| ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE QUESTION TO ANSWER ... Osibisa - Osibisa 1971"Criss-cross rhythms that explode with happiness..." 😊Michélle 🇿🇦 | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present @davisbryantAlmost completely agree with your take/tast. My only 🤔 caveat (these days...) is their predominant use of drivers like having cermaic membrane and metal dome tweeters. Looks and make/quality are right up my alley 😍!As for the Rowland g... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? One more take for the rather even big difference cables can make - though there're no guaranties here AT ALL! Its like a crap-shoot very often (most often?) really.The off-shoot of a more lucky strike I had just a few days back - now some of my up... | |
| DAC Measurements vs Actual Experience Yes, of course, perception and measurement can, and in many situation, actually WILL, disagree. WHY? In my experience it is something to take as a ’given’, something to accept - not easy actually. Something even more hard to learn is, the level of... | |
| DAC Measurements vs Actual Experience If any of either if these DACs uses bit-stripping for volume control, a pre WILL make a difference for sure!The ML390S processor e.g. uses resitor ladders in the analogue domain for volume control, and STILL, going straight (circumventing the volu... | |
| DAC Measurements vs Actual Experience In my very personal experience (with top ML components, and X350.5 PASS) the answer is a straight YES. A good preamp WILL make a difference, and the better measuring DAC might actually come to the fore!Seriously, Michélle 🇿🇦 | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? Ok, so no problem with oscillating. ✔️Those HPC 'cable guys' would have been Madrigal...Water under the bridge, eh?Michélle 🇿🇦 | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? @roberttdid Well, 10k is already a pretty low input impedance for a power amp, less than that, rather unusual... correct me if I'm wrong. It is my understanding that with VERY low capacitance pre-to-amp interconnects, which the HPC is, and and an ... | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? I just shared this post on a much older thread, but I think it is also of relevance here? So, yesterday I purchased a 3 meter Madrigal HPC XLR interconnect set (for peanuts 🥜 $173.50 ! ). After having now looked at this helical planar construction... | |
| Audioquest Fire or Synergistic Research Atmosphere Level 4 @blamere I realise being somewhat late to this here item. However, yesterday I purchased a 3 meter Madrigal HPC XLR interconnect (for peanuts 🥜! ). Having now looked at this helical planar construction (behind the connectors) shows how incredibly ... | |
| A warm DAC? Mark Levinson No.36 or No.36S. Both are R2R DACs - if you can find one used. They also use Class A analogue output stages and are fully balanced. 1995 state of the art. Good resolution, definately not 'edgy', nice tight very good bass. So long you... | |
| XLR cable with warmth without losing resolution wallyaudio +1 — seriously! Michélle 🇿🇦 | |
| Who says cables don't make a difference? @erik_squires +1! Of COURSE cables make a difference, always did - the question is HOW MUCH?!? $6000? - $12000?? Even when occupying the right income group, is seriously beyond my comprehension. Even if they'd be made of solid Au - and assembled b... | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present @yoby Too homely looking - somehow... Seem too have this 'green renewable energy look' about them (why do I think knitting coarse lambs-wool cardigans now?) or made of bamboo or so? L = 1/(SQ - X) ? 🤔 Also, if more than one tweeter - mo betta hav... | |
| How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present @isochronism Shoosh now. 😃 All we'd come to was, that they inversly proportional in looks to sound quality ¦ SQ = 1/L ... ✔️No more ⛽ or 🔥 is needed to solve the issue, so... now just enjoy the music 🎶 👋🤣Michélle 🇿🇦 |
