| Do powercords make a difference in sound? To answer the original question: based on my experience, and assuming the proper gauge for each application, *some* competently constructed power cables can affect the sound by: a) lowering noise (line, RFI, etc); and b) reducing impedance from th... | |
| Kimber Illuminations Orchid Still using mine for a decade now - there is none other for me. | |
| Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End Did you listen to them with the Boulders? | |
| q3 magico If it matters, I've heard the Q3 once at its introduction, and when I read Jeff's review I thought it was exactly spot on - that is, up to the point where he compares it with the Tidal, which I haven't heard, therefore can't judge that part of the... | |
| Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End I am seriously ticked off about this price increase so soon, to ride the rave wave, as was the case with the Q5 as well... | |
| q3 magico I guess that would be the first time I have indirectly paid compliments to MDF :-) | |
| q3 magico The Tidals are yet another variation of the done-and-redone Accuton drivers, still with MDF - indeed a feat for them to be compared with the Q3. | |

| q3 magico there are. do a quick search | |
| What are your favorite phono cartridges? @Smoffatt - How would you compare the XV-1s to the A90? | |
| FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ? How are you going to otherwise hear live performances from the Met or the Boston Symphony w/o a tuner? | |
| dynavector XX2MK2 set up question I have tried 47K; can't beat 1k - it really is all about system matching. I have recently gone to 2.1g and for me this is almost the right setting, as the bass bumped up considerably - the sound was a little thin before. For example, playing the S... | |
| dynavector XX2MK2 set up question No tubes spoken here. Take a look at the tnt audio review as well, also loading it with 1000ohms... | |
| dynavector XX2MK2 set up question I have mine at 2g but the bass is somewhat light, so I am moving up to 2.1 or 2.2g soon. For me, loading of 1000ohms sounds considerably better than 100 (which offers a bit grainy sound) with my Ayre P5xe. | |
| Interconnect for Spectral DMC20+DMA180 Yes not mandatory to use the MIT/Spectral cables. However, when I asked Spectral directly which ones they endorsed for my amps the answer was quite clear: the 350 II's or the Oracle MA. I think I can understand why - anything in between sounded co... |
