| DVD player for Response OneSC RCA 5223P DVD Player. I use an Audiolab 8000A with a Cardas Golden Power Cord on it and Elipson 1313 (French) Speakers. This RCA player is last years model (if you can find it new, it'll probably be discounted, possibly into the $200 range) and I ... | |
| Auric Illuminator Kit I've been using the Illuminator for a couple of weeks now and would highly recommend it. I won't play a disc without treating it, and on many discs improvements are dramatic. My system is certainly not high end, but it's pretty decent and I have f... | |
| Budget CD Player This may get a lot of laughs but is absolutely true. In the past two weeks I did a very serious sound comparison of my RCA 5223P DVD ($349 list but probably available heavily discounted) player with my Arcam Alpha 8SE ($1000 list). I've had the DV... | |
| Do Silver Cables Hurt Bass? Recently upgraded to Silver Audio Silver Bullet 6.0's, and I can assure you that the bass was not compromised in the least; in fact bass response (as well as everything else) improved in a major way-fuller, deeper, & more extended. The Pure Si... | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green A little elaboration on my Melvin Taylor post above. Used to spend a bit of time in Chicago before my kids were born and have been fortunate enough to see live: Buddy Guy, Albert Collins, Luther Allison and some other big names. Have heard just ab... | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green Try listening to Melvin Taylor (newest CD out on Evidence Records "Bang that Bell") | |
| Power cords at ridiculous prices? I have what I consider to be a pretty modest system (Audiolab 8000A, Arcam Alpha 8SE CD, Michell Gyro with Premier FT3 and Ortofon MC 20 Super, Elipson 1313 Speakers) much of which I acquired 2nd hand at reasonable prices. My system doesn't warran... | |
| Best integrated with pre/main out/$650 Go to the Artech Electronics web site; if they have any left they are clearing out Audiolab 8000A's at $449 and 8000S's (MSRP about $1100) at $549. I use a 12 year old 8000A with a Cardas Golden Power cord (purchased the 8000 used and payed almost... | |
| ++power cords with power conditioners? In my experience with an Innouye Line Conditioner (which I use with a Michell Gyro turntable, there are definite sonic differences with the turntable which can be heard when the power cord is changed on the conditioner. My experience is with fairl... | |
| Gyro SE, Bagwell, please see this A2z: I have an older Gyro, which I have been very happy with. Before Michell came out with the dedicated power supply, a manufacturer of line conditioners in Canada designed a conditioner for use with the Gyro. I am currently using an Innouye cond... | |
| Wilson Benesch ACT 1:component help Here's a cheap upgrade combo that will do wonders for you. If your Alpha 8 CD is not an "SE" run and upgrade it to SE for about $150 US. I did this about 5 months ago and was amazed at the difference. Then again, going to the 9 will probably be fa... | |
| SONIC QUALITIES OF A GOOD POWER CORD David: My system is definitely not Stereophile Class A (maybe class C) but is definitely capable of revealing power cord differences. I am what I like to call a budget audiophile and have tried to build a reasonable system over the past 15 years w... | |
| Best power cord for amp?? Chucky: I use a Cardas Golden Power Cord (which I purchased thru Audiogon from a dealer in New Jersey-mint demo-he gave me a great price-same as or less than used Goldens) which I use on my integrated amp (all these posters are super high-end guys... | |
| Comments on Harmonic Tech.PRO-AC 11 David: I would definitely concur with Brent. I don't have experience with Harmonic Tech. cord, but was using original MIT cords and have listened to the XLO cords. I took a chance and bought 2 Edge Power Cords, and let me tell you they are excelle... |
