| Argh Too Many Choices To my knowledge there's a switch at the back of the preamp that will allow you to select different gain settings. Stupid to ask, but you obviously have tried the lowest setting right?Are you set on your speakers? I have no knowledge of the Runes b... | |
| Transport for EMM Labs DCC2 When is your timeline for the CDSD purchase? I don't own the DCC2 or the DAC6 but I would imagine it giving you more than just a decent redbook sound. It really depends on your spending habits. I'm not one for quick buying and selling so if I'm ab... | |
| upgrade of lamm/wilson What kind of things are you wanting an upgrade on? Going from the 7s to a horn or Kharma will give you an entirely different sound. That's for sure. | |
| Sony SCD-C 555ES I think it has a lot to do with the source material rather than the player. It is a well-known fact even among SACD enthusiasts that there are many SACDs out there that sounds like crap. Fortunately, there are more and more SACDs that really show ... | |
| Which Digital Choice? The Meitner is in a class of its own. You can give Jtinn a shout, he's probably heard the Wadia as well and has substantial amount of experience with both the Meitner and the Audio Aero. There are many here who have gone from the Audio Aero to the... | |
| Kharma 3.1 Vs 3.2 - sonically differences First of all, archaic doesn't mean it's worse. Second of all, the modifications to the tweeter done by Kharma is partly what makes the higher end Kharmas so special. With the 3.2 you get the same tweeter that was used in the older Exquisites. Plus... | |
| Kharma SDSS. How to use it? I agree with Frank. Higher seems to sound better. And differences in height is quite dramatic. I have a pair of 3.2s as well. I tried angling the speakers up and having the fronts higher and the back lower and angling the speakers down by having t... | |
| Bryston 7 BSST or Sim Audio Moon W 10 for PMC MB1 I think the Sim Audio and Classe amps are more refined than the Bryston amps but I wouldn't call them warmer. If anything they are slightly colder sounding and more clinical. The Classe CAM350s are more refined amps than the Brystons but they're a... | |
| Paradigm Speaker Question: The Studio series is quite a step up from the Monitor series. | |
| Kharma, Wilson Sophia, JM Labs I'm confussed???? You traded your boat for a sound system? You should definitely talk to Mikelavigne! :DI don't have the experience or knowledge of Fmpnd, Panorama, and Mike but for what it's worth I have heard the old JM Labs at a time when stores were clearing th... | |
| Kharma 3.2 Enigma The enigma is suppose to make the 3.2s better in every way. Do they still have 3.2s without the enigma upgrade? Saxman, having the system that you have, why bother saving the $2000? :D But seriously it's probably the best $2000 you can spend on yo... | |
| Bryston 7 BSST or Sim Audio Moon W 10 for PMC MB1 Definitely go for the Brystons. Not that my selling of my Brystons have anything to do with it, Bryston amps and PMCs are just synergistically matched. Hearing the Bryston amps with the PMC IB1s and the MB2s was one of the main reasons why I picke... | |
| XLR to RCA conversion Well I have a balanced Placette linestage which I can choose to have single ended inputs installed. So I'm deciding whether to get that modification or simply get a RCA to XLR cable. | |
| XLR to RCA conversion I am having the same concerns. I have a fully balanced preamp but currently a single ended source. I'm wondering whether it's better to get the preamp to have a single ended input or simply buy a single ended to XLR cable. | |
| Merlin VSM-M or VSM-MX vs. Kharma CRM3.2 series First of all, I just want to say that music is music. If it sounds good it sounds good. I play the saxophone. During my final highschool concert, I had a long solo so I played some multiphonics and fiddled around in the altissimo register. Saxopho... |
