| Advantages of monoblocks Simao, you've already own one formidable amp which to really better it at least needing a two to three times jump from your current allocated budget.I would think using the fund (going separate needing 2xICs) to upgrade your current IC/SC or inves... | |
| Advantages of monoblocks I'd focus and put more emphasis on quality instead rather than get caught in the stereo/mono thing. | |
| B&W 800D vs. 800Diamond on Accuphase amp Hi Chris, no one seems to be helping out here. You might want to try posting this very question at AudioAficionado. There seem to be quite a number of B&W users there who might help chime in.As for Accuphase, models you mentioned are relativel... | |
| Do Jumpers make an audible difference? A relevant thread covering similar topic in WBF :http://www.whatsbestforum.com/showthread.php?12850-Jumper-cables | |
| Do Jumpers make an audible difference? Ime, huge difference as when compared to the supplied buss bars/plates.Best is to stick within family brand to achieve more harmonious/coherent tonal balance.Buy best you can - Say if using ZPython SC, getting the ZAnaconda jumpers would make a wo... | |
| Views on Siltech cables with Pass Labs Pre/Power Bo, sorry to say your strong sale pitch and persistent knock on other brands will do more harm than good to those that you are selling imo.End last year, we actually did shootouts on my and some buddies systems (3 different set-ups). Intention was... | |

| SACD Player Won't Play Hybrid SACDs Agree with Mr_m and Cerrot..Unless it has a sentimental value of some sort, guess it's time to move on.But do give 'em that one last try! ;) Good luck. | |
| SACD Player Won't Play Hybrid SACDs Try checking the flexy-ribbon cable running from main to optic assembly board.Occurred to me once where new optic wouldn't operate, and it turned out (after thorough testing) one channel amongst six of what appeared to be still perfectly fine cabl... | |
| choosing Power Cords for Vitus SM-101 And how so is Vitus same with PassLabs? Did they unite after the war? ;) | |
| Accuphase Power Amps Hi Tls49,Should have stated more clearly that above has been my experience.My speakers are spec'd at 89db/8ohm with minimum impedance dips to 5ohm as well.Sure, there are many respectable amps that double their power as impedance halves.However wh... | |
| Accuphase Power Amps *Note that Accuphase usually conservatively rate their amps' power output.Mine rated at 100w/8ohm does 180-200w without breaking a sweat, peaking near 300w! (Speaker's minimum impedance is 5ohm).So assuming similar, you should be expecting close t... | |
| Accuphase Power Amps Simon,Gathering from all your infos thus far, namely : room size, listening distance, music choice, speaker's sensitivity, and last but not least, coming forth from a Bryston 300w amp.. I too as Dave would, sacrifice that last vestige of refinemen... |
