| Do Interconnects need to "warm up"? Oh Wolf you crack me up. I try to describe my system to some of my party guests and they look at me like I'm crazy. They are either bored or thinking why didn't I just buy something from Bose to keep it simple.I pretty much listen to the same kind... | |
| Class D amps,bang for your buck ones I'm one of those as well that has to have an amp or preamp look good in the rack as well. Of the Class D amps I've seen I like the look of the Red Dragon Audio M-500/M-1000s. The black versions of the W4S amps are a bit more pleasing to the eye.If... | |
| Do Interconnects need to "warm up"? I really don't think ICs need a warm up time but one thing I do when I know people are coming over to listen to music or watch a movie I'll have my system on an hour before playing music or I'll run an Isotek system refresher disk for that hour be... | |
| over packing items---overkill? I have an example of this from when I purchased a McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe from Goodwin's High-End. They used a wooden box with heavy padding on the inside. This box/crate was used for a more expensive amp but rather than have to look for another bo... | |
| Breaking in power cords Ok so I wasn't the only crazy one to think to use their fridge or other appliance to break in a power cord. Whew!I found these connectors on Amazon and thought any new Power cord I buy if I'm in need of breaking them in I can speed up the burn-in ... | |
| Class D amps,bang for your buck ones I'm surprised the Digital Amplifier Company doesn't get more press. I saw their amps for sale some time ago here but haven't heard much from them since here. Their amps seem pretty solid. The Toroid Transformers they have in there are huge.Cherry ... | |
| XLR 2 pairs RECOMMENDATION for my SYSTEM Hey MelancoI'm glad whatever little info I can provide is helping you on your quest. I tracked down the guy who also had the P-2200s in his system along with AZ cabling. Here is what he had.Acoustic Zen Silver Reference II XLR Cables from his play... | |
| XLR 2 pairs RECOMMENDATION for my SYSTEM Hey MelancoI met a Kavent owner who also had the P-2200 monoblocks and he had Acoustic Zen XLR cables with them along with AZ speaker wires. The very top tier stuff. The sound was AMAZING to me when I listened to his system. I wish I had the issue... | |
| Kavent S33 owners...are you out there? Hi WolfAfter reading your response above about hooking up my headphones to the balanced outputs of the S33 directly I had one of those what the hell was I thinking moments. The K701s aren't amplified and they would definitely need more than a sign... | |
| Mccormack DNA-1 describe the sound characteristics What Mapman states above I find is very true."Also tweeter height relative to ears usually matters. Does it sound better/worse/different if you listen sitting on the floor versus in a higher chair, for example?Are speakers positioned in a way that... | |
| Kavent S33 owners...are you out there? Good catch there Wolf. I honestly never noticed the writing of SA 93 on the S33's circuit board and I think I've seen that pic quite a bit from when I was looking for info about the S-33. I had also forgotten that there is a relationship between t... | |
| What song/composition sounds like another artist? My contribution to this would be Ray Parker Jr's Ghostbusters song and the VERY striking similarity it has to Huey Lewis' I Want a New Drug. I think they have battled this out in court multiple times. | |
| B&W at the Indy 500 As far as I can tell from the pics I've seen the sponsorship was Bowers & Wilkins and Magnolia. So I gues B&W working along with Best Buy is working out quite well for both parties.One car had Alex Tagliani who drove the #77 Bowers & W... | |
| Kavent S33 owners...are you out there? Hey WolfFrom looking through the A'gon archives there was a member in Jan of 2006 that listened to the S33.Here is part of what he said about it:"You might want to consider the S-33 preamp by Kavent.. It runs about $1199.00 new and sounds great fo... | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood Don't know if anyone else caught this but I saw the latest Chrysler 300 commercial featuring fashion designer John Varvatos. It starts off with him buying a record at a record store and in the end he plays the record and then there is a cut to a s... |
