| Buyer's remorse - your worst purchase? Back the 80's I wanted new speakers. I had to have Polk, just because my cousin had some and he said they were good. I was going to buy Polk 10's, that's all I can remember of the name. When I went to buy, they were having a sale on Polk SDA 12c's... | |
| Placette pre amps Did you read the current issue of The Absolute Sound? They reviewed it. | |
| Is there an alternate to Martin Logans? Tbonephile, take a look at the Linn AV 5140's. | |
| Tuner Questions Before the crash, didn't someone mention the McIntosh MR78 as a great tuner? | |
| Suggestions for a 'good' FM antenna? Just to follow up, I started this post, I bought the Fanfare FM-2G antenna. Also, I am replacing the old Sansui tuner I just purchased with a Fanfare FT-1A, it is being shipped. | |
| Mis-Matching Cables for Bi-Wired Speakrs Years back I used AudioQuest Midnight for lows and Cardas Quadlink 5 Series for highs. As the post above says, try it and see how it sounds. The only thing I would mention is both sets of wires should be the same length. | |
| Tuner Questions Keiman421, it sounds like we are/were looking at the same tuners. I have read many good things about the Magnum Dynalab tuners. The Etude has a great reputation and has been around for years. I have read a Stereophile report on the Fanfare FT-1, t... | |
| Tuner Questions Thanks Whatjd, you are encouraging me all the more to buy the new tuner; I am planning on the Fanfare FT-1A. I am looking forward to hearing FM in a new light and hearing music I wasn't aware of. | |
| Do Silver Cables Hurt Bass? Wow, I cannot answer all those questions Telja. First of all, the JPS cables I bought are balanced, so I am limited as to where I can run them. I bought them because it was reported my amp and preamp were designed for balanced cables and would wor... | |
| Do Silver Cables Hurt Bass? Trelja, I use JPS cables and have been happy with them. The only negative I can say of *mine* is that they are the orginals, before they had flexible ends. JPS cables are very stiff and w/o the ends being flexible, it makes things very difficult! | |
| TO upgrade or NOT, that is the question! Sugarbrie, don't leave out Magnum Dynalab's receiver. Their receiver looks very impressive and I read a very favorable review on it. | |
| Do Silver Cables Hurt Bass? Years back I bought some bannana's to make life easier in hooking up my amp, I was bi-wiring and the two sets of spades would not easily fit on the post of the amp. I could not believe how much these degraded the sound!! I did not keep them. | |
| Do Silver Cables Hurt Bass? I went to their Web site Trelja, and I must say it sounds very interesting! Anyone else try these? What about better RCA's, would it be benificial to buy other RCA's such as WBT's? | |
| Do Silver Cables Hurt Bass? Does anyone have experience with Kimber KCAG, they are silver? | |
| Suggestions for a 'good' FM antenna? I have a C Band dish (the big one for those who don't know). Can I use that in any way to pick up local stations? |
