| Power Cord Wall to Conditioner Has anyone tried the Audio Art Statement 1 from wall to power conditioner? Their online literature suggests a heavy degree of shielding. | |
| Old audiophile with new digital hearing aids My audiologist obtained a pair of General Hearing hearing aids at my request. We tried to obtain the "Musician's" model. The unit sent to us may or may not be that model -- the manual does not identify the model, and I've not been able to find any... | |
| Hearing Aid Confusion Update, for those who may be interested. My local audiologist, at my request, ordered a General Hearing hearing aid model known as the "Musicians." It came in, and was presumably programed at the factory to my audiogram. But because of some sort o... | |
| Hearing Aid Confusion Dr. Wong, Thank you for the information and good advice. I have already taken steps that accord with your suggestions. I have seen both an ENT specialist and audiologist, had an audiogram charted, and am now awaiting the arrival of a "Musician's" ... | |
| Hearing Aid Confusion Through computer research I've learned that General Hearing makes what seems to be a less complex version of its "Musician's" hearing aid, the Simplicity. The Simplicity comes in several models, one of them being the "Hi Fi EP. " The EP seems to s... | |
| Hearing Aid Confusion In reply to Buconero117: I became an audiophile hobbyist many years ago, when my hearing was quite good. My processing of the higher frequencies deteriorated slowly. I recently tried out and compared several 75 ohm digital cables, and I had no tro... | |
| Pass Labs XP 30 VS Ayre KXR Pre I did try both preamps in my system for more than a week for each unit. Each preamp was coupled with a Soulution 710 amp, YG Anat Ref 2 Studios, a Meridian 808.2, and some other source units. I also tried out a number of other preamps, ss and tube... | |
| Soulution 710 vs vitus ss-101 mk2 Yes, I traded in the Burmester for the Soulution. I'm not sure that doing so was entirely rational, since the Burmester is a superb amp. But I got carried away. | |
| Soulution 710 vs vitus ss-101 mk2 I own a 710, but I have never heard the Vitus SS-101 mk2, so I cannot offer a comparative opinion. For what it may be worth, I can state that I am very pleased with the Soulution amp. It is, however, very heavy, as is the wooden box in which it is... | |
| Shindo and Joule Electra Preamps I want to complicate further a comparison between Shindo and Joule preamps. Which might sound better when coupled to a high quality solid state amplifier? | |
| Are you too old to be an audiophile? As a general observation, hearing acuity does diminish over the years. In consequence, a twenty year old with "normal" hearing for his age group will hear more of what a good audio system has to offer than an eighty year old with "normal" hearing ... | |
| Are you too old to be an audiophile? The "scientific fact" that my/our hearing isn't what it used to be is actually fairly complex. Some relatively young persons have degraded hearing in consequence of prolonged or frequent exposure to rock concerts, jack hammers, and so on. Genetic ... | |
| Mariachi CDs Thanks. No, I don't have a DVD player. I can play CDs and SACDs. | |
| Soulution 710 Amplifier and 720 Preamplifier Audiobrian, Thanks for updating us. It is satisfying to have some conclusion to a narrative -- though in the case of audiophiles, the conclusion to one narrative may mark the beginning of another. In any case, congratulations on getting what sound... | |
| Meridian 808.2i vs Ayon CD-5? Talk2me, what does it mean to say "a better unit"? Better in what way? I have heard that the 808.3 will better connect to other Meridian equipment and that it will prove easy to connect to computer driven music collections. But that by itself does... |
