| Arcam vs. Creek vs. Rega All of these units are great little CDP's - lotsa bang per buck. My local dealer sells all three. Over the past year I've noticed that he has the Creek and Arcam on carbon fiber isolation shelves. He also mentioned that the Arcam FMJ needed extra ... | |
| Why are my cables balanced ? I might not be as vehement as Jadem6, but I'd say that the guy at the shop should know better. ...Is this guy a junior salesman or one of the head honcho's? If he's one of the top dogs he's either stupid, dishonest or both. For a fairly simple exp... | |
| Balanced vs RCA Interconnects As Cornfedboy suggests theres more to it than balanced or not, or which IC sounds good/better? ...Its a matter of how the component you are connecting was engineered to be operated. For example certain designs such as BAT or Sim Audio are fu... | |
| Anyone heard Mogami Cables I have not personally listened to Mogami, but a friend in the recording industry has his entire studio wired with Mogami. ...He claims that in pro audio Mogami is THE NAME in audio cable. | |
| What equipment do you really like? Eggleston Ivy's, adequate amplification (similar caliber electronics) and a fortress of a listening "space" in which to listen. - Just for the sheer excess of it! :-) Those speakers look like they could bring a house down - with weight or with sound. | |
| BMI Whale vs King Cobra V2, others? Haven't tried the BMI, but I have a KCv2, a Viper V2 and a Black Mamba. The KC is on my CDP, the Viper on the pre, and the Mamba is on the Power amp. After swaping cords around from component to component (over several months) I can honestly say t... | |
| Cumulative Effects of Cables? Mgottlieb Thanks for your post! I too have found the most significant differences in sound when swaping out IC's from between the pre & power. I've also noticed a similar effect in swaping AC power cords between components. While one can hear ... | |
| Dunlavy Cantatas What Power Amp? Personally I believe that Sim Audio's W-5 is the best bang for the buck in the category you are looking at. John Dunlavy recommends Spectron amps. While one doesn’t read much about Spectron they appear to make an interesting product.If I'm not mis... | |
| Shipping from Canada to the U.S. Damn! …my paragraph spacing disappeared when I submitted my reply. ...Hope it's still understandable. | |
| Shipping from Canada to the U.S. I run a distribution business in Canada, and think I may be able to provide a few insights into this import/export question. The business I run in Canada is an import/wholesale operation and we ship many goods to and from the U.S. We have used UPS... | |
| HiFi is an opinion - nothing more As observed by others Larry is attempting to evoke a reaction simply for sport. ...Why provide him with amunition? Let the thread die here. | |
| Do Dealers think it is sinful.......... Hey Dustych! Thanks for the formatting info. It worked as prescribed. | |
| Do Dealers think it is sinful.......... Kendall43 What makes you believe that you are getting 25% off? Does the dealer show you his invoices, his mark up, and then give you 25% off? ...If so, is this guy a family member and what is his name? I’m sure we’d all like to get 25% off for nut... | |
| Best 12" Driver? Bro. Ray I have heard good reviews of the 12" driver used in NHT's 3.3 I can't think of the manufacturers name, but I'm certain that it wouldn't be difficult to find. Its my understanding that these woofers offer quite good performance esp. consid... | |
| Krell, Classe or Bryston? All of the amps you mention are great. Classe is definately smooth, but is a tad laid back. Bryston is super strong, but lacks the rythm and can seem hard edged by comparison. As for Krell you pay a lot for an amp that has neither the refinement o... |
