| Are upgraded power cables really worth the money? In theory I geuss the power supply in the equipment can only see maybe 5 feet. If you have a upgraded power cord and or a conditioner that doesn't detract from the music, this is all you need, and dedicated lines. You can upgrade wire but its not ... | |
| Best interconnect between Ayre AX-7 and CX-7 On the true balanced, I don't know. That would be a question for Shunyata. Email them on thier site and they will let you know. I don't use balanced. Some interesting threads on AK about how balanced is not good or something, I don't understand it... | |
| Best interconnect between Ayre AX-7 and CX-7 Should be able to get into the Shunyata Altairs for this. I noticed several pairs are on Auction of Altairs and Antairs. The antair is more expesive but the bids haven't gotten very high yet. I own the Altairs and love them. I imagine these auctio... | |
| Analysis Plus big silver speaker cable versus Stereovox I tested the Analysis plus and it was nice. I didn't buy them as the cable that stood out in my system was the Shunyata Andromeda. I don't know what your budget is but if the Andromeda's are in your budget, you owe it to yourself to try them. Shun... | |
| Are upgraded power cables really worth the money? In my system, the power cords made the most significant difference. I started at the CDP with my best cord and added one at a time and listening to the same song over and over til I got the speaker cables added. I tested several cords and cables a... | |
| Reccomendations for 802D's? Thanks Tboooe, I was really worried before I set it up since I've never heard the system and it was a lot of money. I've never owned mcintosh and never really heard the diamond series in a position to be a great sounding speaker, as I've only hear... | |
| Opinions on the Mcintosh C500T? Got my TT ready for action now. I ordered a milty zap gun for static and its in so I look forward to testing this phono stage this weekend.beerdraft | |
| Reccomendations for 802D's? Well I tell you Tboooe and Duke, I've heard the 802D's on MC501's and classe cam 400's, they've never sounded this good to me. This may be my room and placement versus the other place I've heard them but man, I'm as impressed with the sound of the... | |
| Reccomendations for 802D's? Okay, I've got the system hooked up. Let me start with the C500, wow, this thing is playing with great seperation and detail, this is no doubt the best pre amp I've ever heard. I was worried since I didn't listen at all to any of this before buyin... | |
| 20amp cord Being the rgpc has a choke, I don't know how important it is to upgrade the cord there. I may be wrong but if it is important they say make sure the cord from the wall to the unit is as good or better than the rest of your power cords. I sold my r... | |
| Anyone heard about the new Mcintosh MC2301's? I've added pics and virtual system in "done for now". This thing is great.beerdraft | |
| Anyone heard about the new Mcintosh MC2301's? Okay, got to do some listening and man I love it so far. I got some betoven in and moved the speakers about til I got the stage and image better. Probably still not exactly right but its getting close. I will probably leave them where they are til... | |
| Opinions on the Mcintosh C500T? I think the 1000 weighs a good bit more than the 500. I just got my C500T hooked up with the mc2301's and 802d's. Man this is nice. I need to get some listening in now and get the placement right on the speakers but so far so good with only a coup... | |
| Amplifiers for B&W 803D/802D I just got my 802D's hooked in yesterday. I've had limited listening on an entirely new system. Mcintosh C500T, Two MC2301's, and B&W802D. So far I know I don't have the speakers postitioned right and wanted to try to do that tonight but my ne... | |
| Anyone heard about the new Mcintosh MC2301's? Well its 3 a.m. in the morning. I just got my stands and all put together. The mcintosh stuff looks absolutely phenominal. I only listened to a couple songs as I just couldn't stay awake. Put a burn in cd in on repeat all. I listened to Dianna Kra... |
