Oh and I meant to add that I think that we are hearing the same changes and that we perceive them differently. Perhaps what you consider a positive change I see as negative and perhaps we are talking about the same thing...you know what I mean. Difficult to explain, sorry. Been up since 4 am. We just took Sherlyn's Mother home fromthe hospital today and things aren't lookin' too shiny for her. |

Art: So sorry to read about Sherilyn's mother - and we send hopes for her medical-best. Please forward. . .
We have to consider one thing here, Art - we are dealing with two radically different CD players - and as we know, each has its own sound "fingerprint." So, what changes I hear on my Cambridge probably differ greatly from what you hear on your superior Rega.
Heck - my poor old ears have to strain to hear many sound differences, anyway - so I'm no kind of good judge here. I just remain surprised that you find the Zainoed discs to have an unpleasant sound for you.
I hope you take time to read the linked article listed above - I found it full of all sorts of interesting information.
Meanwhile, I sent out some of my "Insanity Mats" yesterday - six of them to friend Verne and his group in LA. They want very much to do some major testing on the mats, so I'm quite interested in what they have to say - or not! (grin)
I still maintain that I do not hear what many claim to hear with the silicone mat - because my Cambridge upper clamp is free-floating, and held down only with magnets. Thus - no direct connection to frame and electronics, and less chance of vibration transfer. You'd have the same situation, with your three-ball clamping device, I'm sure. . .
One thing that I am happy with, however, is the apparent "grounding" of sound after I applied my rubber sheeting to the player's insides. Must be something to this vibration-is-bad thang, eh?
Respectfully. . .LarryR |

With minor variations cd players do the same things. So what I'm saying is that I believe that the changes we hear are likely very similar but that our perception of them is different. I know that's what I already said but I believe it to be true.
Thanks a bunch Larry for your well wishes for Reba form both Sherilyn and I. She's at home resting. We will see her later. |

While Sem was sleeping, Larry was listening - finally - to a friend's brand-new Rega Apollo CD player. Went to his house last night, and immediately started drooling.
Here's what he runs in his listening room - the Apollo, a Marantz SR7001 receiver and a set of large Magnaplanar speakers - 3.6 I believe he said.
Anyway - he fired it all up and the sound was just incredible! Actually sorry I heard it, because now I LUST after a pair of those speakers! Never heard such natural, clean sound in my life!
anyway - we played around with the Rega, listening to all sorts of music - and loving it all. Sigh.
I said I want to bring the Cambridge over to his house sometime and see what it sounds like in comparison - which I guess we'll do next week.
Art - I can't say that the Rega alone is responsible for the music I heard - though it must have quite a bit of impact there. So at this point, I'm just rather overwhelmed at the sonic differences between my friend's system and mine.
The Rega is sure fun to play with, though! Seems rock-solid, and I'm a great fan of the top-loading system.
In the end, while I like the "idea" of the Apollo, it was the speakers that overwhelmed me, so my review of the player is obviously colored.
Bottom line: as I have no money to spend, doesn't matter what I love - it's not in the budget. But it's still pretty cool! (grin)

I used to own Maggies and am glad I don't still. Wonderfully seductive but woefully innacurate. After listening to live music and comparing Vandersteens to the Maggies I was blown away by how much closer the Vandersteens were to faithfully reproducing the vocals of the artist I had just heard. All other equipment was exactly the same. By themselves Maggies are nice but they don't stand up to scrutiny, at least not to me and that's why I became disenchanted with them.
That said they have a very faithful following and the highest overall customer satisfaction of any speaker. Also the folks at Magnepan are wonderful to work with. Very nice folks who really do know the meaning of service. |

Art: Have never heard Vandersteen speakers, and may not have a chance to around here. But the Magnaplanars were so much more "real" sounding to me than my setup - I was just plain amazed!
Sure - it was a combination, I'm sure. Though I'm not sure my friend's receiver is better than my NAD. . .
Sigh - guess I'll go Online and see what I can find out about your Vandersteens, Art.
At this point, I've about decided that I can't hear any of the great differences in sound quality that all of you do - so "upgrading" would be pure folly for me, even if I could afford it. . .

