| "Floating ground" and Electraglide Fat Man p. c.? I would be interested to know what other cords besides electraglide which floats the ground as a standard. I am currently using cheater plugs on my amps and am looking for cords without the ground loop. | |
| Problems with Svetlana KT88 and Sonic Frontiers I have been running Svetlana KT88's in my power 3's with no problems. I am interested though in trying the EH6550's. I would be interested in hearing from anyone that has done a direct comparison of these tubes on power 3's. | |
| ++ Hovland HP-100 ++ I have had the HP100 about 9 months and could not be more pleased with it. I have the version with MC phono. I replaced an Audible Illusions L1 and Audio Research PH3 and the HP100 is much superior as both a line stage and phono stage. The preamp ... | |
| Anyone bought Speakers from outside U.S.A.? I purchased my Vienna Acoustics Mahler's from a dealer in Italy. I had some of the same reservations that you do. The individual had alot of positive feedback with Audiogon and would take credit cards which convinced me to go ahead with the purcha... | |
| Wolcott Presence 220M system compatiblity? I am not that familiar with the Wilson Maxx but would think that the speaker would be quite demanding of amplification. The B&W's 800 line can be pretty demanding as well. The specs on the Mahler are similar to the B&W803 as far as sensiti... | |
| Has anybody heard the Shanling CD player? My situation is similar to yours Outlier. I have a Sonic Frontiers SFT1 and SFD2Mk11 DAC which was near state of the art 5 years ago and built like a tank. Have thought of selling to upgrade to new technology but could possibly take a step back if... | |
| Optimal Speaker Placement Thanks for yoour responses. The Cardas and Audiphysics sites do have some good info reagrding speaker placement. I have been quite pleased with the Mahlers with my 9ft spacing. Since I have been unable to test much different spacing do to my equip... | |
| Acoustic Zen Silver Ref vs. Kimber Select 1030 Eagle, how do you tell the new version AZ silver reference from the older version? | |
| Acoustic Zen Silver Ref vs. Kimber Select 1030 I purchased the AZ silver reference used so they were already broken in. I have not heard the matrix but my wireworld were very open transparent cables and I felt in my system the silver reference bested them in that department. | |
| Acoustic Zen Silver Ref vs. Kimber Select 1030 I have not done a comparison with the Kimber but have replaced my Wireworld Gold Eclipse III inteconnects with the AZ Silver Reference. The AZ cable seemed much more alive and brought images into focus better than with the Wireworld in my system. ... | |
| Any experience w/ Vienna Mahler ? I have had a pair of Mahlers for about a year. I do not experience any issues with the bass response. I have the fronts about 3 1/2ft out from the back wall and 5 ft from the closest side wall. These speakers do require more room than others but i... | |
| MIT Z Center vs PS Audio Ultimate Outlet? I have 2 dedicated sets of outlets of which the z center and transport are plugged into one of them and my monoblocks are plugged directly into the other set. I have felt that the sound may be better going directly into the outlet because of now p... | |
| Vibration platform for Basis Turntable ? I do not have a Basis table but use the vibraplane under my VPI and was the equivalent of a major component upgrade. I do not see how you could go wrong with it. | |
| Power amp recommendation for Vienna Mahler I have the Mahlers and am using Bryston 7B ST monoblocks. They sound very good and provide deep controlled bass. I do have a larger listening room and the results could be different in a smaller room. These amps seem to be a good value and can be ... | |
| Are Vienna Acoustics really this good I own a pair of the Mahlers and am very pleased. I am using with 500 watt per channel Bryston 7BST monoblocks and an Audible Illusions L1 linestage. The speakers just disappear in the soundstage. The bass is very deep and tight and the midrange/tr... |
