| Do female audiophiles exist My sister is. She has a decent setup and is anxiously waiting for her new Elac Uni-Fi UB5's to ship. She has a Pro-Ject table and a fairly large vinyl collection.A female friend of hers has a old Hafler amp with Vandersteens that sounds nice. They... | |
| Is it necessary to use the same cable brand and model for bi-wiring?? I wouldn't get too hung up on spending a ton of money on speaker cables for your Wharfedale's which I'm sure is a nice set of speakers. A very good and neutral biwire jumper by Clear Day Cables will work just fine. All cables are some sort of a to... | |
| Is it necessary to use the same cable brand and model for bi-wiring?? What are you currently using for cables? You might want to look into or making your own set of jumpers instead of the jumper strips that came with your speakers. Also experiment the configuration on how to hook up cables with jumpers. There's plen... | |
| Cable Brands If you’re looking for value, Clear Day Cables are very good and they have very nice ends. If your budget allows WyWires are worth the extra cost. On a Krell I’d go with the WyWires as they are very neutral and smooth; not at all lean or bright. Bo... | |
| Aragon 8008bb/Mk. 2 The LS17SE is a very nice preamp. If you're looking at a new Parasound A21 I'd suggest an older Pass X250 for about the same price. The A21 is a really nice amp but it doesn't compete with the Pass. No doubt the LS17SE and A21 will mate well but t... | |
| Aragon 8008bb/Mk. 2 I use Kimber PK10 Golds and WyWires Silver PC's. The Kimber's are really good but the WyWires are more open. WyWires has really won we over. I have a pair of WyWires Silver speaker cables with Silver jumpers on the way; should have them any day. A... | |
| BARNES & NOBLE HAS VINYL!!!!! BUT IS THE QUALITY UP TO AUDIOPHILE STANDARDS ???? Just picked up Diana Krall, Stepping Out. Picked up one for my Dad too. Double LP, 180g purple vinyl. Sounds pretty darn good to me. No surface noise. With my B&N membership it was under $25; didn't feel that was bad. I've purchased many album... | |
| Aragon 8008bb/Mk. 2 AZ no but AQ yes. Hear plenty of positive comments and reviews on the AZ's. AQ makes fine cables but like a lot of the bigger name companies I feel their top tier stuff has gotten out of control on price and their entry and more affordable cables ... | |
| Aragon 8008bb/Mk. 2 Can't speak for that model specifically but guessing it sounds very similar to the previous Mondial owned I believe was the original company nameGood powerful amp that has a big sound. Can probably handle any speaker you're going to throw at it. N... | |
| Long XLR Interconnect Cables My Dad actually prefers his later generation AQ Lapis and Diamonds over his KCAG. All his cables are single ended, but I took my CD balance over to his place to see how it faired against his Diamonds which run between his Sonic Frontiers preamp an... | |
| Long XLR Interconnect Cables The CD balance cable is a great cable, especially for the price. My father has a KCAG which I have used much and I think the Kimber is a fine cable too but yes they are pricier. His KCAG is single ended so I'm not sure it's a fair comparison but I... | |
| Long XLR Interconnect Cables I have not tried Mogami but I have a lot of Canare which I suspect is close in sound. I use the Canare on stage for mic’s and etc. and it is very good; especially for the money. Maybe the Mogami destroys the Canare, but I can tell you my balanced ... | |
| Audioquest Rocket 88 vs Audience OHono ll speaker cables If you’re just using the factory speaker binding strips, you might be surprised what a decent set of jumpers can do. Clear Day Cables jumpers are stupid good and won’t break the bank. Also experiment on not just hooking the speaker wires only to t... | |
| best integrated amp. I have listened to the 1.7s with many amps including a small Cayin tube integrated and that even sounded nice. but throw an amp with some muscle behind it and they become great speakers. I've not heard this piece but owning a couple of their pream... | |
| Pre Amp for $400 ?? Look for a old tube tech; there's plenty of them around. Might not be that hard to fix. No $400 preamp is going to come close to what you're used to. I preferred my former ModWright SWL 9.0 SE over the SF Line 1 and if you wait around you can find... |
