| what mid priced cables should i buy? I SECOND SEAN!!! The speakers need upgrading badly! You could put even more expensive gear and wires and such on those speakers (no Bose bashing here...) and you'll not get your money's worth out of it!!..until you get new speakers that is. The sp... | |
| Which DVDP IS THE BEST SOUND? Well, first I think you kinda need to quantify what formats you can and can't live without! If you don't need either the SACD or the DVDA, then it makes things simpler. sounds like you're planning on having mostly CD listening though. Anyway, If y... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! Yes, still working on it! And, actually, I think I might upgrade the speakers someday to the next model up. But here it is...It's an ACTIVE set-up using Sonus Faber Electa Amator's (original 1 versions), modified to bypass the simple internal cros... | |
| Speaker recommendations for 2,500 or less? I must concur with the Dunlavy SC1V's used (if you can find at $2500/pr), or the PSB Gold's if you're into Rock music! Actually the Golds can kick out the bass with more authority however, but not as refined and quick w/pinpont imaging as the Dunl... | |
| Anybody know anything about Audioquest GR-8 cable? too new.. What do you want to know? I sell the stuff. It's sounds like Type 4/6 with better bass! Otherwise, it's not as good as the better stuff From AQ, like Gibralter and above | |
| Help with contacting Audible Illusions Depending on you're situation, you may be avoided, put on the back burner, or not called back anytime soon!!!...my experiences anyway. You might get different results, and I hope you do...just not been mine, or my acquaintances experiences with th... | |
| Miller & Kreisel MX-5000 MKII....OK? What are the applications for the sub?...how big is your room? I sell and install the Rel's and M&K's both. I'd have to say that, both companies make a great product. I think, when both subs are set up properly(and even EQ'd from the listening... | |
| Mcintosh Vs Proceed I sold the MCintosh line for quite some time. I've only heard the proceed pieces in mention in other store demo's, and would have to say that, yes, they both make some good sounding pieces between the two companies. I'd say the Mac is a bit warmer... | |
| Frustration with buyers who make offer, then don't I must AMEN what glen said! I suspect you're not in sales? If you've encountered what potential buyers (and even sellers from buyers stand point) can be like over time, you'll know exactly what I mean! You come across all sorts for sure. Trust me,... | |
| Best preamp to use with electrostatic speakers... I second the good passive (or active/passive) preamp approach! I've sold the Prodigy's (and all Logan's), and must say all tubes is not necessarilly the hot ticket! I like something like the Pass Labs Aleph P or L preamps (passive/active). They ar... | |
| Sunfire Theater Grand 1, to buy or not to buy... Not too thilled with these Sunfire preamps really...nothing all that special overall in my experiences. And I've sold Sunfire for a couple of years now!!!..seriously! I think, if you're priorities are movies (and depends on you're speakers a bit),... | |
| Why a line preamp? Seeing that's is all about "balance" in the end (and of course, most people's system, to be critical, are off balance in one way or another), I think there's probably not one solution to every system set-up!!! They all tend to have different requi... | |
| Cables that make no sense... It's all balance in the end. You gotta justify the cost vs. performance, etc. cables indeed make a difference, and you should spend some time finding some ones that match best, with in monetary reason. However, anyone who states that cables make n... | |
| Bass traps/room treatments Ok, so you have the speakers along the longer 25' wall, making you sit the short distance? I believe this is how Dunlavy recommends. And, from my experience, this should sound better overall with this arrangement (all things balanced and considere... | |
| for SF Extrema :pass 350 or ml 336? Overall, I think the Pass 350 is a little more refined sounding than what I hear from the Levinson. I've heard the Pass X150 w/Electa Amators...This sounds quite good! Extremas should sound at least as good or better with the better X350. SF speak... |
