| Holographic imaging I don't know for sure whether the H Cat does what it claims or not since I've never heard.But my understanding from their web site is that they sold early models of a device that requires adjustment to work right without any way to perform the nee... | |
| Help mismatch maybe? Atmasphere,OK, but the Quad 21Ls in question here are not electrostats. They are conventional box designs (2 way floorstanders) with a 6 ohm nominal impedance, I believe. | |
| Help mismatch maybe? "OTOH, look at a B&W 802. There is not a tube amp in the world that will play bass right on that speaker- you need transistors, as the woofers are running at 3 db less efficiency as the midrange and tweeters are. You need an amp that will doub... | |
| Musical Fidelity A3cr amp -- Bridgeable? No, unfortunately, it is not bridgeable. | |
| whats the best addition u have bought for system FM tuners on high end stereo systems are obsolete now I believe as a result of high fidelity digital music devices like the Roku and Squuezebox. I'd keep a good portable or tabletop FM radio around though.But beware, you can spend hours just surfi... | |
| My head hurts.... The future is in digital servers.Keep the CD player and take a look at the Roku Soundbridge to broaden your variety of music available. If you have a high speed Internet connection, you can use it to play countless very decent sounding Internet ra... | |

| Reagrding the Ohm Walsh F & A Now Walsh TLS-I, II Dale,Congrats on the web site!I'm in process of reading through it.I've got modded Ohm F cabinets from Ohm with Walsh 5 series 3 drivers that pop on and off. Could your re-furbished Walsh drivers work well with these without mods? I would love to ... | |
| Magico Mini 2 vs Kharma Midi Exquisit vs MBL 101s I've only heard the Magicos and liked them a lot but they cost too much for something not full range.MBL and Kharma might have a chance but I have never heard either. | |
| NAD: Old -vs- New I have a NAD 20 watt receiver from the 80's. a 7020 I believe, that I use for a spare amp/pre/tuner as needed.It packs a lot of punch for a little guy, but I noticed some grainy highs and a lack of smoothness for the first time when I put it into ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Rushton,Very nice program for an enjoyable last day of vacation! | |
| Help mismatch maybe? NAD is not always the smoothest on top end, but lack of bass in this system does surprise me also. I doubt lack of bass is due to teh NAD. I've heard them I believe on NAD electronics in a sizable showroom and did not notice an inherent bass probl... | |
| The focus and air lie We're audiophiles! Of course we're mad! Why else would we throw so much time, money and energy into this?You were expecting??? | |
| Help mismatch maybe? Atmasphere,I understand your argument from other threads, I think, but aren't 99% of our systems technically "mismatched" based on your criteria? What about an amp that doubles into 4 and 2 ohms better than the NAD, say a good Class D or a modest ... | |
| Is a DAC for mp3/AAC noticeably beneficial? Dstrimbu,I have just started experimenting with a music server and the Roku Soundbridge. I find your post very encouraging!Yesterday, I installed the Firefly server, ripped a test disk to .wav using loss less FLAC encoding, and am able to plback i... |
