| Interconnects Hey Roxy ~ First, congratz on your new gear! I agree w/what a couple of posters above said, run your new gear w/your old cables for a while, say 2 or 3 months, and get really familiar w/what a few favorite tunes sound like thru that setup. THEN... | |
| Upgraded my cables and they transformed my system!!! Like the previous poster, I just switched from Cardas: Parsec to Clear [digital SPDIF]. And I upgraded my analog interconnects to Cardas Clear [RCA] as well. So, my magical bias tells me that I have better stereo imaging, more detail, and more [a... | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendation Seconds to Morrow Audio [SP7] and Cardas [Clear, Clear Cygnus]. I agree that no entry level cables sound good, something I really hoped was NOT true...but every time i have upgraded, I gained more detail, or bass "oomph", or something SIGNIFICANT ... | |
| Do speaker cables really make a difference ? Have just upgraded from Morrow Audio SP6 to SP7. And once again, the better the cable, the better the sound of my system. Specifically, better resolution and imaging, and perhaps a tad more bass now that they are breaking in somewhat...it's obvi... | |
| Looking for Advice on Focal Speakers Amazing how many people responded that don’t own, and never did own, Aria 936s. Guess what? I do. The Focals will be a huge upgrade over the Klipsch metal driver speakers you have now ~ better tonality, better low-end, more detail w/o the metallic... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations I've got some Morrow Audio SP6 cables which I am very happy with, running between PS Audio M700 monoblocks and Wharfedales...you're right about the synergy, but you won't know until you try, and they will let you return them if you're unhappy w/th... | |
| best tube integrated under $5000 ? nitewulf~ I think that's as much a testament to the Legacys, and their excellent sensitivity, as it is to your amp...no disrespect to the Dynamo, but driving ANY floorstander successfully w/an 8 watt amp is pretty amazing. | |
| Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps? OP, what exactly would be the problem if it WERE a hotrod job? If you use "upgrade parts" [a relative term, I acknowledge], maybe you end up w/a BETTER sound that what it was originally...I say this because I am using an OLD Sansui integrated, sl... | |
| AKM makes the best DACs I agree w/the poster...and disagree w/anyone who says that different chips from different manufacturers don't have their own sound. AKM is the clear leader [pun intended], closely followed by the Burr Brown 17 series, esp the 1795. I've got the ... | |
| Recommendation for a highly resolving amp Another vote for changing out your cables ~ w/o spending a fortune, you could go w/Synergistic Research Foundation cabling ~ I was a bit amazed when I installed them in my system...it would be a significant upgrade, and give you at least a good ch... | |
| Power Cord & SPDIF Coaxial Recommendations For Audiomeca Mephisto CD Transport I have not used SR's digital cable [mine is a VooDoo], but I do have some of their Foundation interconnects, and I am quite impressed w/them ~ I think they hit their trickle-down target of offering high quality at reasonable cost. Will almost cer... | |
| How many people here generally buy used? As I said in a previous post, I am done buying new gear ~ the audiophile community as a whole takes such fine care of their gear [and does such a great job packing], that I have rarely bought anything that wasn't pretty much like new...I get a big... | |
| My Demo results: I feel like I'm at a frustrating block in my speaker journey Here’s an idea ~ get a good pair of headphones. Your room arrangement stinks, your amp is sub-par, you’ve rejected all sorts of GREAT speakers because of [at least] these two factors, as several have already pointed out. You can get a great pair o... | |
| Who buy PS AUDIO ? Had the S300, but was unsatisfied because its power output was woefully inadequate; consulted James Herod at PS, and he talked me into trading it in on a pair of M300s. So I did...better power, but still a disappointment overall, though I will say... | |
| Magico vs the world It's kind of odd to me that, w/the exception of the JMLabs reference above, Focal doesn't seem to be on anyone's radar...I'm thinking that choosing between a Magico S3 and a Sopra 3 would probably be tough, and getting the cost evened out a bit mo... |
