| Anyone have any experience with new Ayre QB9 DAC? http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/pcaudio/messages/52112.html | |
| Ayre CX7-E vs Rega Saturn; your thoughts please Second the CX-7e. It is already a very fine sounding player in the evolution ("e") form and I hear that it is significantly better with the recently announced MP upgrade.As Cpk points out, Ayre is constantly looking for ways to improve the sound o... | |
| BALANCED VS UNBALANCED Metralla,Got it. I'm with you. I am also a big fan of fully diffentially-balanced equipment (Ayre, Krell) and XLR cables and I just thought that if someone misunderstood your post, they might avoid going the balanced route entirely. It's all good.... | |
| BALANCED VS UNBALANCED Yoby is correct. Differentially-balanced designs (Ayre, Krell, Classe' Audio, BAT, etc) are the correct and optimal method of deploying 'balanced' signal technology. Inexpensive equipment with XLR inputs and/or outputs (often called 'balanced') fr... | |
| Purist Audio vs. Synergistic Research ICs Agree with all above. SR cables provide a live sound and an enormous soundstage that no other cable I have heard can match. PAD is probably a little smoother and laid back than the Accelerator/Precision Reference, so it really a matter of what you... | |
| ONKYO TX-NR905 The hard facts are that nothing is perfect, so enjoy your Onkyo and be happy! | |
| Sky Wire Here is a review:http://www.sixmoons.com/audioreviews/5cables/1.html | |
| ONKYO TX-NR905 Do not set the AVR to Bi-amp unless you have Bi-wire capable speakers and use 2 sets of speaker cables per speaker - one for tweeters and one for woofer - AND no jumpers between the bi-wire speaker terminals. Otherwise, you will damage the AVR and... | |
| 36v, 72v active filter on AudioQuest IC As for the Sky, it is a great cable at a great (high) price. Niagara will save you 40% to 50% on the used market, and the sound quality is not much less. See this review:http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-61655.htmlAgain, when dea... | |
| 36v, 72v active filter on AudioQuest IC I have 1.5M Niagara XLR analog interconnects with the 72v dbs power packs between my preamp and amp. They sound very good in my system - very close to the excellent Synergistic Research Tesla Accelerator ICs. The DBS system does make a slight impr... | |

| Midrange texture? With a very good system like yours, I have to agree with Dave_b that cables and power cords will have a major impact on the amount of detail and also the harmonic texturing. Right now, I am comparing two Synergistic Research power cords, a Precisi... | |
| captured cable to IEC conversion challenges My Krell amp had a captive power cord. I cut it off about one inch from where it exits the amp's rear panel, wired in a Furutech FI-33 Gold 20amp IEC (see VHAudio.com for a good selection of IEC choices) and used a dremel tool to enlarge the hole ... | |
| Review: Millennium M-CD-Mat Tweak Thanks for the nice review Mike. A friend of mine has a Marantz 9600 and has had issues with the mat causing a 'scraping' noise inside the player with some CDs. Do you? |
