| Amp for Thiel CS6 The stores I've been in that carry Thiel had them hooked up to Krell in one room and Mark Levinson in another. You might like the Bryston 7B-ST, great quality and it costs less than mono's in Krell or Mark Levinson--you can't beat the warranty eit... | |
| Is Wadia back? Thanks for the article. I can't wait to listen to some of the promised "affordable" products. | |
| Help my MonsterPower HTS3500 is humming With the lights off (window provides plenty of light), only the pre-amp causes the hum. If I turn on the CD player there is no hum. The weird thing is that when I had the system set up in my other room there was no hum. I can't move it back, thoug... | |
| Damping Factor of Muscal Fidelity A3cr Not sure, but its gotta be good to rate a Class A from Stereophile. You might check the spec sheet on Audio Advisor (www.audioadvisor.com). Not sure if they have the info you're looking for, but I know they sell the amp. | |
| Help my MonsterPower HTS3500 is humming I have nothing else in the system. CD player, pre-amp, amp, speakers. Pure listening. The only thing else in the room is a chair. I thought the hum might be caused by plugging the amp into the wall instead of the powercenter, or perhaps both of th... | |
| 9B-ST for Home Theater Amp To answer the post above, check the 9B-THX review that Stereophile did (Vol.23 No.9) - also check Bryston's site for more reviews. Looking through my 2001 Recommended Components list from Stereophile I show they rated it Class A. | |
| Greatest sonic impact: cables or ICs You may find some of Audioquest's older stuff for cheap at your local dealer or here on Audiogon. They recently changed their whole construction to Perfect Surface instead of regular high purity copper and silver. I got a good deal on some Sterlin... | |
| Best CD player under 5000 Meridian 508.24 -- Stereophile Class A ($3995)Sony SCD-1 -- Stereophile Class A+ ($5000)I've listened to both. I own the Meridian. They are spectacular. I'm not sure if Sony is selling the SCD-1 anymore. It plays SACDs and normal CDs. SACD may not... | |
| 9B-ST for Home Theater Amp I use Energy C-8's for front, C-6's for rears. Energy has no comperable center channel, so I went with the most neutral speaker, PMC LB-1 (essentially a professional monitor). I know I've broken every rule in the book by using a different tweeter ... | |
| 9B-ST for Home Theater Amp Thanks for the responses. I auditioned Aragon (Palladium, 8008) and Proceed when I was looking for my audio amp. I settled on the 4B-ST. My impressions were as follows:Aragon - musicalProceed - raunchy powerB&K - had punch, sort ofBryston - pu... | |
| Cable Arrangement Suggestions If you must cross power cables with inteconnects, do so at 90 degrees to each other. Keep the speaker cables away from the interconnects. I've been told that the interconnects are much more sensitive than speaker wire, because they send a low volt... | |
| Your vote - BEST CD PLAYER in the world?? Meridian 508.24. Considering that the CD itself is based on digital technology from the late 70's, I feel that the Meridian player hardly constitutes the lable "old school." Long live this excellent player! :) | |
| Power cord for Meridian 508.24 I use Transparent PowerLink Super. However, I also have the Meridian and my pre-amp plugged into a Monster Powercenter 3500. Every little bit helps, right? | |
| need help with 5 channel amp Go with a used Parasound or Acurus. Both make a 5 channel. I've seen the Acurus used for $1250. I haven't looked at Paradigm speakers for several years, but if I remember correctly they are fairly easy to drive. Are you sure you need more than 150... | |
| need help with 5 channel amp What kind of a budget, if you don't mind? 1K, 5K? You can get some pretty good used stuff for cheap. If you are considering Parasound, you might try Acurus as well. They make a 125x5, but they also have a 200x3 and a 200x2. Good clean power for no... |
