| Need help choosing a monitor Hi 84audio, I own the Bel Canto DAC 1.1, and also once owned a Simaudio Moon I-5. These two components were coupled together for about 6 months. During that time I also had both Sonus Faber Concertinos and ProAc Tablette 50 Signatures.Personally, ... | |
| Help me find this sound KP, sounds to me like you're on the right track. I own the Bel Canto DAC 1.1 and love it, but from your query I think the EVS Millenium DAC II or Kora Hermes may be the better route for you. The Bel Canto DAC 1.1 is more dynamic, but less warm tha... | |
| Component with most effect on soundstage/imaging? Hi Eric, how have you been?Actually, I've had two instances when cables did make a difference. First, was when I swapped out a pair of biwired DH Labs Silversonic T14s for a biwired pair of Analysis Plus Oval 9s. The APs were much fuller and more ... | |
| Best female vocals on CD I am absolutely in love with Jacintha! JVC's releases of her albums "Autumn Leaves" and "Here's to Ben" on XRCD2 are stunningly gorgeous. The only other singer that comes close to capturing my heart is Diana Krall. | |
| Tubes plus SS After owning the Electrocompaniet ECI-3 amd Simaudio Moon I-5 solid state integrateds, I have found true happiness with the BC21 tube preamp and BC22 solid state amp from Blue Circle. Being that the BC22 is rated at 120wpc versus the 70wpc for the... | |

| what happened to power cord review Buck, it makes me wonder what improvements Rick's more expensive cables and cords might yield. Hmmm. | |
| what happened to power cord review That's great Killerpiglet! Instantly? Wow. Actually, I didn't like the Virtual Dynamics when I first installed them. They were rough and congested. But after burning them in for a couple weeks I was completely floored. The same improvements you no... | |
| Best tiny speakers up to 1000 ? Good point about the sub Marakanetz. Was it difficult to run the wire through the walls? | |
| Best tiny speakers up to 1000 ? Given your kitchen specs, I think Sc53's recommendation of the Acoustic Energy sub/sat system could be the winner. Very small and, well reviewed to boot. If that makes any difference. | |
| What would you use ? I agree with Soix. I use Cardas' Lightning L15 digital cable and Golden Cross interconnect, and they are warm without losing a lot of detail. And I also have an 8 foot biwire run of Analysis Plus Oval 9 speaker cables that I don't ever foresee rep... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers Krazeeyk. Here's my story in a nutshell.Two years ago I decided to buy my first high end piece of gear because my home theater wasn't cutting it musically. I went to a local shop and bought a pair of Sonus Faber Concertinos thinking they would tra... | |
| Best tiny speakers up to 1000 ? Wow, that's a tiny maximum size. I can definitely relate to building a system in a small space. I started with SuperZeros as mains many years ago. They're now my surrounds in a home theater system. For music I am using ProAc Tablette 50 Signatures... | |
| what happened to power cord review I've been using Virtual Dynamics Power 2 cords for two weeks now, and greatly prefer them over the Absolute Power Cords. To be honest, I never heard much of a difference between the Absolute PCs and stock cords, but the VDs have really opened up t... | |
| Anyone familar with Electrocompaniet Amps/Pre Amps Congratulations on your Electrocompaniet purchase. They make outstanding products. In my limited experience, this is the closest to tube sound I've heard from solid state. I used to own their ECI-3 integrated. I also owned Simaudio's Moon I-5 at t... |
