| What type of copper is best for power cable? I haven't tried buying Marinco connectors yet. There is a local representative I can call on Monday. Will see then.The odd things is I've been going all over town to find a decent female plug but can't seem to find any store that carry them. The o... | |
| First pre/pro and hopefully last Audio Refinement Pre2 Dsp is an excelent Pre/Pro that sounds great and only costs you 1400.00 new. Though it doesn't have as many features as others but the sound is top notch. All analog inputs can be bypassed by there is a 5.1 input for SACD or ... | |
| Full sounding Bookshelf speakers music only Epos ESL3 for 300 per pair and beautiful looking. These have been well recieved by both British and American press. They are Stereophile recommended. | |
| How much preamp will improve I think you can have the best of two worlds by having a preamp with a HT bypass. It would be a bit cumbersome to operate but I don't mind (having no wife yet :-)). | |
| Speakers for Creek 5230SE Int. Amp. I agreee with Mattybumpkin. Epos probably has one of the best mid range out there regardless of price. Vocal reproduction is first rate. I believe EPOS is part of Creek. Check out this possitive review from HiFi choice.http://www.hifichoice.co.uk/... | |
| How much preamp will improve Kr4: It's only a suspicion or a guess from my part. It usually sounds fine when I am using the Nad541. When I am using the Cary303, I feel like the 303 stresses the system a bit. And the only thing I can think of is my preamp stage is not up to th... | |
| Are your systems more Plato or Aristotle? Eldartford, Ozfly, Buscis2, Shubertmaniac: pretty much everything and everyone is either Platonic or Aristotelian and that includes Arnold Schwarznegger, Audrey Hepburn, and Hegel. | |
| Harmonic Technology Pro 11+:any opinions? I agree with most of the posts here. The pro9 is a bit on the warm/romantic side of neutral. It has the equivalent effect of upgrading to either an preamp or amp. I had a chance to audition the Audioquest type4 but the pro9 is much more musical an... | |
| Epos M12.2 vs. Von Schweikert VR 1 vs. GMA Europas Your problem could be the Audioquest Type4. I had a chance to home-audition them and found they lack "life and air" as if they overly smooth out the sound. They also tend to attenuate the mid-range. | |
| Details don't mean a thing I guess I was a bit frustrated when I made my comment.I don't mean to take on the extreme stand on the matter.I agree with all your responses.Detail is good if handled correctly but that is a HUGH "if".I really don't have unlimitted amount of reso... | |
| Details don't mean a thing I've read from a book somewhere that says a human conscious mind can only process a maximum of about 8 bits of information per second (they collected a bunch of data and this is their conclusion) therefore most of the amount of data must be proces... | |

| Interconnect to tame bright sounding CDP I am currently using Van Den Hul D102 MkIII cables.I've read somewhere that they can be bright sounding though I dont' really know. I appreciate all your feedbacks. | |
| Oversampling vs upsampling Statistically, I would think that it "smooths" out the signal at the output. Having two dac is equivalent to summing the output level of the DAc, average them (like (a + b)/2), then send them out to the output. It's like taking the average of two ... | |
| Oversampling vs upsampling By the way, the number 24 in 24/96 has nothing to do withupsampling or oversampling. It simplies indicate the digital filter (or DAC) would convert the original 16 bits into 24 bits. Number of bit and sampling rate are mutually exclusive. You can ... |
