With help from my friends...System edited: Added a bluray player and a regenerator. The regenerator allows me to listen in a more relaxed state because I was getting power sags and blowing fuses (and sometimes output devices!... posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
With help from my friends...Arthur,Why mess with something that works so well? McIntosh and Kora seems to be a good combo! I am surely the only person in the world with an MDA-1000 feeding directly Kora monoblocks. But it... posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
With help from my friends...System edited: I changed to done for now, but that really just means I am mostly done. I will be adding a subwoofer sometime soon, so I guess it is still evolving some! posted over 15 years ago | View comment | |
Southern Lights (Acapella Violon)Have you thought of using the DEQX with the bass only? It sounds like you would retain more resolution that way. I bet your midrange will have much more resolution without all the processing and it... posted over 16 years ago | View comment | |

With help from my friends...System edited: Sold the Cary. It was great, but this is much better. I got a Thule PR150B preamp. It may not be well known, but it is fully balanced and has tone controls (that I LOVE). The Kora mo... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
With help from my friends...System edited: I had to send the Sony in for a new optical assembly. The Sony repair got my unit back within one week! I put the Svetlana 6550Cs in for the EH KT88s and with the current setup they ... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
The housemates hate me!It looks great! I do agree that you could try different speaker placements for soundstaging. I have a hard time so I employ the help of my great audio buddies to help place my speakers, but the imp... posted almost 18 years ago | View comment | |
With help from my friends...System edited: I put in the EH KT88s today and the sound is vastly improved. It has the clarity, detail and control it needed over the SED 6550Cs. I am amazed at how much better they are than the 6... posted almost 18 years ago | View comment | |
