| Need a new integrated, what say you? safebelayer: I’m here. Thank you everyone for all the suggestions. I’ve been reading the posts, reading corresponding reviews of the recommendations and contemplating which one to go with. I wish I could buy them all at once and demo each in real... | |
| Transparent Cable comparisons across both level and generation I have some super gen 5 biwire speaker cables on the way to see how they sound vs. my current cardas golden reference biwire speaker cables. I recently added golden reference xlr interconnects and they sound wonderful with my setup. I didn’t quite... | |
| It this a decent Phono setup? Thanks for all the suggestions. Overall, I like the sound of my vinyl setup. However, it’s not quite up to par with my digital side, which is a modded Cambridge 851c. I see there are several posts regarding the Audio Technica cartridge, so I may l... | |
| trying to upgrade speaker cable: Audioquest type 9 or Rocket 88 Contact John Rutan at Audio Connection in NJ. He is the guru with Vandy and AQ. 973-239-1799. A friend of mine has Vandy 2c III’s and John recommended Type 9 biwire and they sound awesome. And yes, definitely use biwire with Vandys. | |
| McIntosh MA6300 vs. Mark Levinson 383 Integrated Thanks dayglow. My speakers are Revel F30. I’ve read the Concentra integrateds are very good. | |
| CDP under $2K recommendations, please I second the Cambridge 851c. However, since you mentioned Rega and Naim, you may also want to consider the Cyrus CDi as well. From what I’ve read, they seem on par with Naim. The Music Room is a dealer for all three. There are reviews on WhatHiFi ... | |
| 1 piece of audio gear I really regret selling is.. Creek 4330SE with a Naim CD3.5. Excellent combo. | |
| Transparent Cables interconnects question So we spoke with transparent and confirmed the info indicated above. They said to find out which connection type is native and then choose a cable from there. If one is native to xlr, and the other rca, then best to test both option to see what so... | |
| Transparent Cables interconnects question Both components have balanced connections. One is a Krell integrated, the other is a Rotel cdp, but not sure of the model; I believe it’s a 1570. I’m posting this query for a friend who advised these two interconnects are for sale somewhat close t... | |
| Your experience with these power cables? jafant, is the Ayre stock pc a typical standard issue cable? Or is it a custom made item for the cx7? | |
| Your experience with these power cables? I’m currently demoing all 4 cables. Here are my findings thus far: Started off with û powerchords on both a levinson 383 Integrated and cambridge 851c. Swapped out the powerchord for the jps labs digital ac on the 851c. This really opened up the 8... | |
| Best CD player from this list Thanks again for all the feedback. Based on all this info, I decided to give the 851c a whirl. I recently picked one up on the used market from the original owner. It arrived this past week and had one demo session thus far. I have much more liste... | |
| Best CD player from this list Thanks for the feedback guys. To provide some additional info, I’ve been demoing a friend’s 840c. Of the list I provided, the two I’m most interested/curious about are the 851c and cx7e mp. The 840c sounds very good; especially with electronic mus... | |
