| Virtual Dynamics PC3 Rick is nice guy isn't he? The Power 2s are about 7/8" in diameter and while I wouldn't say they bend easily, I did manage to get three of them plus the AZ Tsunami to fit behind a rack with only one foot clearance to the back wall. Lot's of snakin... | |
| XRCD vs. SACD anyone? As I own many CDs and have committed to this format for a long time, I too have been taken by JVCs XRCD offerings. I have six of them and prefer them over just about all the other mastering techniques from other companies who's CDs I own. I have n... | |
| Virtual Dynamics PC3 Hi Fleeceba. I'm happy to report that the Virtual Dynamics are working great in my system. I bought 3 of Rick's Power 2 cords and placed them on my transport, DAC and preamp. They've been in my setup and constantly on for over a week and a half, a... | |
| Integrated amp to Subwoofers Hi Smjason. I used to own Simaudio Moon I-5 and ran it with an NHT SW3P subwoofer. The NHT has only line level inputs, so I used the pre-outs on the back of the I-5 to feed the subwoofer amp. I had no impedance matching or gain problems at all bet... | |
| Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list Since my last post here I've fallen in love with and rediscovered a few more "To Die Fors". Last year JVC finally released an old favorite of mine - Chet Atkins' In Hollywood on XRCD2. This was made from the original 1957 master and it sounds just... | |
| Monitor speakers - choices to narrowed down to... I have a room similar in size to yours. I'm using ProAc Tablette 50 Signatures with a tube pre and SS amp like you, though mine are the Blue Circle BC21 and BC22. Those little ProAcs sound very big and very satisfying in my 12 x 13 room. Your 4B-S... | |
| Virtual Dynamics PC3 Hi, I might be able to help you in about two to three weeks. I just placed an order with Rick at Virtual Dynamics for three of his Power 2 cords. I was running all Absolute Power Cords and recently upgraded my Blue Circle BC22's cord to an Acousti... | |
| Stable Platter Transports Hi Michael. I've owned a Theta Pearl for about 8 months, and yes it does use the Stable Platter. I work with computers with CD ROM drives all day, so when I get home sometimes I hesitate a bit because I have to remember to put the CD into the Thet... | |
| Need help with cable mess Thanks friends for pitching in and helping a confused audiophile. I've decided to make sure my power conditioning is taken care of first, then I'll look into a cable swap. I've already found that one Acoustic Zen Tsunami cord has mellowed my BC21.... | |
| Need help with cable mess Soix, we're on the same wavelength. I'm planning to switch out the Golden Cross for the DH Labs Silver Pulse and see what changes are realized. Also, I've been long considering swapping the GC for the AZ Silver Reference. You're right about one ca... | |
| Need help with cable mess Sugarbrie, thanks for your response. What you're saying makes a lot of sense to me.A couple weeks ago I installed an Acoustic Zen Tsunami power cord on my BC22 and was very happy with it, so I decided to look into replacing all my Absolute Power C... | |
| Best Used Integated 1400 for B&W CDM1NT's I owned the Simaudio Moon I-5 for a little over a year. At times it was magic, but often I found it lean and a bit tizzy on the top end. This was the case even when running Sonus Faber Concertinos and ProAc Tablette 50 Signatures. The I-5 is quite... | |
| Best speakers for a small room? 10'X14' I've had very good luck with a pair of ProAc Tablette 50 Signatures in a 12 x 13 foot room. Running them with a subwoofer creates a very full sound. I have a lot of stuff in the room, and having a bathroom and a walk-in closet behind each speaker ... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Gunbunny, your post hits home with me. I own two custom made Tad Kohara pool cues. Two early 1980's custom Les De Asis Balisong knives. A Beretta 92 Border Marshall, a Springfield Armory 45, a Desert Eagle and a Benelli M1 Super 90. And I shoot LE... | |
| To turn off or not to turn off For the last two months I've owned the Blue Circle BC21 and BC22 preamp and amp combo. During this time I have always left both pieces continuously powered on. I can definitely notice a sonic benefit. However, I became concerned with safety, cost ... |
