| which integrated?... I finally heard the Unison Research Unico at this past CES and it sounded very nice matched with Triangle Zays[?] speakers. The combo was very lively but a bit thin, but that have been due more to the Triangles than the Unico. You might also consi... | |
| Shotgun Biwire-Definition please Shotgun biwiring utilizes four separate cables runs for each speaker. I used this configuration in two different speaker cable brands for a couple years. Now I have a new brand which utilizes standard internal biwiring so I only have a single fat ... | |
| Best sounding 6SN7 VT231 for amplifier input After trying out various WWII era Sylvania, RCA, and clear glass Ken-Rad VT-231s, I finally plugged in a newly acquired matched pair of black glass Ken-Rads and they have literally transformed my system.They don't have the same top end extension a... | |
| Jazz suggestions please I love Tom Jobim, Oscar Peterson, John Coltrane, and Dave Brubeck, but I just can't get into Miles' Kinda Blue. | |
| Thanks, Audiogon, for the friendships you made I've met so many great people here as well. It's always a pleasant surprise when someone takes the time to write me an extensive explanation for a simple, unsolicited question I asked them. Audio people are very generous with their knowledge, and ... | |
| Newbie needs cabling HELP. Nice system, especially for being your first.I've owned Analysis Plus Oval 9 and liked them, they sound very full and forgiving to me. However it seems they are very system dependent, so results and opinions can vary quite dramatically. I've never... | |
| Best of both worlds? Nrenter, I too have been using an X-30 with a Bryston 4B amp and NHT SW3P passive sub and I'm quite happy with this arrangement. I have not tried the high pass section of the X-30, and as I suspected from the other posts here that it compromises t... | |
| Amp/Int. Amp to smooth the highs... Thanks Duke, I'll do some experimenting. | |
| Speaker Break In- my experience Good story, Holzhauer. How do your wife and daughter think they sound now? | |
| Compatability of NHT 5.1 HT system & Denon 5803 I friend of mine has been running an AV5700 with NHT SuperOnes and SuperZeros in 5.1 mode for a few years.Depending on the DVD player you're using I would caution you to get a digital coax interconnect with a fuller, warmer balance than a thin, br... | |
| Amp/Int. Amp to smooth the highs... Duke, your suggestion is very interesting to me, maybe something I'd like to try. Will wiring a 16-ohm, 25-watt resistor across the high frequency inputs result in the amp seeing a higher impedance for the tweeter? | |
| Pre- and Amp for Triangle speakers???? With my limited experience I would agree with the suggestion of matching Triangle speakers with "softer" sounding amps.At the last CES show I heard the Zays and the Celius powereed by a Unison Research Unico hybrid integrated and an Audio Analogue... | |
| Spendor 3/5 SE special edition Yes, I was able to directly compare them at this past CES in the Spendor room being powered by gear from Talk Electronics.The regular 3/5 is mellow and musical, more on the dark side. The 3/5 SE on the otherhand is livelier and has a more extended... | |
| XRCDs WOW I first found out about these JVC XRCDs two years ago when Chet Atkins In Hollywood was finally released on CD. The people at JVC were very helpful when I asked them why this CD didn't soind like the same recording session as the LP my father owns... | |
| XRCDs WOW Yeah, I love those JVC XRCD2s too. Pretty darn amazing. Recently, I purchased a Pioneer DV45 and some SACDs that duplicate some of my XRCDs, so that will be an interesting and fun comparison. |
