this is my second "hifi" rig. i'm still developing, but i've got good soundstage, imaging,and bass response. highs are detailed and clear. i am currently working on my AC. i'm in a condo, and it is dirty.
System edited: here is the new set-up so far. i've addded my int. amp, which i love, and my quantum conditioner, which i love also. next is fine tuning cabling and tweeks. bdr cones and pucks, z sleeves, moon audio T-14 biwire, vh pulsars, vh pc's, absolute pc's, shakti stone, pebbles, are the toys i'm looking to add. how does it sound? the bass is clear and strong. has real punch. the mmites are strong to 50 hz so it is quick feeling too. the highs have a sparkle to them when certain instruments just ring in the air. the midrange is lacking a touch, i think. i feel i can sense the crossover and it has a "clip". soundstage is wide, goes beyond the speakers. imaging is clear and precise, but bot quite as 3 dimensional as i think a system can be. anyway, so far so good! any opinions are certainly welcome. i am also looking at a pair of role kayaks or totem arros. good luck, d.
hi drew, the sub is very good. it plays notes, not just oompa's(for lack of a better word). it is very restrained yet can certainly SLAM. i've got particularly flat rsponse in my space for some reason so the EQ hasn't been used to its full potential, but certainly has helped in leveling things out to make each bass note clearer. solid build and very attractive finish. i stole it for 400 bucks. tvad, the ipod uses monster ics. when i got them there wasn't any others on the market, there seem to be plenty now. if i play the same cd in the dvdp and the ipod at the same time and switch them in and out on my amp, i get a definite drop in volume level and a touch less clarity with the ipod. i do not know if it is the ipod itself or the ics. i intend on buying some of the "audiophile" grade ics for the ipod and see whats what. i'll post results when i can. new pics of the updated system will be up this week-end. details of sound will accompany...thanks all for your responses, i do enjoy it. d.
that is true of the mites. that is why i MUST address the AC, the noise is quite obvious. the SI is only temporary, i have a redgum integrated at the shop being worked on, it was damaged in shipping. the system is "quirky", i am a novice and am working on bringing the overall quality of all the compnents up to a cetain level for referance before switching items in and out to get the sound i like best.
