| 20amp cord I have a 600 and I don't think it benefits much from a better power cord. My gear sounds better plugged into my new DIY Oyaide outlet strip. The Gray, a parallel device, is plugged into that strip. I opened my Gray and changed an outlet to an Oyai... | |
| McIntosh and Richard Gray I like their PC's so much I replaced all mine with them. The most improvement was the smooth, real sounding HF. They were better than Shunyata, Kimber and a lot of others in my system anyway. They are also the only unshielded cable I tried. Perhap... | |
| Warm Power Cord? Richard Gray. Usually can pick one up here for about half retail. They are warm and had a lot less silibance than Shunyata and the many other cords I tried. They are not shielded but I still found it the best for my CDP as well as amps. ET | |
| The most haunting music you ever heard? Robert Miles "Organik" fits the bill. ET | |
| Derek Trucks Hard to go wrong with any of his stuff.... ET | |
| Do any speakers image/sound-stage close to walls? I'm one that feels speakers sound poorly when too close to side walls. There's no room to get image cues from the outside of the speakers. That's a limiter to me. I realize you can't change the room. ET | |
| Which Herbie's Product is Best? I use Iso cup/balls. I also believe in using 3 but on my 55 pound CDP I didn't have confidence that something bad might happen so I went for 4 for added stability. Tendefeet were too bright/brash in the HF on my CDP. ET | |
| Bi-amping with 2 2ch amps try horizontal too. The amp might prefer more similar loads in each channel. ET | |
| Musical Fidelity XLP Gain Yep, read the manual and specs on their website and gain is not mentioned. You have the XLP not the XLP2 or XLPS right? ET | |
| Economics of small speaker manufacturers Some manufacturers sell direct to retailers w/o a distributor. CJ, Gallo come to mind. JM Labs, YBA, Musical Fidelity come through a distributor. Check this: MF Trivista SACD $6495 retail, $4000 wholesale. I got mine as an accommodation from the d... | |
| Quad ESL 2805 or Avantgarde uno Horn? ESL and horns are pretty near on the opposite ends of the spectrum IMO. I would "guess" that if you like the Quads you won't like the Uno or at least not nearly as much. I've heard both and that's my "opinion". Good luck. ET | |
| 8 ohm Dual woofer speakers... How? Maybe they are 4 ohm in series or 8 ohm with a different crossover point on each driver. Just guesses. ET | |
| Phono Card/Board For Cambridge A-500 Int Amp probably not made anymore like the amp. Call retailers that sell Cambridge and see if they have one laying around. Good luck. If you can't find one use an outboard phono pre. As I remember when I sold Cambridge a few years back it was only $100 or... | |
| Help with recording image of record groove needed most video is 30 frames per second.........won't do! ET | |
| 6X9 Car Speakers Too bad Baab isn't around anymore. They had a nice aluminum cone full range 6X9. What others said about rear fill was good. Just get a full range 6X9 w/o a tweeter or get some cheap 6X9's and rip out the crappy tweeter and cap they use as an x-ove... |
