| Choice of Amps I did not check to see how old the Electro is.It has been checked out and the dealer has a return policy.That's a big plus!I will look into the other amps mentioned.Do not know why I equated the Aragon's being with Krell.Been awhile and it's hard ... | |
| Choice of Amps Were they not sold to Klipsch not so long ago and before that their designs were based on Danny Ag.'s designs?That is what I remember,but it's been awhile.TIA | |
| Choice of Amps I have never heard of these.The best sound I ever heard using them was with Mark Levinson amps and ARC Pre-Amps.That was before the Mods that Bill did after the appauling review DO gave them in Stereophile.They have the same Tweeter design as the ... | |
| Choice of Amps I only have approx. $1k and I am serching for used stuff.The NEAR's are great,huh!You have to have the right amps for them to shine though.They tell you everything.How old are your NEAR M50's?I have meet Bill Kietyka who is 40mi. from me.Really an... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit I am going to send a few short runs off to have Cryo treatment done to see what effect it might have on it.(I will put Eichmanns on 2 pairs of exact lenghts .One will be cryo'd and the other will remain untreated to be inserted between my DAC to P... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit I asked Audio Eng. what type of Spades he would use on this stuff?His advice seeing that it was so thin was to wrap it around the WBT Posts I have to both the Amp & Speaker's(3in.).He was correct!Everything opened up after that.Great advice.I ... | |
| ART DIO Modded or Job DA48 ?? If you are looking for a lowcost solution for an old CDP the Art DIO is the best deal.If you want better it will cost you.If it was the best sound at the show I cannot see how so many people would be fooled.I am having mine modded also.Modding is ... | |
| Are silver coated cables a bunch of hype? I see that you had called Canare and spole to a tach there.I recently posted my impresions of their newest cable at AR.Just was not a good source IC for my CDP.I reinserted a run of AQ Ruby and the problem was eliminated.If it was COAX you were go... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Do not know why it is I can get these connectors to work sometimes and then other times I cannot.It's like a hit or moss thing.I tried making a few sets with the example plugs as my guide.At one point I had one channel going for the CDP then I cou... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit IS there a real noticable difference when using them and should that solve my CDP connector problem?I will order a set to work with if I can find the vendor's addy again.I had saved it in my favorites.I also am experimenting with PC's.Just generic... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit I recieved these cables from a person who had a 5w/ch. amp with Horn speaker's.He preferred DIY Ratshack Cables.I think that his low output from the amp might have been the reason why his system did not take to the Cable.The cable works great in m... | |
| DAC decision, help please I do not know what your range is ,but the best value seems to be for an ART DIO modified by Boulder in Colorado.The price of the unit with the mod is roughly $00 and it has been put against many more expensive units.Bel Canto's DAC 1 has been gett... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit I have a Phillips CD-80 CDP and was wondering what IC I could use if I cannot get the OTA cable to work with it?It still will not send the signal through.I also have an ART DAC unmodified that I am using and have to upgrade the Digital IC.Any sugg... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit What are you using for a transport & DAC?What other's have you tried?I was leaning towards Mapleshade Double Helix Plus,but I am trying to narrow the feild down and that Digital IC is 1/2 the price.Thx | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Excellent cable!I just hooked it up and ran a few of my test recordings and it works just fine for me.I only ran into 1 snag which I have not figured out yet and that is I could not get my CDP to work using the OTA.Will have to try something else ... |