Art: Thanx - these are the same Planars that SimplyMcIntosh has in her home. I've not heard them, however. She seems to like them a lot, though I understand she's experimenting with several other speakers at the moment. Haven't seen her smiling face on the Forum for a loonnggg time. Sigh.
I did, indeed, look up your Vandersteen speakers - way too much money for me to ever consider, but they do appear rather interesting in concept.
Yeah - I have a very hard time distinguishing between one cable and another, or even one amp or player and another. Sigh. The differences are, to me, either just too subtle to "get" - or just not there.
However, when my friend fired up his Rega/Marantz/Magnaplanar system - wow! The difference in sound between that and my humble system was overwhelming.
We put on an opera CD and it was just like being in the concert hall. Mer was speechless (most unusual!)
Maybe I can sneak into my friend's house some dark night. . . .naw, I'm too honest for my own good! (grin)
Think I'll go wash some CDs. . .

"I need to know about this right now, not later!" It was Mer, commenting on my friend's apparently higher-end system, and whether the Rega player sounded better with the Marantz amp and Magnaplanar speakers than the Cambridge would, if it were plugged into the system.
Well, my friend was happy to accommodate her last evening - even had some nice after-dinner brandy with the "sound test." Hmm. . .
So - we awayed to his house, where his wife and my wife talked of substantive issues while we re-arranged inputs and set up the test.
Because the Marantz allows for a couple of digital inputs, we were able to physically hook up the machines, and only transfer discs and hit a switch to change from Rega to Cambridge.
Same CDs that we'd dealt with before - and when we played them on the Rega, they still sounded so good that I wanted to stay for a third brandy. (grin)
Then we A-Bed and again and again. No, it was NOT double-blind testing - we knew which machine was playing each time.
the results - Mer plainly heard sonic differences, saying that the Rega had less shrillness and more of what she called "instrument presence" than the Cambridge did.
My friend agreed with her, period.
I, on the other hand, had a harder time determining which machine offered the "better" performance. While I did think the Rega was smoother, obviously, my ears are not as attuned as Mer's, or my friend's ears, for that matter.
So - we came home and talked about it - and my take was that the speakers were more important to me than the player - I think. Mer said that was probably true, but that she believed the Rega had a lot of positive difference, as well.
Bottom line: I want to hear my friend's Rega and amp with my B&W speakers - then I may have a better idea whether those Maggies are the key to my sound-happiness with my friend's rig - or whether the Rega is most responsible. Or whether it's just a magical coupling of all elements. Probably. . .
Art - I have no doubt that the Rega is wonderful and much better than my humble Cambridge. Mer says so, therefore it must be true. But I guess that my aging ears don't or can't delineate that well. . .

Larry, my opinion would be that the biggest difference is the speakers, next the CDP and then the amp (I'd say your NAD be preferable, but I have not heard the new Marantz). All you really need to do is for your friend to bring his Apollo and hook that to your system. Then you'll be sorry [grin]. |

Jan: Yeah, you're right - I'm about satisfied that any rig I put in this space will have a tough time. Sigh.
Friend and I agreed - he'll bring his REga over tomorrow night, and we'll hook it into the NAD and the B&Ws. But again - the room! Sigh.
Frankly, my wife's liddle $200 all-in-one system is sounding better and better to me! (grin)

I will have to start watching ABC's "Extreme Make Over: Home Edition" to see if they tear down and rebuild Larry's house with a sound studio of his dreams. Instead of Disney World, they will take him on a world tour with stop overs at Jan's, Nuck's, M.R.'s, and Art's.
He'll return home expecting everything he dreamed of only to find out that Mer's arts and crafts room ended up taking top billing and he ended up with a kick butt sound system for his Toyota / Honda whatever, instead of a media room, plus a lifetime supply of Dawn, Pledge, and Z-14. |

