| What speaker cables to buy I went to Cardas on my Aerial 7 (A)s from my Aragon power amp and never looked back... I started with AQ Midnights then went to Quadlinks to experience an amazing difference.I currently have Biwired Cardas Neutrals.THE BEST WAY TO BUY ANY CABLES I... | |
| McCormack DNA-1 vs Odyssey Stratus vs Marsh 400 Both Aragon & McCormack are exceptional performers. In my setup I currently use an Aragon, however I found that the McC was better in my system than the Aragon (more refined, better solidity of image) with Aerial Acoustic 7s.However, I receive... | |
| Pioneer vs. Panasonic plasma Mr_Bill,I believe that the only differences between the Panasonic 60U and the 600U are the PC inputs.You can check http://www.panasonic.com for the info under the Television section - tech specs.If you really want somewhat better quality and want ... | |
| Pioneer vs. Panasonic plasma Hi Goatwuss,I found that NOTHING compares to actually checking the stuff out yourself in a store.I check out AVSFORUM for news and issues regarding certain items and it is adequate for that use.However, I find that you should take ALL forums with ... | |
| Need advice for full range speaker with bottom end As far as deep and accurate goes, if VMPS still produces like they used to (and they probably do given the reports I have seen), they will definitely go rock bottom as far as bass is concerned - I used to own a pair of the original "smaller" tower... | |
| speakers to replace infinity Qe I owned a set of Infinity Qa speakers long ago... Very nice!They edged out the Advents I had my eye on (ear on?) due to a slightly better bass response (although they didn't play as loudly).I later moved to VMPS and then to Aerial's line of speake... | |
| Pioneer vs. Panasonic plasma Recently purchased the Panasonic TH50-PX60U... very pleased with it.You can't really lose with either the Pana or Pioneer models.I ultimately chose the Pana because it was somewhat cheaper (although the Pioneer had a slightly better PQ - by a nose... | |
| Has anyone tried out new Mapleshade speaker wires I have the $85 speaker cables for my fronts & center in my HT system and they perform well there...However take my update with a grain of salt as the cables they replaced were typical "crap-o-matic" issue.They are mated to a Yamaha receiver an... | |
| LP "Cutouts" Cutouts were also noted as promotional items as well; I won a bunch of albums in the 80s during phone call in contests (before they wised up and started asking for the nth caller...).Most of them were cutouts and likely not overstock (in fact some... | |
| Mid price receiver I managed to get a Yamaha HTR-5960 7.1 system for approx. $300 bucks + ship (though the site where I got the price no longer sells at this price)...Check around through one of the shopper sites and see what you can find!Be sure whomever you go wit... | |
| Opinions on lower priced digital that can compete You may want to try Chris VenHaus' Pulsar with Copper/Gold WBT NextGen RCAs (vhaudio.com).They worked well in my setup (and the price was right)... generally I found that changes in digital cables seemed to only effect soundstaging and (to use an ... | |
| Good speakers less efficient? I agree with Eldartford above in that I noticed there seems to be a level on a number of recordings that seem to "come to life" at a given point and then as it gets louder, the magic tends to go away.On some recordings there are multiple "magic" S... | |
| Whats more important? Speaker or the Amp I tend to lean toward the speaker side of things as this addresses the "voice" of your system, however you must recognize that there is a balance to maintain in maximizing your satisfaction of the results.If you are trying to get the "best of the ... | |
| Passive Pre - No Regrets? The key to getting a passive system together is to ensure that everything from stem to stern (uh, I mean from source to power amp) matches properly for the passive line controller that you select (i.e., impedence, output voltage, interconnect leng... | |
| Amp Upgrade for Aerial 10t's The best amps I heard on 10Ts were:Jeff Rowland Model 112McCormack DNA-1 (but nowadays I would give the DNA-500 a try)I also heard a Gryphon that was nice on them too.These would be on my short list.Good Luck! |
