| Quality bulk speaker cable? Most of the OHFC copper Kimber 4XX and 8XX is available in bulk. I just bought 500' of 4PR for some in-house wiring and the dealer was pretty willing to give me a discount off list price for the sale. | |
| Gain matching of power amps Thanks for the info, I'm still thinking about what to do when I move in 1.5 mo. and can unpack some gear in boxes, and its food for thought. Martin Logan actually recommends bi-amping my Prodigys with tubes up top and SS below. I was going to use ... | |
| Gain matching of power amps Kudos to you guys, you answered a question that I had in a different post. But, let me see if I've got this right.I've got a Casablanca preamp, which is basically a big Theta card cage that you can slap different D/A output cards in and configure ... | |
| Does anybody knows................................ I'm speculating here, but might the answer be Mr. Mark Levison himself? I know he left ML a while back and founded Red Rose Audio. | |
| Mono Amp Problem Help me Upon further reflection, I've realized its a severe and irremediable problem. The only solution is to sell the remaining good mono amp at a heavy discount. By the way, have I told you I'm looking for an unmatched ARC mono tube amp for my center ch... | |
| Mono Amp Problem Help me Have you had the tubes tested? You may simply have a bad set of tubes in one amp... | |
| Y Splitter for Bi-Amping? I'm slowing coming around to making my own. I'm thinking I'll try to replicate the build quality of the KCAG, meaning WBT plugs and bulk Kimber wire. It will look a bit funny, however, since WBT doesn't seem to make a female RCA cable terminated p... | |
| Do I connect video out thru receiver or to TV? My post may have been a bit confusing, but its kind of irrelevant if you aren't going to use anything but component video and s-video. The canonical line is that component (R, G & B RCA connectors) is the best video link, so it makes sense, if... | |
| Do I connect video out thru receiver or to TV? If you have enough video inputs on your TV, you will always have a cleaner video signal by avoiding adding extra components in the signal path. Conceptually, video switching can be helpful if you don't like having to separately change your TV to t... | |
| Do "gold" discs sound better? Hmm... I always thought the gold was merely a marketing ploy, and that what you were really buying was a better recording. I've replaced certain "standard" CDs in my collection with Gold CDs (e.g., Dylan's Blonde on Blonde, REM's Murmur and Reckon... | |
| Movie Software make HT a Waste of Resources? Once more into the breach.Do you appreciate music more with a high end 2CH rig? I'd guess. Could you still appreciate music even if you didn't have a high end 2CH rig? I hope so. Do you listen to nothing but optimally recorded 2CH taking full adva... | |
| Movie Software make HT a Waste of Resources? OK, call me a masochist, but I'll bite again.As to your argument that today's software isn't worth investing in HT; I think we can agree to differ, but maybe you aren't looking in the right places. As with any artistic medium, different strokes fo... | |
| Movie Software make HT a Waste of Resources? Is there a point to this? Nanderson, you seem to shift topics everytime someone tries to pin you down. The common part of this thread, as I see it, is that you want to think your keen intellect has forced another cave-dweller into the light of sel... | |
| Add'l amps for ARC/ML HT System? Abstract7, thanks for the input. I poked around on A'gon a bit and, since you seem familiar with Classe, what do you think of the CAV-75? A pair of Classe 70s would seem to run me about $1K, and the CAV-75 maybe 10% more, but its a more recent vin... | |
| Quicksilver Mini Mite or ARC Classic 30 I've got a pair of ProAc RS2s that I powered off of Quicksilver Silver Edn Mono amps for years, and recently switched over to one of the new ARC VT100 MkIIIs. Its no where near a perfect comparison, but might give you insight into the brands. I fo... |
