| Cambridge Audio 840C Curious, what power cord are you running with your 840C? | |
| New analog system disappoints, please help Assuming the phono preamp is set properly, I would check the cartridge alignment first. Slight tweaks in this area can result in huge benefits to or reductions in sound quality. Difference between "well, sound is coming out" and "WOW!" If you are ... | |

| Power Cord Revelation I think that there are reasonable explanations for how custom power cords can positively impact the performance of even (or especially) high performance audio equipment. They have mostly to do with the electrical environment OUTSIDE the components... | |
| Front ported speakers recommendation Check out Usher Be-718. Reviews on 6 moons and in latest issue of TAS. | |
| Best sounding LP nobody else has ever heard of... Savoy Brown - "Raw Sienna", Parrot Records.

| Best short-lived band? Savoy Brown - the version that made "Raw Sienna". Have to agree with Blind Faith, Little Village and Derek and the Dominos for fantastic one offs.Also, the first touring version of Steely Dan - circa "Can't Buy a Thrill". This is a hard one becaus... | |
| Unplugging / replugging Anti Cables Changes things Since Anti Cables are not shielded, I would explore the changed EMF/RFI theory. Are the cables crossing over other cables now? Exposed to the rear of another component? In closer proximity to a power cable than they were? I would look at your over... | |
| Cambridge Audio 840C Naim CD5X and CD5i just sound very musical compared to other digital sources in their price categories. Not as highly resolving as say, Moon, or Arcam, but with terrifically engaging and rhythmic output. Combined with Naim amps and decent speakers... | |
| Food for thought for all us audiophiles Curious all this. My wife's sister's husband is an engineer, music lover, and wire skeptic. Big amps and Ohm speakers? OK. But wire is wire. He also says old men (which he is rapidly becoming) can't hear the difference if there is any anyway becau... | |
| Solid integrated pre amp for beginner? If you have a relatively small room, a mid 70s Kenwood KA-3500 integrated amp. Only 40 Watts per channel but great phono stage and really clean sound.No matter what you get, if it is old it will probably have crud on the potentiometers and switche... | |
| Considering Cambridge Audio Amp/CD - Need Advice Soulgoober,I have carefully compared many of these budget CDP units over a several month period and reviewed them together briefly here:http://www.audioreview.com/cat/digital-sources/cd-players/cambridge-audio/PRD_299480_1586crx.aspx#review0Review... | |

| Considering Cambridge Audio Amp/CD - Need Advice Soulgoober,Ready for number and letter soup? I have the 640C v2 and really like it. I think the all-640 combination you suggest is over your $1000 budget new, yes? Unless you are looking to buy these used, which may be a good idea, you might consi... | |
| iTunes Importing? Jefferybowman2k, OK, so iTunes is locked into a weaker digital format by their attachment to the original iPod. What about other music servers like Real Networks? Is there any online music store that allows audiophiles to purchase and download ind... |
