| Any cables that give more bass Many self-powered subwoofers connect via the main speakers connections or via the amplifiers output terminals so having a sub output on the amp is irrelevant.This is fine, but I would NEVER use a signal coming off a subwoofer that would ultimately... | |
| Vinyl sounds a bit thin and slightly strident. One thing to do right away is get rid of those ARC supplied EH tubes. These are almost as horrible as the Sovtek. You will not believe how significant Telefunken, Mullard, Amperex, etc., 6922/6DJ8 tubes would make on the LS7. The midrange textures... | |
| Any cables that give more bass I would also look at a solution other than playing with cables.The KEF 203 is rated down to 55hz. I would run a sub no higher than 60hz or so. The natural rolloff of the KEF's would make it unnecessary to insert a highpass filter before the amp to... | |
| Counterpoint DA-11 - Genesis Dig. Lens - DA-10 Dac Dave is right on here. I owned many DACs [DA-10, ARC DAC3, Electrocompaniet ECD1, Classe DAC1, VTL Ref, Manley Ref (still own this)]in the last 10 years and the one that I sold and regret more than anything else is the DA-10. It truly is that good... | |
| looking for interconnect under 200 dollars what does someone do with all of the opinions/recommendations ?....Suggestions provide for a good starting point as to what products to be on the lookout for audition. The more suggestions that I see for a given product, the higher that product re... | |
| looking for interconnect under 200 dollars Anyone who tells you that cables will magically transform your system is smoking crack.I think of it from a different perspective. It is not so much that a cable can magically transform a system but rather that so many cables out there can instant... | |
| Best Blu Ray video and for 2 channel transport? Keep your eyes out for the Pioneer Elite BDP series blu-ray players. I have the 94 and it works incredibly well as a transport (SPDIF RCA) into my tube DAC as well as toslink into the preamp/processor and HDMI into the TV. The 94 and 95 tend to go... | |
| most important? This topic has been covered here many times. The Linn/Naim camp and many others swear that you MUST always put your "best" anything as close to the front of the chain as possible. But it's just not that simple with electronics nor with cables. One... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Wow, John......what a heck of a report. Much value here. Thanks. | |
| ARC LS5 mk3 or BAT VK-31 SE Bill,The BAT presentation is very different than that of the ARC. It's not all about refinements of tonal coherency, stronger frequency extremes, resolution, but more so about whether you like the presentation much more projected out into the room... | |
| 12AT7 tube Do some research on the 6201 family as well. | |
| ARC LS5 mk3 or BAT VK-31 SE Billandsol:I heard both in two systems: my own and at a dealer. Here are some links to A'gon threads I contributed to in the past.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1167535881&read&keyw&zzls5http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi... | |
| Can a Receiver do the work of 3 Adcom Products?? A used Denon 5800 would tear up your Adcom separates. I have seen this Denon sell on A'gon for $800 and bought one as a gift. I could not believe the sonic performance! As an owner of old Adcom separates, I know they are not even close to this Den... | |
| Which tube preamp meets all these needs? HT bypass can mean different things. If all you are concerned with is "unity gain" that is fine. But in this mode does the input get hard wired directly to the output or does it go through active circuitry first? | |
| Which tube preamp meets all these needs? #5 reduces the list dramatically. However, the BAT VK5 series may come very close to your criteria. But I am not sure it has a HT bypass. And unfortunately finding a tube preamp (with HT bypass) that does not need to be powered on is really tough. |
