| Classe CA-101 or CA-200 with a passive preamp I would agree with Darrylhifi if you were to change amps though I would suggest vertical bi-amping instead of running them as monoblocks. But I don't think a more powerful amp is going to make a huge difference. Sounds like what you need is more g... | |
| Which cable to change first-intercon. or speaker? Actually, IMO, I would say that the more your system can resolve the easier it becomes to hear the differences in cables which can sometimes be very suttle. It does help to have several on hand to do comparisons with. | |
| The Cable Company - Wow Synergistic Research Resolution Fx, Wireworld Equinox 5, and JPS Superconductor+. I also had a set of Purist Audio Opis from another dealer to compare. So I've been busy the last couple of weeks but it has also been a boatload of fun. All are very... | |
| Which cable to change first-intercon. or speaker? Louisl,I just went through selecting speaker cables which is the last cabling I have addressed in my system. I was so impressed with the improvements, and this is with all 4 sets that I auditioned, that it left me wondering the same thing. "Should... | |
| Phono stage upgrade There is an EAR 834P for sale at $625, the model without volume control I would guess which is a plus. Whether or not it is the best is subjective, but it should be on anyone's list of the best. With a few mods these little boxes can compete with ... | |
| Vinyl Cleaning Fluid for VPI RCM Rackdoctor, I don't see what difference this makes. Can you tell me what Trisodium EDTA is and what it is supposed to do to my records? To my ears it has only improved the sound I get from my vinyl. RRL says that they add it as a preservative. I'm... | |
| Should I Reduce Speaker Cable Length? I experimented a year or so ago with cutting down the length of an old set of XLO speaker wires I have. There was a noticeable improvement the depth of the stage each time I reduced the cables by 1/2 their length. Because my amps are right next to... | |
| Looking for phono stage recommendations Speedy has a good point about tubes and heat. I think you would be fine with a seperate tube phono as these don't seem to put out much heat at all, at least the ones I'm familiar with. Now preamps are a whole different ball game. That is where the... | |
| Cabling for First 2.0 System You can also order several different cables at the same time from the Cable Company. Very cost effective way to compare many cables at the same time. You do pay 5% of the cost plus shipping. The 5% is not refundable but is applied as a "store cred... | |
| The Cable Company - Wow Haha! Ya' got me. I'm a victim of my own kind of sarcasm thrown back at me!BTW, I'm on my 4th day of listening tests of the cables from the Cable Company. Too early for a decision, I still have 2 more cables to listen to. | |
| Looking for phono stage recommendations Second on the Rhea. Very flexible. I really don't hear much tube noise from mine at all and I tend to listen at around 90 dB most of the time. Another I would throw out for consideration is the BAT VK-P10, great sound and lots of options for tube ... | |
| The Cable Company - Wow Sorry to misinterpret your post, Bbaxley2. I suppose my response to you was not well formed either as I meant it to be received in a joking spirit. My appologies.And, no. I don't correspond with, nor do I support or even read any stereo magazines. | |
| Is there a length limit for Turntable cables? Hi Joe,I don't know what cartridge you're using, but I would bet that if you go the route of adding a phono amp you would be missing alot if you didn't stay with a tube stage. I say that based on your C2200. There are some very good budget tube ph... | |
| The Cable Company - Wow So Bbaxley2,Are you pissed because they do it well or because you didn't think of it first? As for me, where do I apply?!? If it is anything like you describe it sounds like the best of American entrepreneurial spirit at work. :) | |
| Is there a length limit for Turntable cables? Joe,An option, although not necessarily cost effective, would be to locate a phono pre next to the 'table. Then you could probably run pretty long IC's from the phono to your pre. |
