| Apple vs PC for Music System I forgot to add that if you have the iPhone or the iPod Touch, you can download the "Remote" application onto the iPhone or iTouch and control the Apple TV remotely via WiFi. So you only need a tv monitor for initial set up and for updates. The "R... | |
| Apple vs PC for Music System I was in the process of selling all my digital gear and focus only on analog playback. I only had my Benchamark DAC1 left when I decided to try hooking up the DAC1 to the Apple TV. I have to say that I was impressed at the potential that the Apple... | |
| Cary 500 mono blocks I also have the Maggies 3.6R and I'm having excellent results with two Spectron Musician III SE in mono-block configuration. I started with one amp and after a couple of months added the second one. A single amp will certainly provide enough juice... | |
| class d At HE2007, I listened to two systems with Bel Canto REF1000 and S300 amps. The sound from both of these systems was a bit grainy on top. There was enough bottom slam, but it wasn't as clean and tight as some other tube and ss amps at the show. The... | |
| Preamps with two pairs of balanced outs? BAT REX and BAT 52 SE have two sets of balanced outputs. Promitheus Audio Reference C-core TVC can be ordered with two sets of balanced outputs. | |
| Eichmann Bayonet plugs user experience I used the Eichmann Bayonet Silver plugs for several months and I never had a problem with it. After using them for that long, they looked as good as the first day I got them.They are really great. It's amazing that those little things can provide... | |
| Von Schweikert 4SR...bi-wire or Remote Sense? I had my Maggies 3.6 bi-wired with Nordost Red Dawn Rev II prior to getting the Remote Sense. The Remote Sense brings much more clarity and control to the sound. This cable sounds as if there is no cable between the amp and the speakers. The Music... | |
| Spectron Musician 3 First Impressions? I understand the V-cap is a 600 hr break in and some may jump to conclusions.I agree, I have read similar break in time for V-caps. I think they stated at the Tempo Electric shootout that the V-caps had the longest recommended break in time (400hr... | |
| Spectron Musician 3 First Impressions? I find all this cap discourse quite fascinating. Some say V-caps are the greatest thing. some say the opposite. I think it may come down to component matching and personal preference.One case that highlights this is Srajan Ebaen's Supratek Caberne... | |
| Spectron Musician 3 First Impressions? I came across this interesting capacitor shootout:http://www.tempoelectric.com/caps.htmV-cap was named 'best in class'. With the popularity of V-caps, it seems that it will be a popular upgrade for Spectron amps. When I send my amps for the MK II ... | |
| Living Voice Mystic Mat Platter Upgrade Is that $329 USD? It's listed for $450 with the Mitchell clamp at Acoustic Sounds. | |
| Spectron Musician III SE Mk.2? What Changed? Audvidsvs,What kind of connectors are you using? I've compared the regular connectors to Eichmann banana plugs. The Eichmann connectors were simply superior IMHO. | |
| Spectron Musician 3 First Impressions? Oofer,Great post. I have the MK2 in my upgrade queue, after I get the Stereovox LSP-600C speaker cables in a couple of weeks. These amps react very well with the best equipment out there. | |
| Spectron Musician III SE Mk.2? What Changed? I used the Remote Sense cable when I had a single M III SE. It is a great cable. It's comparable with cables costing a lot more. There is simply more control (which is what this cable is supposed to do) and there is more detail and nuance with thi... | |
| Furutech / Air Tight LP Flattener - do they work? I have also flirted with the idea of getting a record flattener. Upon trying various clamps, I realized that the Basis Audio reflex clamp will simply flatten any dished record if you use an O-ring that has a larger cross-section. According to my m... |
