| Best speakers to buy for around $1,500 I would consider a bargain on rega rs5, as they are being discontinued. You probably can get them fro $1200 or less new, and they sound incredible low-midrange to treble, no one can argue on that. Bass goes low to 40, the quality is arguably good.... | |
| My stereo isn't doing it for me. Need advice I would do at least one full wall of auralex, preferably behind the listening seat. The key is to kill reflections and make your room acoustically bigger.I had a room like that 12x11, with back fully treated, each side partially treated, center fr... | |
| CD quality versus SA-CD ?is it worth it? My humble opinion... 1)SA-CD is worth it because better care is given through out the entire recording/mastering/transfering process than it is with CDs. In other words, you will find a higher % of bad sounding recordings (i.e. "re-mastered", or m... | |
| Magnepan MMG Speakers? I have had the mmgs and the mg12. Yes ;they need watts and the bass is good down to 45-50 with watts. I could not buy lots of good watts so I paired them with a pro amp qsc 1400; and you could get very very loud without distortion... very clean. I... | |
| Replace Kimber 4vs with...? the 3104 must be an excellent low cost bi-wire cable. If I had to replace my canare 4s11, that's what I would get. 9awg of good copper total? unbeatable. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Best speaker I have ever owned, it's got to be REGA RS5.Why? imaging is extraordinary, left to right, back to front. Tonality, transparency, detail is spot on. Not too forward, not too bright, the presence is awsome. Voices are palpableVery Dynami... | |
| Comments on interconnect cables Except for the bose 901. | |
| How Do You Feel about The Cable Game? Monster Cable was the real game changer. Only the Monster was able to prove beyond doubt to both the believers and non-believers that there's indeed a difference between 2 cables. They made it all happen at circuit city. Only the Monster spoke the... | |
| Universal player or DAC? If the Oppo does down sample blu ray audio through its digital output, then I would not get an external DAC.I just compared a yamaha player s-677 through its analog output against my MSB DAC Link III through digital, and the yamaha is better on cd... | |
| Do anyone have a pair of Monster M1000 cable? I had it, and I preferred the 950i. | |
| How Do You Feel about The Cable Game? We are ALL waiting for someone who can demonstrate that two cables can sound different given that they have 1) same length, 2) same gauge, 3) same connectors, 4) same copper quality.... just different geometry, and insulation.I think the differenc... | |
| Magnepan .7 - what to power with etc. what are the .7? are they the old mg12?Fabulous speakers as long as you stay in the sweet spot... I had mine powered by arcam 8, adcom 5300, and finally a qsc rmx1400 power amp as I recall. They are easy to drive because of the flat impedance, but... | |
| Floorstanders for $3500 Please take a listen to Rega. | |
| Speaker cables for KEF LS 50 and Peachtree 220SE If you like starquad configuration and steer away from monostrands, why not mogami 3104 or canare 4s11? I have canare now between marantz 8004 intevrated and rega rs5 and I could not ask for better. Love it everyday. | |
| blue jeans cable? Then if we are serious about conductivity, resistance, inductance, we need to measure not only the cables but als the connectors. |
