| A Perennial Debate For Which I Seek Help Tony, two words: Do it. You won't believe what you can improve with the sound with some good PCs. You'll kick yourself for not doing it much sooner. If you're leery buy them used here and have at it. I will tell you this; Power cords were the last... | |
| Interconnect cable upgrade disapointment Shadorne, It's very likely he didn't hear a distinct difference, because there is not a distinct difference in the cables themselves. If someone can demonstrate that the Topaz and Cobra are quite different from each other, the I'll be happy to rec... | |
| A Perennial Debate For Which I Seek Help Uru975, Yes, I concur; you have stated in a more artistic fashion the importance and influence of the system. | |
| A Perennial Debate For Which I Seek Help Markphd, I assumed you would return with such a response. I need not have an identical agent internally and externally to make my point.Pray tell precisely HOW the components on the INside of a speaker will improve the cabling running TO the speak... | |
| A Perennial Debate For Which I Seek Help Markphd, poor logic. Like saying of a car, "If the engine in the car was better, there would be no point in changing the tires to performance tires." Nycwine1,Question: Is this supposed to be a "no compromise" speaker? Are your expectations for it... | |
| Interconnect cable upgrade disapointment Joe, your equipment is good. It's possible your dealer has another line of cables to try. It's very likely you will hear more difference trying a different brand. Also, cables have a "compounding" effect; the more changed the more you can move tow... | |
| Interconnect cable upgrade disapointment If the geometry and total gauge of the two are not that dissimilar, then you have your results - more the same than different. You will not get a sea change in performance from break in. Your ears may acclimate to the sound, but that should not be... | |
| LEGACY FANS ? Why not just buy a second A23, bridge it, and get 400 wpc? And for the fun of it, you can also configure them in dual stereo mode to see how that strikes you. You'll likely enjoy bridged mode more, especially if you biwire. | |
| LEGACY FANS ? I have spent quite a bit of time using different amps with the Legacy Focus HD speakers. I have used, Dussun V8i, Monarchy SM-70 Pro, Eastern Electric M-520, Jeff Rowland 501 monos, as well as Melody, McIntosh, and Pathos amplification. One of my ... | |
| Amp vs preamp question Unsound, good point. If he's driving the Thiels to high levels in an 18x18 room, he's got more problems than amp power; he'll be working on hearing loss. 4 Ohm nominal impedance, 90dB sensitivity. He'll be fine. I have used integrateds (i.e. Patho... | |
| Power cords and soundstage Excellent! So, Jylee, would you now revise your comment from your OP, "By the way I consider myself as semi-skeptic and semi-believer of good cables. I've heard subtle difference and improvement on some of the cables. But in most cases either I ca... | |
| Amp vs preamp question If you are asking that question, buy an integrated. :) | |
| MIT Power Cables What is the way to go? I reviewed the MIT AVt MA series, and also took a look at their Oracle PC. Sure, it gets much better on up the line, but only you can decide if the financial pinch is worth the acoustic shot in the arm. http://www.dagogo.com/MIT-ZStabilizerIIIseri... | |
| Power cords and soundstage Newbee, very good post. :) We're not so far off in all this. Certainly one man's "dramatic difference" may be another's "nominal difference". This is one reason written comparisons can be tricky. Jylee you need to know two things:1. As you have se... | |
| Power cords and soundstage If you want to learn what different power cords can do in detail, see my reviews on Dagogo.com of the various cables I have used. There is plenty of technological information explaining how they operate. In my experience conductor, geometry, and t... |
