New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening" @rlb61 It's great when you can get really involved with your system. Enjoy! | |
New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening" Great to hear. But how long did you put up with B & W Speakers? No surprises as B & W Speakers are the most "uninvolving" Speakers I've had the misfortune to hear. | |
System Audio Ranger Masters Thanks, @kdude66 . I've put a deposit down and will pick them up in 3 weeks or so. Also reading up on them they are wired internally with Nordost Cable. | |
Top 5 Tonearms Newer or Vintage Under 2500 That Will Beat anything above/below 2.5k? Have heard The Wand on Accoustic Signature Challenger Mk3 vs. Well Tempered Versalex LTD, same cart. The Well Tempered was about 5,000,000,000 times better. | |

Plugging ports in revel studio 2s I have Studio 1's and have never had any need to do this. It would be better to get your room, ancillory equipment, Cables etc. right, as I believe 1's & 2's are reasonably sumiliar soundwise. | |
System Audio Ranger Masters Looks like they might be discontinued as I'm getting them less than half RRP (I'm in Australia). Pretty impressed, I heard a few other Speakers at more than there RRP and preferred these. 5 year warranty and beautiful black gloss finish. Also thes... | |
Tube Preamps..... http://www.vincent-tac.de/en/product-types/preamplifiers/sa-t7.html | |
What does moving from a 150 watt amp to a 400 watt amp get you? I have Revel Ultima Studio 1's and have half a dozen Power Amps. They are not a difficult load, but the more high quality Watts/Current you put into them the better they sound. I've ran them with Amps 150 W. up, they just seem to lap up more high... | |
Rotel RA-1592 vs Paraound Halo or better (anyone heard both?) http://www.vincent-tac.de/en/product-lines/tubeline/sv-237mk.htmlhttp://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=VISV237MK | |
Morrow IC's http://morrowaudio.com/Just a heads up, Morrow's heavily discounted. Although personally feel this is more realistic pricing, compared to their heavily inflated, ridiculous RRP's. I would only recommend Morrow's with these discounts, and only in s... | |
Balanced cables @atmasphere Thank you for taking the time. I must also add I have tried the ground cable from T/T on Pre-Amp, when using standalone Phono. So if Cheater Plug works what is the procedure then?Thanks. | |
speaker cable prices Second Cullen. Excellent Speaker Cables for the money. | |
Balanced cables Balanced and single-ended (RCA) operations are inherently incompatible. So if RCAs are used its not balanced, and if the XLR outputs are used (and the preamp is properly balanced) then the use of the RCA connections will result in a buzz. IOW ... | |
The ups and downs of tube vs. SS... @schubert Thanks for the reply which reinforces even more that there is no size fits all in the debate. The SP-T700's sound superb with rockier material, especially Americana, Alejandro Escovedo, Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle etc. No doubt ancillo... |
