Has anyone tried Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 RCA IC?
I have a/b'd a pair of LC1's against Acoustic Research Master series (silver plated over copper twisted pair) from my Arcam DV139 to my Wyred4Sound STP-SE preamp. The preamp outputs to the amp are AR's also.Not even close. The AR caused a loss of ... 
Wyred 4 Sound STP
I have had my STP SE running for a while now, and it is so nice to have the HT bypass feature. What some may note as dry or harsh sound I believe is the amazing transparency of this unit. I drive a Wyred 250 watt amp with it, and the first thing I... 
Which high-end receiver?
I just hooked up an Arcam DV 89 to my AV300 about an hour ago. FIVE SECONDS into the first CD was all it took. What an inredible player. I won't go into all the nuances I heard, but it is right in there with my headphones for definition. I am driv... 
Which Reciver?
I felt guilty wanting to get away from separates and go to a receiver just to clean up the cables and gain a smaller footprint, until I listened to an Arcam 300. Now that it is in my house, I ain't never 'goin back. The reviews are right, it isn't... 
Paradigm Signature S-2, S-4:Good, bad, indifferent
I spent a lot of time listening to the 2's, 4's and 8's in the same room. There was a very audible difference betwen the 2 and 4 series, and careful blending with the sub is required to get a seamless transition, but the 4's are some of the best s... 
Has anyone heared Piega C3 speakers?
Interesting. I listened to C3's at Audio Alternative and A-B'd them against a pair of Revels. Set them up side by side, driven by the same equipment. Now, I think the Revels had more play time on them, but the first thing I noticed was that the C3... 
SVS PB12-ULTRA/2
I have a single Ultra, and I can tell you, unless you have a huge room, this thing can drain your sinuses. There is no question it is musical, that it why I bought it, but the suprise was with theater. What a delight. Mine plays loud down to 13 hz... 
Speaker recommendations for Arcam AVR300?
I am using North Creek Eska towers and an Eska center along with PSB Image S50's for the rear surrounds, driven by the AVR 300. I have a DV89 coming; right now I've got a $100 Toshiba DVD. I biwired the center and biamped the fronts. I have an SVS... 
Small room Speaker suggestions
My room is larger than yours, but I don't have the space to pull the speakers way out into the room for imaging, so I built a pair of North Creek Eska towers. Right now I have the rears 6" away from the wall, and I've been playing around with posi...
