| inexpensive preamp for Ayre V3 with Green Mountain Stringreen,You seem to have a lot of experience with Ayre - what is your opinion on the AX7 - I don't need a ton of power with the GMAs and although the V3 is a good deal used, I am concerned about it's issues with heat and power consumption - Plu... | |
| Speaker Height - improved bass response. Shadorne,I have only been involved in Audiogon for about a year but have appreciated your input on many of the technical threads, especially your practical approach to expensive "tweaks". With some engineering background (more in digital technolog... | |
| Anti Cables with Simaudio I have to reverse my position a bit on my earlier declaration that the silver cables were superior. AFter spending some weeks with them, I have been starting to have that feeling that something was not quite right, definitely a bit of magic missin... | |
| Anti Cables with Simaudio Carl,I hope I made it clear in my post that I was not favoring one cable over the other, merely pointing out that a certain cable performed differently in one system than the other.However I do not agree that it is only a matter of personal prefer... | |
| Vandersteen 2/3 vs. 3A MM de Capo vs. GMA Europa I posted this earlier for another thread but thought it applied hereI would highly advise you to look at Green Mountain Speakers. I have a small room that is acoustically difficult to place speakers in. I have had a number of "box" speakers with m... | |
| First Trip outside of Best Buy, a real newbie. I would highly advise you to look at Green Mountain Speakers. I have a small room that is acoustically difficult to place speakers in. I have had a number of "box" speakers with mediocre results. After falling for a pair of Maggies when I bought m... | |
| Anti Cables with Simaudio Danlib1 - I am interested in trying this - since I have already changed my opinion about differences in speaker cables (though not about spending too much on them), I am open to being swayed on speaker cable burn-in! I will hang on to the anti-cab... | |
| Anti Cables with Simaudio Cyclonicman,I have to admit to being a skeptic about cable break-in. There is no physical property of metal that I am aware of that changes due to electrons bumping into each other in the wire. This has been described as one of the top-ten audio m... | |
| Frequency Response Measurement Question Good comments - It is possible that things moved inches. I also have noticed the effect of my body position on the high frequencies. I will go back and try some different positions to see if the 2k problem is placement.I spent all day today workin... | |
| Do I need a power cable - if so what brand? I recently changed amplifiers and have been a bit dissapointed with the results of the upgrade. Rather than run out and buy a bunch of expensive cables, I am pursuing tweaks such as Room acoustics and power. I admit to being very skeptical about s... | |
| Most overlooked part of your system? Tvad - great response, I find a margarita really opens up my system, much more transparent, on a serious note - I think all audiophiles should read Oliver Sach's recent book "Musicophilia". It is a great study in how much our experience of music i... | |
| Integrated for Green Mountain - Classe, Bel Canto Yes, Roy recommended I look at the Edge - I am just really on a budget as I am in the middle of a career change, in a couple of years, the whole kit is getting upgraded anyway! | |
| Integrated for Green Mountain - Classe, Bel Canto Thanks for all your responses - after a lot of research, I decided on the Simaudio I-5 as a great match for the GMA's. I have to say also, that not only are the Green Mountain's amazing speakers but Roy, the designer and the owner is a terrific gu... | |
| Integrated for Green Mountain - Classe, Bel Canto Garyralph,thanks for your input on the Eico, I did read the article. I think that I am probably to lazy to deal with finicky and really need a remote! Simaudio I-5 keeps coming up on the reviews - anyone have experience with it?drew. | |
| Integrated for Green Mountain - Classe, Bel Canto The Ayre seemed like the ideal amp but it has no pre-outs at all. That is a big problem as I run a sub with my GMA's. |
