| Pre Amp for $400 ?? Did you have a SF Line-1? Did you get things figured out on that and are you looking for a $400 preamp to replace that or for another system? | |
| Changed the power cord to SignalCable Magic Power cord on my CroMag II Receptacle and dedicated circuits if you haven't done so already. If you haven't done this you will be amazed again on your new PC. | |
| Proac D48R Not much doesn't sound great on Proac's, especially with ARC driving them. If you're looking for CDP what's your budget? If you're ok buying used, an ARC CD3 is a nice player. I once owned a CD2 and it sounded nice on Proacs. I've dragged my Cambr... | |
| Speaker Placement Look up how Wilson Audio teaches their sales reps to set up speakers. A lot of people bash Wilson's but their setup technique works. It's real simple, and it's using your voice with your ears. | |
| interconnect choice Received my WyWires Silver XLR IC and compared it to my Clear Days and here's my opinion on the difference between the two.The WyWires is definitely smoother and has a little bigger stage with more depth to the backstage. Definitely a little more ... | |
| interconnect choice Pretty sure Morrow's also use no shield whatsoever, except on their phono cables and they do it differently from others. Have not heard their cables but have read up on their construction and I have no doubt they sound very nice. Lots of people ra... | |
| interconnect choice I just purchased a WyWires Silver balanced IC and will have it this week. Will be interesting to see how it compares to my Clear Days. I will compare and report back.I would recommend staying away from shielded IC’s. Non shielded IC’s are usually ... | |
| InfiniCaps or V cap upgrades for ARC LS7 Meant after I sold my LS7, not LS3. The LS3 was a better preamp. My dad had one when I had my LS7 and we did compare them and there was no comparison. | |
| InfiniCaps or V cap upgrades for ARC LS7 A LS7 no matter what you do to it is going to outshine a MW SWL 9.0SE. It's not just a cap upgrade it needs. I tried NOS tubes in mine and etc. it just wasn't a great design, was short lived and the LS8 wasn't much better... short lived too I reca... | |
| InfiniCaps or V cap upgrades for ARC LS7 I owned a LS7 when it first came out. I wouldn't spend the money for a couple reasons. Not that they demand a lot of money today, but modifying it will reduce its value. I never thought it was all that good of a preamp to begin with; it wasn't hor... | |
| Proac D48R If you can stretch you budget a little ARC VSi75. In my experience, ProAcs love ARC tubes. The VSi75 should be enough to drive your speaks.On the SS side Pass INT-60.Both amps a little outside your budget but your speakers are worth it. What are y... | |
| Power Cables For an Adcom 5802 I wouldn't go crazy. Kimber PK10 Ascent will be plenty good or find a used but same PK10 Gold. $400 or less new. If you don't have dedicated circuits and decent receptacles to start with you're not going to hear the full potentia... | |
| Recommendations for XLR interconnect cables on a BAT system Clear Day Cables. Reasonably affordable silver cable with nice XLRs. Very open, extended cable with no edge at all. I use them and have tried them on Pass, ModWright, ARC and Sonic Frontiers on Aerial Acoustics and ProAcs. No risk at all because y... | |
| Amp choices The Aragon and Parasound are both nice amps, but they are different sounding from each other. I agree with others your SF are very nice speakers and I would look at a more refined amp than the Parasound if you're looking to replace what you have. ... | |
| Amp choices I have a Pass and know the Halo A series amps and there's no comparison. Not even close. I have a X250 not a .8. The older X250 is still a great amp and can be had for a lot less than the .8. I'm sure the .8 is better and that will be my next amp,... |
