| I am sick of cables Kijanki, I had the cables available for a couple of weeks after the setup, so I had time to decide whether I would cash them in or look elsewhere. Synergy can be a large part of any system, and tastes vary, but something clicked big time with the ... | |
| Speaker Cable for Krell and Kef Loudspeakers You could go with Transparent Brick cabling or ask Transparent if you could work something out with them to meet your needs...tell them Dave Borda from Pa told you to call them (ask for Brad). | |
| Cardas vs. Synergistic Research Try the Transparent MM reference PC...it will transform your component. I've also done the side by side comparisons through the Cable Co.'s libary....many of the so called high end PC's are simply trash. FYI Reviewers are worthless, in case you ha... | |
| I am sick of cables Argyro, you have every reason to be absolutely fed up with this high price crap and voodoo of the month club approach to marketing cables. I've had upwards of $30K rigs and everything else in-between with tons of different equipment both tube and ... | |
| Narrowed speaker selection down to 5 choices Veroman is dead on! Play with setup first and foremost before any more money is spent. Years of experimentation and research has made certain approaches more successful than others. Use the long wall if possible with your head against the opposing... | |
| How to trick a player into reading SACD layer? Overhang, in case you don't know me, I owned the SACD Standard...along with most of the other gear Krell has made over the last decade. The Sony is special...it should not be overlooked:) | |
| b&k amps I bought the whole evolution rig to see what Krell was up to with their new designs and I was not happy at all. The sweetness, liquidity and tonality of the gear is gone in favor of a greyish, smoothed over brittle character. Parts are now off the... | |
| b&k amps Talikin? I meant talking of course and they are built well in the USA!! | |
| Narrowed speaker selection down to 5 choices Missioncoonery speaks sage advice..all great speakers:) | |
| b&k amps Were talikin value here, not absolutes. For the money you can do a whole lot worse and be hard pressed to find their better for the power they offer. | |
| How to trick a player into reading SACD layer? Correct, but it is soooo sweet sounding:) | |
| Anyone compared AR HD 220 to Accuphase P-7000? Had em all. The HD220 offers great detail at the expense of warmth, sweetness and roundedness. Wonder why the HD220 is not reviewed when all the other new ARC offerings are examined almost immediately? | |
| XLR interconnects? Truth Links are by no means a reference wire, but it is superior to the others mentioned. As I said, if your new at this stuff, enjoy the ride...maybe the 'Bama will send you some audio stimulus money (assuming you don't already pay taxes). | |
| XLR interconnects? Ah yes, the micropurls...owned them when they were first released. Couldn't send them back fast enough. Enjot the trip...it took me many years and much cash to go through all the offerings...studio cable like mogami and Goertz are just a couple ex... | |
| Anyone compared AR HD 220 to Accuphase P-7000? Please go with the VS115...I had the same gear with the HD220...the amp sucks and should be pulled from the market. Nice of the press to give ARC a pass, isn't it! |
