| Analysis Plus Oval 8 Vs Acoustic Zen Satori Satori Shotgun would be a better fit in my opinion. B&Ws like to be bi-wired with separate runs and that is the Satori Shotgun. I use these in my system with great results on B&W N803 with Acoustic Zen ICs. Tough to beat for what they cost... | |
| Which player has all this???? Baffled, you are on the right path with the tube pre. SACD I don't know about. Personally, I would go for dedicated redbook player or a good external dac. I am willing to bet you will have more redbook discs than SACDs to listen to. And please do ... | |
| New Acoustic Zen Adagio loudspeakers very little known company called Acoustic Zen. | |
| New Acoustic Zen Adagio loudspeakers Hey Phil. I was actually going to e-mail you to see if you heard these. Just curious what they sound like. Thanks for the link. Transl, thanks, I searched the asylum and found some pics there. | |
| New Acoustic Zen Adagio loudspeakers is there a picture of these speakers somewhere on the net? Just curious what they look like. | |
| Which player has all this???? By reading your previous post I think I have an idea what you are trying to achieve. However, I would suggest getting a dedicated tube pre-amp first along with a new set of analog interconnects that will go from Denon dvd player to your pre-amp an... | |
| Which cd player: New /w Mod or just plain new? My opinion regarding the mods is that the mods done by a professional modder can make a difference. Drawback is that if you want to sell the component, you will not be able to get nearly as much back as you spent. Solution is to buy used modded co... | |
| Are there different size toslink connectors? Bigkidz, this is the cable I was talking about when you send me an e-mail earlier. It can be configured different ways, tos-to-tos or tos-to-mini. check it out..... http://gallery.bcentral.com/GID5134202P4306847-2-Interconnects/4-Optical/The-Optoc... | |
| Advice on stand alone DAC Running into Yamaha receiver? In my opinion buying an external dac would be a waste of money. Why not just run your DVD player into Yamaha via digital cable and use Yamaha's dac to do the work for redbook cd playback? Otherwise, if you really crav... | |
| How to tame the midrange??? I own N803 and found the room acoustics to play a big role in the way these speakers sound. I use Echobusters corners and 8th nerve seems. Drapes behind the speakers and a rug on the floor. Seems that all these things do the job well. Also, and ma... | |
| who makes a good toslink cable? WireWorld SuperNova3 or SuperNova5 - very affordable, glass toslink. Tell you the truth, in my system the differences between the 3 and 5 are very minimal. I use SuperNova5 just for the sake of having the latest version, but heard almost no improv... | |
| Herbie's Hal-O tube dampener's on Calypso? That's cool John. By the way, back to Herbie's hal-O damping instruments. I experimented with them in my pre-amp and found them to work best(improvement is most noticable) when they are installed at the very top of the tube. Installing them in the... | |
| Herbie's Hal-O tube dampener's on Calypso? didn't mean to read you a lecture... | |
| Herbie's Hal-O tube dampener's on Calypso? John, I don't think tapping on tubes is such a good idea. It's very unlikely that this is a proper way of finding the most microphonic tubes. You can probably end up damaging the tubes like that. Here is a pretty cool article about NOS tubes that ... | |
| How to tame the midrange??? Adding a dedicated tube stereo pre-amp will help a lot. There are excellent tube pre-amps with processor put-through, so you can still run your theater but for 2 channel stereo you will hav e a dedicated pre. Secondly, B&W speakers require bi-... |
