| MIT Power Cables What is the way to go? While the MIT power cables are fine, they are overpriced for the performance offered. I would suggest that instead of getting power cables, you upgrade your cabling to the new MA series (Magnum or Oracle depending upon budget) from MIT; that will ... | |
| darTZeel NHB-18NS Precisely. How one can pay that much money without a home audition is beyond me. | |
| Best rack for Ayre gear KXr/MXR If you can afford it, the HRS MXR stand with M3 1921 platforms will work very nicely. Alternatively, you can use the HRS SXR stand with M3 1921 platforms or just use the M3 platforms by themselves (which is what I'm doing) and the Ayre MX-Rs have ... | |
| Preamp for McCormack DNA500 That's the first thing that came to mind as well; stay in the family. | |
| The space between the speakers Essentially, all the comments above are accurate. Ideally you want nothing between the speakers but real life means most of us don't have room for a dedicated audio shrine. As suggested above, if at all possible, ensure that the speakers are at le... | |
| Looking for a new CD player. Rotel 1072 is a very nice CDP in that pricerange; I don't think you can go wrong with it. Frankly, I liked it better than the Ayre CX-7e which is quite a bit more. | |
| Are Theta amps made by Ayre ? The now out of production Dreadnaught I was essentially designed by Charles Hansen of Ayre. Theta then took the basic modules used in that design and went all out to create the Citadel monos. Later, Theta took the Dreadnaught I and tweaked it to m... | |
| Ayre KX-R pre? My earlier preamp was a Levinson 326S but when I picked up the KX-R I was running direct with no preamp (although I still had the 326S on hand to compare with the KX-R). | |
| Anyone heard the new Focal Grande Utopia EM? That's not surprising. The amount of customization by itself lets the speaker be fine tuned to an extent no Utopia model could dream of. Add to that the EM woofer and rebuilt drivers and you have something that should impress. | |
| Nova Utopia Be or Dynaudio Temptation\Wilson Maxx He'll be fine and I'm sure it will sound excellent. No need to change anything. | |
| Ayre KX-R pre? Thanks for calling me on this. No suspense, I bought the KX-R. Decay, transparency, bass control, soundstaging, etc.; there isn't a single aspect of the performance of my system that isn't improved by the KX-R so it was a rare "no-brainer" upgrade... | |
| Mit oracle ma-x, ma, v1.2,v2.2,v2.1 Ic Essentially, the Oracle MA adds a substantial increase in liquidity, superior low end control and improved top-to-bottom articulation and detail retrieval. That's not to say the Magnum MA isn't an excellent cable, it's just that the Oracle MA buil... | |
| Anyone heard the new Focal Grande Utopia EM? Check again:http://www.bluelightaudio.com/evo_mm3.html | |
| CD on Esoteric UX3-SE My understanding from an Esoteric dealer is that the universal X-03 and X-01 units perform worse than the stand alone units in music playback, but that ultimately, it is up to the system being used as to whether that differences are detectable and... | |
| Ever feel like we are going nowhere here? It would definitely be nice if people would actually use the search function instead of asking the same inane questions over and over. Then, if they want further clarification or want further assurance regarding their specific case they can start ... |
