| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere O_holter,Yes, I am using the Aesthetix IO Signature analog source with the Octave Jubilee along with the Mcintosh MVP 891 3D Blu Ray SACD player for digital. The amps are Mcintosh MC2301 and work beautifully with this combination. I have experimen... | |
| Best cartridge for SME 5 Tonearm? The Benz LPS or the Benz Ruby make a good pairing with the SME V arm. A few here, including myself have used that combination with success | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere Not sure if you heard about the German brand Octave. I had the HP500 SE for a while than sold that and purchased the Octave Jubilee preamp. Before I purchased the Octave Jubilee, I tested the Einstein preamp. Though it was good, and bass was artic... | |
| What should I sell these for used here? Buyers? How come those speakers look like one of the B&W series (600)? They look real close at first glimpse. | |
| Whole House Surge Absorber. How about one of these:http://store.acousticfrontiers.com/Environmental-Potentials-EP-2050-Whole-House-Surge-Protector.htmlSeems to be an audio related surge protector. Audioquest4life | |
| Verity vs B&W I am not sure you will get an accurate response to your question since their are many varying opinions. For example, this statement "but the tweeter's usually wear you down over time; diamond or aluminum (Zd542, 2014)", is not my impression and ce... | |
| SME 20/2 w SME V arm- Cartridge recommendations I have to endorse the V arm with Benz LPS combination as well. Absolutely stunning sounding combination. The Benz Ruby Z is also a nice match with the V arm. | |
| Two subwoofers Where you get the SMS 1's? It is not for sale on the Velodyne website anymore. I want to use two for my setup. Thx.Audioquest4life | |
| Two subwoofers I am assuming when you mean out of synch, you are referring to out of phase? I am guessing one sub set at 180 and the other 0. I pondered similar issues a few years ago. My old 15" sealed 1000 watt sub watt (B&W Nautilus ASW 850) has been a wo... | |
| Typical Characteristics of a McIntosh / B&W system The typical listening environment is not conducive for critical listening. For general music, yes; however, if you want to obtain absolute clarity without speaker-room interaction anomalies, then you must treat the room. Unless you treat the room,... | |
| Best Bulk Cable Google Neotech ac cable. A few places sells this pure OFCC cable in varying gauges, either copper or silver. Have used for years with great results on solid state and tube gear.Audioquest4life | |
| Can US 220v be used to power foreign 220v pieces? Why not use a step-up transformer? They can be had for cheap on Amazon and work really well. I am using a 1500 watt one for two German made Octave MRE 130 tube amps. Audioquest4life | |
| Shocking 3D sound in 2 channel Happens all of the time when the moon,earth, and sun are all aligned with your temporal state of mind. In all seriousness, the elements of a 3D presentation are easily achieved once all of the factors mentioned above coalesce to form a soundscape ... | |
| Tempo Electric Silver Cables Yes, I can provide an actual use overview. It was that paper and the philosophy of Dr. Loesche I learned from his obituary: http://www.newcomeralbany.com/obituary.aspx?obitid=56583 and other things I learned about him and his engineering feats. Fr... | |
| Lower Volume from One Monoblock Have you tried reversing the interconnect cables? Try swapping the cables from the preamp to the mono amps to eliminate the possibility of the preamp causing this problem. Also, are your cables of the same length and same kind? I had a similar iss... |
