My Line Arrays and Dynaudio monitor - where to go
The Dyns C1 I'm looking at are used. I fully expect breakin periods - some are laughable and memorable. It's all good. This is a crazy hobby as there are so many great speakers to choose from (if you have the budget;-)Funny, I've been doing audio,... 
Want to play my vinyl collection - again
The Clearaudio Emotion solution looks like a great re-entry deal into vinyl. NiceHere's a dumb newb question. Regarding the Musical Surroundings Phonomena II vs the Slee Era Gold, does the Maestro cartridge work with either phono stage and what wo... 
Want to play my vinyl collection - again
Good information thanks. Surprising too as it's been in my experience that performance audio companies treat users very well. Nuforce especially. I blew up one of my monoblock amps, told them so, dropped it off in the morning (they are close by) a...

Is there no Love for the Opera Consonance line? Specifically the Droplet 3.1 with the T988 tonearm. 
Want to play my vinyl collection - again
LOL! Slikric great response! But I tried that turntable. Snap crackle pop. I remember those days and remember, it's like I'm a newb to vinyl again. I've been streaming FLAC for years. Hell, I've just revisted CD's cause my Oppo BDP83, which sounde... 
Modwright Transporter VS Transporter w/DAC
I can answer this question and ask the same question.I have a stock transporter. I've been chasing a nagging glare issue within my system for since it's inception. My system consists of line arrays (LS6's) Cary SLP-05 and a pair of Nuforce 9SEV2's... 
Transporter vs Ayre CX-7e
Wow this IS an interesting thread. You guys rock! Mtdking - it seems we have similar tastes or goals if you will. I've done some upgrading in the past year. Nuforce SEV2 mono's and a Transporter to start with. A Cary SLP-05 went in next. Wew wante... 
Tubes to improve my Cary SLP 05
Here's a combo that I found that gives me what I would call the best of all worlds. Your equipment and CABLES will impart their own imprint on the sound of course as well as your speakers but I guess you know that - sorry.My first listen was with ... 
Cary SLP-05 balanced or single ended
I just ordered some Neotech EI-3001 cable and the Furutech Rhodium balanced connectors to build a balanced cable. My current balanced cable is a vampire connector and a much cheaper Neotech wire configuration. I wonder if this is a potential bottl... 
Cary SLP-05 balanced or single ended
I'm running Nuforce 9SEV2's, source being a Transporter and feeding AV123 LS6 line arrays. Mostly VH-Audio power using Furutech and Oyaide connectors. My interconnects I feel are the weak link (no pun intended).Krisjan - Did you mean EH 6SN7's? 
Power Cable DIY - need advice
I have the Flavor 4 with Furutech Gold plug and silver IEC. Wonderful cable in my system. I purchased an Acrolink with the 004 Oyaide's. I couldn't decern a big difference in these 2 cables when connected to my Cary SLP-05 pre. I've heard that thi... 
Biwire cable on a standard 2 terminal speaker?
So I did it. I silver soldered the leads of the biwires together and replaced the Reality cables with the MIT's.First, I'll start by saying the sound of my newly acquired LS-6's was a disappointment. The whole presentation had a tipped up quality ... 
Biwire cable on a standard 2 terminal speaker?
Thanks for your responses. I will reterminate the banana plugs to spades tonight and see how this cable compares to the Reality cable I recently purchased. Should be an interesting comparison. 
DIY Acrolink or Lessloss for Cary SLP-05?
Thanks folks, this is what I was looking for. I'm going with Acrolink and the Oyaide 079's. The Oyaide 079 worked well with my Flavor 4's and I might imagine based upon the valuable experience's posted here as well as a web site I found that match... 
What is the best band ever?
Oh ya, Pink Floyd - forgive me..
