| mixing power cords? For what you seek, try a Taipan Helix Alpha... somewhere. Audience was the first pc I tried. Ho hum. one of those 'better than nuttin'' IMHO. The II which is now out might be better. I don't know. I've no reason to go back and look. | |
| So Many Choices - PCords for Digital Sources? I often wonder when folks say there is no diff from one pc to another, on just hwat level of gear, and what level of pc (s) are being used?I'd like to know in fact those above items... so I can ignore those cables altogether. or some concensus of ... | |
| So Many Choices - PCords for Digital Sources? I use a couple on my BDP 83. A few in fact, from time to time. Nirvana digital pc, VD power III, Voodoo Black Dragon, or Taipan Helix. Of them I usually prefer the Nirvana on the Oppo.Again, on the BC DAC 3 I use either a Taipan HA, or a Voodoo Te... | |
| mixing power cords? Add different ingredients to achieve a better mix.Even if you use all one brand, you probably won't be using the same model all over.I use a Python VX to feed my Duet which supplies my mid fi & rotating gear. I use an Elrod Sig III to feed my ... | |
| AC 101 : Voltage Question Different schools of thought, that's all. Euro goes with higher voltage & lower current with lower frequency. thus can use smaller cables to carry the power line and supposedly it will provide for less maintainence.We go with higher current an... | |
| Speakers to compare to Dynaudio Confidence C4 have you considered adopting? I know one at least that would love to help out on just such a project, and if it doesn't work out for you, the gear you don't care that much for could be given to him as a present! | |
| Best lighting for an audio room Ya listen with the lights off, right? I do.When I redid my living room into a dedicated listening room (see some of my threads on just this topic) I finally went off for a track lighting rig. 50w baby spots that are directional. Naturally on a tra... | |
| Art Dudley Listening - Stereophile Dec '09 Nordost I recall Art doing a couple accounts on Nordost wires. For a time or still he also used Nirvana SX's. One of his reviews was on the Heimdahl cables which he said were quite close to the Vallhalla. Each instance the cables used all over were the sa... | |
| Live vs home system??? Human voices, their subtleties and nuances are the hardest along with piano to recreate IMHO. Thats where I look first. Ive found capturing those two things and just about everything else falls into place.The initial post carries a lot of weight... | |
| I need a new system. If I were to start all over again for whatever reason, and a flood or fire would be a good enough one, I'd get pretty minimalistic. A great DAC... very nice integrated... and great speakers... this time probably monitors and subs.What Tpreaves pos... | |
| What is more important source or preamp? My own answer: BothWithin reason, naturally. But . This question has truly, no right or wrong answer, as everything matters. The How much part depends on way too many variables to be resolved quite so simplistically. I wanted/have a system whi... | |
| I'm convinced: my Power Conditioner was ruining... Power regeneration & regulation if necessary in your home/area, might well be something to continue on with. That said, and I'm not a big fan of Monster anything, you might want to save up some more $$$ prior to making your selection.If your v... | |
| Converting Vinyl to digital Back in the cave man days we used reel to reel tape decks to put our LPs onto.on the same tact as the $99 record player with USB, there are more upscale LP spinners with the same USB interface.past reel to reel, a sound card like an M Audio 24/192... | |
| Loudness War I've no issue with the recording industry's upswing of quality being infused into their products begining back then in the 80s. None. I thought I said as much, though not as clearly as yourself.My point is simple... the bulk of the MJ Thriller alb... | |
