| BAT vk-3ix and Parasound Halo A21 match? ZD542, my only option is to try gear since there are no stores near me nor anyone else with the type of gear I would like to hear that could let me borrow it. But what i have found years ago, even if I could hear the equipment in a store, if it wa... | |
| BAT vk-3ix and Parasound Halo A21 match? Yes i did read the stereophile article and did read his concerns. On the other hand the Thiels only go down to 32 hz so .2'at 20 hz seems ssomewhat irrelevant. I use Purist audio cables which have low capacitance and are only 14' in length anyway.... | |
| BAT vk-3ix and Parasound Halo A21 match? How is the bass | |
| BAT vk-3ix and Parasound Halo A21 match? Not sure why I keep double posting when I ask a question from my I pad. Sorry | |
| tube pre amp and Krell FPB 600 I realized that this is an older thread but I am concerned. I've purchased a vk-3ix (have not received it yet) used. However reading Haroon's comment on how it fried his JC 1 because it doesn't have coupling caps concerns me because I have a A21, ... | |
| Preamps waste of money? I've been curious about many aspects of this thread for some time. I use a NAD M51 DAC as a source and preamp straight to my SS amp through balanced interconnects. I've tried using an active SS preamp before but I always loose something in the pro... | |
| Purist Audio Break In - Venustas If I had to guess about 120 hours at low volume | |
| Purist Audio Break In - Venustas The cables have indeed settled down and are now the same as what I heard with the borrowed pair. Man the system is sounding quite sweet! | |
| The color of audio and ambassadorship I wouldn't say I try to convert them, I just simply answer any questions and let them hear a difference for themself. Conversion is on them. I do find that once they hear a difference they seem genuinely interested and want to know more, and I'm h... | |
| The color of audio and ambassadorship Yes, Rrog, I fear you are correct. | |
| The color of audio and ambassadorship Wow. I didn't realize there were so many cynics here, but I guess I should not be surprised, it is a lonesome sport. I guess we shouldn't be surprised when the hi end stores close and the music quality goes completely to pot, nobodies out there pr... | |
| Purist Audio Break In - Venustas Ah, good to know Dhcod!! Thanks. | |
| Purist Audio Break In - Venustas What would happen sonically if the speaker cables were install backwards, meaning the tag was at the speaker end vs the amp in? Could this contribute to brightness? I'm thinking maybe I had them installed the wrong way when I was auditioning them. | |
| Blackness - how quiet does it need to be? "I knew that some recordings have a lot of processing but I never knew that lots of recordings have white noise pumped into them."The hiss I'm talking about is only on a few select cd recordings of older music. Like my Miles Davis, Kind of Blue HD... | |
| Blackness - how quiet does it need to be? Thank you Kijanki. I do believe I get the gist in what you are saying. Since there can only be jitter when a musical signal is present, then noise can't be heard as a "hiss" per say, but as distortion on some level in the music reproduction. |
