| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? Wow - I'm a little embarassed about the Sony now. But like I've said before, I plan to replace it. When I do, I will need to replace the Alpha Snake IC's, and I will still want something good but not expensive (under $200/m, new or used). Any reco... | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? Thanks for all the advice. Here are some responses:--I definitely agree that I should relegate the Sony to DVD duty and buy myself an audiophile CD player, although I was hoping to avoid that. But, hey, when I have a little more time it should be ... | |
| Speaker cable gauge and amplifier power An example of what I had in mind was the way Naim used to design their amps for use with a specific gauge and length of wire. Not only did they sound their best with Naim speaker cable, the amps could supposedly become "unstable" with the wrong wi... | |
| Speaker cable gauge and amplifier power These are all interesting and enlightening responses. However, they have strayed a little from my original question. I was wondering about the interaction between amplifier and speaker cable. Does the output of an amplifier change based on the siz... | |
| Speaker cable gauge and amplifier power Thanks for those responses. Jeffreybehr, in particular, addressed my question helpfully.I certainly agree that the best way to pick a cable is to audition it in your system. I just thought I might be able to limit the number of choices based on th... | |
| Monitors or floor-standers with Bryston B60SST? It seems like this question is more about the Bryston amp than the speakers. With the permission of the moderator, I would like to end this thread and start a new one in the amps forum. Thanks to all who responded. | |
| Monitors or floor-standers with Bryston B60SST? Let me focus the question a little. Is the B60 capable of handling the Spendor S5e (which Spendor describes as 2.5 way)?Can the B60 handle a two-way speaker with a large transmission line like the PMC GB1?I don't expect the B60 to drive these spea... | |
| Creek 5350SE - Is it all that? Thanks for all of the responses. Sounds like I couldn't go too far wrong with any of the three (Bryston, Creek, or Naim).On a related note, has anyone compared the original 5350SE to the new Classic 5350SE? I read somewhere that it got the redesig... | |
| Paradigm Studio 20 or 40? Thanks. I have a fear of wooly bass, probably from having tried to run Vandersteen 2Ci's with an underpowered amplifier for a while back in the 90's. |
