| Good Interconnects for NAD? Pmt - the cable that you want to get the best from your NAD cd player is a vandenHul D102 III Hybrid. Of all the cables that we handle (60+ brands), our customers rave that the D102 brings out the best in NAD players at a reasonable price. I hope ... | |
| What speaker cables work well with Nordost Valhall With your setup using Alon speakers, I would sugegst that you try some Alpha Core Goertz AG1 or AG2 speaker cables,Virtual Dynamics NIte or David, or perhaps Audio Magic Triniums. The secret to a good system match is to try and match the transfer ... | |
| BEST LOW VOLUME FULL RANGE SPEAKERS? My choice for this application would be the Merlins VSM- MX speakers. Small footprint, gorgeous sound at low, medium and high levels, excellent soundstaging, easy to drive and stunningly good looking. There are literally hundreds of speakers that ... | |
| what would be a good mat for a VPI SCOUT JWM9 Sorry to have to disagree here, but both the Scout and ScoutMaster will benefit sonically in a very large way from the use of an aptly named product called the "Way Excellent Turntable Mat" from Herbies Audio (http://herbiesaudiolab.home.att.net/)... | |
| Cable auditions - Hard Work? Auditioning cables is hard work - but it doesn't have to be excrutiatingly painful and the benefits can be great. The place that I get demo cables from to try (The Cable Company)has them already broken in, so unless I am trying something silver-ba... | |
| What Integrated To Match Cremona Audiors There are a couple of integrated amps that I would consider for use with this speaker. The first would be the VAC Super Avatar, one of the all-time best sounding tube integrated amps made, IMO. Smooth, refined detailed sound that would get the bes... | |
| Solid state "backup" amp recommendation Hi Semi - in reading of your system configuration and what you want the new amplifier for, I would certainly add the NuForce Ref 8B ( for balanced) monoblocks @ $1600/pair. These light-weight wonders are analog switching amps and are very chameleo... | |
| Any advice on a pre-amp with HT pass-through? You should also consider the Rogue Audio 99Magnum, which can have the HT pass-thru set up on it. GREAT sounding tube pre-amp! | |
| Tube Pre-amp recommendations for Maggie 3.6 Just adding my couple of pennies to the discussion - I would go for the VAC Renaissance pre. They are fully balanced, with both RCA and XLR outputs, have a remote, home theater by-pass, can have a great internal phono stage. Excellent, refined TUB... | |
| has anyone heard the nuforce amplifiers I have had fairly extensive trials with these amps. They tend to be chameleon-like in that they sound "tubish" with a tube pre-amp and solid state in nature with ss pre-amps. They will, however, completely obliterate any tuner in your house while ... | |
| Tonearm Cable:different from regular IC? Best one? Perhaps I can help. The signal from a phono cartridge is far lower (mV rather than Volts)than a cd player or tuner, so a cable designed for this particular function is the way to get the best from your vinyl playback. Interestingly enough, Cardas ... | |
| Want to experience tubed CDP? I agree with Jrwr7, teh Lector 5T is certainly the way to go for a tube cdp under $2000. Moving up in price, you certainly should try and give a listen to teh Granite Audio 657 at $2900 - it is the best cd player that I have heard short of the AA ... | |
| speaker with high WAF Merlin Millenium VSM would be my speaker of choice for major WAF and great sonics - good luck! | |
| Ideas? PowCords for deHavilland GM70 SETamps I have had great success with Purist Audio Design Venustas power cords on the dh amps in one system and in a defferent system, I prefer the Nordost Vishnu - go figure! It would be best to give them both a listen if you can. | |
| Where to use aftermarket power cords? Instead of relying on the opinions of others, why not try some cables on both your source and amp from the Cable Company. They have a cable library that lets you hear the results in your system, with your music, your room acoustics and most import... |
