| mas black speaker cables/URGENT I recently bought a pair of MAS Grey 1-m RCA-terminated interconnects from Stu Wein at Sugarbrie's suggestion, and was very pleased with the results. The price was reasonable ($75 + $5 S&H), the service was prompt and courteous, the cables wer... | |
| What is the right thing here................ I am somewhat skeptical about the accuracy of your purchaser's claims that the subs are blown and one is mismatched, and about his request to you for cash compensation. As a safeguard against the possibility of an unjustified request for compensat... | |
| Cambridge SoundWorks or B&W802/803 Matrix/Nautilus Following up on the CSW vs. B&W and cable questions:1) What about the B&W 602 bookshelf speakers for about $600/pair? Might these perhaps be a closer match for Harmon Kardon equipment than the B&W 802 or 803 models?2) While I would agr... | |
| The best CD Player for the money I am happy with a used Cambridge Audio D500 which I picked up used in an e-Bay auction. It's the older model, not the newer SE version, so I got it for a good deal less than the price of a new one. Used with MAS Grey interconnect cables and a Beld... | |
| Cambridge Audio D500SE vs Arcam CD72 I have an older Cambridge Audio D500, and am very pleased with it. The sound is very clear, detailed and natural. I haven't heard the Arcam CD72, so can't comment on how the two units would compare, but Arcam CD players seem to be well reviewed by... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE For about 30 years, I've had a pair of Dynaco A-25 speakers which I bought new in 1972 or 1973. They have smooth, clean, neutral sound, and one can listen to them for long periods without fatigue. They're best for music played at moderate volumes.... | |
| What self powered speakers of my PC? The Cambridge Soundworks MicroWorks at $150 would be a good choice for self-powered satellite / sub speakers to use with a computer. While the Acoustic Energy Aego speakers have better sound, they cost twice as much. The CS MicroWorks, available f... | |
| What Headphones? Looking to upgrade.......... Try Sennheiser m@h80 headphones if you are buying them to listen to MP3s from a laptop computer, or even from a desktop PC. Sennheiser designed these specifically for listening with computers. They are lightweight, comfortable to wear for extended... | |
| Can you help or do I have to get divorced? What about B&W 602 bookshelf speakers, at roughly $600 per pair? I don't own them, but have heard them in a dealer's audition room, and they sounded very clean and detailed. They have a reputation for sounding bright initially, but neutral onc... | |
| Integrated amps, need some help I have an NAD C340 amp which I like, although some of the other posts make it evident that this opinion is not universal. If you cannot afford to spend too much money, but want to get a reasonable-sounding amp and are willing to go for something o... | |
| Interconnects at modest cost? The MAS Grey cables impress me as being high-quality cables. If I understand correctly, when originally marketed, they sold for about $400. According to what Sugarbrie posted earlier in this thread, they used to be recommended by Wadia and Electro... | |
| Interconnects at modest cost? After reading carefully through your responses to my original question, checking out some related web sites, and thinking about it for a while, I finally ordered a pair of the MAS Grey interconnects recommended by Sugarbrie, which came in today's ... | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? A dozen fairly simple approaches to this issue are listed below. For those of you who do not immediately perceive the connections between the following technical procedures and the installation, evaluation and adjustment of new audio equipment, I ... | |
| Interconnects at modest cost? Thanks for all of your responses! There was a clear consensus to try something other than AudioQuest cables, though considerable diversity in what specific alternatives were suggested. Translating "modest" to dollar terms for my current purposes w... |
