| Has anyone recently had any slow response with Sound-Smith repairs Thanks Brad, Andy is the one I was thinking of. | |
| Power Cables What do you mean by a very full, wide and deep soundstage? I have heard of a wide and deep soundstage. Are you talking about a full sound (Rich, vibrant, musical, etc.)?If so, your list confuses me. As normally extended highs and tight bass go tog... | |
| Power Cables You didn't mention any budget constraints, so I will go ahead and recommend that you try a High Fidelity Professional Series power cord. ;^) | |
| Power Cord Length I will take a stab and say that it is Shunyata, as I believe I've read something previously quoted by Caelin Gabriel about this topic of power cord length. I also seem to recall Purist Audio making similar claim years ago regarding speaker cables.... | |
| Recommendations for XLR interconnect cables on a BAT system Many companies put XLR inputs/outputs on their equipment for advertising/bragging, but are not differentially balanced. Balanced Audio Technology (BAT), which the OP is using, offers fully differential designs. | |
| Recommendations for XLR interconnect cables on a BAT system Personally, I would think that you could use a touch of silver. I've heard your ProAc speakers, and I've owned 9 pieces of BAT gear. While very nice, they both can be a touch on the warm side. Your Cardas speaker cables are also a bit warm. From m... | |
| Amp choices Nice speakers, they probably do deserve a better amp. The Aragon is a solid performer, and I would think it better than the A21, but I think both amps are mid-fi. For a real improvement, you would be better off trying a high end amp from the likes... | |
| VAC 160iSE integrated with NOLA speakers Interesting, maybe I should clean my contacts. The only thing I did was to add Stabilant 22 contact enhancer to my contacts, which seemed to help a little bit. The Stabilant 22 was a recommendation from Rick Schultz, of High Fidelity cables. | |
| What happened to the "club atmosphere" of Audiogon? It is a shame what happened to this site. I agree that things have changed since Audiogon has gone corporate. Alas, there is no going back, it is the end of the innocence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HP49136ekfcAlthough the traffic is lighter,... | |
| VAC 160iSE integrated with NOLA speakers As an update from me, I have upgraded to the 160iSE from the 160i. The most noticeable difference for me was the black background. The 160i sounded like a tube amp, with some tube noise residue, the 160iSE is dead silent. The midrange is very simi... | |
| Has anyone recently had any slow response with Sound-Smith repairs Who else offers service on repairing/rebuilding cartridges?I am considering having an Ortofon cartridge checked, and I was thinking about using Soundsmith, but if they are overloaded, I am willing to try other service providers. I recall reading a... | |
| How a VPI Classic Turntable is made - BrandmadeTV Kool link! Thanks Mofi!! | |
| List of artists died in the plane crash alphabet: Thanks, just the thread I want to read about in the middle of a 11 day business trip to Europe in which I have 2 flights down and 4 more to go until I return home. | |
| An alternative view on system balance - what to spend where Currently, my system is constructed similar to yours, with around 50 percent of the budget in the tweak category. That said, there is no answer to your final question of how much should be spent. There's many paths to audio nirvana. Just as no one... |
