| Double your pleasure with same cable throughout? thanks popsI THINK i'LL wind up with all mit ic's (MAG3 on source, MAG3 from pre to amp)... THOUGH IT'S STILL UNSETTLED. Yet greatest impact was an S2... followed by an even GREATER impact from the MAG3. Mag 3 providing far more resolution and way... | |
| Double your pleasure with same cable throughout? sgr, good. I've spoken with Elliot previously. I'd say you're right on with that assessment. He did indicate I should be at a little higher level... but figured the RES as a good fit... ditto for speaker ccables... with the Sig 10 an absolutely 'n... | |
| Double your pleasure with same cable throughout? thanks PopsI keep getting that info... all MIT, all the time is best... and I may be starting to agree... vs. MIT + X = ??All the gear save the CDP is BAT... cords are shuynyata, VooDoo... and speaker wire is Synergistic. Adding another MIT may we... | |
| Ground Isolation, removing sibelance. Mcfarland, thank you very much... I'll look for one of those gizmos if in fact I find the 'cable TV' the culprit, as I do highly suspect it to be... gotta disconnect it entirely first. As the foremost symptom of ground loop issues is 'hum', or tha... | |
| Double your pleasure with same cable throughout? Nsgarchthanks. Not sure how the measuring tape will find how resolving my system is... SCD xa777, vk5i & vk500 w/BAT pk., w VR 4JR's. some other mass media items too, but the former is the focus. What you say does make sense. I sort of thought... | |
| Finally--isolation problems solved If that don't beat all... and here all the while I thought 'sponge' cake the real deal. Fruit cake does make sense though. I'd go with one laden with plenty of alcohol and without raisins. Removing the raisins and/or dates will improve one's effor... | |
| Need help - High-end cabling strategy Hi,Personally I went another way around it all. I BEGAN with PC's for the most part... Putting in a good overall IC from pre to amp, not changing it at all and then I moved along from the source to pre to amp to speakers. I didn't see any real log... | |
| What pre to use with Vons and Bryston 2B-SST? here's two.Jolita or a BAT vk5, or even vk5i. I've the BAT and for the money I really enjoy it and use a solid state amp too. Warm & rich, just overall lots of fun. Spectacular with the proper tubes in it. A friend has a Jolita... he loves it.... | |
| 2-channel listening with a sub-woofer I use a sub with my V R4 JR's... an old ten inch Velodyne. I drive it off the preamp second set of outputs. It's old, not a seemless integration but it does add some weight to things and I like it... but like some military bases it's slated for cl... | |
| What's a great multi format player under a $1,000? swampwalkerYep. the software in every category at times leaves a lot to be desired. Being able to play a whatever' disc, initially, seems attractive... I lose track of the, 'they ain't all great just because they have an enormous smpling rate or w... | |
| What's a great multi format player under a $1,000? swampwalkerI don't doubt what you're saying... not at all. I feel OK with the two gizmos I mentioned above... the DVD carosel, and the ???/integra for DVDA, and at this point, maybe only the carosel. I'm figuring if I were to drop over a grand int... | |
| What's a great multi format player under a $1,000? Fish, intersting to hear you say liquid with a Benchmark. I had the notion from reading reviews they were pretty dynamic and to the point of being analytical. But having one I'd guess you would know better. Thanks.swamp, I am fast coming to that c... | |
| What's a great multi format player under a $1,000? Swamp....You really think the Denon is worthwhiel? I get the impression for some, that once it's modded it is good, but not until... sort of bothers me a unit needs far more work to become acceptable. Just seems like a hassle to me. Though I'll ke... | |
| What's a great multi format player under a $1,000? Mdhooveragain, thanks. Thanks a lot. Price has a way most of the time of separating great from good, in audioland. I understand where the Integra is in that scheme. You've done no harm. In fact though you have allowed me to add another thought to ... | |
| CJ vs. BAT vs. THOR preamps, who's best? Swampwalker... yeah, mostly. Legally, yes. Entirely, no. Can't drive anymore... except a riding mower, and a jet ski slowly...and only in open waters. haha. The PC does talk though.downunder.. dead on. The dealer told me when I remarked about the ... |
