| Audiophile Vs. Techfile As an Audiogon shopper, it's been a long time since I've experienced the instant turn-on from opening the box of a brand new piece of equipment, because all the stuff I buy now is used. 9/10 rating please, heheh.I started out in this hobby with an... | |
| AV Racks. What difference does it make? Exactly, Tplavas. Slappy, if YOU can hear the improvement, it was worth it.I've tried various iso-tweaks with varying results. I don't pretend to know how all these different cones and platforms, and isolation or vibration draining theories work, ... | |
| Should I be concerned about overpowering my spkrs In my HT I've been using little NHT SuperOnes and SuperZeros powered by a brutish ATI 1505 150x5 for five years with no problems at all.I'm currently running a BAT VK200 into my ProAc Response 1SCs in my 2 channel system with good results.An amp w... | |
| AV Racks. What difference does it make? Hey Slappy, I know exactly where you're coming from. When I first heard about the effect isolation or vibration control could have on a system, I was pretty skeptical. But the more I read posts on Audiogon and the more I talked to audiophiles abou... | |
| Mixing and Matching Cable Brands: Bad Idea?? I've actually had success both ways.Initially for two years I tried a hodgepodge of different brand of cables without getting satisfying results. I then went to a single brand throughout my system including power cords and this worked very well.A ... | |
| Value of inexpensive linestage preamps? Even an inexpensive tube preamp will probably increase the level of refinement of your system over the Denon.However, if your system can accommodate it [i.e. enough output voltage from the source and input impedance of the amp] an inexpensive pass... | |
| Recommend a good Monitor for my existing system I feel that the ProAc Response 1SCs and Tablette 50 Signatures I currently own have the qualities you're searching for. They're detailed but not analytical. Have a wonderful midrange and are very involving. And they soundstage very well. Wide, dee... | |
| Bryston 4B gets HOT. Should I leave it on? I agree with the previous posts, my Bryston 4b never gets hot even if I leave it on all day. However, the Pass Aleph 3 I auditioned, and the BAT VK200 I currently have both get very hot. Fast!Turn off your Bryston when not in use and get it looked... | |
| Starting a new system... Cool system, TH. I would have started with the audio rack first though. | |
| Which cables go with what????? What, no more posts??!!I was getting a great education following this thread, and laughing my ass off too! | |
| Isophon: Any opinions on Isophon speakers The only time I've heard Isophon speakers was in my friend's VW Rabbit in the mid to late '70's. They were some of the first car speaker systems with separate tweeter and midwoofer drivers. | |
| Bryston owners: What speakers are you using? I have an NHT SW3P passive sub mated to my Bryston 4B, haha. | |
| Anyone using NITES on their CD player?? I have a arrived at a strange powercord set up that remains my favorite. I am using a Nite Extension cord with a cryo'd three-way splitter. My amp has a cryo'd VD Audition going straight to the wall, but my transport, DAC and preamp all are hooked... | |
| best monitor speaker under $1k, new or used I'll nominate my ProAc Tablette 50 Signatures! | |
