| Powerchord with the best tight bass ?? In my system, FIM Gold has the best tight bass. Shunyata King Cobra probably had the best BIG bass. However, the KC didn't work as well on amps as it did on front-end equipment. The FIM Gold works wonders on every piece of equipment in my system. ... | |
| Sony ES CD Player Cult--which sound best I used the XA7 for awhile, first as a CD player and then as a transport. It's a great transport for the money on the used market when placed on a good isolation platform! Built-in DAC is a little too cool and sterile for my taste though. Just MHO. | |
| Linear Tracking Turntables - Best?? Be sure to check out the Walker Proscenium (?). Awesome. Just MHO. | |
| Value of Futterman Amps Swampwalker- After having reread my post, it almost sounds as if I'm suggesting an insurance conspiracy! That was not my intent. I do feel that one function of the BB is to assist dealers and insurance companies in assuring that they not over pay ... | |
| Recommendations- Tuner/Preamp w/ pwrCkt John- Don't discount the sonics of the B&K tuner/pre/proc units. Obviously, you won't be using the HT processor in your application, but even the older AVP-1030, or newer Ref 10/20 units produce amazing stereo quality at the price (far better ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I listened to the Eidelon (incredible bass) and the SF Amati (beautiful workmanship and tonal balance), but ultimately purchased the Venture "La Perfection" which had the best overall musical balance and performance to my ear. Just one man's opinion. | |
| Value of Futterman Amps Lubachl- Just a reminder, the Blue Book is only to be used as a guide. It's intended to allow insurance companies to minimize the pay out due to loss. For the audio enthusiast, a product is valued more for what the market will bare. In the case of... | |
| Best West Los Angeles Audiophile Shops? In addition to the fine establishments previously noted, though not in W.L.A., I'd also recommend that you try a little trip out of the city and up the coast to Precision A/V in Moorpark. Mike has some great lines (Goldmund,Gryphon,Cary,Venture, e... | |
| I need help choosing interconnects/wires Richard- Checkout Coincident Speaker Technology cables, both IC and speaker cables. Very good and very affordable. Just MHO. Goodluck. | |
| Power Cable for a Single - Ended Amp Dill- I'm running a pair of the Cary 805c. The FIM Gold power cord bettered all of the others that I owned or auditioned including EGlide Fat Boy, Shunyata Cobra, Coincident,just to name a couple. The FIM is very stiff, but was obviously the best.... | |
| Coincident Cables Experiences? Any Good? Nothing much more to be said. The Coincident interconnects and speaker cable are excellent. There are a very few that have performed better in my system, but at MUCH higher prices. I would suggest that if your system can't perform well with the Co... | |
| Cable TV / Subwoofer HUMMMMMMM Checkout any store that specializes in HT installations. They'll have a "ground breaker" transformer which installs in-line with the cable coax. The local dealer sells them for about $15. If money isn't an issue, the Mondial unit is a little more ... | |
| Snake oil and tweaks that work! Hdm- You might want to think twice about that silicone dielectric grease! A couple of dealers were having problems with the sound of a vendor's (very expensive) power equipment changing over time, and not for the better. After investigating the po... | |
| Serious Power Problems with my HPA2 I would also check to see if the hot and neutral wires have been reversed at the outlet(s) or at the junction box, or that the ground wire is not properly grounded. European electronics typically have more stringent power safety regulations. If an... | |
| "warm " full rangespeakers ,II I'd recommend that you checkout the Coincident Speaker Technology Eclipse or Super Eclipse speakers. Easy load to drive, efficient and great sound for the money. Goodluck. |
