| First Sound Presence and Rogue 99 I agree with Drubin and have heard a First Sound Deluxe 2.0 MKII (the newest version). I have tried to listen three preamps including CJ-16LS, Emotive Audio Erato and First Sound MKII, which hooked up to my Berning amp. I would choose the First So... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC1 Vs ECD1 DAC+Transport Actually the damping factor in a stand alone player is also an important factor in preventing vibration control. The transport I am sure is lighter than the EMC1 itself (55 lbs). I own an EMC1 UP and just added to the player Cromolin vibration con... | |
| power cords for Audio Research gears Elrod EPS-2 Signature and EPS-3 Signature are the best of the best. I do not have ACR gears but friend of mine he said he uses Elrod power cords and he loves them. If you can afford a top of the line Elrod Statement, which I currently have for my ... | |
| Preamps, Whats the difference, Active & Passive ? I am looking a preamp (tubes) for my system since I run directly from CDP (Electrocompaniet EMC1 UP, which has balanced and single ended- I use balanced one)to amp with volume control (Berning ZH-270, which only has RCA). I need help to find any t... | |
| Tube dampers? Give a try from a Shun Mook products called valve resonators for any size of tubes. An incredible vibration control (tube microphonics) almost makes the sound crystal clear and quiet background with lively music. | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC1 CDP owner's suggestions Thanks for your suggestion, Subaruguru! I actually own the latest version of EMC1 (called EMC1 UP). I had used Nordost Valhalla and Quattro-Fil ICs but I still do not like the sound until I connect the CDP with XLR the sound incredibly have a huge... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC1 CDP owner's suggestions Thanks for your suggestions. Ljgj is right. I firstly hooked up directly from my EMC1 to Berning amp with volume control via single ended the sound was not transparent and high-and midranges sounded roll-off. Since I switched to XLR by using XLR i... | |
| Help -- my system is too bright If you have tried the Cardas Golden Reference interconnects but you still get the harshness and/or brightness then you should consider Shunyata Black Mamba or Python power cord and need to use Black Diamond Racing shelves or cones to eliminate the... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I have listened to so many different speakers either floorstanding or monitor at my friend house and at any shows from the price range of $2000.00 to $15,000.00 but I never been exited when listening to a pair of Rosinante Dulcinea moniter speaker... | |
| Speaker recommendations please I suggest you should contact Ric Cummins at Argent Audio (www.roomlens.com) and listen to his advice about his Rosinante Dulcineas monitor speakers. They are awesome. Good luck. | |
| Power Cords with built in RF reduction? I used David Elrod ESP2 Signature for CDP and preamp and ESP3 Signature for power amp in my system. Nothing can beat these power cords except Elrod Statement. | |
| Best Power Conditioner? I would go for Sound Application CFXe-12, which dramatically improve more details, clarity but not grainier, dynamic, more musical and absolutely transparent. I had owned the Hydra but I would definitely choose SA XE-12 as a reference power condit... | |
| Quietest amplifier you have ever owned. I have a different opinion. As I have ML332 amp and use Genghis Khan PC the amp is totally dead quiet. I have tried another power cord to replace the Genghis Khan I can hear the hiss and hum. But I also add a Sound Application with Elrod EPS3 20am... | |
| Tube reviews for C/J Premier 17? I suggest you to get four Siemens CCa 6922s(no need for a matched quad)NOS tubes to replace stock tubes. They sound dynamic, more detail, transparent and luscious than telefunken CCa 6922s. Give a try and you will hear a big change. | |
| Levinson owners, what cables are u using? Hello Jon,I am using Electroglide Genghis Khan PC for my ML332 amp and Cardas Golden Reference ICs for up-and downstream. They are pretty good matching. The sound is dynamic, detailed, smooth, lush and extended. |
