| What is wrong with my system? NewI found something interesting. I have two cd players connected to my system now, the ML 5101 and an older Arcam cd72.The Arcam cd72 has a fuller bass, warmer midrange sound to it. The negative is that there is not as much musical separation.T... | |
| Audioquest Water XLR Interconnects UPDATE… so this is what I’ve found thus far. I’ve gone back and forth on now 3 filters and can reproduce the same conclusions.HYBRID FAST MINIMUM PHASEI’ve found this filter to be very resolving especially on vocals. Allows any sibilance to be m... | |
| Audioquest Water XLR Interconnects I've heard that my 802d's are a bright speaker. I auditioned a pair of Focal Sopra 3's and thought they were equally as bright.Any suggestions for a neutral speaker that are as full range as these other two and capable of filling a room with sound? | |

| Would you Upgrade? I appreciate everyone's input, but if we could just focus on my original post.In my selection, I also need a speaker that will make poor recordings and older recordings sound musical.I had found that my Thiel 3.7's made anything but good records s... | |
| Would you Upgrade? Overall, I thought after 11 years with the same speakers it be nice to change things up a bit.Trouble is, about 15 years ago I changed things up by purchasing a pair of Thiel 3.7’s and they never worked out for me.If I were to ask myself what I do... | |
| Would you Upgrade? I agree, that a home demo would be the best approach. Unfortunately, the dealer is about 100 miles from my home, and the speakers weigh about 150 lbs a piece. They would have to be delivered and returned. Also, they only have their floor models.As... | |
