| Sauvignon Linestage Preamp or Joule Electra LA150 The current JE LA-150 is not a sweet sounding tubish preamp, where the SS will offer more of that type of sound.Happy Listening. | |
| Expert Glare Tamer Required And More Depth Please Address your AC first, that will give you a blacker, quieter background so you can judge component and cable changes better. It may aslo solve your problem. It really works.Happy Listening. | |
| Is Preamp overkill for me? Try the Sonic Euphoria that the dealer offers here on Agon, I think with a trial period too. It was sweeter then the Placette audio passiver preamp with better bass. With a passive you have to make sure it mates well with your amp. The SE was a re... | |
| Talon Raven C Speaker Cable recommendations please Try DIY copper wire from Home Depot. I used 6awg multi- strand wire and twisted the pos & neg around each other say 10" and termiinated them with decent spades. The soundt was close to the Acoustic Zen Holograms I compared them to for $.19 cen... | |
| Glass Fiber AT&T ST or AES/EBU XLR ? Each system is different My Audio Logic DAC sounds sweeter with RCA digital cables then the XLR ones but there is s slight decrease in detail So try them for yourselfHappy Listeing | |
| Need some advise on DAC's please.... I have not heard the DACs you have mentioned but good alternatives are the Audio Logic which uses tubes and the Chord 64 which is SS. I thought that both represent the best value in their price ranges.Happy Listening. | |
| Silver vs. Cooper speakers cables OK I will provide the answer. Buy one pair of cooper and one pair of silver ICs. Place one of the silver ICs on the CDP to the preamp (right side only) and use one cooper IC on the left side. Then change the pattern from the preamp to the amp. It ... | |
| Silver vs. Cooper speakers cables No Killerpiglet, Litz Braids are bad for dynamics and imaging, the braids dampen the sound. Boa2 should get his scalp removed and get a rug so that he can remove it when he listens to his system. But he'll also need my deluxe stereo-liquid-gel ton... | |
| Virtual Dynamics - David vs Nite II vs Master Frankly, I was not impressed with the Nite II cables. I felt the Audeince was much more musical. I have had the orignal Nite power cords and then the Nite II cables in my system at various times and while they are clear and dynamic sounding (like ... | |
| What's the better, High Powered SS Amp? The Pass Labs amps but what speakers are you using? | |
| Help me pick a digital cable Buy a used Audience digital cable. All the others are very good too. The difference being you can resell the Audience if you don't like it, the others don't seem to have a big resale value.Happy Listening. | |
| Pass X-2.5 -vs- Pass Aleph P, What Differences? The P is a warmer sounding preamp with slightly less overall bass control. The X 2.5 will offers better frequency extremes, tighter bass control, slightly faster, slightly more dynamic, with slightly more details. I would say that the 2.5 is more ... | |
| A worse feeling than burning out your amp? Yes, twice I was fooling around with speaker cables and used some cheap banana plugs on the speaker end. Playing music loud must have loosened the bananas and they crossed blowing a channel in an amp. I did it again about a month late to another a... | |
| Sonic Frontiers or Pass with Dunlavy 4a IMO the X-1, as already stated above, will not give you the "bloom" that you are looking for. Mine never did and I really loved the X-1. It was better sounding to me and my audio buds then the SF line 2. As I recall, the SF tube amps did not offer... | |
| Upgrade DNA 1 OR Buy DNA 225 Ask Steve is will tell you what the differences are.Happy Listening |
