| Marantz 2325 nice upgrade, that certainly helps the speaker cable search.as i said, the mac ultra silver+ cables sound great on mine. many cables, as you know, sound too muffled on old marantz gear - cardas, for example. so i would tend to get a cable with som... | |
| Marantz 2325 does your 2325 still use pins for speaker cable connections, jake?if so, belkin makes a "silver series" speaker cable which is actually very good (and it's been on close-out for a while) for which you can buy screw in pins. i use them on my marant... | |
| How to fix my detailed, accurate but BRIGHT system accepting the fact that room treatments are out of order (which i totally respect), i do think cables could help a bit.if you could ever audition a set of van den hul carbon cables (rca versions are: "the first", "the first ultimate", or my favori... | |
| swapping IC's to demo and cardas's site sdvice. yeah, i'm sure it's been discussed here in the past if you do a search.if i recall correctly, it has something to do with creating (and i'm not going to remember the correct term here) "micro cracks" in the wire that the signal then has to deal wi... | |
| Center Channel Frequency Response if you don't have to worry about more people than, say, you and a significant other watching television, i would suggest you try going without a center channel and just sitting in the sweet spot when you can.people like them for off-axis listening... | |
| Power conditioner needed???? dude, i'm the first one to admit that i know next to nothing about the science behind electronics and can't tell you for sure (obviously) what you're experiencing, but i would suggest trying one in your situation.i've had shunyata, ps audio (passi... | |
| I'm adding Jupper cables and your opinion is ?? agree with jd above, the bass speakers are much less dependant on wire than the mid and treble for their sonic character.i would just suggest to get a big gauge wire (8 or 10 gauge) so that none of the signal from the amp is constricted in its las... | |
| ICE amps vs analog amps for bass my response would probably fall under the category of "covering all the bases" and you've probably already thought about it, but i would just make sure your cables are up to the job. seems like they sould sound good with decent power, interconnect... | |
| HDMI Cable with New Oppo Bluray Player i can second the audioquest rec - i use some hdmi3's and they are the first hdmi cables that i've demoed that look as good as my component connections - though i didn't try the wireworlds that you mention and i had heard good things about them. in... | |
| What should I upgrade? after trying just about every brand of power cables, i'm using the biggest gauge cables for most things now. to me, it seems i get the best sound out of just unconstricting the power supply as much as possible. mostly ps audio 6 and 8 gauge. love ... | |
| What should I upgrade? well, a quick check shows that the 4vs are 13awg, maybe someone who knows maggies can speak to how they react to different cables?my martin logans are not as sensitive as other speakers in terms of bass response because the panel doesn't go too lo... | |
| What should I upgrade? what cables are you using? more power would be great, two subs would be great, sure. but i would make sure that you're getting all the bass you can out of your system first to see where you stand.i've never owned maggies and i don't know how sensi... | |
| Using preamp's balanced & RCA outputs at same time yeah, it works great. it gives you terrific flexibility, as you know.i use xlr outs to feed the mid/treble signal to one amp and the rca to feed another bass amp so that i'm sending a full range signal everywhere. i would have thought, though, tha... | |
| Good "warm" CD player for $500 at the risk of creating WERF (wife eye rolling factor) out of thin air, i would mention that the smoothest/warmest lower-priced cd player i've heard is the cute lil' sony ps1 model 1001. i find myself listening to it much more than my higher price... | |
| Recommendation on IC's and speaker for this system wow, it's hard to imagine that system is bright... could the monster power unit be restricting your low end or something?if it were me, i'd try plugging stuff into the wall for a bit just to make sure it isn't doing something to your sound. on pap... |
