| What should be on my short list... Consonance CD-120 Linear. This is well under your limit but not to be overlooked. True 16 bit, non-oversampling/upsampling, no op-amps or digital filters, etc. I've had mine for a week now and am quite impressed. | |
| Review: Quantum Resonance Technology Symphony Tweak Ozzy:I don't get that with mine when I diconnect it. Maybe it's system dependent or maybe it's due to the constraints of my listening room. It's small (10 1/2' x 15') and I'm 7' from the speakers (near field) which are about 10' apart. What I did ... | |
| Review: Quantum Resonance Technology Symphony Tweak It's nice to know I haven't lost my mind or my hearing. I'll admit that the statements made are beyond my ken but my ears appreciate it most keenly.Thanks for the responses. | |
| Review: Quantum Resonance Technology Symphony Tweak Bgrazman:I respect your background and knowledge and your inclination to doubt this but.... All I can say is I've taken it out and re-inserted it and the results are the same. Also, I'm told that they are actively looking for licensing agreements ... | |
| Best Tweaks..... Here's my two cents worth:Quantum Symphony noise suppression/EMF stabilizerHerbie's Grungebuster2 CD mat, Tenderfeet, Bigfooter & Halo rings for tubesMapleshade Silclear-on every contact you have, including tube pinsHospital grade cryo'd outlets | |
| looking for best speakers to match with small 25w You might want to consider the decware 1.5s. I'm breaking in a pair right now and they are a most beguiling speaker. Airy, articulate as hell, and downright spooky with the right recording. Not the last word in bass but what it does have is pretty... | |
| Need advice on a passive subwoofer No, I wasn't planning on adding a crossover and/or amp: as I stated in my initial post, I'm new to this and need advice and appreciate all the input I can get. I don't know where this will lead or how I'll end up implementing the sub. My goal is a... | |
| Need advice on a passive subwoofer Warnerwh:Thanks for understanding my question and for the advice. I'll check out the sites you mentioned. | |
| Need advice on a passive subwoofer On the advice of someone who knows my setup (a TAD Cayin TA-30 tube integrated), using a passive isn't that complicated at all: "first connect to 0 & 4, then connect the high driver '-' to the 4 tap, '+' to the 8 tap (double stuffing the 4 tap... | |
| Review: Brickwall PW8R15AUD AC filter I, too, live in an apartment and therefore share all the nasties inherent in this lifestyle. Also, there's a microwave transmitter/repeater down the block from me that affects just about everything (I should have gone to that public meeting...). A... | |
| Mullard New ReissueTubes??? Hey Btstrg: I'm new to things tubed but I got a matched quad set from Marsh Amps ( I couldn't get ahold of anyone over at New Sensor on the phone) for $94 with shipping (New Sensor is cheaper still). Compared to the Valve Arts that came with my TA... | |
| On the fence with the Consonance CD-120 Thanks for the feedback. My tube integrated should tame it quite nicely. | |
| Speaker and interconnect recommendations I have the Mapleshade Clearview interconnects and speaker wire. Great price/performance ratio. Instead of having me go on about them, read the review at Enjoy The Music, parts one and two. It's quite an in-depth read. You can also get other views ... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers First, decide on what YOU like to listen to and then scour the magazines out there (all of them) to help narrow down your choice on speakers. Speakers first, don't forget. Don't rush into this. Let the hype direct you but trust your ears: listen c... | |
| Good question, lots of answers. Warren: You are correct sir! You should be an arbitrator. As for the rest of the crowd: don't be hatin' man! Not everyone can afford the cost into High End and the Legacys take you to the door. Sure, they're not perfect but the 40+ reviews at audi... |
