| Electrocompaniet EMC-1 Spare Parts I wanted to let people know that I had a very pleasant experience in dealing with the U.S. Distributor and Electrocompaniet. I did receive the spare part (which has been changed from a soft to hard plastic spindel) and both parties were extremely ... | |
| Looking for the right interconnect I've tried many interconnects (Nordost Quattro Fil, Acoustic Zen, and so forth) before but my favorite is Ric Cummins Jaden Interconnects. The Jaden is made of pure silver and is very musical, detailed, dynamic, and has very good tonal balance. I ... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC-1 Spare Parts Thank you for help, I truly appeciate all the feedback that I've gotten. For the record, Electrocompaniet and the U.S. Distributor were most helpful. I understand they are awaiting receipt for the new part and have generously offered to send me th... | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC-1 Spare Parts Thank you for your response. The US Distributor was nice enough to contact me but he does not have any plastic spindels available in stock. I'm sending an "SOS" and I'm asking if anyone else is selling the plastic spindel? Without this part, my EM... | |
| Review: Argent Room Lens - Ric Cummins Cables Speaker cable I wanted to post an update to my review. I tried Ric's speaker cables and interconnects in my friend's system (Maggies 3.6's speakers, BAT 51SE pre-amp, and BAT VK75SE amp). The results were quite amazing. Ric's cables fleshed-out the dynamics fro... | |
| Review: Argent Room Lens - Ric Cummins Cables Speaker cable Correction: I am using the MAC Delta 1 power cord with my David Berning ZH-270 amp and the David Elrod EPS-2s with my EMC-1 CDP. | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck I believe cables and components are equally important in order to maximize your system. In addition, good wall outlets help too. I have found that achieving good sound is not a numbers game. Inotherwords, the most expensive cables and components d... | |
| Recommended female vocalists? You might want to add Laura Nyro to the list (live 2-cd set - very well recorded). | |
| Do I need a new pre-amp? There is another alternative to consider. You can purchase an integrated amplifier with a volume control. I am currently using my EMC-1 with the David Berning ZH-270 amplifier with very satisfying results. | |
| Review: Rosinante Dulcinea Speaker Touche! I agree with you Randill. I too enjoy my Dulcinea speakers a lot. | |
| Great speaker/SET amplifier matches.... Beauhorn speaker with Art Audio PX-25 SET amplifier | |
| A good integrated amp for Silverline Sonatina II I would ad the David Berning ZH-270 amplifier to your list. In my opinion, this amplifier is very musical and has lots of drive and dynamics, more than enough power handling capability for the sensitivity of the Sonatina II. In addition, the ZH-27... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole 24/192 vs Gamut CD-1 A friend of mine who accompanied me at CES in January 2002 told me he liked the new Gamut cdp a lot. He did not make a comparison between the two but I know he is familiar with good digital players. He owns an Ayre and has heard many other good pl... | |
| Does using a powered subwoofer make better sound? Well said by Sugarbrie.........by the way, I am using the REL Storm III. | |
| Does using a powered subwoofer make better sound? Based on your situation, I believe a REL subwoofer would be a good fit (specifically, I'd look for a subwoofer with speed). The model that you will need would depend upon your room dimension. There are some trade-offs when using a subwoofer but it... |
