| DH Labs Q10 Great timing on this. I'm considering trying these as I am looking for a low capactance/low inductance cable for my CLSes. I plan on moving my AQ Midnights to subs and getting something more detailed for my mains.How do you think Q10 compares to a... | |
| silver vs copper ICs Huge difference in my recent experience, Kadlec. This week I placed Audioquest Diamond between my DAC and pre-amp. This difference was *significant* and immediate. Much more detail, more open and a deeper soundstage. On the downside, it is thinner... | |
| Speaker Stands For Subs Thanks for the responses guys. I'll get cracking on this. | |
| Best Cables For Subs Thanks, Trelja. Maybe moving my Midnights to the subs is the most cost effective way for me to go. I'm thinking about trying the Zu's based on positive feedback and Sean Casey's reputation. Whether it's the Zu's or something else, this is a "cheap... | |
| How big is too big? Hi Tireguy. I'm 12' feet away from a 55" and it's just fine. "How big is too big"? Open ended question. Like "Sweet Dick Willie" said in "Do The Right Thing"... "it's never too hot to #%&*". And, there's no such thing as "too big" when it come... | |
| Best Cables For Subs Thanks, Elgordo. Your opinion is very consistent with what a near-local dealer told me. He had a customer who asked "how do you think this stuff will work as speaker cable?". Turned out that it was pretty bad *except* for the bass, which was repor... | |
| ZuCable any Opinions Thanks for the first hand experiences. Very informative. I'm tempted to try the Julian's between my Baron and CLSes and move my AQ Midnight's to the subs.And, Justy, how about NOT posting here? There was no "advertising" going on. | |
| Threshold T200 sound quality? It's no Levinson, but it *is* a damn fine amp. If you don't buy it please email me the details off-line. I'm in the market for something to drive my new subs. Best of luck. | |
| Burn In = Voodoo? Hi Sean & Detlof... would you please give us more info regarding "disc cutters". Thanks, Jim. | |
| Apogee s versus a haircut Despite their vintage status, Calipers are still very capable speakers. However, they need lots more juice and air to strut their stuff. My old Stages were best approximately 60" from the wall with ample space between the speakers and the side wal... | |
| USED D/A - worth the effort? Interesting question. Not only for you, but also for those of us that have higher quality DAC's with mileage on them. I wonder what something like the PT1/3 combination sounds like in comparison to high end DAC's that are 5+ years old. Also, does ... | |
| Burn In = Voodoo? There are quite a few things in audio that make a difference despite the fact that thay may not jibe scientific theory or cannot be quantified. Upsampling seems to be the hot new debate along these lines.Burn in definitely falls into this category... | |
| Where can you buy REL sub woofers? Thx P.S. GNP in Pasadena is also a REL dealer. | |
| Where can you buy REL sub woofers? Thx I think Ambrosia has a deal on a demo Strata II right now. I can;t recall the exact price, but it struck me as being a bit of a deal if memory serves me. Good luck. | |
| Marantz SA-1 SACD player....worth it ? Nordostman, my sentiments exactly. There is no reason why the development and declining costs (relative to quality) of SACD will not parrallel that of CD -- *if and when* the format takes off. There are just not enough titles out there today to ge... |
