"Krell" is a buzzword
Speaking of buzz words: Where is Sluggo? Did he go underground? 
Best Integrated for SF Signum?
Hi Khokugo: $800.00 plus seems to be the going used price right now. I think that the list price is around $1300.00. If you search the web under "Bel Canto" and hifi you should be able to locate their website that will give you the specs as well a...

Hi Rute: Don't follow my lead because I am clueless when it comes to digital cables. This is the first time that I will have used one. I received recommendations for Illumination 60, the top of the line Wireworld and Nordost cables and a $300.00 T... 
Integrated for around 1K to match with..
Congratulations Dragon! Should be wonderful with your ACI's. Hope you don't have to eat too many Po' Boys to pay it off. LOL. Let us know how it works out.

Thanks Dragon. The Vandersteen fabric is not very transparent (visualy), I wonder what the trick of the weave is? I have witnessed people using "whatever" replacement fabric in the 70's on KLH and AR speakers with not so good sonic results. I wond...

Ekmaia: No, sorry I don't. I would assume that the fabrics that they use are made exclusively for their ties. I own five of their paisley ties, because I like the fabric, which is why this particular company came to mind when making my little joke... 
"Krell" is a buzzword
Boy David99: The next worse mistake that you can make in Hi-fi (other than buying a Krell) is to own a Pass amp. Dumping it is the way to go (and we are talking in the trash here), trust me on this... Is this the type of post that you are referrin...

I have not hooked it up yet as I am still waiting for my digital cable to arrive. I listened to the same model (DAC 1) in a friends system hooked up to an old Marantz player and it made a major improvement. It increased the amount of detail but at...

PS: Your player is the reccomended mate to my Bel Canto DAC, I believe. How bad could it be?

Khokugo: Search this site using "sub" or "subwoofer" as a key word, there is a lot of info on the subject. I just looked up your speakers at Audioreview.com and it looks like most of the owners do use subs. I try to avoid switching more than one t... 
Is Bigger Better?
I have a digital cable on order from Mapleshade that would be considered "tiny" and definatly not "big". If tiny also sounds good another benefit of "light" cables is that they do not tend to interfear (as much) with any isolation components that ...

I have to agree with Rute1 on the Plinius. I listened to the SF Concertos run by the Plinius 8150 integrated at a local dealer and the combo sounded "right". I am not familiar with the 8200 model. I also listened to Linn Tukans on the Plinius with... 
Monster HTS5000 Advice
I use the Monster HTS2000 in my setup with good results. This model receives more favorable reviews at Audioreview.com than the HTS1000 model. It is also available online for the discounted price of $125.00 new. I also believe that is has a favora... 
Cowboy Junkies fans........
I ordered all of the CD's that I do not have from the Cowboy Junkies website a few days ago (only had two from their listing). Total cost was under $90.00US for the bunch as they list for under $10.00US each. Good deal Aye? 
WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor)and Speakers
Good question. Perhaps your own or another speaker manufacturer can supply more information. Carl at this site is also a speaker hobbyist and may have tried different fabric. My old Castle Isis speakers would look super in a paisley print from Lib...
