| WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips Thanks for the tip, Chuck. That's exactly how I did it, too!I do have a question for those with the Hi Fi Supreme fuses: did you put them on the metal end (not on the end itself, but the metal part of the fuse that covers the end, or did you keep ... | |
| WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips Tbg:Thanks for the insight. My chips arrived today: both the fuse and speaker "chips."I agree with Lacee that the directionality of fuses is more obvious with the chips. I have the HiFi Supremes and I most definitely heard the difference in direct... | |
| WA-Quantum GmbH's Quantum Chips These chips remind me of the Combak Resonance Devices that were featured back in TAS in Issue 75/76. I bought them at the time, and put them on my JVC XLZ-1010TN player. What a change in the sonics! It seemed to clear up fuzziness from the sound a... | |
| Arcam DV139 vs Oppo 95; any thoughts? Oh, the CD players that have passed thru my system - as a past reviewer for TAS, an editor at the late Fi magazine, and a writer for Ultraaudio.com) have been an Accuphase (forget the model number), Meridian 508.24 and Bryston BDA-1 DAC. The JVC i... | |
| Arcam DV139 vs Oppo 95; any thoughts? P.S. No, the Arcam does NOT surpass the Oppo in sounding "like music." The Oppo resembles the JVC XL-Z1010TN (which I have, along with the 1050 model), and they surpass nearly ANY CD player I've EVER had in sounding like music. And this is with No... | |
| Arcam DV139 vs Oppo 95; any thoughts? Yes, I have a FMJ 23 and had the Oppo BDP 83. Oppo is fuller and richer-sounding. Slighter higher resolution. I love my Arcam, but was highly impressed with the Oppo. | |
| Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source? This is an interesting thread.I had a BDA-1 at one point, but didn't really "hear" music as I am accustomed to hearing it. I bought an Oppo 83, which i eventually returned as well, yet I found the Oppo more "musical" than the Bryston. I'm not spea... | |
| How Black is Your Background? A "black background" refers to the absence of noise, allowing each instrument to exist apart from other instruments surrounding it, ALONG WITH its own pocket of the ambience of the venue. It generally means, as Ablang, put it, a lack of RFI/EMI, w... | |
| Avalon toe-in? Wig:What are your room dimensions, if I may ask? | |
| Doge 8 and Conrad Johnson ET-3 I've heard the ET 3 and while I would say the CJ has a full mid, upper bass and lower midrange, this is not less "neutral." People seem to have the idea that live music is "neutral." Live music has color, and texture. A preamp that de-natures the ... | |
| For money Quality which is better arcam or NAD? Both are excellent, considering the costs.I've had the Arcam Alpha 6, and still have an FMJ22. NADs: C320BEE, C325BEE, C326BEE.The Arcam has a more extended - although a little dry - treble. It is the more transparent of the two, but also lighter ... | |
| Shunyata Triton I agree about the ZiTron Coba power cords. They are a significant step forward from the last generation of power cords, let me tell you. And to be able to get the cheap line of speaker cable (Cobra, and I meant "relatively cheap") and hear its low... | |
| Synergitsic Research Elements or Shunyata Ztron? "Numerous versions of there (their) power conditioners"? I've seen them come out with different lines (i.e. The Guardian line) of power conditioners, but Shunyata usually changes their line every 3 years, so i'm not sure what you mean by there bei... | |
| Changes to Shunyata's power cord line up? So, has anyone else gotten any of Shunyata's new Z-Tron series power cords? I'm sure I'm not the only person who has them. I got a 3rd Z-Tron, which, after putting them on the CD player, and preamp, I put on the power outlet (Quantum with the 2 QV... | |
| Upgrading Fuses And....hereeeee's ...Glennie!Wow, I'm really becoming addicted to the HiFi fuses. Just for the fun of it (and because I KNOW what the do to the sound), I changed the fuse in the PS Audio Power Plant 300 about 10 minutes ago. I shall attempt to rem... |
