| Cables from amp to preamp or longer speaker cables… +1 au_lait I ran these with 30K active speakers they sound terrific! For the money, unbeatable. And you can order custom lengths. Bets of luck. | |
| Cheapest but good cables…. Duelund DCA 12 is excellent. Run that currently with ATC 20 passives. But not as cheap as Mogami at $17/m from Parts Connexion. It comes as a single wire, so pricing is a bit deceiving as you need calculate 2Xs for one speaker. 2m length each ... | |
| Cheapest but good cables…. Hard pressed to beat Mogami for cheapest and best. Here on Audiogon is a small builder doing speaker cables and interconnects with Neutrik connectors. I ran a pair of his balanced on a 30K pair of active speakers and they rocked. Or you can ord... | |
| What should I upgrade first on my budget system? Rotel, absolutely the Rotel. Rega Apollo replacement perhaps. It's the Rotel. I'm sure of it. Have fun. | |
| Dynamic Speakers to match Luxman L-509X Great amp! I run one with ATC 20 passive monitors to great affect. Very dynamic. Your reference to electronic music preference steers one towards the larger more dynamic ATC 40 passives. I owned the ATC 40s in the active. Best of luck i... | |
| Please tell me the wait will be work it......my rack XANAX is indicated for the management of anxiety disorders and the short-term relief of symptoms of anxiety in adults. XANAX is also indicated for the treatment of panic disorder in adults with or without a fear of places and situations that might... | |
| My terrible Customer Journey with the Line Magnetic LM-503PA Mono Vacuum Tube Amps Decided years ago to avoid China products, but not for all of the mostly faux altruistic reasons most pontificate about. I simply do not like their engineering, mostly, and of course what you are experiencing. Then again, try getting a piece of ... | |
| Sad to hear the good people at Timbernation had a fire (and no insurance). Wow! This Internet thing is out of control. Perhaps we should hunt it down and kill it. I came for audio enlightenment and leave with the feeling fraud has been committed. I want a refund for the assault of occult logic Everybody have a nice... | |
| Trying to hook up Totem 1 Bookshelf’s ….. All solid information, they are correct. I simply pass long stripped wire ends through the drilled holes in the speaker posts and bridge the tweeter and woofer posts of each positive/negative. No jumpers needed. I've done this with dozens of ... | |
| Integrated amplifier for ATC SCM 19v2 +1 Luxman 509X. Running my ATC 20s, it exercises full control over them. Quite dynamic. ATC is special in that they only perform well when amplified by really good high current amps. They are too often underpowered. You give no price point, s... | |
| Compact ~20WPC Tube Amp I know they are mono blocks, but wow! Ran these for years and they are wonderful and quite small. Used would be about 4K. | |
| Please tell me the wait will be work it......my rack The only racks I've used and really work are Quadraspire. My latest is the SVT2 used in my wife's system. It completely cleaned up the smearing and provided more space between all vocals/instruments. Attack is much better with improvement in so... | |
| Are measurements the end all, be all? doye3433 You've the correct philosophy. Balance. Would you pick a mate, or boyfriend/girlfriend strictly off of specs? I think they're near fugly, veneer on side panels is gorgeous. But I'm not buying them. They may sound spectacular and a... | |
| Please, what DAC is this? Found it! Audio Sector DAC-1. Usually came mounted on a piece of wood naked. Found reference to it in one of my old posts. I know, nobody cares. Cheers | |
| Best sounding amp/preamp for Snell Type E/ll model speakers? Funny how your list is like a time machine. I sold Snell during that vintage. I owned that vintage B&K. We found most customers underpowered them and tried to get away with 60wpc like a Roberts. The Hafler 200 would run them fairly well an... |
