| Speaker break in? Absolutely! 250-500 hours playing time should do it for virtually any higher-end speaker.peter jasz. | |
| Amp advice for Thiel cs7 Tom Munro's rec's are excellent. What IC/power cables are you using? You should be able to extract quite a bit from the CA-300.peter jasz | |
| Budget speaker wire B&W 803 from Classe CA101 Consider a single run of XLO Pro-600 speaker wire (approx. US$6/ft. If your 803's are bi-wireable get a second run of XLO Pro-600 (at a later date to save money now) or the Pro-1200 US$$12/ft (internal bi-wire).Kimber Kable 4TC or 8TC (8TC twice t... | |
| Considering the Rule of Diminishing Returns....... Check out the PSB Stratus Goldi speakers (approx $2,500 US$). They are a three-way tower featuring 10", 6" and 1" drive units.

| Best or most profound sleeper product In the Interconnect/speaker wire department XLO's Pro-125/1-M IC (Single-ended only) @ about $80.00 US$ is very, very good (for the price), as is XLO's Pro-600 spkr wire, (about $6/ft.)peter jasz | |

Some preamps offer the provision to change polarity at the remote. Expirementing with this reveals very little... | |
| Richard Gray 1200S, Hydra or ???? If you haven't already, consider top-notch PC's first and then consider AC line conditioning/regeneration. Also, on your new AC lines; Are they connected to the same phase at the electrical box? They should be. New wiring and receptacles also take... | |

| Speaker cables for Revel F30's with Bryston 9b st? Kimber 4TC/8TC or XLO Pro-1200 speaker wire should do very nicely in that price point.peter jasz | |
| PS Audio 300 vs Tice powerblock II The PS Audio P-300 is a fantastic device for front-end components. However, connecting both digital and analog equipment into the P-300 (when powered up simultaneously) appears to result in an edge/slight brightness in sound. I can only imagine th... | |
| Electrostatic speaker cables... Hello Dennis. Try the Kimber Bi-Focal"X" (9ga), or "XL" (5.5ga). This speaker wire is neutral, transparent with excellent focus and enveloping sound-staging (depth, width and height). This series posesses the rare quality of being neutral, quick a... | |
| High Sensitvity = good transient response ? Could you be referring to dynamic range as opposed to transient response? If that's the case, higher sensitivity speakers generally appear to sound more dynamic --or have greater dynamic range/swing than lower senstivity models. | |
| Review: Kimber Select KS-1030 Interconnect Without a doubt a superb IC. Transparent, detailed, delicate and nuanced, stage-champ, awesome focus, tonality, top-to-bottom coherency and extension and that illusive and remarkable quality of resolving instrument and vocal tones with a natural c... |
