| different strengths for different cables? Hi Rustler - maybe I can help. Your question about bi-amping the speakers is valid, but I have to tell you - my experience as well as my customers' experience is that you are going to be less than enthralled with the results, particularly with the... | |
| Opinions on Shunyata power cables w/Velodyne subs Right church - wrong pew. Try the subwoofer power cords from Synergistic Research on your velo sub. I have had very good results with them - less bloat, more precise pitch and seemingly "faster" bass. Good Luck! | |
| best digital set up 2006 Shadhorne - I couldn't disagree more with you. cdp's have evolved in the past 10 years - most newer designs are using cd/rom drives and buffer memory, which eliminate jitter and sharply reduces read errors, providing the listener with better resol... | |
| Is NBS still in business? I can answer your question. NBS was recently acquired by Ms. Louise Lambert from the former owners, Walter Fields and Michael Shields. The company and their products are very highly regarded in Europe and Asia, but their presence in the North Amer... | |
| subwoofers and panels don't mix MrTennis - I have a pair of Revel B12 subs (non-ported)with my Magnepan 3.6 r's and they are completely integrated into the system. That was NOT easy to do. I spent 6 months experimenting with placement of the subs and experimenting with subwoofer... | |
| Subs for Magnepan 2.7's Maybe I can help - I have 3.6R's and am using Revel Concerta B12 subs with them and the fit is amazing! The B12's have a parametric equalizer in them, are non-ported and very fast and pitch accurate. They should blend well with your speakers and t... | |
| Who carries audioprism cd stoplight in 94583 zip ? You can thanks Red Rose Music ( Mark Levinson) for the demise of Audio Prism and teh cd Stoplight, Quietlines, and Noise Sniffer, amung other unique and functional audio products. Of course he just "happened" to be there... it's never his fault ( ... | |
| Audience Au24 Bi-wire or w/Jumper with N803 Hi Cmrkeung - maybe I can help a bit with this. B&W's should be bi-wired to get the best performance n almost all cases. You hit on the one exception that I know of. B&W's will almost always sound best when using AU24 in a single run with ... | |
| Best interconnects for AYRE gear ? I have to agree with Glenn-garza. The Nirvana SX Ltd is a great cable with Ayre as is Cardas Reference (Neutral, and Golden and the new Golden Presence). Purist is also very good with Ayre, but I would use the Aqueous Anniversary rather than the V... | |
| Speaker cables being pricier than main speakers Ryder - that strategy makes no sense at least to me. While Valhalla is a very good cable, it certainly won't work well with every speaker, and therefore you run the risk of limiting yourself speaker selections because you invested a small fortune ... | |
| Opinions on speaker cable upgrade Tony, The AQ Anniv sound good right out of the box, but they will take 120-200 hours to reach their absolute best - at least they did in my system. Where the break in is obviously needed is in the depth of the soundstage and the imaging. Once brok... | |
| Opinions on speaker cable upgrade Nsgarch - I have had the opportunity to try all of the PAD cables in the same system here at work and also had the opportunity to try Venustas vs Aqueous Anniversary in particular in my home system (Magnepan 3.6R, Bat Vk200 monos, Vac Renaissance ... | |
| opinions on Shunyata, Nordost spkr. cables David - Thanks for the system list. You are right - the new Heimdall cables are closer to the SPM of the previous generation in that they are a bit warmer and have a little bit richer midrange, so they might be good on your system. Other cables th... | |
| Opinions on speaker cable upgrade Bander - You are looking at the right church, just in the wrong pew. I would take a hard look at the Purist Anniversary Aqueous speaker cables (bi-wire), which will fit your budget easily as long as the length you need isn't unusually long. Here's... | |
| opinions on Shunyata, Nordost spkr. cables Hasse - I wouldn't use Nordost on Maggies on a drunken bet! Try looking at Purist, Synergistic, or Cardas to get the best from your 3.6's (I use PAD Aqueous Anniversary myself on my 3.6's).David- what speakers and amp are you using? I should be ab... |
