| Speaker - Room/size dilemma Thank you guys. Great suggestions. Regarding the corner requirements, I have the MLs at 1.5' from the side and 2' from the front walls. That's about the practical placement limits of the speakers. I tried pulling the speakers more forward - while ... | |
| Bi-amping Rules At the minimum, you need to be able to control the gain of one of the amps in order to make the bi-amp approach work properly. Even then, the results can be very mixed. My NAD preamp allows for changing the gain on the second pre-out output. Some ... | |
| JBL L300 - true myth? So, what is this so called "west coast sound" that as referenced earlier? I still have my L40 that I bought new back in college in my second system and it sounds fine but nowhere near the higher end speakers that are out there. By comparison, my o... | |
| McIntosh unsound, just do a Google search on "McIntosh Autoformers". Plenty of great information out there. | |
| McIntosh The McIntosh Autoformers have been discussed ad nauseam in many audiofile sites. Whomever says it does not make sense should first educate themselves on why their designers chose this design option before making comments. If they didn’t make sense... | |
| Bi-amping Rules Thanks for all the inputs. I have experimented bi-amping my Aerius i using few different amps, all SS, and could never get it to sound right or better than a single (good) amp. | |
| Question about neutrality and transparency in an amp I don't have experience with your specific set up but all things being equal, in my system the vinyl generally has a "warmer" sound but with a trade off between the loss of some of the details at the two extremes of the frequency range. I think it... | |
| Interconnect Cable Length Thank you guys for your input. The 6 meter cable is an Onix Master series that retails for $1800. I bought it for quite a bit less along with the MC2200 amp. I did an A and B test comparing it with my 3 meter Pangea cable (paid $150) and could not... | |
| Interconnect Cable Length Just a quick update and another question. Since my last post I read up some more about the Carys and their very high output impedance and decided to go with a solid state amp and bought a perfect condition, recently serviced McIntosh MC2200 stereo... | |
| Interconnect Cable Length Thank you. Unfortunately I don't have balanced input/output on either of my devices and they are currently 1.5 meters apart. My spacial limitations are based on the fact that I'm currently using my in-wall speaker wiring - 12 gauge, and each run i... | |
| Advice on what preamp to select. This is not going to be of any direct help but I just recently purchased a Vincent SP-331 MK hybrid amp and I think the Vincent products are very underrated. I'm confident you'll be pleasantly surprised by the performance of the SA 31 MK preamp. | |
| Cary SLM-100 amplifîer upgrade question Hi folks - Just wanted to post a quick update. Had a chat with my friend and he's looking to get $1,200 for the pair of his Cary SLM-100s. He'll include a pair of Virtual Dynamics power cords as well but I not sure what model. The Carys are the ch... | |
| Raven Audio Tube amps Raven products are indeed excellent but find Steve Huff's review (more of a BS than an actual review) actually counterproductive to the image of their products. Its more like a strip mall used car salesman trying to sell you a Ferrari. | |
| Cary SLM-100 amplifîer upgrade question Thank you guys for your input. I always thought if I had to make a choice it is better to have longer speaker wires than longer interconnects, of course within similar quality/price window. But that aside, do those of you who are familiar with the... | |
| Cary SLM-100 amplifîer upgrade question Thanks for the input. Couple of clarifications on my original post. I have seen and heard the Carys but won't be able to audition them in my own house. Shipping is not an issue since it'll be local pickup. In fact I bought the Aerius speakers from... |
