kimber select 3033 speakercable?
Close to the KS-3035's without the high price? Strangely enough I would have to suggest the 3033's as being the closest without the "high" price. I think a pair of 3033's can be picked up for 1000 or so used. As a matter of fact, check out higherf... 
kimber select 3033 speakercable?
Yes. The 3033 is better in all regards than the Monocle XLTo me, the 3033's are more life like than any highend Audioquest cable. I have used AQ Argent, Clear, Sterling, and Dragon. While the 3033 is close in many regards to the AQ, I've found the... 
EMC-1 vs. Levinson 360s/Sony SCD-1
Just got a EMC-1 with the 24/192 upgrade after owning a Marantz SA-1 and Wadia 860. I'd have to say the EMC-1does everything better than either of my prior players. A fully burned in Marantz SA-1 is the best redbook player I've heard.... Until I c... 
Electrocompaniet EMC-1 Mk.II news
I purchased an EMC-1 with the 24/192 upgrade about 2 weeks ago and all I can say is, it's astonishing! This is the best CD player I've ever heard. The last three players I've owned are Krell KPS28, Wadia 860 and Marantz SA-1. Of the three, the Mar... 
My CD player won't read CDR or CDRW
I too was not able to play certain CD-R's in my Krell 300cd.I am however, able to play CD-R's in my Sony 9000esAmong other things, I burn CD's for a Software Company and through that experience I've learned that the color of the optical ink used t... 
Best Value Speakers??
There is a speaker which in the 80's was highly regarded for both its value and sound reproduction. The speakers cost about $300.00 and used cement for the speaker enclosure to limit resonance.I do not know what they cost these days (I presume it ... 
Revel M20 vs.B W 805 vs.Dynaudio 1.3SE
Get this... My buddy has a pair of $25K Dynaudio Consequence speakers which were the TOP of the line Dynaudio before the Evidence came out, as his L/R for Music and Home theater. Needless to say, with the 1000 watt amps, he does not need a subwoof... 
Revel M20 vs.B W 805 vs.Dynaudio 1.3SE
Mcne, Good reply! I guess that I would have to agree in this case that Video is NOT the priority. It is a frustrating experience to mesh a fine 2 channel setup together with a home theater system but it can be done. Although I don't understand the... 
Revel M20 vs.B W 805 vs.Dynaudio 1.3SE
Mcne! With all due respect, what the heck are you talking about?? Tell us why a good music speaker is bad for home theater. I can not wait to read your reply! I know the three speakers in question intimately. They are all quite different sounding,... 
2-Channel to home Theater
Can anyone suggest great 2 channel pre-amps with processor loop or HT bypass? Multiple line level outputs would be a plus. 
Hot Setup? Pre/Pro for HT and 2ch
What about this: I am thinking that maybe the BEST setup would be to get an Amplifier with balanced inputs & single ended inputs.Connect a CD player with Balanced outputs to a two channel pre-amp, and then to the amplifiers balanced input.This... 
Hot Setup? Pre/Pro for HT and 2ch
Reubent, I've been using something like that and I think it works well. My Krell 500i has "Theater Through-put" which bypasses the integrated's volume control allowing one to adjust the volume for HT through the AV processor/pre. My outlaw 1050 ... 
Need silver power cord help
Trelja, Maybe you should talk to a jeweler. I am sure they could make anything you likeout of silver. Except.. maybe the IEC end. 
Best value speakers available
Your welcome Frap. It's been a while since I heard the Tyr. I don't know what the current generation sounds like. There was a thread on Audio Asylum about a month ago and some said the company went belly up but an engineer somehow got the rights t... 
Carl hears through Diamond
Carl, great post! I agree. For the price, Diamond Rocks.And.. I've found NBS to be a bit harsh in top end. I've heard it said on more than one occasion that NBS repackages Belden wire, adds some mesh, and a few $$$'s. 'nuff said.Carl, any thoughts...
