Bought a pair of Gennies last Friday. I find them quite addictive, but that could be the NTS.

Dear forum, I need to replace my computer audio. The previous loudspeakers were ML Motion 4 (fronts) + 2 (rears) + Dynamo. I used a phantom center (4.1), or a small non-ML physical center (5.1). Electronics were Cyrus and Naim, mainly, but the replacement of those will be another thread. The...

Because 7 ate 9?

If you believe that power cables improve the sound, chances are you will hear improvements. Conversely, if you don't, you won't. That's me. I believe I still understand enough of the physics involved, and cannot come up with anything that would explain how a power cord could make a difference...

To play back Blu-rays on a Mac you would first have to install Windows 7. OS X does not support the Blu-ray format. Under Windows, dbPoweramp is a fantastic piece of software to copy CDs onto a hard drive and tag them. A company called Slysoft makes software that can copy DVD, HD-DVD, and BR...

Here are a few more keyboard shortcuts for ya. F11: fullscreen browser - great with Ctrl-Wheel - hit it again to go back to window mode (Esc works as well) Ctrl-T: new tab in browser Ctrl-W: close tab in browser Ctrl-Tab: next tab in browser Ctrl-Shift-Tab: prev. tab in browser Esc: close...

Feltran, My Depth-i is from the US. The power cord was of the 3-prong type. I replaced it with a 3-prong Signal or Zebra Cable. But Bernard is right. I checked the Depth-i's power socket - it too has no ground pin.

Dan, I would not worry about capacitor upgrades unless your amps are really old. I would also not take that article serious. The only valid test method is to have two identical devices, modify one and put enough hours on it so it can be compared with the stock one. I quickly scanned over the...

Feltran, why do you think the power cord should be of the 2-prong type? My Depth-i came with a 3-prong cable to go into its IEC 320 connector.

The dealer did not send any serial numbers. Not even after I called again. Eventually he will find a buyer, I'm sure. Not me. I bought new gray 1.6 Maggies with Cherry wood trims instead. (Wanted to do that for a long time.)

Why would one not own and like both, Logans and Maggies? They have much in common. I knew Maggies before I knew Logans, and always thought that while Logans do many things better, Maggies have a certain natural earthiness to their sound that I like a lot. (Don't know how to say it better in a...

Thanks all for the feedback. The dealer has not yet sent the serial numbers. I'll remind him tomorrow. C.A.P, regarding the short panel life span you mentioned: could that not be the consequence of your preference for the older models? I seem to recall that the old electronics did not have a...

Would you buy a like-new demo pair of CLS IIz from a reputable dealer for the price of 4000$ ? I found such a pair at a high end shop today. The dealer says these are one of the last 30 officially made pair, that he bought it new 1.5 years ago, and that he has the papers to prove it. Curious, I...

Craig, is that your new setup? It looks spectacular!

C1, assuming that you already have, or plan to buy, a good pre-amp and amp combo my answer to your $1000 question is yes. I always thought that the internal DACs of the SB3 are very good expecially when the $300 price tag is considered. I doubt that the analog outs of the ATV match the quality...

I don't think that the question is controversial as far as speakers are concerned. Electronic components, cables - yes.

Q1: "Any real world DAC sound quality tests?" Not sure what you mean. Q2: "Any particular DAC to consider as a starting point?" You already mentioned two in your last post. I submit a 3rd candidate, the DAC which I use, a Channel Islands Audio VDA-2 plus external power supply. Q3: "What file...

You're not Tom, you're Mike. Perhaps Tom experiences music like you do; perhaps not. I'm neither Tom nor Mike. My answer to your question is, pre-amp/processor.

Adam, that sucks. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Q1: Wait for the RPA-2 stereo amp or try a 5-channel XPA-5 now. Both are Emotiva products. The RPA-2 is an RPA-1 (which I have) in a new case. It is awesome for its price. And perhaps I should put "for its price" in brackets. $699 plus shipping. Ditto for the XPA-5. www.emotiva.com Q2: Why? You...
