| Who is a big high end cable manufacturer Bargain?Blue Jean Cables.Just because you get a "different" sound it is not necessarily better.But having set up systems I have found Cardas to have resolutiion but tame some "etched" sound like that of Krell.I can go nuts just deciding on speaker... | |
| Speakers For McIntosh MC352 Don't know how helpful this is but always intrigued by folks who ask what speakers for a particular amp.Yes it can be done this way but I always think that source components should be as accurate as possible and are seperate but in my mind one sho... | |
| Bi-Amping Possibility, which direction ? Know that Krell used to make units as well and one may come up used.They made cards for popular speakers and one might match up as well.Those units jafox put up were yummy looking but a lot of bread.I can see why most folks will take two amps that... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? BTW anybody checked out $400 system Fremmer touted for lab grade water?I guess it's like 20 amp lines good for home pwners and not such a hot sounding "solution" (sorry about that) for apartment dwellers.Chazzbo | |
| Looking for a CD-R to transfer vinly to CD Came back here just becauise I was thinking about it while lookingn at old posts.It makes sense that CD-R's will not hold up and need to be re-recoded (kept up) because they are melting a soft chrystalline metal mto print the muisc while commercia... | |

| Best $500 cartridge? Dynavector DV-20XH? If you can swing it Mike at VPI told me my choise of Sonatta was good he may have very well told other that Dyna was the one to beat (I wouldn't havebeen bummed out I worked ina shop where all we sold was Grado so it was obvious for me).But at the... | |

| How trustworhty is Used Cables? How about a quick synopsis of the thread?Just the conclusion maybe.I have been told as long as there are no obvious cracks inm dialectric or cover and wire hasn't oxidized (I assume seeing rust) that older cables shouldbe OK.But now off to archive... | |
| Long ICs - A'gon versus Audiocircle SerusWas suprised to read in Mappleshade catalog same thing that you said was "traditional" thinking that folks should use short IC paths (less distorion) and longer speaker cables.Still have a hard time undertsanding on why a 12ft run of same wir... | |
| Can anyone suggest a good 2-channel amp for $1500 Mayube not $1500 but if you could scrape up another $350-$450 say read here on A'gon,Audio Asylum,and www.epinions (consumer review sites) read about Plinius.MANY people become cult fanatics about there amps with more passion and attatcment than I... | |

| A simple question from the new guy .... Depends on whose LP.All those great titles on Riverside and Prestige were bought out by a company called Galaxy and start to degrade (even with a perfect condition set up) within 1-3 plays and those can be bought for $10 and should be avoided like... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso -vs- Ayre K-1Xe preamps? Audio girlIt's off subject and I hope you get your answer but have to ask a question and make one comment.First do you play LP's a lot and find calypso incrporated enough of the Rhea into it?(I maybe wrong but thought Calypso was not just a line s... | |
| McIntosh C2200 w/ solid state amp? If you want to save some bucks how big is room an how efficient are speakers?Just because Mac makes MC500 or MC1000's does not need you require them.Last series that will drive most speakers in normanl rooms would be a used MC353.Avoid the MC300 a... |
