| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen @bdp24 I purchased the double shotguns from another a'goner. But Paul was still nice enough to recommend the double shotguns for my speakers. I am purchasing jumpers from Paul though.Since this is my first foray into the world of specialized cabl... | |
| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen Folks, I just want to give a quick update. While researching the Clear Day cables, I had exchanged a few emails with Paul (owner). I asked him how the cables might perform in my system. He told me that he was not comfortable making any recommendat... | |
| Class D Technology Admittedly, I have limited experience with Class D. About three years ago, I bought a Peachtree Nova 125. At first, I loved the 'sparkle' that it produced at the high end. But shortly thereafter, I kinda got tired of it. I felt like I was listenin... | |
| Upgrading power cord.. proven upgrade? or crap? I see a few posters here recommending plugging your amp directly into the wall socket. Isn't that risky? How do you protect your equipment from power surges if you forego any kind of surge protection? | |
| Clear Day vs Acoustic Zen @jmcgrogan2 - First of all thank you for the detailed response. This is very helpful. So as far as my speakers are concerned, I feel that they can be a little on the bright side on certain songs. Also, sometimes they sound a bit more on the 'thin... | |
| I NEED AN AMP!! BUT WHAT?? HELP PLEASE!! +1 for Parasound A23 ... I had it before I moved up to A21. Amazing value for the price! I found they had enough oomph and were very nicely balanced. | |
| Help me with the upgrade path Aargh!!! I got busy over the weekend and the AZ Satories have already been sold. Should have moved more quickly. | |
| Help me with the upgrade path I see AZ Satoris on sale here:https://www.audiogon.com/listings/speaker-acoustic-zen-satori-shotgun-8ft-pair-2016-10-19-cables-481...Very tempting :) | |
| Help me with the upgrade path @erik_squires I completely agree with you on this one. And usually this is the first (and best) piece of advise I always get. Unfortunately, my audio room is also the main living room, so I'm severely constrained in this aspect of my setup - furn... | |
| Help me with the upgrade path @hifiman5 My components are placed on a regular TV console (glass surface). Do you think taking care of this situation will lead to better results than, say swapping out the speaker wires with something better?My dilemma is that I'm trying to mak... | |
| Help me with the upgrade path @auxinput - thanks for the Oppo suggestion. I never thought of that before. I need to do some further research to see how it stacks up against Bluesound. If the sound quality is the same, then it's tempting to score a great blue ray player at the ... | |
| Help me with the upgrade path Thanks for the feedback, guys. Really appreciate it.I'm also seriously considering Acoustic Zen Santori. Quite a number of members at audiogon (whose opinion I value very highly) have also recommended AZ Santori. As for Apple TV, I was almost read... | |
| LSA1's - Anyone familar with them? Are you talking about the Statements or the Signatures? I owned the Signatures that I bought from Walter for around $1000 and kept for almost 4 years. Apparently, they now sell for $600. Usually, that’s not a good sign, as you can be assured that ... | |
| Suggest affordable cable options Believe it or not, ever since i posted my last message here, i've been on the road almost constantly ... either that, or working 14 hour days. ugh!!Anyways, since most of my listening is via streaming nowadays, I've decided to address the network ... | |
| Suggest affordable cable options Thanks for the great ideas everyone. To be honest, given the variety and breadth of the advice, I’m even more confused now, ha!Based on what I read, here’s what I took away:1. Higher price does not necessarily equate to better performance.2. Buyin... |
