| Totem Hawk with BAT-300xSE Do you already own the BAT? The Hawks loved my 400xi when I owned them. | |
| Krell kav-400xi with show case dvd or dvd standad? Standard would be a large improvement...go for it! | |
| Krell kav-400xi with show case dvd or dvd standad? From your musical perspective, I'd go with the showcase. You could also get a bargain dvd player and select another front end for cd/ipod playback...they say the new cambridge cd player is a value. Rotel makes a budget cd player that sounds great ... | |
| Power conditioner or not? Lamcam, I agree with all PC products EXCEPT MIT's stuff. MIT conditioners and power cords use parallel filtration and power correction. Low level dynamics increase, harmonics become more natural and you can achieve higher playback levels without t... | |
| Power conditioner or not? As long as the Naim gear doesn't already have some sort of line filtration on board, then I would suggest the only power conditioner I know of that works so well, you will become addicted to it! I've tried most of what's available and was dissapoi... | |
| Opinions: PC's with strong lows roll off the highs Yes, an ARC HD220, ARC Ref3 and an ARC VT100. I also used the previous XL version on Levinson reference gear with great results albeit a little less clear. The new cord has great clarity along with the Transparent wide dynamic range and tremendous... | |
| Opinions: PC's with strong lows roll off the highs Ah yes, I remember trying out power cords.....someday you will try or experience the Transparent MM and your soul will be moved:) | |
| MIT Magnum MA speaker cables Ubglub, you are correct! MIT has undergone quite a few changes in their lineup recently. It appears that only oracle Dot 2 series cables and Oracle MA cables are hardwired. That being said, I have loved my MIT oracle cabling for it's natural, dyna... | |
| Which ARC Linestage? I owned the ARC LS25, Ref 2 MKI and MKII and the LS26 as well as the Ref 3. Overall, the original LS25 with the 6922 tubes was the most natural sounding of them all. The LS25MKII was less involving as well upon demo vs the original. Many high end ... | |
| MIT Magnum MA speaker cables Only the lower range MIT products have ICONN connectors and modular plug in design. | |
| Most pleasing sound vs most hifi sound A car system is in a closed acoustical space, so detail and low level information are more readily discerned. In addition, the car runs off of a 12Volt battery...DC, as opposed to AC wt grunge:( | |
| Which ARC Linestage? The LS-25 6922 version was and is one of their best ever and a steal on the second hand market. | |
| Avalon Eidolon and Krell, good match or not? The Eidolon is very holographic and fast with an accurate/neutral presentation. The 700cx will drive anything well but must be mated appropriately with a musical front end and preamp...garbage in/garbage out! The 802D speakers are a forward soundi... | |
| MIT Magnum MA speaker cables Wonderfull sound but I went with Oracle Dot 2 cables for alot less. | |
| How do you ship large items? Help Bathory127, I shipped a pair of Dynaudio C4's uncrated across the country last year fully insured without incident. I used a company called Mini Moves. Another company is Micro Movers. If interested I can dig up the paperwork and contact numbers. |
