| NAD 7140 VS Nakamichi TA 2A I had the NAD 7140 at one time for about 10 years and you are right. It is a very powerful, conservatively rated 40 wpc with a lot of dynamic slam. The pre/power amp sections of the NAD can also be used independently of each other. The dynamics in... | |
| PS Perfect wave power cord I have all Perfectwave AC-5s. I like them because they neutral, not adding to or taking anything away from the sound of my system components. They only conduct the supply of power. | |
| Ever Used the Audioquest King Cobra? Compared to the Diamondbacks the King Cobras present better definition/clarity of each instrument. Especially the bass lines are well defined compared to the Diamondbacks. The Diamondbacks seem to throw a slightly larger sound stage. I use the Kin... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 Thanks for all of your responses. I was also wondering if anyone uses bi-wire speaker cables with their maggies or do you all use full range speaker cables? Thanks again. Looks like no one has the 1.7s in their home yet for real world evaluation. | |
| Magnepan 1.7 No, I am not a dealer, etc. I am on a quest for better speakers to complement the rest of my system. Therefore, my question. | |
| Modern Jazz Pianist recommendation Herbie Hancock's CD titled "Speak Like a Child" is awesome | |

| playing cdr's I own a Onkyo DX-7555 that plays CDR's. I have owned three NAD CDP's in the past. The Onkyo player is a lot better quality in build and sound (to my ears) over any NAD I have had in the past. | |
| NAD C565BEE Question If you dock your iPod into the Wadia 170i or soon to be released 171i (upgraded version) into a DAC, you may rarely have use for a CD player. You can rip your CD's into your PC using a lossless format for use on your iPod. | |
| Cambridge 840C as a DAC I use the 840c DAC inputs with an iPod Classic 160GB/Wadia 170i Transport via Creative Cable Concepts Green Hornet digital coaxial cable and it sounds incredible. I can't stop listening!Usually the audio output on a Mac is combined to also allows ... | |
| NAD 375BEE v 372 and 370 In my experience lack of drive is completely false. I currently have the C372 and the M3 in two separate systems and they provide all the dynamic slam and detail I could ever want. I guess it depends on what equipment you use and/or compare them t... | |
| Which Universal Remote? Thank you all for the info. Looks like Logitec Harmony models are the way to go. | |
| New Magnepan 1.7 R Plato, That was my reasoning also. The info on the Maggie website contradicts this reasoning. Thanks. | |
| New Magnepan 1.7 R I've always been amazed by the design of the Maggie speakers. I would actually like to try a pair but I am not sure of placement issues. The Maggie website indicates that you can place them in the same locations as any other speaker but that doesn... | |
| Are there any albums you consider perfect? For jazz you must hear "Speak Like a Child" by Herbie Hancock. It is a six piece band and is a magical performance in my opinion. I listen to it almost daily. It's been a long time since I've had any music that I play this much. |
