| Is the Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun warm?? all I can say is try it. But my feeling is that this will be a side step at best. I also run SilverII/MatrixII interconnects and really like them. No plans on changing that. | |
| Is the Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun warm?? have you gotten your Pass amps?I just sold my AZ Satori Shotgun. Very good cable, especially with the B&Ws. But don't you run Purist Aqueous? You think going from these to Satori is a step up? Satori is warm sounding and doesn't lack dynamics ... | |
| Sacrilege Going from Tubes back to Solid State Mrtennis, "resolution" is an unfamiliar term to you, obviously.The year is 2006. You are still in the 1960s or 70s with your vintage tube gear sonic memories. You are dissatisfied with the sound of modern tube equipment. You hate solid state compo... | |
| Will I improve the qualitry of sound? You can improve the quality of sound, if that's your goal, by going with a better amp with more power. Sure going from 70w/ch to 130 of basically the same sounding amp will make the speakers sound a bit better just by providing more headroom, but ... | |
| Sacrilege Going from Tubes back to Solid State Look into Levinson and Pass Labs amps. if you can check out x.5 series of Pass amps(there are few currently available here used at decent prices), you may like what you hear. McIntosh MC402 is very nice too, as mentioned above, but if the speakers... | |

| My system is bright? I need help. thanks did you get your AZ interconnect cables yet? | |
| Harsh Transport when I had the DAC2, I tried it with my Marantz cd changer and the combo just plain sucked. I have a $60 Philips dvd player that I tried and it was a huge step up soincally over the changer. Then I got the Sony S7700 and it took it to another leve... | |
| Which Patricia Barber album floats yer boat? 10-16-06: Bobgates...but the percussion solo on the last cut "Black Magic Women" is especially outstanding.I used this track many times when auditioning components/systems to test the ability to display the outstanding dynamics in this percussion ... | |
| My system is bright? I need help. thanks While I think the Silver Ref MkII are excellent cables, in your case, and I already said that before, the Matrix will most likely be the one. Since you are going cd->integrated without any preamp, Silver in that configuration may be out of plac... | |
| My system is bright? I need help. thanks Scientist, you have daisy chained your surge protectors. Besides that you are degrading the performance of your gear by plugging it all into the HTS5100, you also managed to plug that unit into a cheaper, powerbar type surge protector. Has anyone ... | |
| New DAC to replace bel canto dac 2 I think I responded to your older thread before, or may be it was somebody else with a similar problem, but in any case, I suggested a Virtual Dynamics NiteII digital cable, with which I had none of the signal drop outs I experienced with other ca... | |
| Mark Levinson 434 's enough power for N804??? I think it should be nice.....given the fact you're not listening to heavy metal :) | |
| My system is bright? I need help. thanks oh, and you know what else to try....try switching from tube out stage to solid state on cd player then see if the hiss persists/keeps on increasing with volume on your integrated. | |
| My system is bright? I need help. thanks Scientist73, I have no idea what is wrong. But in my opinion, the amount of hiss you're getting should not change with different volume settings(although I am not familiar with MF equipment, normally, hiss is not an issue). MF equipment is tubed, ... |
