| WBT Power Bridges or Dayton Jumpers? Hi,You can make good jumpers from speaker cables you already have and they'll be tonally matched. If you have the spare length and it wouldn't cause a catastrophic cosmetic nightmare of a surgery that is. Regardless, that brass plate will not sati... | |
| Best Cables for Usher Be718? Hi,I would stay away from silver for that set up. I have Be718 driven by Nuforce amp (detailed, transparent, neutral) and initially used a generally great sounding silver int but sounded harsh and thin in this set up. Wound up with JPS Super3 and ... | |
| Quicksilver Contact Enhancer I too have had success with tube pins. No loosening observed and the effect was certainly positive w/o any observable down side. It's worth a shot. If you don't like the effect, it can easily be cleaned with alcohol and some rubbing. Just don't ov... | |
| Amp Shootout: S-30, Ref 9 V2 SE, Raven, DAD-M100 Ait,Can you confirm if the Raven is ICE-powered? If so, I have an idea of its sound as I have recently graduated from a pair of Bel Canto Ref 1K (500watts/ch 8ohm, double down into 8) to the Nuforce. Different sound signature from each for sure. A... | |
| Amp Shootout: S-30, Ref 9 V2 SE, Raven, DAD-M100 Ait,Too bad your setup wouldn't accommodate the NuForce after it's warmed up and ready to play music. Those who have know its the opposite of what you described.Regards, | |
| Just purchased Usher Be-718. Need Help with Setup Core furniture has adjustable stands that goes from 22" - 29" and may suit your need. The model B looked and worked great with my Be-718. Check it out: http://www.corefurniture.comRegards, | |
| what power amplifier are really punchy My recommendation, NuForce Ref 9SE V2 or MCH-3SE (multi-channel equivalent). Best I heard at home for bass as well as the rest of the musical spectrum. at 190watts/ch 8ohm, 300watts 4ohm. $5K retail.Good luck, | |
| Amp Shootout: S-30, Ref 9 V2 SE, Raven, DAD-M100 I have the NuForce MCH-3SE (multi-channel equivalent to the Ref 9SE V2) and it replaced my Bel Canto Ref 1K for music, and now double-duty as my HT amp as well. After a few weeks of burn-in, the sound is just spectacular from all angles: sparkling... | |
| Has anyone tried the new JPS Superconductor 3 ? Hello,Anybody care to post their impression of this cable. I installed the interconnect between pre and amp. Very smooth with great extension at both ends of the spectrum. Soundstage like crazy, both wide and deep with my Nuforce MCH3 SE driving a... | |
| Quicksilver Contact Enhancer I've had the Quicksilver and Quicksilver Gold for years now. Initial impression is brightness but once things settled, my system became more transparent and revealing. I have not observed any uncalled for brightness or fatigue after the burn-in pe... | |
| WOW factor Nuforce MCH3SE w/ V2 boards. WOW!!!!! | |
| 400W amp under $2000 Hi there,How about D-sonic: http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstran&1209141954. Do the research though as I have no personal experience with this amp. | |
| Bel Canto Digital Amps newbie query ?? I've auditioned the HCA2 briefly at a friend's house and currently have the Bel Canto Ref 1K doing 2-channel and HT duty. No comparison, pristine clarity from top to bottom pumped with strength and conviction. Midrange and imaging is solid and "de... | |
