| DCCA powerchords VS Elrod statement powerchords ? I had the "Source" for about 3 weeks now. I prefer this cord on my cdp over Audience and Shunyata Taipan Helix Alpha. It basically has all the quailities I was looking for, but where it exceeded my expectations was in soundstaging. The size of the... | |
| VTI Racks Any good? 4yanx, I bought the BL404, used it for a week and returned it. It's a POS. Not good at all. First time I experienced the rack screwing up the sound. It looks nice, but is cheaply made, very lightweight and you will need to spend more money on isol... | |
| Second round of auditions under my belt If you can, audition these: Focus Audio FS888 B&W 803DTotem Mani-2 Signature(cheapest of the bunch but amazing) Dynaudio S5.4 | |
| Pass Labs vs. Cary Jwin, that's my next preamp, the Ref2!!!!I love the way ARC pairs with Pass. I've had ARC preamps with different amps over time, but the combo of ARC and Pass running fully balanced is superior to anything I ever had in my system. | |
| Pass Labs vs. Cary Jtwrace , are you running the Pass combo in balanced or single ended config? I don't know about your X250, but my X250.5 sounds noticibly better when run in balanced mode. So if you running it single-ended, there is something to cinsider before yo... | |
| Pass Labs X250 vs. X350 I think when people say X250.5 sounds better than X350 they are only talking about timbral qualities. I am pretty sure that the X350 would still drive the more difficult speakers better than the X250.5.I do agree though that a more proper comparis... | |
| tubed preamp off and ss amp left on? have you tried what I suggested earlier? about the cable tv.... | |
| tubed preamp off and ss amp left on? Twc, if your cable tv is nearby, you should also try disconnecting the coax cable tv wire at its first point of entry and then turn your rig on and see if the hum is gone. If there's no more hum, you need a ground loop isolator which will take car... | |
| Best movies last two years Skaloumbakas, how does your post fit into this thread? | |
| levinson lexus sound? amazing that most replies relate to SUVs.In my LS430, the Levinson system kicks ass. Flat out tone controls and it sounds really nice. Everyone who has listened to it is very impressed.I have not heard a system in an SUV that sounded better than t... | |
| why the PC change the tonal on my gears. Andrewdoan, I tried that same power cord and it changed the sound in a negative way. System sounded very dull, undefined and with rolled off highs. I gave it a full 30 day break in and returned it. You are right, the stock cords were better!Power ... | |
| Anyone settled in on Purist Aqueous interconnects? I'd be curious about these too. I tried the speaker cable recently(thanks for your contrib Boa2 on that thread I opened) and thinking of borrowing a whole set again after new years to try as a system. Really liked the sp cables though...they are v... | |
| Best movies last two years I decide to suggest few more as I recently seen some cool flix off of netflix!"Don't Move" with Penelope Cruz and Sergio Castellitto. Definitely this one ranks at the very top of my list."The Star Maker" again with Sergio Castellitto. Excellent!"L... | |
| Any thoughts on the Audio Research LS 8 mk II ARC SP line of units are single ended. You may want to check out SP16. Or LS-15....I ran mine single-ended for years and it was awesome. | |
| Applications for Shunyata Hydra ? haven't tried the new Guardian. Using Hydra4 right now. Had 2 Hydra2 units before. Your cdp and preamp will benefit from Hydra. Your amp may or may not. My McCormack amps benefitted from Hydra but my Pass amp does not. I preffer this amp run direc... |
