| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? Mrmitch, sometimes a brand new product receives way too much attention. Then suffers from over-exposure. I think this may be the case with the Adagios.They have received a lot of press and were mentioned on every audio forum on the internet. Besid... | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx keep the amp powered up. No surprise this one is better than Krell KAV. FPB series is a different matter though and would be an interesting comparison with the MC402. | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Leica_man, just like you said, it is system dependent. Which is not surprising. I liked Aqueous in my system better.I'm supposed to get my order this week. Will have to break them in, but Cable Co is doing a pre-burn right now, which should at lea... | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx Take a look at Pass Labs amps. I run X250.5 with N803. Can't complain. | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx I also agree with Arthur about speakers. N804 by nature don't go low in the bass. Krell will definitely help to bring out some bass impact, but ultimately, if you like B&Ws, you should go hear the 803D. IMO these speakers are a big improvement... | |
| MC402 vs FPB 300cx I would choose the Krell. I heard the MC402 with B&W 803S and it was pretty good, but nothing I would buy though. If you want speed, detail and bass slam, then go for Krell. Since you're using tubed pre, I think you will be good with the Krell... | |
| Break in period 03-11-07: ShadorneIf I gave you well known names from respected engineering and manufacturering bands like Sony, Denon, Pioneer, and Yamaha would this help? Since it is not that difficult to design stable and reliable audio electronics these days ... | |
| Pass & Plinius Amps It depends on which Pass amps you're talking about?I run X250.5 with Audio Research LS-25 tubed preamp with B&W N803 speakers. Very nice.So I guess it will also depend on which preamp you will pair the amp with. I heard my amp with Totem Mani-... | |
| acoustic zen bi,s or shotgun? you're welcome | |
| acoustic zen bi,s or shotgun? Satori Shotgun is designed for use wityh a 3-way speaker. The leads are High-Pass and Low-Mid Pass. I believe the Forest are 2-way. So the HologramII could be a better fit. Why don't you e-mail Lee and ask him. | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Geo, you MUST audition these cables before you buy. The key to auditioning is not to jump to conclusions too soon. Cable Company gives you about 2 weeks. Take your time and don't rush. Both the cables you mentioned are absolutely great. It is just... | |
| Music that has good cymbals Patricia Barber Companion cd track 7 "black magic woman".Good track to evaluate the system in general. Drums, cymbals, bass, vocals, hammond B3, bongos. Very dynamic music.Patricia Barber's Nardis on Cafe Blue is good too, but I think the recordin... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Leica_Man, were you auditioning the PAD Anniversary Aqueous? Bi-wire or single?And yes, the cables are very system-dependent. That is why auditioning in your own rig is a must! | |
| Opinions on Audio Research LS17 & LS26 Pixette246, what was your preamp before the LS-26? | |
| Warm Power Cord? get warm sounding speakers or components. tube equipment usually has a degree of warmth.Buy some good all copper interconnects and speaker cables. I would not expect a power cord to add any significant amount of warmth to the sound. At least I've ... |
