, I bought 5 fuses for my NAD C325 BEE integrated. I initially thought it clearer, but I also noticed a thinness to the sonics ... | |
| Review: Furutech TF-10A Pure Transmission Fuse Tweak This is very interesting.I'm going to suggest that the Furutech is not universal in all applications. I purchased several for an NAD integrated. Now, keep in mind that an NAD has a rather "rich" sound, weighted as it is towards the midrange and ba... | |
| Gold or Rhodium I've had both. I found the Gold to have a "softer" sound, more akin to what you would get further back in Carnegie Hall, the hall I know best.The Rhodium makes it sound as though you are closer, with the result being that the music seems "faster" ... | |
| Hegel H300 I am in possession, not of the H300, but the H80. I'm a bit disturbed that there is less mention of how instruments and voices sound, or any allusion to how it sounds compared to say, Audra McDonald at the Met, or Bob Dylan live, or a symphony at ... | |
| Heimdall 2 vs. Frey 2 The Heimdall and Frey 2 are not in the same league. I have Tyr2 as well.same "house sound," but not same quality. | |
| Nola Contender & Totem Forest comparison? well, I have a pair of the Esprit (similar to the Elite and Viper speakers, but with only one woofer), and i can't say that their treble is better than the Contenders - with one caveat: the tweeters in more recent versions of the Contender do not ... | |
| Opinions on the Nola Contender please Nolas flat? No life?!? Not the Nolas I've known and loved, and that includes 6 different models, including the Contenders. BUT.The earlier Contenders and the newer Contenders sound as though the tweeter is voiced differently. The earlier ones were... | |
| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp If a component is transparent to the recording, then there is no reason it cannot sound warm, if such is the quality of the recording.Mercury Living Presence recordings can sound quite warm, and are ALSO extremely transparent. I've owned a good de... | |
| Audio Horizons Platinum Reference Fuse That should have read, "I had forgotten where I put the BAG"…hate typos... | |
| Audio Horizons Platinum Reference Fuse Wow, I had NOT looked at Bazza's initial post before I posted this, although it IS what caused me to buy the fuse in the first place. It seems that he, too, heard the lack of emotional involvement in the fuse in certain applications. Conversely, h... |
