| Placette, VS First Sound VS Audio Synthesis Passio Drubin,I understand your dissapointment in a way. BUT Paul W., from what I have heard makes some very, very special amps and pre-amps. Besides, its the quality and workmship along with support and r&d that makes a product worth owning in my op... | |
| Power cords for Wadia 861 I believe the answer to your question depends on what you want to "inprove" on in the players presentation.From my limited experience, the King Cobra v1 made the sound more beautiful and lush while maintaining the basic dynamic character of the pl... | |
| Sound Anchor Stands...worth the money? I love my Sound Anchors under my N801's. I think that overall the speakers "breathe" better. They are free to resonate without interacting with the floor and carpet so much. I feel like I am not hearing the floor in my music anymore, just the spea... | |
| WIREWORLD Silver Elipse 3+ or 5 Sonic Signiture Mike,I can comment on the Eclipse 3+ speaker cables (copper), the Eclipse 5 copper ic's, and the Gold Eclipse 3+ (silver) cables. I believe the Silver Eclipse and the Gold Eclipse is the same except for the termination. Please check. Those names, ... | |
| What is your cost for each system category ? Redwoodgarden,I do not truly know why you have posted this question. But I have seen many, many discussions on this matter of component cost vs. percetage of total system cost. I must say, with all respect, that looking at building an audio system... | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? My Wireworld ic's and speaker cables. These cables left me dazed and confused for a few weeks after installing them.Also, the Avantgarde/BAT demo room at the 2003 HES. That demo was the closest thing to actual live music I have ever heard. The sou... | |
| Good ROCK speakers Playing music at high levels with minimal distortion, I have learned is going to take some careful planning and some real dollars spent. If you truly wish to build a "system" that will reliably "rock" and sound clean, you will need to start with a... | |
| Bybees for just mid/highs and also Bass??? I am definitely going to try this tweak. I think I have someone in my area that can help me out. Thanks. | |
| Best one box CDP, Got it short listed to Four I am familiar with the original 861. This player is about dynamics and power. It seems to at times be a little too fast sounding to me. It can produce bass down deeper than you have ever heard. The midrange is powerfully sweet and clear. This play... | |
| Best one box CDP, Got it short listed to Four Magoo,It seems that you have spent some time and plenty of good coin on your system. Also, you have a large speaker system which needs to be controlled and driven cleanly or they will not boogie with crisp and lifelike precision. CD players sound ... | |
| Does bewiring decrease "wholeness" ? I second Gthirteen's post. My experience is with the N801's. I will add that I believe that your system should be fairly revealing if you are deciding to do a true biwire setup or else you may not hear the difference. Also, your level of playback ... | |
| suggestion for amp to go with B&W N803 Kabouter,I have been wondering how an Accuphase amp might mate with my N801's. So to your ears, the Accuphase sounded neutral? I might just like Accuphase amps if they truly are neutral. My impression through "reading" posts and mags was that thei... | |
| Bybees for just mid/highs and also Bass??? I have been thinking of installing the Bybee oem filters in my N801's. I am not sure how this may be done. Perhaps I will only be able to install them at the crossover. Any tips for me? | |
| Booming bass from my B&W Nautilus Hello,If you are serious about fine tuning your speakers output in your room, I would re-read Stehno's post a couple times. Then you will have to put in a little work and possibly some dough. You can email me if you like as I have learned much aft... | |
| Wadia owners - Cables - Which do you own? I was waiting for thread like this. I have recently been experimenting with silver ic's from Wireworld. I am really floored by what these cables can do. Their copper cables are outstanding in my system also. The soundstage is lit up and very detai... |
