| Speakers for a Rega system I agree with all of the above on the Regas being a great match and extremely enjoyable. I also agree, however, that the R3s are a bit laid back and musical, all be it a bit euphonic and a bit "loose and bloated". Not a bad thing in a synergistic s... | |
| ATT / ST Optical Cable????? Tara labs also makes a beautiful ST glass cable for audio. It's been used in my system for a couple years and surpasses every other option I've tried.It is available if you would like to purchase it ($225).Thanks, | |
| How can I still hear my tuner when it's off? Brianmgrarcom:What kind of tuner do you have? If it's a Magnum Dynalab, what you're describing is normal (although a bit disconcerting). I've owned several MDs and still use one today, all of which exhibit this phenomenon. I actually contacted MD ... | |
| Best Cables for Eidolon/Boulder system Cjpark:I can't speak to the NBS or Purist, but I drive my Eidelons with a combination of Boulder and Pass Gear (among others) using mostly Tara "The One" ICs and speaker cables. The results is outstanding. The few Cardas cables I tried didn't meas... | |
| Pass 600 Monos vs Krell 350 monos Otoohot:Tough comparison. Personally, I don't believe the Krells are in the same league as the Pass 600s. The X600s are Pass' best sounding amps and absolutely light up the cheaper Krells or Levinsons. Depending upon which Krell you're considering... | |
| SME Model 10 Turntable...set-up tweaks? Fatparrot:Congradulations! You'll love that table. I currently use the 10 as well and have added a couple of notable tweaks and upgrades.As for isolation, the table itself does a remarkable job considering it is an unsprung design. Your tweak will... | |
| Speaker cable length for mono blocks Ivanj.:To followup on Cornfedboy's comment regarding previous threads, you may want to do a search for a post I started back in May on this very subject entitled "Speaker Cable Lengths - W/Monos". I received a lot of constructive Audiogoner assist... | |
| best dealer to buy a avalon speaker I've got to second (& third)a couple of the above recomendations. East: Terry Menacker at Overture.West: Carl Jerrits at Audio Unlimited.Both have been extremely helpful with products and advice.Good Luck. | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC-1 support options? Subaruguru:If looking for an inexpensive fix while exploring other options, try a set of BDR round things and cones. I had tremendous success on my EMC-1 with the "#3"s although the #4s worked.Remove the stock feet and place the round things again... | |
| Center Channel Amp Recommendations Kenny/Aaron:I was hoping for a couple of posts as constructive as these. You both make very good points.As for my seriousness about HT, it is hard for me to say until I actually start experiencing it. That being said, however, I usually end up ear... | |
| I just heard the Nautilus 800 Steves71:I've also been listening to the new 800s at my local dealer over the last three weeks. I had the same reaction. HUGE IMPROVEMENT!!! I'm a 802N owner as well and as much as I love them, they now sound somewhat dry and uninvolving compariti... | |
| Anyone Hear the New Nautilus 800 Yet? Thanks to the field for the comments. The comments on Base Extension make a lot of sense based upon my experience with my N802s. I may, in fact, consider a pair of Rels (I use one now) if the remainder of the frequency range and sonics are good en... | |
| B W N802 with Pass 350? This is a great combination. I've used it myself over the last year. I've now upgraded the X350 to the X600s, but the N802s have stayed. It is amazing what you can get out of the 802s with great gear. I believe have still yet to hear the 802s full... | |
| Best Tubes for Aesthetix IO Phono Stage? Gerrym5 & Kublakhan:Great assistance. Thanks. I'll research the referenced thread. Gerrym5, I'll also look forward to any additional info that you may have next week.Thanks again, | |
| B W 802N how much power? Running my N802s, I recently upgraded a Pass X350 stereo amp to X600 Monos. Unbelievable Difference!!! Especially in the base and transparency.You've got to ask yourself, however, is it a better sounding amp or is it the added power. Probably some... |
