| Moderate Priced Integrated Amp Neutrality, absence of coloration and tonal accuracy are definite requirements, as is reliabilityI would recommend the Parasound Zamp with a ~$30.00 Alps or Noble volume pot. I love this little amp but beware it does not soften the sound in any wa... | |
| Opinions wanted Better clarity than NAD from what I've read;Zamp | |
| How high end must your system be... Usually super-bright systems will be more revealing of cable. Then the stereo mags brag about how the speaker is EXTREMELY sensitive to cables, amps, etc.Disclaimer: This is a generalization. | |
| Low-cost I/C's Afc, I wish:From Signal's site:Eichmann Copper Bullet RCA Plugs - $30 additional (per pair of cables) | |
| Thin speaker cable Here is an interesting cable:0.010 thick speaker cableSean mentioned years back about someone going thinner and thinner on I/C's and ended up using conductive paint. Not sure if the same holds true for speaker cable as I/C's but interesting. | |
| Low-cost I/C's Keep in mind that the short length you are specifying will minimize most cable effects and cable differencesThis is a good point. So probably getting a good terminal like Eichmann would be more important that the I/C itself? | |
| Low-cost I/C's Yes, these are better than what I found. I like the solid core wire idea. On second thought, the Audioquest silver RCA's I found will corrode faster than gold.Comprehensive looks like the best of the lot, but BH does not sell shorter than 1 meter.... | |
| Getting Started How about Denon DF-101S and get some good speakers to go with it. | |
| Simple System for a Super Senior? Here's a screaming deal. One of those that I'd be kicking myself if I passed up.Denon DF-101s | |
| Drill holes in rack shelf to keep amp cool? Hifitime. Got it, thanks.☻ | |
| Rising distortion curve Oh yea, .04.Thanks Almarg. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Put another way, what happens when the recording has reverb and then the omni speaker, by design, intentionally adds more due to room interactions? | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Matrykl The problem with choosing a design concept is that it ignores the execution, which is almost always the more important factor.Which is why I didn't like the Deuval's and most active speakers although I like both concepts. But what do you t... | |
| Drill holes in rack shelf to keep amp cool? Hifitime, I like those musical notes. How did you do that? | |
| Dynaudio C1 with more impact I get "slam" at very low levels with my 4" single driver speaker. Run full-range with no x-over, it is essentially an active speaker. Realizing that "slam" at 55dB listening levels is a relative term. I feel the thump on an emotional level, obviou... |
