| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Grannyring - what happens if you reverse you cables?If a cable is reversed when there isn't an audiophile around to know about it, does it really matter? Is this significant enough to recognize a change without knowledge of said change? I can easi... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction We may not know the mechanism or just not be willing to consider that the change isn't the gear. How do we explain changes in the way we perceive the sound when nothing in our gear has changed, at least nothing we can control?If my gear wasn't in ... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction I think the configuration of any shielding has potential to be directional, but this seems like it should be more of an interconnect issue as most speaker cables are not shielded, right? Maybe the geometry of the speaker cable is such that it isn'... | |
| Dynaudio vs Focal vs Paradigm As much as I LOVE the Focal sound, if you didn't appreciate the Paradigm I wouldn't be surprised if your preference was for something other than Focal. The Focal tweeter has a very prominant sound. I have the 836v and did like the Paradigm speaker... | |
| NAIM and Focal Speakers I should also note that I had a chance to hear my Yaqin next to one of the Naim all-in-one type units that cost multiples of the Yaqin and I was supremely unimpressed. It wasn't with Focal speakers, but the Yaqin clearly was the better sound in th... | |
| NAIM and Focal Speakers You might consider something like a Krell S-300i. I love the Krell / Focal pairing from Chorus to Utopia speakers.I have the Chorus 836v speakers and have been extremely impressed with my Yaqin MC-30L amifier that has the upgraded blue tubes. I ca... | |
| Would silver cables beat UP-OCC copper? If you are inquiring from a scientific point of view, it really comes down to how conductive the material is all other things being equal. Silver is more conductive than copper, but if the AWG of the silver cable is less the copper cable is likely... | |
| Which DAC If her goal is to stream isn't the quality of the music already compromised. I am not sure any "upgrades" will have any value for her. Make sure your audiophile tastes don't waste her money. What kind of amplifier and speakers are in play? | |
| HELP slight floor vibration auditory vibrate noise My subwoofer on spikes made the laminate floor straight up rattle against the subfloor. Definitely isolate for me. | |
| HELP slight floor vibration auditory vibrate noise Do your speakers have spikes? Is your floor laminate?I have laminate floors and had a major vibration when my sub was setup down firing on spikes. It rattled the floor. I changed it to forward firing on the rubber feet and it went away. Without th... | |
| Is $3000 pushing the limits for a geat monitor?? A monitor can sound as impressive as a large floor stander, but it is apples and oranges. a great monitor can sound better than a lesser floor stander, but they will always sound different and have different range capabities. My favorite listening... | |
| Will the sound quality deminish over the years? Zd542 - I didn't suggest that the change wasn't real. I did, however suggest that when his perspective changed he no longer viewed the Marantz as lacking highs, but rather have a more full mid and bass range. The sound of the Marantz was constant,... | |
| The Plasmatron - more linear output voltage Almarg - I had hoped that you would post. I certainly don't consider my EE friend the end all for audio design, but he does have some experience with amplifier design and enjoys audio as a hobby as well. EE's certainly don't know everything, but a... | |
| Will the sound quality deminish over the years? Nonoise - I like how your perspective shifted from the Marantz lacking the highs to it adding mid and bass. The change in perspective caused you to no longer think of it as not sounding as good as the NAD. Now that your assumption has changed for ... | |
| Wadia 860 DAC for Digital Audio system??? If you have any doubts, just take it t a store with you and ask to come it side by side with a different DAC. You may or may not hear a difference. |
