It was some very basic monster cable at the time. Keep in mind at that time Monster was THE audiophile cable. Having anything bigger than 16 AWG lamp cord was considered an excessive luxury. As to the grain, maybe I misspoke. The B&O had more of a high frequency hiss to it, you could hear it on speakers that went flat up to 20 kHz, but could not hardly notice it on the Klipsch. There were never any issues with the midrange, in fact, that is where the B&O actually worked quite well with the Klipsch. Again, it was a long time ago, and I don't own any of the equipment anymore--and I'm sure my methods of listening have changed dramatically--but I do distinctly remember the music being very enjoyable.
Help Save Klipcsh from B & O
My buddy rolled into town this weekend with his girlfriend. He has a pair of Klipsch Cornwall that he bought new and are being refurnished. He was going to stop at B & O and buy something to power them. I have stepped in to save him. He has a couple of thousand dollars to spend. He has a medium sized living room and does not want to fuss with tubes.
For his budget what would be recommendations for:
1. An integrated SS amp. Having a phono stage would be desirable.
2. A DVD player that would also play CD's
3. I'm particular to Coincident for speaker and I/C.
4. A FIM for the wall outlet.
5. A Tuner.
6. Any other items.
Thanks,
Luc
