Thanks for the concern and you did not come off as harsh, just logical. Had a guy come in yesterday to look at it, from what I understood, it was due to the surge protector socket that was faulty. I switched that out and everything seems ok. Since he was speaking Korean and my skills are...

A sad day. I figured since the iMac was shocking me so I would try another power cord and it fixed the problem of getting shocked. So I went to plug in the Dacmini, now the Dacmini won't turn on anymore. Think it might have got fried by the experiments. Are there any other possibilities on why...

Thanks for your input guys. I tried connecting each component one at a time and discovered that it was the iMac that was causing the breaker to trip. Since looking into it, it seems the iMac is a little charged itself. If I touch it with my bare skin there is a slight shock that I get and I am...

Wondering if anyone can lend me their expertise in electronics to help me with hooking up my Dacmini. I recently moved my room around and went to hook up the dacmini up again and it kept resulting in the tripping of the breaker in my home. I had no problems before this and I plugged in all the...

Quote: The T1 is interesting but how is the bass on that HP? I heard it has a good SS and good treble presentation but how would you describe the mids?   As for the HE-500, is the SS very big and how is the bass?    Thanks for help.

Quote: Was not too crazy about the hd650's treble presentation, but thanks for the recommendation.

Looking for the optimal cans for just classical. I have LCD-2's so I want something that is comparative but in a different flavor. I want something with a large soundstage and detailed. I don't want it too be too heavy on the treble, just something that is clear and detailed. The bass should...

Thanks for your fast response. I will be sending a pm.

General question to Centrance: Does Jay listens a.k.a. Jonathan still work for Centrance because I sent him a P.M about my Dacmini and never got a response. It's been about 3 weeks. Thanks to whom ever replies with the information.

Quote: Thanks, when I call them on Monday I will relay the salutations on your behalf. As for the volume you listen to music, it is the same for me, I do not listen to music loudly anymore ever since my ears started to ring sporadically. (Guess my youth listening to rap music in my car...

I don't need anything to shake the fillings out. I have an lcd 2 for that. I'm just looking for something to compliment those headphones in a way that would make classical a little more holographic for me. I like most genres on the LCD-2 but I really love classical music when I am preparing my...

Hey Average_Joe,    First off, I want to say thanks for this invaluable thread and the plethora of information you have provided since it help me formulate which customs I would like to get. Without you I would have never known about Hidition's NT-6's.   Considering I am in Korea right...

Quote: I prefer the Q cables myself because of the sound and ergonomics. Plus I think it is a little funny that Norse Audio cables came out with a cable so similar to the Q-audio after it's apparent success. Can't really say if it isn't better or not but as far as originality, it seems...

First off, you got the cutest kid modeling your headphones.   Second off, you think the Leben can push the PSB's adequately? I have a friend in the military over there and could probably pick one up for a good price but I'm still trying to see if it is worth it for speakers. I would really...

Anyone have any idea if RWA Sig. 30.2 would drive these properly or does it need more watts?

Quote: Thanks for the quick response and you have made my choice a little easier. Space is unfortunately not a luxury in my home in Korea, man is this place cluttered. However, I think I am more inspired by jazz and classical of late but the fact the Jolida is not powerful enough, I have to...

First off, I want to say thank you Steve for the great articles and reviews that you have written. I find your articles to be very direct and easy to understand even for the audiophile laymen, that being me.   Second, I was wondering your personal recommendation for two speakers that you...

I understand his point about LCD-2's and their comfort eventhough I disagree with his viewpoint. I have a huge head ( had to get a special helmet made when I played football in Florida) and the first few sessions with the LCD-2's made my jaw sore but after that they melt into my head so it...

>plin- thanks for the info, I appreciate the response.

>Headphone Addict- I was wondering if the Dacmini benefits from an alternative psu at all. I have the Dacmini and cinsidering your experience with other psu for other amps I was just curious about your opinion on this.

I totally agree with you. Their customer is top notch, when I had a problem they contacted me immediately and helped me get things up an running again. I also agree with the sound out of the LCD-2's (rev1). I'm really satisfied with this amp and will stick with this for my solid-state amp.

x2 Great sound at a great price plus the guys at CEntrance were great with questions and fast responses. With the LCD-2's it seems the music comes alive. To me, the combo sounds very neutral, looking for a tube amp in the future so as to get a little warmth to compliment the sound signature of...

So that's what LCD-2's look like under a microscope...LoL. J/K Considering the price point, if your not happy with the end-product no matter how slight, you should definitely let them know. Who knows they might have a solution that you like. They were stand up guys and were more than accommodating.

If your willing to pay a little more for the cable and want something lighter and more ergonomical, I would highly recommend the Q-audio cables. Steve is a great guy to deal with and he has a great product. The sound is well presented with good response and great tonality. But the best thing is...
