| Any experience with Shunyata Research's Anaconda Ztron OR Audience AU24-SX Speaker Cables? If you don't have any local dealers near you to audition these cables I have found if you contact the manufacture directly they are more than willing to talk to you and sell direct, and I've had them send me demo cables to try before I buy. Always... | |
| The next step to a better system I use Spotify at my office and love the almost endless library of music out there as I’m always discovering artist I’ve never heard of daily. I’ve not tried Spotify at home on my main system so I can’t speak how it sounds but I’ve read plenty abou... | |
| Power cables for PassLabs preamp and poweramp Glad to hear the WyWires worked out. Alex makes great cables and my Pass amp as well improved with them. The Silver Juice II PC was my first WyWires purchase and since then I have added the Silver model balanced IC and speaker cables. They replac... | |
| Upgrading from Monitor Audio GS60 to ?? I've listened to the MA GX200 plenty and it's very nice. Not sure you'll find a pair for 2K, but if you do that's a lot of speaker for the money. A completely different speaker, but the Magnepan 1.7i is something to consider. | |
| Solid state amp to replace my Audio Research Ref 150 amp Both ModWright and Pass will give your Ref 150 a run for the money. They don't pretend to be tubes, but they are both great amps. I like many don't have any desires to go back to a tube amp for the same reasons you're considering the change. I've ... | |
| 1 pair of good interconnects- which 2 components should I use them on? If you're handy with a soldering iron, build your own. If you have never used one - learn. Buy the best ends you can afford, find some decent hook up wire and braid away. Basically, build your own Kimber PBJ. It's easy. | |
| Whats a good all around digital cable for under $250. I only need half a meter. I don’t think WyWires Gold or Platinum cables contain those metals as well. I own many silver Clear Day Cables; their speaker wire, single and balanced cables and they are not bright... revealing but not bright. My dad owns Kimber KCAG, AQ Lapis, ... | |
| Whats a good all around digital cable for under $250. I only need half a meter. Definitely agree to stick with a digital cable at least 1m long. Plenty of articles out there on why you should use 1m or longer especially on coax and glass. Stick with coax over glass or aes/ebu if those are your options. I personally never care... | |
| Whats a good all around digital cable for under $250. I only need half a meter. The WyWires Silver does not have any silver - all copper. WyWires doesn't use any silver wire in any of their cables and if you visit their site you will find out they deslike silver wire as a conductor. They only use the word Silver as a model na... | |
| Whats a good all around digital cable for under $250. I only need half a meter. What type of digital cable? If you're looking for new look into WyWires Blue. If you can find a used Silver series that will be better. Alex of WyWires sometimes has trade ins or demos on hand at nice prices, so it's worth a call to see if he has ... | |
| Solid state amp to replace my Audio Research Ref 150 amp Try a Pass X250.8. It doesn't run too warm; my ModWright preamp puts off more heat than my Pass. | |
| Best Pre-amp for $500?? Cambridge 851D might be something to look at if you don't spin CDs or have another player you want to keep. I've not heard the 851D, but would think its for the most part an 851C without the transport. | |
| Preamplifier for Threshold 400A Not knowing a budget Pass XP10 if you want to go SS. Tubes ModWright LS36.5 and many ARC preamps will work and sound nice on a Threshold. I'd suggest staying with a tube preamp to match with your SS amp. Sonic Frontiers Line 1 or 2 might be more i... | |
| Best Pre-amp for $500?? Not sure what the rest of your system is so I'll throw a dart with my bad eye on this one. Guessing your system is totally digital as you expressed no need for a phono stage. Finding something for $5-700 is tuff so here's what I'd do; find a used ... | |
| Audio Research LS 17 SE Power Cord I'd start with the Acoustic Zen first. If you like their house sound I'd bet their PC has a similar flavor. I wasn't so strong on staying with the same cable manufacture throughout but after buying my first WyWires PC I've been changing out my ent... |
