| Power Cord up to $100? Lots of debate on this. Some amps come with very good stock cords, many do not. Transparent and Pangea make some very good cords that can be had for under $100. Gene Rubin sells some great Naim power cords for $33.00 | |
| Jeff Rowland 2 or Classe 25 for Avalon Eclipse Just a reminder that the Classe Twenty Five and the Classe DR-25 are very different sounding amps. | |
| DALI EUPHONIA MS5 Driving Issue I am very happy with MS 5 and Pass X250.5 | |
| best? Sony 5400 or Cambridge 840c or 851C Thanks The 5400 and 840c seem to have quite variable and often extreme responses. The latest TAS reviewer certainly feels the 840c and 851c are quite different from each other. | |
| Best preamp 2k or under, new or used JRDG Capri | |
| Recommendation Speaker Cable around $1000-$2000 I own and very much like Clear Day Double Shotgun, but much prefer Transparent Audio Super MM2 in my main system. But if you want to spend less, the Clear Day and Mapleshade Double Golden Helix Plus are great values. | |
| Floorstanders 3K Aerial 7b, 8b, 10T | |
| Help me pick some speakers Vienna Bach Grand. Quad 21L 22L, Dali Ikon 6 | |
| Thoughts on interconnect vs. speaker cable length. I prefer IC to be 1 - 2 meters, speaker cable 8 feet. Lots of opinions on this, just don't assume that shorter is always better. | |
| Do stands make a difference for equipment? I have found that Mapleshade Maple Platforms have helped with every component, either with the Mapleshade on the floor for amp, or on shelf in stand for TT, CDP, and preamp. Love the brass footers too. | |
| Fisher 500-C M&K 1b Just connected my Teac iPod dock/DAC to the Fisher. Such fun and great sound! | |
| Solid state amp around 2000-2500 used or new All fine amps... | |
| Classè Six vs ARC LS7 I preferred my ARC LS15 to the Classe Six Mkll which it replaced , but I have always missed the phono section on the Classe. | |
| Adcom GFA 555 versus Rotel RMB 1095for stereo The Rotel RB-1090 was essentially a two channel version of your amp and sold for the same price. There are lots of good two channel amps you could essentially trade your Rotel for, just don't think the GFA 555 is one of them. | |
| Adcom GFA 555 versus Rotel RMB 1095for stereo I agree that the Adcom 565 mono blocks are also way better than the GFA 555 in question. |
