| cambridge 640 int.amp/player/ w/826v focal/cables? Ethos has some good ideas for you. The Kimber Heros should mate well with your player and amp. I am using Audioquest Diamondback interconnects and Type IV cables, and Shunyata Diamondback Power cable (complete coincidence on the naming convention!... | |
| Best CDP under $500?..... Used market OK, the JD 100 is pretty good. Different from the Cambridge, but still good for this kind of money. It's warmth is going to be more forgiving of wires fore and aft and electronics and speakers upstream than the Cambridge with the 640's tendency to... | |
| Amplification for Monitor RS6 Aball,Not exactly a fair comparison for the NAD 720BEE to their three hundred series integrated's with respect to bass control and presence. The 372 and 375 have three times as much power (150W X 2) as the 720 receiver (50W X 2), and can lord over... | |
| Best CDP under $500?..... Used market Two weeks ago I would have agreed with all these recommendations - but not now. I own a Cambridge Audio Azur 640C v2 player and thought it was a good but not great player with magnifying glass resolution, but a somewhat bright and overly analytica... | |
| Amplification for Monitor RS6 I have heard the RS6 and like them a lot. Given the nature of the RS6 speakers - I would look at a slightly warmer to neutral amp - like the YBA, NAD C372, new C375BEE or C355BEE, Unison Unico. Try the Cambridge with the RS6 before you commit to t... | |
| Upgrade to Totem Forest or Monitor Audio GS60? I love the Totem Forests in a bigger room, but I think the Monitors will be better for rock - all those aluminum drivers will move lots of air RIGHT NOW when asked. Not sure which would best compliment your ARCAM amplifier - can you audition with ... | |
| Mapleshade Silclear Ckorody,Helpful information. Yes, ultimate goal is to get rid of all brass. In the meantime, I am trying some poor man's silver plating. | |
| Mapleshade Silclear Ckorody,You said "Also it leaves silver stains on connector housings". Actually, I think that is the point, to produce a semi-fluid silver "stain" on the blades of your connectors as opposed to a visible layer of silver and oil goo. I am skeptical... | |
| Shunyata Diamondback vs. Other Shunyata PCs Mb9061,Let me put it this way:The Shunyata Diamondback was about 50% better than than the Venom for 2.5x the money.The Taipan was about 15% better than the Diamondback for 2.5x the money.This of course was what I found listening with a budget CD p... | |
| Shunyata Diamondback vs. Other Shunyata PCs I know this is long after the original post, but perhaps somebody else will be interested in what I have found. I just tested the Shunyata Diamondback power cord versus the company's Taipan Helix VX and Venom cords, and tested all these against a ... | |
| Mapleshade Silclear Curious if people who were enthusiastic about this product are still enjoying silclear several years after first application? If you changed equipment or wires, did you reapply the product? Sounds like biggest problems had to do with application o... | |
| Best budget phono preamp for Unison Unico? Hey Rebbi,That's great! When you report back on the Bottlehead, interested to hear how you like your "new" system at this point in its life???PS - I am intrigued by these interconnects:http://marc.stager.com/silver/Haven't heard 'em, but want to t... | |
| Best and Worst Rock Concert Moments Hadn't hear about Mitchell... notable passing. Listen to his work on the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival recording backing Hendrix and Billy Cox. Wow!http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2008/11/jimi_hendrixs_drummer_mitch_mi.html | |
| New Fuse Thread . . . Thanks, I have three Hi-Fi Tuning fuses in my integrated amp now - found same positive effect as reported here. Will try in CDP next. | |
| Decco from Preachtree audio Sugith,That is really too bad. I happened to be in an audition room this week with a Decco using a modest Panasonic BluRay player as the source and connected to Vienna Acoustic Beethoven Baby grand speakers, and again (once set up properly) I was ... |
