| nordost heimdall speaker cable If the Heimdalls are brand new, then maybe a little bit more break-in is required. But I own the Heimdall Series 1 interconnects and speaker cables with ARC amplification and Thiel 2.4 speakers (which to some people are bright but with proper ampl... | |
| nordost heimdall speaker cable Couger4u...what is the rest of your system? Did you buy the Heimdall Series 1 or the current Series 2 cables? | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona M vs Verity Audio Parsifal Garebear...I have heard the Parsifal Ovations a few times and the Cremona M once. If Davt is correct int hat there is not much difference between the Encores and the Ovations, than my reco would be to go for the Encores. Great speakers. Highly res... | |
| Price of Avalon Eidolon Diamonds How much are you willing to accept for them? That's the question you should be asking yourself.Bingo. That is clearly one of the main criteria, however, you do have to anchor your expectations to current market prices somewhat, so subscribing to t... | |
| Impedance matching Mcintosh MC2301 and Shindo pre ooops...missed that. Yep, Jmcgrogan2 is right. From an impedance matching perspective they ought to work. Now you just need to hear them with your MC2301s to make sure they are a sonic match. Good luck. | |
| Impedance matching Mcintosh MC2301 and Shindo pre Jake...what you need to know is the output impedance of the preamp which are not listed and the rule of thumb is you want a minimum of 10 to 1 (input impedance of amp to output impednace of preamp)and preferably 15 to 1 or 20 to 1. The stats on th... | |
| nordost frey vs. tyr I think the Heimdall and the Tyr are the sweet spot in the Nordost line up. I own Heimdall ICs and SC in my system and I listened to the Frey and didn't think the Freys were better than the Heimdalls to be honest. The Tyr deliver almost Valhalla-t... | |
| What do I need to complement the Thiel CS2.4 Enero7...do you plan on using the 2.4s only for HT (i.e., surround sound for movies) or do you also plan on using them for 2-channel audio listening? If both, what % of time will you be uding it for one vs. the other? I ask because I own the 2.4s ... | |
| what kind of discount on demo speakers? I would look and see if there are the same speakers on Agon listed as demo models and see what other dealers are asking for them as demo models. Also look at used models and figure you will pay a bit of a premium over used because of the manufactu... | |
| New amp? Thiel... Audiojan...sorry. I did not realize you had pulled the trigger on the ML 334 amp before posting above. Congrats and glad you are liking the 334/2.4 combo. | |
| New amp? Thiel... Audiojan...if you went with a Class A Krell, I think the sound will not be as forward as the more modern Krell sound is, which is why I included that link above. I think Class A biased amps will give you that more liquid less edgy sound (so look f... | |
| New amp? Thiel... I drive my 2.4s with ARC's Ref 110 power amp but in your price range I would stay with high quality SS from Krell/Simaudio/Pass Labs. Here are some options from the Agon listings that I think will be very good with your 2.4s in your price range of... | |
| Decent DAC under $10k anyone? The AMR DP-777 is getting a lot of love on this thread: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1327590554&openusid&zzCmalak&4&& | |

| I feel like a toothless hillbilly - PW DAC Jeffatus...have you tried calling PS Audio's customer support and have them walk you through it. That should be part of the after-market support that they provide especially if their manual is outdated or not detailed enough to walk owners through... |