Michael, very 
and Larry my friend, you weren't under the impression that there wasn't better audio equipment than what you have were you?
Just kidding - as you know - but, the universal problem for audio enthusiasts is hearing better gear than what we own. It's a real no-no Larry. Unless the wallet has been overstuffed. |

Michael: very good! But may hold more than a grain of truth, sir! (grin) And yes, I sometimes sneak out to the garage to listen to a CD on the Honda system. Since putting in the Boston Acoustics speakers - hey, it ain' bad at all!
M.R. - sigh - you were - and were not - kidding! (grin) Unfortunately, Jan is correct: my room, or rather my "open space" is a real problem. I've brought home four different sets of speakers that sounded pretty darned good at the dealer - only to be greatly disappointed here.
I really, really wish I could "love" the B&W speakers, but they have always sounded flat and rather lifeless here - and, of course, Jan's comments re the environment are spot-on.
But there is only so much I can do - or that Mer will let me do - to "tune" the room. Sigh.
I'll be interested to hear what my friend's Rega does here, rather than at his place.
He, BTW, has his rig in what would ordinarily be a large - 14 by 28 feet -(4.27 by 5.5 meters) bedroom.
The walls are drywall, with some hanging Indian rugs here and there. The floor is carpet, and the window has only some "accordian" shades on it. Not really live, but certainly not "dead" either. The furniture is leather - four overstuffed "listening chairs."
I, on the other hand, have my rig in a living room about 10% larger, but with very high, sloped, ceiling, and the room is open to the kitchen, the front hall, and even to my den. About half of the room is carpet - the large hall and kitchen ceramic tile. There are some pictures and a large rug on the living room wall, and one side is all glass. Not "echoy" but not cozy-dead, either.
I've tried all manner of speaker placement - no help. I think the only improvement would come by walling up the room and doing some more sound-absorbing treatments. Obviously NOT in the plans! (grin)
So - this is what my friend comes into with his Rega. And I'll report on what we all hear. . .
BUT - even if the Rega sounds Heavenly - I ain' buying one, M.R.! ! !

" ... the universal problem for audio enthusiasts is hearing better gear than what we own."
The solution is knowing when you're satisfied and what it will take to manage that. If I might suggest, when you get your priorities and references in order and stick to them, you aren't always hearing "gear" that you think is "better". In other words, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Priobably at that point whether the term "enthusiast" then still applies is up for debate. I tend to think enthusiasm is tempered by other motivations, such as wondering how so much stuff can sell for so much money.
Gentlemen-Rankers by Rudyard Kipling, 1892
To the legion of the lost ones, to the cohort of the damned,
To my brethren in their sorrow overseas,
Sings a gentleman of England cleanly bred, machinely crammed,
And a trooper of the Empress, if you please.
Yea, a trooper of the forces who has run his own six horses,
And faith he went the pace and went it blind,
And the world was more than kin while he held the ready tin,
But to-day the Sergeant's something less than kind.
We're poor little lambs who've lost our way, Baa! Baa! Baa!
We're little black sheep who've gone astray, Baa--aa--aa!
Gentlemen-rankers out on the spree,
Damned from here to Eternity,
God ha' mercy on such as we, Baa! Yah! Bah!

Jan: Had the good Rudyard known what would become of his verse - in 1909, at Yale University, the Whiffenpoof singing group was formed. Shortly afterward, they modified Kipling's lyrics, set it to music, and it became "The Whiffenpoof Song."
Every year, 14 seniors are chosen to be the year's Whiffenpoofs - an a capella singing group.
Their trademark song was a-born of Mr. Kipling's verse, and has remained firmly set at Yale ever since.
The only reason I know this is that I just had to do research for a client, and the song's history was included in his graduate paper. Amazing you should bring this up, Jan - I just e-mailed the history and an MP3 performance by the real Whiffenpoofs of 2005. Coincidence, for sure! |

M.R. - hey, my client hopes to get a Master's degree out of this - so simmer down there! (double grin)
Whiffenpoof - a mythical fish fawned and sung over in a Victor Herbert musical way back around the turn of the century - the 20th one, that is, er, was.
Ordinarily, the song is, well, "sung," but one jazz artist did a rather amazing job with it: Cal Tjader. Hit the right mood, and swung it gently. Nice.
Usually, you get Perry Como, Mitch Miller or Bing Crosby if you want to find it on CD. Sigh. . .

