| Need recommendation for a dark sound interconnects What power filtration/regeneration to you have for your system? I think treating your source with a good powercord might work wonders, you can try less expensive first such as Signal Cable or Ernie's (subaruguru), or go for "dark" power cable such... | |
| Good Bass Floorstander under 1K If full bass is really important, I support the PSB Gold recommendations... their bass was realy impressive when I auditioned them-although I chose different speakers in the end. | |
| Triangle Titus 202 Opinions? For clarification, the tweeter problems were with the original XS, not the 202, whose name comes from the "new" 202 tweeter. I think these speakers are an exceptional value, although I can only speak for the larger floorstanders from direct experi... | |
| PSB SubSonic 5i for totem arros? I think the Subsonic wouldn't be able to keep up with the speed of the Arros (for music anyway). I would look for smaller subs, such as the pinnacle baby boomer or supersonic.. I believe there are some here on audiogon right now... $350 to 450.. N... | |
| Searching for Good Headphones & Headphone Amp You can't go wrong w/ Grado SR80 at $95 new. CI has been getting good reviews, but there is a lot to choose from at its price range, such as Gilmore, Headroom, and Grado amps.Good luck,Arni | |
| Sound anchor stands for B&W Nautilus 801's? I second Albert, based on my experience with Triangle Antals (floor standers) prior to- and after installation of Sound Anchor stands. Fuller and more defined bass, better defined soundstage. | |
| Whats a good inexpensive passive pre If your key workd is inexpensive regardless of inconvenience, then nothing beats EVS Ultimate attenuators. If you don't want to have to reach behind your amp to change the volume, Creek offers good sound for the value, and so does CI audio, both s... | |
| Clicking noise with M-Audio Audiophile USB I think it may be the USB bus on your computer. Is the M-Audio powered by the USB cable, or does it have an independent power supply? I had a similar problem using an external USB card with older VIA chipset/AMD computer, but the problem went away... | |
| Using Y-adapter to duplicate preamplifier outputs Yes, but varies based on the quality of the adaptor. I would recommend WBT or Cardas.. or have a professional install an extra output on your preamp.. not a big job at all. | |
| Please Help with DAC... Your money would be much better spennt modifying the player... this player is phenomenal once modified... check out the ads from Reference Audio Mods here on Audiogon, or better, EVS (tweakaudio.com). There is also hot discussion about this player... | |
| Recommendations for an Audio System on a budget?? Panasonic DVD-V/A changers as source (e.g. FX 87). Surprising sonics for the money ($100) NAD/Rotel/Marantz multichannel/multiroom receiver. This is where the money would have to be spennt. If she could find a bulk of used NHT super-one and outdoo... | |
| Good match with Triangle Antal XS?? My Antal 202 sounded a bit bright at first. Uppgraded interconnects, got better. Inserted a Monarchy upsampler into the digital chain, brightness almost disapeared.. but some disks remained too edgy. Now I have a Samsung universal player modified ... | |
| Monarchy DIP/Unsampler boxes effective tweak? Very effective, dejitters and softens the digital edge. There are some reviews posted on the Monarchy Audio site, check them out. In may experience the Upsampler sounds better, but it does not work with all dacs. The DIPs do, however. | |
| Sonographe sa250 Clarify please, is there more than one model of SA-250? | |
| Triangle Antal Speakers - How to drive? The Antals have a distinctive quality of quickness which is almost adictive. The midrange is phenomenal and the bass is tuneful and very tight. There have been complaints about the highs... too bright, in particular for the older xs version (impro... |
