| Home Theatre Amp Suggestions Another option is to get a good Main amp and a quality 5ch. amp for the CC and rears.That is what I did and I am happy with the decision.Modified B&K ST-202B&K av2500 ser.II | |
| Box speakers that sound like Electrostats? I sold my Maggies for sets of Modified NEARs.I was able to do testing before I sold the Maggies and have no refrets In the least.Believe it or not the NEARs were more transparent than the Maggies.I won't be going back to Electrostats or panels eve... | |
| Matching Amps and Preamps--any Combo? If your amp can except a Passive get one .There are things to consider.Impedance Matching and Sensitivity .Cables need to be low in Impedance also.These are equated into Gain issues.The FT Audio Passive preamp gets around some of this by using a s... | |
| Review: AudioQuest Ruby Interconnect I just sold all my AQ cables which included the Rubys and Indigo speaker cables.Great value fort the $$.I sold them to pay for 47Labs OTA cable which to me must be in the league of Kimber Silver Streak.Glad your happy with the AQ.Also I am glad fo... | |
| Processor Loop for 2 channel? I am in a dilemma of trying to do this also.I have a FT Audio Passive preamp and a Lexicon CP-3Pro which I plan to use.Amps are a Modified B&K ST-202 and a B&K AV2500 Series II for the CC and the rears.The logic is to allow you to keep you... | |
| boyfriend is getting on my way Replace the Cable and see how things work.Monster usually cuts both Freq. extremes.I don't think you'll find a great amount of diffs. after you get the correct Cable synergy.McCormicks aree a better amp though.Not worthy of restructureing your amp... | |
| Good Subwoofer Amp I had always thought that Subs and Bass drivers are the easiest loads to drive.I have a set of speakers coming that I can Tri-amp and have been trying to figure out what might be the best and most cost effective amps to use.For the bottom end I id... | |
| Any difference between compilations and originals? I might be wrong,but compilations are skewed because they try to correct for the recording levels which the masters were recorded at making the compilation terrible.Hard to get that right witout messing the whole thing up. | |
| $10 / foot speaker wire Well I agree that they are overpriced,but when you look at the hypothesis that less is more in some cases like in the case of OTA then they might be useful.As I mentioned I would like to try some other Connectors also. | |
| Best Component Ever, for the money At the moment DACs are real steals.Seems like the best in a teechnology always occurs at the end if it's life.TT's and Cartridges are examples ,but now they are specialty items that go for outrageous prices.DAC'sART DIO--ModifiedScott Nixons tube ... | |
| Which remasters to pickup? You have to be kidding right?All remastering does is clean up the recording to be played back in digital.The Beatles were some of the worst recordings I have ever heard.If they were not remasterd they would be intolerable.Some recordings are a mus... | |
| $10 / foot speaker wire There was a few post about the Bullets at AA.One thing I have to say id the Forward to Back of the soundstage is not as good using it as when cables are used without it(OTA).I am going by memory of experiences.One test recordings I use is an instr... | |
| $10 / foot speaker wire You might want to try John Risch's design at AA to save $$.I bought 47Labs OTA cable and am satisfied with it but it cost double of what you want.I got it used at 1/2 price.I liked AQ cable,but not the one you mentioned.Canare did not work well in... | |
| Cryo treated wires? No,the debating society is over at Audio Reviews Cable BB!There you will find the most congenial people to tell you that there is no diff in cables and they seem to know more about it then the cable cos. themselves.You have to agree with this view... | |
| Cryo treated wires? If cables almost cost you your marriage I would curtail experimenting with cables for awhile!LOLWhat I think is significant is taking a inexpensive IC(Beldens) and turning it into a contender with ultra priced cables such as Transparents.If this i... |