Larry, that's interesting info on the Whiffenpoofs. I had a friend who was one. It's kind of an all-star team of male a cappella singers at Yale. Another Yale a cappella group, the Baker's Dozen, has been in the news here, as victims of a homophobic attack, in San Francisco of all places. I believe a cappella groups are covered by the federal Endangered Species Act. |

How I lost a bet and won a cable, by LR.
Well, the Great Test is done. And we're all still friends!
Friend Jerry brought over the rega about 2:30 - said he didn't have anything better to do, and wanted to get it hooked up and hot to trot. Or something. . .
We hooked both the Cambridge and the Rega to the NAD - rather easy to switch, so we thought we had a good "match" there.
I was surprised at his digital cable - never heard of it before - a "Wireworld Starlight 5." He said he bought it for $60 from a friend about a year ago.
Anyway - cleaned both interconnects - and got them set up and warmed up a bit.
We then decided to go through several discs that we both had - an old CD of Miles Davis with "Sketches of Spain," and a new disc we'd both recently bought: Takacz Quartet with Schubert quartets 13 and 14.
I'd asked Jerry NOT to clean his Schubert disc, so we could compare cleaned with un-cleaned ones for sound quality.
Then, about 5 p.m., we started testing. The usual, changing discs from one player to the other, back, and so forth.
After three discs it became apparent to me that the Rega didn't sound anywhere near as good as it did in Jerry's home. Hmm. Rather thin-sounding, and although it sounded somewhat smoother than the Cambridge - not that much better.
Mer allowed as how she could hear some difference, but "not enough to buy the Rega."
Obviously, my setup was not being kind to the Rega! Then Jerry suggested that we exchange digital cables - "just for the heck of it."
I run all Blue Jeans cables - and I know that most audiophiles look down on them - but they seem to do a good job for me.
I bet Jerry that I couldn't hear the difference in cables, and that my Blue Jeans would make his Rega sound even worse. We changed them over.
What happened? Surprised all of us. The Rega sounded BETTER with the Blue Jeans - and the Cambridge sounded BETTER with his Starlight!
Hmm - voo-doo, anyone? I'm thinking that the Blue Jeans knocked the top end off the Rega, and the Starlight warmed up the mid-range. That was Mer's guess. . .
then we tested the Schubert discs on the Rega - and Mer was the "guinea pig." she said there was "no contest" - that the disc that had been Z-14 cleaned sounded much more natural and, well, "clean." Jerry and I agreed readily.
Bottom lines here, guyz: The Rega sounded fuller and cleaner, but rather tinny on my system - until we changed out cables. My Cambridge sounds better now with the Starlight cable.
Was there significant difference between the two machines? Jerry and Mer thought so - but I could not hear that much difference - as usual. Sigh.
For me - neither player could duplicate what we heard with Jerry's Maggies and Marantz amp. So, now I've got to get a new room, new speakers, and probably a Rega. In my dreams, chaps! (double grin)
It wasn't a double-blind test, but it showed us rather conclusively that machines and cables and cleaning and rooms and speakers - all make a difference!
PS - we never considered using the Insanity Mats - maybe later! (grin)
G-nite from Swampville, Dawgs.

"Then Jerry suggested that we exchange digital cables"
I'm sure this is just an error, isnt it Larry?

Sorry to say, but Jerry uses a digital cable - said that's what he wanted to compare - so I said OK.
As I didn't have the knowledge to argue with him, well, we went ahead.
BTW - the Rega is toast. He dropped it when trying to remove it from atop the equipment cabinet. He said "it won't fire up" this morning. Sigh. Fortunately, he's got more money than I do. |
