| Opinions on Monster Cable 2.4s biwire cable? I have owned the Monster 2.4's previously, and it was a nice entry into the benefits of high end cables, but with the gear that you have,you should definetely look to a more detailed and balanced sound, like Acoustic Zen, or Harmonic Technolgy Pro... | |
| Recommend good satellite speakers? B&W leisure monitors. You can always find a place for them somewhere else later, and they are smooth, sweet and handsomely designed. Should run a little over $300. | |
| Favorite sounding interconnects? Acoustic Zen Silver Reference. 1 meter. It transfers the emotion of the performers to you with a perfectly balanced sound. System used in: * Musical Fidelity HT600 5 channel amp w/ Acoustic Zen Silver Reference interconnects,Yamamura Quantum pow... | |
| Recommended for digital coaxial cable I have a very similar set up and have tried six different coax cables, and settled on the Acoustic Zen MC2. It is the most natural sounding, grain and glare free digital cable I have heard. You won't be sorry if you go for it. Good luck. | |
| Favorite SACD's Can't miss if you get Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue", even a non jazz fan will fall in love with this classic recording.Keb' Mo's "The Door" ain't too shabby either. Yo Yo Ma's "Appalachian" recordings are superb. Now, if only I could get Tom Waits o... | |
| Avalon or ProAc? DMA, both speakers are well designed and well made, but the ProAc's are not in the same league as the Avalon's in my opinion. | |
| Best used 5 channels amp. for both music and movies You forgot the Musical Fidelity HT600, which surely must fall somewhere in the middle of that list. Honestly, when I compared 2 channel sound, the M. Fidelity amp was more satisfying than the CAV 150, which I like a lot. | |
| Sellers that don't respond After sending nmerous eails,I have had late resposes saying that the seller was "overwhelmed" with requests, ad could not respond to all the emails. That's nonsense. Even if you have 25 responses to an ad, how long does it take to type, "soory sol... | |
| sony offers 3 new SACD players When I can buy any Tom Waits recording on SACD, I'll know it has arrived. | |
| Speakers recommendations when placement is an issue Aeriel Model 6 is a beautiful floorstanding speaker that will thrive within you limitations. It was purposely built with being close to rear walls in mind. Should complement your gear nicely. | |
| Shall I mod my Sony DVPS7700 or buy a DAC? Satto, there have been a few threads where some of Audiogon's most experienced members carefully compared the 777ES and the 9000ES in a variety of high end listening tests. They concluded that both had strong and weak points when compared, and the... | |
| Shall I mod my Sony DVPS7700 or buy a DAC? Maybe you should sell the 7700, and buy the Sony DVP-90000ES. It don't need no stinkin' DAC, just get very good cables and break that sucker in for a L O N G time. It withstands comparison to the best CD players with or without DAC's. I listen to ... | |
| CD Player Break-In David, My Sony DVP-9000ES just kept getting better and better. It took about 500 hours to really shine. That is quite extensive, and you may only need 2-300 hours. Your ears will know, try to be patient. Good luck. Martin | |
| What multi channel amp sounds like a Class A two channel? Marakanetz, The Musical Fidelity amp does have 5 seperate monoblocks . Maybe that's part of the reason behind the superb sound quality. | |
| Leave it on or turn it off? Glen, do you mean 300 hours of break in time, or warm up time? |
