| NEED AUDIOQUEST TYPE 8 OR CV-8, PLEASE HELP. If you are willing to pay for new cables, try Audio Advisor. They seem to have inventory:http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=AQT8NFOr have I misunderstood your question? | |
| Got Ears? Of course its all mental. My aural acuity has not improved -- probably deteriorated a bit with age.I didn't want to get too immersed in my audio perceptions. I feared that I would lose track of enjoying the music thinking about the sound all the t... | |
| Weakest Link? Your honest opinions. I would replace the speakers. Surely you will hear the difference.And better speakers will help you appreciate the difference when you upgrade the amp later. (Versus -- you might not hear a real difference replacing the amp first.) | |
| shipping boxes for heavy electronics Perhaps you could buy a box from Parasound. If you contacted their service department, maybe they have boxes that they sell to people who want to ship their amps in for service. | |
| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? In recent years (since this thread was started more than 10 years ago!), I have become a big fan of Chris Botti. I have attended a number of his performances (at McCarter Theatre in Princeton as well as the Blue Note after Christmas), and I have t... | |
| What do you mean by "better" when it comes to cabl As the first post stated, "better" is a subjective term.My feeling is that a cable should not change the signal in any way. With that, the implication is that lesser cable has some impact on the signal and that "better" cable has less impact.I too... | |
| Revel Utopia speaker delamination Oy! And should I assume the redesigned driver will sound different from the original driver still in the other speaker of your Utopia Gem stereo pair? | |
| Your most played songs I have a lot of "favorite" songs, but one that I find myself returning to year after year is Charles Earland's "More Today than Yesterday." | |
| How do you amp your system? Sounds like a plan.As you say, there's no right answer.I can only add that you may find yourself on an upgrade spiral that could involve buying and selling a lot of equipment. In the past I have found myself to be better off just jumping over a co... | |
| How do you amp your system? Well, if your 2 channel amp doesn't give you enough and you are OK with biamping the Kappas, then perhaps adding another 2 channel amp and using it along with the old 2 channel amp in a biamp set up should get more volume out of your mains.The Yam... | |
| How do you amp your system? In my experience, the 4 surrounds+rears won't require a whole lot of power, while the two front mains will need the most support. And for some recordings/movies the front center channel does a lot of the work. (I believe your ULS15 sub has a built... | |
| How do you amp your system? Far from "prevailing wisdom," my 7 channel system evolved from my 2 channel stereo.I started with 2 speakers driven by 2 monoblocks. Each speaker had its own subwoofer to fill out their low ends.When I added a screen, I routed the 2 front channel ... | |
| Sunfire Subwoofer question It might be worthwhile to call Sunfire factory service -- (800) 622-3526. They used to have flat rates for repairs, something like $400 a few years back.If they will give you a current flat rate over the phone, you might subtract that amount from ... | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? Here's a nice rendition by Simone Kopmajer of the classic "Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight." -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osVwo_BX6-8 | |
| McIntosh MC2155 mystery switches These are probably system test switches for the Power Guard circuit. The Power Guard circuit is supposed to prevent amplifier clipping by automatically turning down the input volume when it senses the amp approaching clipping volumes. There's some... |
