| SVS SUBWOOFERS I was looking at those, too. I wrote and also called the company and got great responses both ways. I wanted the most musical subs for a stereo, with Maggie 1.7s. They suggested their sealed cubes, SB 13 Ultras. So, I think if you are looking for ... | |
| Age Related Hearing problems and hearing aids I am also 65 and my speakers, Maggie 1.7s, sound much more like I want when I cup my hands behind my ears. Often female vocals sound hazy until I make that adjustment. So, perhaps all these testimonies will give me the courage to try hearing aids.... | |
| Replacing the stock power cable of the TT I got an unexpected improvement with my VPI Classic when I added a PS Audio Premiere Power Plant. It was a used unit, about a grand, and it takes the AC, turns it into DC, then back to AC with much lower distortion and greater consistency. I expec... | |
| Budget cable chaos??? Is River Cable the new star? I bought River Cable speaker cables. They replaced both Kimber 8TC and Tellurium Q Black, and out performed them! I needed long runs, twenty feet, and they were much less expensive and easier to find than the Telluriums, and I liked Telluriums a l... | |
| Anyone own the Darbee Darblet DVP 5000? Oh yes, I have one and I love it! A friend brought one over and let me try it. After twenty minutes I told him to take it home, any longer and I wouldn't give it back! They are inexpensive and look it, no fancy package. I have a 50 inch plasma, Pa... | |
| When do you need a power conditioner I bought a PS Audio Premiere Power Plant, used, about a grand. The improvement it made in my stereo was unexpected, and I have dedicated lines. I bought another for my theater and again, I got improved picture and better separation from my surroun... | |
| Kimber kable 8tc or 12tc warm? I had Kimber 8TC and replaced it with Tellurium Q Black, it was an improvement. Then I needed much longer cables and bought River Cable. It was much better than either of the previous cables, bigger, and less expensive. I would encourage you to lo... | |
| Speaker Cables For Big Horns & Tubes I'm not sure I think cables would be speaker dependant, but I have gone through a few different ones recently. I replaced Kimber 8TC with Tellerium Q Black and felt like I had improved everything. I noticed getting better lyrics from songs. I need... | |
| Has anyone heard the DSPeaker? A friend and I have both experimented with these products. I use two of the 8033 Cinema devices, each manages a SVS Ultra sub. My friend tried the stereo version, then bought the one you are asking about. He has been a tube fanatic, ARC SP 15 prea... | |
| Subwoofer Crossover Question I agree. I run my Maggie 1.7s full range and my SVS subs crossover at 40 Hz. That seemed very low to me, but it was a factory, recommendation and it works beautifully. I have a Antimode on each sub and I run them is stereo. That made a big improve... | |
| Ayre Cx-7e MP or Marantz SA-11s2 SACD - anyone? I have an Ayre 5exMP that just got the MP upgrade. It sounds amazing, but the thing I like best is it will play anything except a Blu-ray. DVD-A, SACD, standard DVD sound only, and it is a solid bit of kit. I believe Marantz is good, but I feel Ay... | |
| PS Audio P3 power Plant I picked up a used PS Audio Premier Power Plant for my system. I plug everything into it except my power amps, JC1 Halos. They plug right into dedicated lines, and the factory says to run them this way. The odd thing for me was the need to run my ... | |
| One SVS PB13 Ultra or two SB13 Ultras? I replaced one Paradigm Servo 15 with two SB13 Ultras. It was better, but then I took Jim Smith's, of "Get Better Sound", advice and now run them in stereo, even though they are crossed over at 40 Hz. More even response, better image, not too larg... | |
| PS Audio Power base I bought a PS Audio Premiere Power Plant used. It made a huge difference in my stereo. My VPI Classic sounds better! I think the PPP does the same thing VPI's controller does, except change speed. My back-up CD player, Chambridge Audio, also sound... | |
| Sony XA5400ES vsCambridge Audio 840C??? I own the Cambridge Audio and consider it my back-up for my Ayre. I recently bought a PS Audio Premiere Power Plant and it has made a remarkable improvement in the Chambridge as well as my VPI Classic. That being said, I love the higher resolution... |
