| Navision Audio Maybe they don't understand English at the factory. Does Navision have an American importer? You may want to try them, or whatever importer works in your region. | |
| What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam? I'm a bit confused by which way you want to go. Clarity will go well with bass definition. However, bass slam and bass definition are opposite extremes from all the cords I've heard. I've heard the PAD Dominus cord that Lloydelee21 recommends and ... | |
| Fast power cables? Fastest I've heard would be the Nordost Valhalla or Brahma. Also fast would be Stealth Dream or Ridge Street Audio Design silver cords. I have the Poeima!!! Signature, but the Alethias! silver is also very fast.The best cord I've ever used would b... | |
| Soliloquy 6.5 speaker I have a pair of 6.3i's and they are great speakers. It is my understanding that Phil Jones had the drivers custom manufactured to his design specs, as Jmbatkh mentions. If you do replace the drivers, chances are that changes will also be required... | |
| Rumors about a new Ayre integrated amplifier? I'll start one. I heard that Ayre is coming out with a new $10K integrated amp....and it's a tube unit!!! | |
| Waiting for Paypal I have a seperate bank account set up just for Paypal, as soon as the funds clear from Paypal into my Paypal account, I transfer them to another account. That way I can take Paypal, but still protect myself. | |
| Counterpoint - Alta Vista - Mike Elliott According to this blog it sounds as if Mike's technical help had health problems, not Mike himself. It reads like Mike just doesn't want to be bothered training another tech at this point in his life. | |
| Any VAC CPA-1 preamp owners here? Rick, I see that you are now selling this preamp. I find it interesting that after all this research and upgrades from VAC, that you only listened to the preamp for a week. It's been in storage for almost 3 years???Am I to assume that you did not ... | |
| Speaker cables of cooper, or silver :Pros/Cons In general, because there is no hard and fast rule as design implementation also comes into play, copper will sound warmer and richer and silver will sound more revealing and transparent. Gold is also warm, like copper, but captures a bit more har... | |
| why use towers if you've got a sub?? Subs are for HT, I use my towers for music. | |
| "ANTI-CABLE" SPEAKER CABLE vs Audio Arts SC5? I tried anti-cables, while I thought they were fairly good value, I found they could be beaten without spending too much more money. I sent mine back, but never received a refund. | |
| Your best 2-channel system for 6000$ total It will be interesting to see how you make out. I recently finished re-making my system, which now falls somewhat in your ballpark. Speakers, amp and preamp cost $2900 used.Soliloquy 6.3i speakersCoda Model 11 amplifierVAC Auricle preamp w/ phonoW... | |
| Wrao a toroidal transformer around power cord? That is news to me. I can't see the benefit here, but I'm sure some may. | |
| Diversity of opinion over what But Steve, you did say the sound with the MF A308 was "hard, cold" which I take for detailed and analytical, when paired with your JM Labs speakers. I'm sure that tubes can tame the JM Labs speakers, but that doesn't mean the MF A308 is any guilti... | |
| Recommendation for Tube Preamp around $1000 I picked up a used VAC Auricle preamp, with a built in phono stage, for $1100 with upgraded tubes. It sounds much better than it has any right to at that price. Needless to say, I'm very happy. |
