| power condtioner I very cynically took home a Furman 15i power conditioner after extensive research and was astonished at the improvement of everything. The system sounds blacker, more defined and controlled. I experienced no loss of dynamics. I really didn't want... | |
| Power Strip Question - PLEASE HELP Furman makes a very good $150 eight outlet power strip which would seem to accommodate your needs. They may push you towards two different strips or say that isolation between the pieces/outlets is adequate. | |
| no excitement from my Cambridge 840 cd Here's the deal. Firstly, the Cambridge is probably not broken in. Leave it powered up at all times and within a month of use it should much better. I owned this unit and it benefits greatly from an external DAC which fills it out, images better a... | |
| Peachtree Decco speaker decision help Rega R1 is great, look at the Axiom speakers also. Easy to drive and the aluminum drivers are surprisingly smooth. I owned a pair and drove them well with just a little NAD L-40 which is a whopping 20wpr. | |
| How to fill speaker stands Firstly, this is an outside or in the garage job. Use a large Pyrex measuring cup to scoop from the bag and slowly pour into the top of the columns while gently shaking the pillar to move the sand into the hole. Keep doing it until about half of t... | |
| Coincident speakers Own the Triumph UHS TRS monitors and keep trying to find something much better and have so far failed. They are fast, open, detailed and with my Sugden A21SE integrated the volume doesn't get much above 8 o'clock. I've also run them with VTL Tiny ... | |
| Integrated SS amps - Luxman vs. Simaudio Moon? Luxman is so oft overlooked. Sweet sound. I've owned several pieces and loved them all. | |
| Integrated Amp for my Audio Physic 2 speakers Love Audio Physic speakers. They image well, are fast and do vocals so well. There is a Sugden A21aL integrated on the 'gon for $1550. I own the big brother and it is quite good with imaging, vocals, acoustic instruments and piano. 20wpc...but cla... | |
| How to connect Phono Stage from vintage receiver IF I am understanding this correctly, you would plug the turntable cables into the Marantz phono, then use RCA cables from the TAPE OUT portion of the Marantz to run into any of the line levels of your integrated.A preamp IN usually means you are ... | |
| Changing to bookshelf speakers. Recommendations? Toss Proac D Two onto the pile. | |
| Well ,I got the A/V receiver to play music, but... Go to Best Buy, strike up conversation with a few geeky dudes (or girl), assess who seems to know what they are doing and offer 50 bones to hook it all up right. | |
| Budget upgrade from Denon 1940ci DVD/CD? Second the Scott Nixon. I've owned lots of DACs including the Chibi with the external PS and it sounds great!! Still preferred my Audio Sector but hey not a fair fight. The Nixon was open and had a bit more punch on the bottom end than my Audio Se... | |
| New Gear? Good home brew always improves the sound of any system. I'm living in the Northwest, we do have our priorities. | |
| Bass rant Caffeine will do that. But really, you make salient points. In regards to simple hearing loss it of course affects bass perception. And with such db levels reached now in so many varied venues it is a wonder so many can hear anything at all. My ra... | |
| Which inexpensive ic's cables worth checking out? All good suggestions. Cannot believe Signal Cables not mentioned. |
