| You got to show me something more! Coltrane1, I do not have any idea of how much time you put into reading the threads and posts listed on this site. However, as an observation, I must state that it does not appear to have been too much. You sight only two of over 3000 threads. Spe... | |
| Best speaker cables Yanomami, to expand on what Cornfed and Trcnetmsncom mean by audition is: Listen to some cables, get used to the sound they produce, then get another set of cables and put them in and compare the sound. At that point, decide which of the two you l... | |
| Tonearm/Cartridge Upgrade Thanks for the responses. I am in the Chicago area and a local dealer recommended a Dynavector arm have any of you had any experience/knowledge of this arm? I've never heard of it. Sedond, how can I get info on the O-L arms? Cornfed, do you know i... | |
| speakers for symphony at minimum budget? I had a pair of Maggie 3.5R's before I got my B&W 801's. The Maggies create a beautiful soundstage when set up properly. I also found them to be tonally accurate. The Maggies are a good choice as well. A pair of new 3.6R's will only be slightl... | |
| Best speaker cable ???? Try Transparent Audio Labs. You will probably need to go to at least the TAL Super model. I have a ML 380S and ML 332 with B&W 801's. Sound is great. Transparents work very well with Levinson. You may also want to try MIT. I've have mot tried ... | |
| speakers for symphony at minimum budget? You may want to consider B&W's. The 801 has been used by many of the recording studios thar record classical for many years. Good Luck, Doug | |
| Amp for B&W 802 SIII Madosonears, does North Creek make an outboard for the 801's? How do I get in touch with these guys? You state that the upgrade was a revelation. How so? How did the sound change? Thanks Doug. | |
| Tonearm/Cartridge Upgrade Slowhand, did you compare any other arm/cartridge combinations before buying? I see many posts and periodical reviews with the JMW listed. This leads me to know that the arm is a quality product in addition to my enjoyment of my VPI TT. I apprecia... | |
| cartridge set up Michael Fremer went through a step-by-step in his Analog Corner section of Stereophile a year or two back. It may be on their website (www.stereophile.com). If not, contact them for a copy of the back issue. If I remember correctly due to length i... | |
| SACD Players Simon, I know what you mean!! This is part of the reason that I have not jumped into the High Rez Digital arena. Although I do not have a deep underatanding of PCM and digital I understand enough (probably enough to be dangerous)to know that there... | |
| SACD Players Rcprince, have you listened to the Accuphase? If so did you compare it to the Sony's or the Marantz? Simon, I seem to recall an item in Stereophile recently (I don't remember which issue, but I could find it) in the industry update indicating that... | |
| Where do you buy Hubbell wall socket? Phild, Tubegroover is on the right path. Bottom line is, if your panel does not have breakers you should call an eletrician. | |
| Where do you buy Hubbell wall socket? You guys are right about the wiring. I apologize, it was late last night and I was in a hurry. The most important thing is that the wires go on the new receptacle the same way they came off the old. The hot (black) could be red, blue or some other... | |
| SACD Players Myles, That you know of, are any of the high end manfacturers currently proposing the production of SACD players? If so, which ones and when? Or, are they waiting the format war out. What do you mean by "the low frequency registers sound the same"... | |
| Where do you buy Hubbell wall socket? Most any electrical supply store will carry them or can order for you. You may not be able to get them at a Home Depot/Menards/Lowes. Look in the Yellow Pages under Electrical Supply. I got mine for about $10 and yes they are the hospital grade. T... |
