| Differences between cd transports? astel, please tell me you are joking!!!!!!!!! With a meter | |
| Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here! eliz. I feel you girlfriend. I basically gave my PPP away after having it fully rebuilt but still had fan issues, even when the system wasn't playing. I just didn't feel right selling it for $800, so I sold it for $300 with full buyer beware cauti... | |
| Differences between cd transports? clearthinker +1!astel. apples and oranges. Data is not the same as the many nuances involved with hi-end audio reproductionIt is up to the designer to know their science. I have seen raw cable tested for directionality resistance. It mattersAlthou... | |
| Differences between cd transports? Geoff yes, yes, and yes. What naysayers fail to understand is strands of wire are pulled/drawn through a die, rough edges are bent over on a microscopic levelMany cable companies put direction arrows on their jackets, so where does this silliness ... | |
| Who makes great active preamps ? Tube or solid state or hybrid. Having recently experienced what a major IC upgrade can mean, I wonder what ICs the negative commenters were usingAnyway of you are on a sub $1500 budget, you might get lucky and find a used Audio Alchemy DDP-1 + PS 5. It is a balanced design (als... | |
| Differences between cd transports? Geoff, yes balancing is critical, especially when using your springs | |
| Differences between cd transports? fred, the Oppo by a wide margin (like a torquie V8 it has a lot moe low end drive) versus a sweet turbo 4 cylinder. Keep i mind my 105 has a upgraded LPM (easy to install bought from ebay) PLUS the incoming wire rhodium IEC this makes a big differ... | |
| Differences between cd transports? I have an Oppo 105 that I was using with a quality WireWorld toslink. I upgraded it’s input IEC and silver wire to the power supply and later I replaced the OEM power supply with a Linear Power Module, but was not happy with the sound, so I bought... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? lol | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Now, after a solid week of further break in of the M700s + Stellar GC dac/pre, I invited a friend over with a ton of live music experience. He heard the system with the Audio Alchemy kit, and did not hold back his valid criticisms. He did not h... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Cyloc, as a very happy owner of M700s paired with Stellar GC, 200 hours isn't near enough, unless break in is with a break in disc. Im looking forward to his responseAnd yes, cables & ICs matter- A LOT. Last night I spun The Eagles The Very Be... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Update:I have 2 burn in discs that I use. For some reason I neglected to use them as soon as I inserted the PSA kit. Last night I hit replay all and let one spin for at least 5 hours (muted of course), then again this morning for a couple more. I ... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I wouldn't consider it for a system aspiring to hi-end Hattor, and Tortuga aer 2 I highly recommendAlso (and I learned this the hard way) one needs to make sure the impedance is a match | |
| Why do some manufacturers reverse preamp polarity in the first place? Ralph, I respectfully disagree. Well over 2 decades ago I learned 2 things (that were only accessible at a reasonable price from PS Audio), things that should be universal if a product is to be called ’High END" * differentially balanced AND * eit... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? Tim, of course. I have a few torture dics- Annie Lennox Annie Lennox (solo) Jennifer Nettles Playing With Fire and Wilson Philips. It had been a couple weeks since playing JN and although the poor recordings sucked, they sucked less, as the M700s ... |
