| opinions on Shunyata, Nordost spkr. cables Finally chose a speaker cable, the final two were the Nordost Heimdall and Shunyata Gemini. For those that have listened to the Shunyata Lyra, the Gemini is very different. I found the Lyra to be a bit bright and sound stage not as full and deep. ... | |
| Tough Choice: Proac D25 or Dynaudio Special 25 I did listen to the Harbeth M30, and Compact 7 prior to purchasing the Dynaudio Special 25. I thought the Compact 7 was a nice speaker but felt the M30 much nicer, especially the upper frequencies, more liquid, more musical, no brightness or grain... | |
| Help with $6k - $7k amplifier setup I have been very happy with the Belles 21A Auricap and Refernce 150A power amp combo, $6000 for the pair. It also allows a bit of an upgrade by later adding another 150A and setting them up mono. Look up the reviews. I have heard the fidelio and a... | |
| Tough Choice: Proac D25 or Dynaudio Special 25 I have not heard the Proacs but am familiar with the dynaudio 25 and own a pair. I can tell you what I like about them. They disappear easily, I like to hear one large deep sound stage and the Dynaudios do that well. I think they have great detail... | |
| How Do I Build a Faraday Cage? I remember using one when I was a grad student doing open and closed cell patch clamping. Absolutely could not do without a cage, to much interference. I am sorry though, it was built when I got there. You might try contacting a university that ha... | |
| opinions on Shunyata, Nordost spkr. cables Yeah, I thought about that. But then I think I would want to upgrade my CD player to match what my cables could do, then my amps might need a little improvement. I could then upgrade my cartridge and phono stage, (haven't even gotten my new TT yet... | |
| opinions on Shunyata, Nordost spkr. cables Well, I had a late night music listening and cable juggling session. Sorry for spelling errors, not much sleep. I did compare the two Shunyata speaker cables as follows. My system is not updated so some specifics; Belles Auricap 21A pre and Refere... | |
| opinions on Shunyata, Nordost spkr. cables Well, I have a pair of Andromeda and Gemini to audition. Well see where they go. I do not have a pair of Heimdall but I have heard my set up with the Valhalla. A bit out of my price range. | |
| Record Cleaning Machine I use the VPI 16.5 and am very happy with it for the price. The loricraft and monk is better, much better, but more costly. As for residue I did a little experiment. I use a Zerodust to cleam my stylus. When I had cleaned I would clean stylus afte... | |
| opinions on Shunyata, Nordost spkr. cables Thanks for the information. It is difficult to narrow down the "A" list prior to test drives and this helps. It is also nice to get peoples experiences with products that I may never use but others have tried. Jtimothya, I also appreciate your det... | |
| opinions on Shunyata, Nordost spkr. cables I will be using Dynaudio special 25, Belles Reference 150A amp and 21A preamp, Dynavector phono and Nottingham AceSpace tt. My question however is really geared more twords other peoples experience with their set up. I am sure that I will try thes... | |
| Arcam CD36: Any opinions? I purchased a CD33 after auditioning several different CD players. I liked the 33 for it's musical voice and "analog" sound. I listen mainly to vinyl and found the 33 very pleasant to hear. The Arcam dealer then got in the 36. It required a lot of... | |
| What exactly is "B stock"? I purchased a pair of B stock dynaudio special 25's that were used as the demo pair for Stereophile magazine. They are perfect in every way, I have a full set of measurements for my individual pair of speakers in the June 2005 stereophile, and Dyn... | |
| Audio Debt? I have some debt on my audio system, not much, but I think paying a reasonable intrest rate makes a lot more sense, and is a lot cheaper, than paying a cable T.V. bill. How many have cable hook up to their home theater system? The important thing ... | |
| Tubes for Belles 21A I don't have an answer for you but I would like to hear what people say. I just bought a new 21A Auricap and Ref. 150A power amp and have considered playing with the tubes. So, I thought I would post and see if we can get some tube guru's inputs. |
