| best sounding integrated for under 2500.00 "FYI,stores always love the brands they carry and their favorite model is the one the customer is thinking about buying. Just a thought." - TpreavesI can't argue this point in general terms, but the salesman knows that I have no plans to upgrade a... | |
| best sounding integrated for under 2500.00 My local hi fi store gives rave reviews to the Cambridge Audio Azur 840A that retails for about $1,800 and on my last trip to the store I inquired if they still had one in the store since I didn't see it anywhere and the response was that they did... | |
| Likely culprit for harshness at higher volumes? Here's a few CDs that I have that I consider to be some of my best recordings. I think they may be something that you'd enjoy listening to. Amazon.com sells all of them.Bach: The Brandenburgs - Jacques Loussier TrioViolin Solo - Ning FengHolst: Th... | |
| Likely culprit for harshness at higher volumes? Try hooking up an iPod or other mp3 player via a mini plug to RCA cable and see how that sounds. It shouldn't sound a clean as your CD player, but might help to determine if the CD player is part of the issue. You could even rip some music in WAV ... | |
| SACD & DSD Questions I read that link already and just read it again looking for what I missed. I see there are several DSD mastering formats, but other than SACD I don't see any other DSD formats that the average person can purchase. It just seems odd that PS3 would ... | |
| SACD & DSD Questions What are some other examples of DSD formats? I guess I thought that DSD was essentially the same as, or developed for, SACD. | |
| Likely culprit for harshness at higher volumes? Saru - There are differing views on jitter, and digital in general, that go to the extremes on both end. This is just another example of an audio topic where you need to be open to the idea that very few of us are correct about everything and the ... | |
| Test tracks for new equipment On second thought, song 1 can't be overlooked as a demo either. It also has great bass and even more high end details. It almost sounds like it's a surround recording on my system. One of my favorites to show off my system.Just get it. | |
| Test tracks for new equipment Here's one that I may be the only person on earth to use.RJ Helton - Real LifeI really only like songs 1, 3 & 9, but song 3 will tell me just about anything I need to know about a system. It has a pefect guitar and "low rider" bass. It really ... | |
| Likely culprit for harshness at higher volumes? Saru - I read through the manual for your pre-amp and didn't see anything like what I was referring to. On my truck subwoofer amp and also some of the amps in the audio system at my church have adjustments for the input sensitivity that can really... | |
| Likely culprit for harshness at higher volumes? Is there any adjustments on the pre-amp or amp that might be turned up too much. Isn't it possible to have the inputs too sensitive? | |
| Likely culprit for harshness at higher volumes? I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it's probably your speakers or the room. The cables you describe should work just fine. I recently compared a set of $2,000 Nordost cables to a $7 pair of hardware store cables and certainly couldn't tell... | |
| need to down size to monitors You might consider a slender floorstanding speaker. The Focal 816v retails for $2,000 and is very impressive. It really takes up the same amount of space as the bookshelf speakers in the series since the base on the stands is almost identical to w... | |
| Is One Subwoofer Really Not Appropriate For 2-Chnl My local Hi Fi store carries the Focal Utopia line and my absolute favorite listening experience is the Diablo speakers with a JL Audio subwoofer. I think it was the F113.I know that had one customer that matched the Diablo's with the Gotham G213 ... | |
| System versus live I don't think it's possible to make a small space sound like a large live venue no matter how the speakers sound. An interesting experiment would be to have a single instrument play on a stage and record that event, then replace the live artist wi... |
