Getting there!Many changes, all to the better. Changed out the Boulder for MBL 9011's This added warmth and kept the resolution. Changed my surround and center amps to MBL 8011's. The biggest change is that I no... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |
Getting there!Well, you naysayers, here's the new picture. As to the Parc, I agree with all tha above comments. Mine is now on the market. I still think that EQ can help. Since I'm going to an all digital chain,... posted almost 17 years ago | View comment | |
Getting there!Hi, I'm using Apple Lossless through I-tunes. My server is a Mac Mini and that seems to work very well. I'm archiving to a terrabyte hard drive and backing up to a second one, connected by fire... posted about 17 years ago | View comment | |
Getting there!System edited: I've done some major changes. The first was switching out the Esoteric X-01 Limited for a Wavelength Audio Crimson, a computer-based tubed-output DAC. The sound only had to be as goo... posted about 17 years ago | View comment | |
Getting there!I understand what you mean about texture. I used 2 solid state preamps, a CTC Blowtorch and an EMM Labs Switchman, before going to an Audio research REf3. The texture is now there. Of course, syste... posted about 18 years ago | View comment | |

Strapper211s all out effort at NirvanaHi, Good luck with the Iis. I owned a pair of the Osiris speakers for about 4 years, and they truly lacked the slam. They were what my dealer characterized as "polite" and what I char... posted over 18 years ago | View comment | |

Getting there!A good call on the speakers. I'm waiting for my last GPA stand to come, then I can do the final positioning. Although, the sound from the turntable doesn't seem to be affected. Thanks for the comme... posted about 19 years ago | View comment | |
Getting there!That's a Clutter's End rack, until my GPA comes this week. :) David posted about 19 years ago | View comment | |
Getting there!Yes, There is a Casablanca 3 in the system. I run the channels through the Switchman, except for the mains, which go directly to the ARC preamp. It's cumbersome, but easy in execution. OTOH, I'... posted about 19 years ago | View comment |
