| HDMI Cable comparisons FWIW, I tried both the economy (28AWG @ $3.96) as well as the thicker gauge(24AWG), higher cost HDMI 1.3a compliant monoprice cable and have to give my nod to the later. Better color saturation, richer, better contrast. Plus it's only $6.97 for a ... | |
| Speaker shock absorbers Hi Kijanki,I believe Trondf meant the SM-1 model($70 w/ 50lbs capacity ea), not the SM-2 which you mentioned @ $160ea (150lbs capacity). So, $80 (w/ $10/ pack of pellets)x 8(4/spkr) = $640.00. Still, this is not insubstantial but if you have the d... | |
| PS Audio A-100 compared to Bel Canto S300 Bill,If you're inclined, the MCH series of Nuforce amps are all equipped with the V2 boards. I just got confirmation from their VP, Casey Ng. It is great for both stereo as well as HT application. In my case, I have the MCH3SE-C7.Best regards,Kenobi | |
| Review: Bel Canto Design e One DAC III DA converter Blindjim,As always, your reviews are impressively honest and comprehensive, covering all angles sonically and otherwise.Thank you,Kenobi | |
| PS Audio A-100 compared to Bel Canto S300 Hi Bill,The NuForce Ref 9V2 should take noise out of the question. No, the 9.02s for $900 is not the Version 2 (V2). It was an earlier model derived from the V1 board. If you can swing it, I definitely recommend the V2 as I heard them both and am ... | |
| PS Audio A-100 compared to Bel Canto S300 I thought the NHT Power 5 and Bel Canto S300 all used the same ICE module and both received Stereophile Class "B" recommendation if I remembered correctly. So, it may be a lateral move and may not be much of a step up if any.I would suggest you lo... | |
| Class D amp with Tube Preamp Combo? Ait,I have no issue if you are happy with your Gilmore amp. Just don't over generalize it by saying that it, quote: "In my evaluation, the Gilmore blew the NuForce Ref 9 SE V2 completely and utterly out of the water." w/o a caveat that it may not ... | |
| Anyone else tried the Acoustic Systems Liveline? I believe the above is in U.S. Dollars. | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Undertow,Well said. I have similar success with some Isoclean fuses. Those who debates the recipe will miss out on the cake.Regards,Kenobi | |
| Class D amp with Tube Preamp Combo? Hi Guidocorona,Thank you for your confirmation. It took me a while, at least a few weeks for the sound to mature and probably a few months to where its at currently. Audiophiles are an impulsive bunch and not the most patient. I am also one. Lucki... | |
| Class D amp with Tube Preamp Combo? Hi Guidocorona, Jim and anyone interested,Here's the review Ait did some time ago where he referenced the Nuforce Ref 9V2SE with others: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ramps&1205629120I believe this is an aberation, perhaps limited to... | |
| Harmonic Technology VS Acoustic Zen cables In my experience, the AZ is better, being more refined and better balanced from top to bottom w/in the same price range. Robert Lee, the founder of both companies. He's the reason for initial success behind both these companies and is still behind... | |
| Class D amp with Tube Preamp Combo? Ait,I think you need to mention that your assessment of the Gilmore amp as compared to the Nuforce was based on experience w/ your particular system where the Nuforce Ref 9SE V2 had issue with noise. I mentioned before that the Nuforce once proper... | |
