| Older or Modern amp for older Speakers (NHT 3.3) @photodusty ,Good move. And +1 for a good power cord. Steve also likes adding HiFi Tuning Fuses to the amp. I think there are 3 or 4 in there.B | |
| Looking for ic AQ would be my first choice.Zu cables, especially the more current models, are quite good for the price. They offer them on Ebay, too.I'd keep the amp for now, and get some decent cables. If you find you need more power, there are plenty of amps o... | |

| DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA Wow, what a clam bake this turned into...@tomiiv,If your dealer's wiring doesn't produce hum in your amps, I don't see why he didn't have his 'electricians' check your wiring.But, considering how you have been treated, I would be circumspect about... | |
| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? I always wanted to get the Shahinian's. Very nice sound. I still remember hearing them at the Audio show opposite Penn Station back in the '80's.Same with Maggie's and Dahlquist. I was like Homer Simpson drooling over donuts.Well, to be honest, I ... | |
| Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless @mahler, Wow, that sounds bad. My interactions with Bluesound have been stellar, especially considering I bought my Nodes second hand.I know there are 2 techs, one is named Maya. I'll try to see if I can get her to look at your problem.Bob | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). @janehamble ,I bought some IEC right angle adaptors from AQ, and a rather expensive one from Voodoo Cable-It can be rotated, but they will set it up to the direction you want. Nice to know that if I change things, it can be readjusted with a few s... | |
| System Cable Upgrade Recommendation @bfjones, Though I can understand a company has rules on returns, I really get upset when they do not provide some leeway when it comes to returns and warranty.Hearing this, I would steer clear of Silnote.One of the reasons I like AQ is that they ... | |
| Older or Modern amp for older Speakers (NHT 3.3) Even that old Adcom can be had for a song. I just recently sold mine, and it still worked like a charm.The Hafler and McCormack seems like it would be a good pairing. At least, to me.B | |
| Vandersteen VLR CT I wish he would offer the CT upgrade for my Treo's.@cedargrove,I need to let Johnny look at my AX-7e, I will try to see if he can set the two speakers up for a demo.B | |
| Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless I have been having issues with my Bluesound App/Nodes for a few months.Today, Bluesound emailed me and said they replicated the issue and hope to issue an upgrade soon.I have to say, they have been very patient and vigilant in trying to correct th... | |
| DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA @OP,I would find another electrician. From what you have described, I would be wary of what the original electrician did-especially with his nasty attitude, and concerned that this setup is according to code. Perhaps the whole problem with the Mac... | |
| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). @janehamble ,+1My Tornado's really opened up. Bass is significantly better defined.My recommendation to anyone buying them is to buy a longer length than needed so that you can have some wiggle room.The right angle connectors really help. AQ said ... | |
| Opinions on Dacs... Schiit would be my choice. And, if possible a used Gungnir, you can have it converted to Multibit later. It's much better than the Bifrost (which I owned before the Gungy).Bob | |
| Older or Modern amp for older Speakers (NHT 3.3) I owned the 3.3's long ago. Very nice speaker for the money.I was using an Adcom GFA 555 and PS Audio 4.6.I think going the McCormack route would be a great way to power them.The best part is that they can be upgraded by SMcAudio. In fact, if you ... |
