| Pioneer CD & DVD as Transports The only CD-Rs my S7700 had problems with reading were the blank faced Phoenix CD-Rs I recorded 8 years ago on my Philips CD recorder. The rest of them read fine. I liked the Mitsui music CD-Rs the most for their sound qualities. | |
| Pioneer CD & DVD as Transports I don't know about Pioneer but I'd consider a Sony S7700. Really good as transport. Solid built. | |
| Is there a difference in balanced cables?? I just compared 2 different XLR interconnects in my system - Acoustic Zen Silver Ref MkII and Audience AU24. They sound very different. | |
| Newbie balanced cable help Tripper, I just got Silver Ref MkII in XLR and these are a huge improvement over AU24 XLRs. I was shocked. Thanks for the offer to let me try the BJCs in my system, but right now my amp is single ended. I will most likely be getting it upgraded so... | |
| Acoustic Zen Hologram biwire MKII Did you tell him it was 3-way speaker? Did you tell him it was Revel? Well, whatever Lee says, that's it I guess. He knows what he's talking about...he designed these cables after all. But for me he recommended Satori Shotgun when I said it was fo... | |
| arcam cd73 at end of life span? A used Bel Canto DAC2 will run you what the new CD73 costs, but will beat it by a nice margin. Even connected to your DVD player. This is a better approach IMO. Smoother, richer sound with less of digital grain. | |
| Acoustic Zen Hologram biwire MKII Satori Shotgun is for 3 way speakers. Hologram is for 2 way speakers. What speakers are the cables for? | |
| Bad Experience with B&W's: Anyone else? 1. They needed break in. Playing time about 500 hours. 2. B&W speakers will benefit from more power.3. Use only bi-wire speaker cables. In a worst case scenario, if using single run, connect them to the upper binding posts, not the lower ones.... | |
| Suggestions for fully shielded power cord... Clio, I had a feeling this would be a modded unit, but this is interesting. Should be nice. | |
| Suggestions for fully shielded power cord... Clio, I agree. Audience is one of the most versatile cords. I also had great results with it on the amp, pre-amp and digital. Just didn't compared it directly to Purist yet. Wonder what that'll show on my CDP. I borrowed few cords from cable compa... | |
| Suggestions for fully shielded power cord... Clio, I am trying this very same power cord on my cd player right now. My first impressions are that this cord is pretty neutral sounding, although I haven't run an "A/B" against my Audience PowerChord yet. | |
| Nordost Thor &State of the ART: Power conditioners That's great. I was planning on trying these Oyaide outlets as well. As far as PLCs go, I really like Shunyata Hydra2. It's got only 2 outlets in the back and you can separate digital and analog this way. These things definitely work. And they are... | |
| interconnects ? AZ Matrix Ref MkII(well balanced for brighter systems) or Silver Ref MkII(for greater resolution), AZ Satori Shotgun speaker cable. You have to try in your system though. But I think with Krell, the Matrix Ref MkII may be a better match. | |
| Nordost Thor &State of the ART: Power conditioners Owl, what makes you think that the PLC can fix that problem? Just curious. Because with power conditioners you usually get improved imaging, focusing and soundstaging. Tighter bass and less grain on vocals. All results of a lowered noise floor. PL... | |
| Anybody use Running Springs Audio Conditioners? Teajay, I am curious about the Running Springs Audio conditioners as well. Do you know if it's balanced power? I am trying out in my system right now a Blue Circle MR800 balanced power conditioner. I need the unit only for the source. So far I fou... |
