| McIntosh cable for XRT28 & 1201 amp Take a look at the LAT International line, and at my review of their speaker cable SS 1000 MkII here in the review archives. I found my way to LAT on recommendation of ljgj, who is a fellow McIntosh-user as well. LAT is great, especially if you do... | |
| ExactPower EP15A Babybear,I decided to let my better PC/s (PS Audio Statement and Shunyata Black Mamba) work with my amps and front-end, and usemy Shunyata Sidewinder and a HMS PC with the EP-units. I did not really compare different settings, because I found that... | |
| ExactPower EP15A "And yes, all the front end stuff performed even better with balanced power: blacker background on digital and almost imperceptable noise and hum on phono."Exactly my experience as well. Robert Stein from the Cable company, who sold me my Exact Po... | |
| Review: LAT International SS 1000 Mk II Speaker cable Ozzy,as you apparently do not realize: the equipment I own is state-oft-the-art at every step. I stand by every word I wrote, and have given plenty of comparisons in the review. In addition, LAT is not kidding anyone, as you can easily see when yo... | |
| Is the Eichmann Bayonet Plug the best banana plug? Go over to the review section for my LAT International review. I described the effects of changing a ordinary plug for the Eichmann there | |
| Audionet ART V.2 In fact, the Art V2 can be ordered as a transport only. That´s what I did, for using it with a Chord DAC-64. As a transport, it´s outstanding. | |
| thinking about replacing my Shahinian Arcs with... As a fellow Shahinian owner of both Obelisks and Diapasons, let me tell you that Shahinian sure does not make the world´s only speakers worthy of listening to. But once you have get used to their omni-/semidirectional acoustical presentation, you ... | |
| Review: Ridge Street Audio Poiema Signiture Interconnect Well Robert, I do not want to downgrade your cables. They are fine cables, and indeed we had a lengthy e-mail-exchange about a whole set of cables. The set being expensive, and me willing to take a try first, I took the chance of buying one used P... | |
| Review: Ridge Street Audio Poiema Signiture Interconnect About a year ago, I asked around what might be an upgrade to my all-system LAT International cable line. A few people recommended to try Pure Note or Ridge Street Audio`s Poiema!. I bought one RSA-Poiema!-Interconnect here on audiogon. When I put ... | |

| McIntosh MC402 I just tried to run a Benchmark DAC-1 I bought for a friend to run into my MC402. It worked fine, actually. The Benchmark´s output level can be adjusted, in fact, by switching internal jumpers. I listen to vinyl, too, and I only had the Benchmark ... | |
| Omnidirectional speakers for home theater? No slouch, I use them as front speakers only, but have tried two pairs as front and rear speakers (Diapasons in the front, Obelisks as rear). With omnis - or at least with the Shahinians - you do not really need a center speaker. At least I never ... | |
| Omnidirectional speakers for home theater? I use my Shahinian Obelisks for HT, and it works alright, in fact easier than with conventional speakers, as omnis spread a wider soundfield, and allow more listeners to sit in a realistic soundfield, rather than in a tight sweetspot. | |
| Schroeder arms: order of merit? Another arm German afficionados have favorably compared to the Schroeder is the Scheu Tacco, which is considerably cheaper. See scheu-analog.de, there is an English version and contact, too. | |
| Radio interference on my phono stage May I add a question for the solution of a similiar problem. I run a Scheu Premier (Eurolab) TT in to a McIntosh C200 preamp. I use both an Ortofon Venice MC and a Cartridge Man Music Maker III into the MM-input of the Mac. Woth the Ortofon, no pr... |
