| Should I Bi-Wire or Use Jumpers? I agree with Audiofeil, in that it is system dependent. I just went through this ordeal with my new MG3.6R's. Turns out the single runs with jumpers were superior:O) | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player The setup at VSE looks a little disturbing to me:O<> Talk about narrow rooms and the speakers looked close to the front wall. Power cords can address alot of issues that maybe Allen's trying to compensate for in his mods...not to ention his ... | |
| How to fix my detailed, accurate but BRIGHT system Are you using balanced cables? I have a suggestion that will warm up the sound. | |
| cooling my Krell monoblocks They had problems with the contraction/expansion of the metal casework...worth living with though. Keep em hot and they will make less noise and always leave them on standby. | |
| How do MIT and Transparent cables differ? Brisson took his toys and went out on his own. Transparent had invested in cable manufacturing so they had to come up with a cable design to market. They chose a simpler, in line low pass tuneable filter approach which rejects UHF interference and... | |
| Review: Sony SCD-XA5400ES CD Player I'm not sure an RCA version exists for the SP1000 cable. I did have an RCA version of the Monster Audiophile Cable Z200i which I was told by Monster was the same cable as the SP1000, just priced higher for us audiofools:O) The Z200i has been disco... | |
| Does Wilson Sophia Sound good at low volumes? I have found that the amp/speaker interface is more important. We tend to forget that the components and cables we speak of cannot, do not and will not make a sound by themselves. They only work in unison with other components under variable circu... | |
| Dynaudio breakin period ok, I owned C4's awhile back and thought they were pretty good. Dyn's do have a different take on high frequencies however. Most people hear a slightly shelved down aspect or less shimmer to the highs. It's subtle and system dependant in some resp... | |
| Does Wilson Sophia Sound good at low volumes? Ever read the white paper on the B&W design principals? They are overdamped, extremely inefficient and engineered for excessive headroom aka loudness. In other words they are meant to play loudly with alot of power and not compress. The irony ... | |
| "Tube Like" SS Integrated Amps Portal Panache (designed by Nelson Pass). My 400xi Krell, Naim, MF...alot of great choices. Choose from local sources so you can demo them at home. | |
| Dynaudio breakin period Are these the active ones or passive? | |
| Who has dumped the power conditioner? Well that's it then, so let's move on and ignore their comments. I don't think there was any malice intended, just excitement and passion over a product they own and represent...which should be at least mentioned as a sidebar. | |
| Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's? I'm gonna go into a potential hornets nest of ridicule for what I'm about to say, but know that I am sincere. Over the years I have used Transparent Ref Xl and below as well as MIT Oracle V1.1 and V1.2 and below cables, as well as many many others... | |
| Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's? Cables? | |
| LETS COMPARE TUBE AND SS AMPS. TECHNICAL Moot or mute...either way they don't make any music without placng them into a system and plugging them in:O) Ditto Unsound on the interesting details. You can get a PHD in electrical engineering with a minor in audiofoolery and still put together... |
