Best interconnects 2m for less than 200/pr used
Sc53 might be right about the Viper - more on that later. I haven't tried Kimber Hero but I own Kimber Select KS-3035 speaker cables. To me Kimber has always seemed to have excess energy in the attack transient which can make it harsh sounding in ... 
Best interconnects 2m for less than 200/pr used
Hi Baz, Believe me, I understand that cables can be expensive. In my system, I have more money in cables than I do components. Silly? Maybe! Nordost cables aren't shielded, and neither are any of the Audioquest. Infact, I don't know of any interc...

Best interconnects 2m for less than 200/pr used
Cardas Golden Cross is a highly colored cable. If you are looking for less highs and loads of bass, it is the cable for you. Cardas Golden Reference is a much "faster" cable than Golden Cross - better detail, tonal balance and dynamic performance ... 
Best interconnects 2m for less than 200/pr used
Hi Baz, Cables can be special ordered with XLR on one side and RCA on the other. I presume you would want to do this because the Lexicon has NO balanced outputs -- and the Krell HAS balanced inputs. While XLR is a bit better overall than RCA, I do... 
Best interconnects 2m for less than 200/pr used
Okay.. Looks like you have an integrated AV/2 channel system. I presume the Krell KAV 250a powers your front two channels and the EAD the center and rear channels. Since the two amps will sound differently, I think you "might" need different brand... 
Recommendations for Shielded Power Cord
Hey Ernie, How is it going my friend? I need 8 footers for this application. I have two Velodyne HGS-12 subs located in each corner of my room. Unfortunately the 6 footers will not work. I am also looking in to having an electrician put outlets in... 
Electrocompaniet EMC-1 MkII: XLR better??
Hi Ernie, For my application - I don't agree on the balanced vs. single ended comments as stated above. If an I/C is less than 2 (or maybe 3) meters, odds are that both RCA and balanced will sound identical when compared a/b. Of course the balance... 
Recommendations of best violin recordings performances
Thanks so much for the response! I've listened to most of the recommendations on Amazon and they're all great! I am trying to find a "reference" level recording which I can use to test the timbre of my system for strings. Any suggestions in this ... 
KIMBER SELECT 3038
First off, put your Midnights in the closet- you have cables worth 100 on the used market sending signal from your 15,000 amp to your 15,000 speakers. What's wrong with this picture?If you want 3038's there is a listing on a website called higher-... 
New Transport Approach
From the Meridian website: In the 800 Reference CD Machine, the audio data is read asynchronously in blocks using high-speed, high-integrity CD ROM drives. This data is checked for integrity, corrected and triple buffered to ensure that the audio ... 
Cables with the best highs
Asa, As I have been trying to tame a live room in a new, furnitureless house, I have migrated my system from Chord Amps/Pre and Marantz SA-1 to 100% Electrocompaniet. I/C's are currently Nordost Quattro Fil from my CD to the pre-amp and I use a Ca... 
Cables with the best highs
Hi Everyone, Thank you for the responses! Perhaps I should explain myself further.... This time I think I have gone off the deep end. First let me explain my speakers. They are Wilson-Benesch Act One's. It is a three way speaker with two Scan Spea... 
kimber select 3033 speakercable?
Sakahara, Good reply. I didn't intend to offend you. I just listened to the Megaflux (alone) and didn't think much of it. The cables made my system sound muddy. The sound stage collapsed and frankly I felt ripped off.. Especially after listening t... 
kimber select 3033 speakercable?
I used to own Ensemble Megaflux. I purchased after believing all the HYPE given to this product line by both the West Coast and East Coast Ensemble dealers. Truthfully? It's not that great. Sakahara, to claim that Megaflux is better than some of t...
