| Why do my new Transparent cables make my system sound muffled? Thanks. I dont pretend to know all the factors that go into the sound produced by different cables with different systems. I just know what I like and can afford. If I had $10k to spend, it sure as hell would not be on interconnects, especially wh... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Thanks, Reubent. Concrete Blond. Holy s**t, Batman!. Bloodletting is amazing. I cant believe I have lived all these years without hearing about this band. What have I been living in a cave? I wish it were a little better produced. But, well worth ... | |
| Why do my new Transparent cables make my system sound muffled? Yes, thank you. I have tried everything I could. I am sure on a different system the Transparents would be perfect. But, my Mackenzies came today, and on my system, they sound vastly better in every way. I have really varied music tastes. Yesterda... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? This is my favorite place online. So much great music I might never discover by myself. Thank you all! Today, I bought three cds that I learned about here. Listening to Niel Young Unplugged right now. Wow, whomever recommended it was so right. Kee... | |
| Melody Gardot, Live in Europe Please excuse my ignorance. I dont know what love format is. I dont know if it is available in Vinyl, as that will be my next round of upgrades. But, it does have a lovely photo of the back of a woman on the cover of the cd. | |
| Melody Gardot, Live in Europe Thanks arafiq. That will be my next buy. I agree she sounds pretty different from Krall. But, one female live cd led me to another. Gardot is darker and has a softer voice. I just really like live stuff, and hers is darn good. Its amazing how good... | |
| Why do my new Transparent cables make my system sound muffled? The Rotel 1580 amp is quite a step up in SQ from the 1075 it replaced, by the way, not just in power, which it certainly has with 350 watts per channel, but in speed and range as well. I am not sure why, but it is a higher quality amp, not that th... | |
| Why do my new Transparent cables make my system sound muffled? Thanks, Johnny. I will probably end up with all one maker. Right now I have QED XT40 speaker cables that impress me quit a bit for the money. They beat the comparably priced Type 4 AQ cables in one review. Super strong and fast bass with clear hig... | |
| Melody Gardot, Live in Europe “Bad News” is just plain mind-blowing, like a lot of the good parts of a great blues song, a great jazz sound, and a roucas female ballad, all boiling around my living room for 11 minutes. Left me breathless. | |
| Melody Gardot, Live in Europe Oh my. I am listening to the 2nd cd. Even better. “March for Mingus” has piano, base and wind sections that are a blast and make me proud of my little system. Best $20 I have spent in a while. Darker and livelier in places than Krall’s cd. But, in... | |
| Diana Krall Music - that is why I spent a lot money, at least to me, on the best system I could afford. It is why I am on this forum - to learn about good music and how to make it sound amazing, and maybe share what little I can offer. Let’s let the beauty of... | |
| Why do my new Transparent cables make my system sound muffled? By the way, bluesy41, which Tara Labs would you recommend for someone who has to save up for even budget (but decent) cables? Thanks | |
| Why do my new Transparent cables make my system sound muffled? I want to thank everyone for their great advice. I have tried much of it. Finally, i tried some Chord Clearway cables between the cd player and the pre, and even with just my Evergreens between the pre and amp, they sound better to me than any com... | |
| Entering the world of audio, help with first setup- speakers to pair with Peachtree 220SE I am only a little further down the same road. But, at least in my limited experience, I would also not worry as much about matching to the Peachtree. I would get the speakers I want, at least for now, If you are like most us afflicted with audiop... | |
| Why do my new Transparent cables make my system sound muffled? The Rotel RC-1580 preamp arrived, and I hooked her up. I cant say the sound is perfect (is it ever?), but for some reason the preamp did make a pretty big difference. I will have to listen to more and different music to evaluate more. But, now it ... |
