| Opinion of OCM 500 Amp Hi Twilo: I once "auditioned" this amp in my system. Used with fairly decent front end and Alon IV's and M.L. Sequel II's. The build quality is very good, the overall sound (bear in mind this was a few years ago) was always musical, but lacked the... | |
| Power Cord comparsion Excuse me, but who in the heck is this FIM co. anyway? Can't find 'em on ANY search engine! How much are they, where are they manufactured, ?????? They need to take a lesson from a marketing 101. Or are they purposely trying to be "cool" and "unde... | |
| Power Cords, Should they all be from the I concur with Pls1, in my system, the P300 made a much bigger improvement than power cords alone. My "two cents" are that each component has its own "character" and AC current requirements. I found, with some experimentation, that logic applies (m... | |
| Power cord recommendation needed FLASH! I wouldn't buy ANYTHING until you audition the "Silver Audio "Power Burst" AC cord. I compared to the Custom Pwr II and the "Black Mamba, and found the Silver Audio superior - in ALL parameters, and for a lot less green. At $190. for a 2 me... | |
| Anyone heard PS Audio Lab Cable? Have to agree with other posts here, I'm using a Lab Cable to "drive" my Classe AC301 with EXCELLENT results. Really let my amp open up and "breath". All areas improved drastically (soundstage, clarity, liquidity) with a HUGE difference in Bass de... | |
| Conrad-Johnson Evolution 2000 hybrid Amp I owned one back in '94, used with Alon IV's. In my particular set-up, the amp was never laid-back sounding. HUGE soundstage, good deep, "tuneful", powerful bass. Kind of a slighlty "dated" design perhaps by todays standards (?) IE: No detachable ... | |
| tube headphone amp? I currently own the Antique Sound Lab headphone amp. My prior set-up was X-cans w/X-PSU power supply. The Antique blows the X-cans out of the proverbial water - in ALL parameters (and is cheaper @ $260.00). UNBELIEVABLE sound for so little coin. U... | |
| Phono Pre with volume control? Or...for less than a used auto...try a B.A.T. P5 Phono Stage (all tube ((10!)), MASSIVE design (2) Torodial transformers, 40lbs.!)with a Placette Volume control. Incredibly transparent for about $2400. total. | |
| tekna sonic vibe absorbers My two cents - as said by Mistalava, it does depend on the speaker (& amp). I am using them to GREAT effect on my ReQuests, which don't have the cleanest bass to begin with. the Tekna Sonics made a BIG, IMMEDIATE improvement with these. And he... | |
| Amplifier for Martin Logan Requests I too have tried various amps with my ReQuests, tube & solid, my advice: don't buy ANYTHING until you've heard the lastest Classe amps. Listen to the CA301, CA401, or even the CA201. Classe is also recommened by the folks at M.L. who told me t... | |
| Sonic Horizons cables? Hi Paul: Just purchased their Skyline AC power cord. Definately noticed an immediate improvement with my M.L. no. 39 CD. Very well built and do seem to offer a lot of "bang for the buck". | |
| Opinions on the Quantum Symphony Pro??? I too am an "out on the fringe" sick Audiodude, and will tray just about ANYTHING to reach the Sonic Gold. I tried (& own) the regular "Symphony", after auditioning it at home for a month (via Music Direct www.amusicdirect.com). It DOES *seem ... | |
| Theta Miles CD player I to owned a Miles for a time and found it (running direct, straight-to-amp) one of THE BEST sounding digital front ends around. Just make sure you get the "full balanced" version(if applicable), sounds MUCH better than the single- ended-out only ... | |
| Krell or Mark Levinson amp.? Looks like a few responses on this one...but, do yourself (and your wallet) a favor & listen to the new Classe CA301 or CA401. I have compared to both the M.L. & Krell and find the CLasse at least equal or in some areas more musical. | |
| Will SL3 work in my weird room?! Help! Hello Doug: I'm on my third pair of Logans'-- ReQuest (also owned Sequel II, Aeriusi)so I know what your wringing your hands over. One of the ADVANTAGES of the Logans' are the fact that their horizontal dispersion is more or less limited to the si... |
