| Bob Crump DIY Power Cable Help Hey,If anyone is still listening, you can save a few bucks on the Belden PC by buying Belden 17616 or 17617 (aproximately 6.5' & 10' respectively). They are the same as the recommended Belden/Volex PCs above except they don't have the molded m... | |
| DIY CABLES Need Advice, Opinions, Supplier Info I had some friends over just last nite. They were quite impressed with my system, and were incredulous that they were listening to home-brew cables, much less my home-brew cables. Their skepticism was well founded. What do I know about cables? Wel... | |
| Bass Quality in the North Creek Rhythm/Revelator Karl,As previously mentioned, I have the NCMS Rhythm Revelators. Associated electronics: balanced Theta DS Pro Gen Va with 24/96 upgrade, a CODA FET 04r pre & CODA Model 11 amp. Cabling – all balanced -- ranges from aq Vipers to DIY 89248/8925... | |
| Which is better, Muse 2 or EAD 7000III? I thought about the Muse. I never heard one though, and I had some experience with the 7000 III. I went the safe route. Let me state up-front that I'm going to be selling my 7000 III very soon (as soon as I can get a digital cameral to show how pe... | |
| Any advantage to an outboard crossover box? Karl,I have the NCMS Rhythm Revelator w/.5 dB matched drivers & external XO. I absolutely love them! Could not be happier. The XO's have always been external, so I can't answer your question from an empirical comparison perspective. The primar... | |
| Passive preamp and biamping I don't have a lot to add to the prior posts on the terms that they addressed. I would just ask you if you love your front end?I always closely examine the analog section of any CDP or DAC I'm considering. BTW, I have a CODA FET 04r (passive/buffe... | |
| Would the Audio Aero Capitole better Theta Have either of you heard the upgraded Theta? | |
| Which DVD players put out a true 24/96 digital out I believe, because I've seen it printed numerous times including in Widescreen Review, that the very inexpensive Sony DVP-S560 has 24/96 pass-through.I've always been puzzled by the common statement that very few, and only high-end, players pass t... | |
| Help me with a fully balanced DAC Cornfedboy,I'm curious about your assertion regarding the newest Theta DS Pro Gen X. I too had some concerns, but thought they had been answered. Please see the thread titled "Theta DS Pro Gen VI - update" from 11/02/01, which you happened to post... | |
| Help me with a fully balanced DAC Mark a 3rd vote for the Theta. No new info here except that the balanced Theta DS Pro Gen Va is a wonderful sounding d/a as is, but as a great design feature is fully upgradeable to any new versions (e.g. the fabled Gen VI) that become available. ... | |
| Japanese remastered CDs - Steely Dan in particular Frank, I just acquired a Japanese Aja. I'll let you know what I hear when I receive it (which hopefully will be this weekend). I also have the Aja original transfer, the MoFi, & the Box version. Again, I believe I really need to get the latest... | |
| Speaker Mods? Alfred,One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that nobody will want to buy your modified speakers in the future. Selecting drivers/crossovers is a very interactive process, and is tricky to maximize without a lot of experimentation & knowledg... | |
| The Rhythm by North Creek Music Systems I have a pair of Rhythm Revelators. The crossovers are external, and the drivers are matched to .5 dB. They sound sublime. I’ve never been comfortable saying one product is better than another, for several reasons, but I’m confident in saying I’ve... | |
| North Creek Music Speakers, Borealis vs. Rhythm Routlaw,No, I haven't heard both at the same time. I do own a pair of Rhythm Revelators (with external crossovers & .5 dB matched drivers), however, and I'm familiar w/ similar products to the Borealis. I had the same dilemma you did. Here are... | |
| Replace Cambridge Audio D500 or add DAC? Cool. Sounds good. I have to admit I read it several times and was never positive whether it was partially directed at me.I have no doubt that those mods would make a real big improvement. I have a Cary Audio cd player that is nothing but a Rotel ... |
