| Coming out of the blackhole called work...retirement Before you start spending money on gear, determine for yourself what kind of midrange and ’presentation’ you like. You may really like something like the disappearing act and clean presentation of a small Harbeth P3esr mated to a good single ended... | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc. Hey fsmithjack,Interesting thread.Did you get things worked out and sounding good to you ? | |
| Oyaide or Furutech plugs Don't want to steer you away from the Furutech if you're set on it, but I've had good DIY results on tube/hybrid power amp with Acrolink 7N P4030II. https://www.ebay.com/itm/ACROLINK-7N-P4030II-Stressfree-Power-Cable-Sold-By-1Meter-Each-Cut-100-Ge... | |
| Nuvista Tubes - General Here’s a write up of the MF Tri-Vista. I own this integrated, and it’s quite nice. I have upgraded the fuses and interconnecting cables for nice improvements; more delicacy and ’air’.https://hometheaterreview.com/musical-fidelity-tri-vista-300-int... | |
| What's Next ricred - I understand; I realize I mentioned the HD90 but maybe the HD60 would be worth considering. Joe Abrams has a pair listed here at about $2800. Also watch ebay. I was more mentioning a relatively lower cost cable change as an alternative t... | |
| MIT ... joeabrams I don’t think multiple listings, intentional or not, are necessarily good or bad either way. I’ve spoken with Joe and he is knowledgeable and very helpful. That provides significant value. And I think at the MIT level of cables, customers have pre... | |
| What's Next A bit of an outlier suggestion here.It looks like you just got your Clarus Crimson speaker cables, but I may suggest demoing a pair of the MIT HD90 or HD120 biwire. I think you'll get more apparent detail from a significantly quieter background.Th... | |
| A better lamp cord for my stereo equipment? VolexHome Depot extension cord | |
| Can cables of any cost and quality provide bass response missing in my B&W speakers? Cheapest route would be to add a Pangea 9SE power cord; it will add bass. Usually ~$150 | |
| Earliest "MOST WANTED" gear 18 in 1978 - Actually bought Sansui G4500 and Infinity RS-Bs(?) 3 ways. Also liked the Polk 10Bs. | |
| PMC 24 and Canalis Cambria two way floorstanders; What is the advantage to this design?: In the case of the PMC, the larger cabinet (vs. a standmount) provides for a longer transmission line to accurately develop design principles. The transmission line is filled with damping material and absorbs all of the mid and high frequencies f... | |
| Musical Fidelity M6-500i vs Kw - 500 @fatboyriding - sorry about the delayed response. I upgraded the power cords to Acrolink 7N-P2040 on the main power supply, and upgraded the umbilical cords to Acrolink 7N-P2030II. The stock cables were only 2 1/2 feet long, so it was difficult to... | |
| Newbie Looking for Advice on Streaming Music Steve, shadorne, willemj,Thanks for your discussion here. I’m in a similar situation. I have a W4SDac2DSD, which is not bad, but am looking into what I need to start streaming Tidal, Spotify, etc. I have an old MacMini that I’m using for personal ... | |
| Focal Sopra 2 Vs Wilson Sophia 3 Rashad-I live close to you (Lakewood Park).I would let you borrow my Musical Fidelity TriVista on your Sopras.It's probably not nearly as good as current technology, but it would give you an indication of a hybrid (tube/ss) integrated sound.PM me ... | |
