| Is there an optimal interconnect lenght? "Break-in" time and the time it takes to "settle-in" (Or "re-settle in" after being moved around) happens quicker in a shorter length IC. Nothing wrong in using a .5m Interconnect and will cost less as well. | |
| Modding NAD system: adding IEC & power cord ? I would highly recommend you replace the stock power cord on your amp as well as your CDP. Hugh improvement. I just replaced the stock 18ga. cord on my Rotel dual-mono RB-960BX amp w/ a 14/3 Belden cord w/ a Marinco AC plug. I decided to not to pu... | |
| new to site North Country Audio has new Rega TT's w/ glass platers at a very reasonable price. (They are located in the Cadance Building in NY, I believe.) Very respectable company. Bill | |
| Very confused... Noob help needed Sony made some very good int.amps/Rec's. (I own a TA-AX6 Int. amp, and an early 80's Rec's and an 1990 STR-GX60 Rec. and a few other vintage pieces.) I will say if they are matched to the right spk., they will make a very musical system. Spk. cabl... | |
| Large room but not large budget-suggestions please An older pr. of Snell floorstanders would be an outstanding choice. I own E/III's and J/IV's and these are both GREAT spks. Check out the Snell D/C/B's as well. Forget the Arro's. Too small for the room and IMO a little overpriced. The Vandersteen... | |
| Belden wire from Blue Jeans Cable? A double run of Kimber 4 VS is very good if your spks. are bi-wireable. Another most excellent/affordable spk. cable is Linn K400. Musical. Goodwin's Audio can make a pr. for a very reasonable price. Highly recommnded. | |
| Will I improve the qualitry of sound? Excellent previous posts. I doubt you will notice too much of a differnce. I'd consider a 200w RB-990 if you want to upgrade in the Rotel family or try a different amp. Some lower powered amps may sound more musical. Just recently bought a dual mo... | |
| Classic Pioneer table -upgrade cart or replace? Bought a Mint direct-drive Pioneer PL-660 TT on Ebay for a song and replaced the the stock conical P-mount AT needle w/ a much better Audio Technica AT 311EP cart.($40 J&R Music World) for a total cost of $85. Sounds pretty good to me. The TT ... | |
| Rotel RC995 preamp. 2 versions? My understanding is that the price was lowered to $700 when they were closing out the model. My unit was made in China. One seller on Ebay listed the unit he was selling as being made in Japan? Interesting. A great affordable pre-amp. | |
| preamp suggetions for mid lvl system The Rotel RC-955 is a very refined pre-amp. Not at all bright sounding. Musical best sums it up. I like this pre-amp better than the Bryston BP-25 which I owned previously. Plus, the Rotel has a superb phono section. For what these pre-amps are go... | |
| preamp suggetions for mid lvl system I bought a Rotel RC 995 Pre-amp recently and it is very musical and well constructed. Highly recommended. I tried a B&K PT 3/II in my system and it was not nearly as musical compared to the Rotel RC-960 which I was using at the time. The RC-95... | |
| Anyone familiar with Straightwire Black Silc My Cardas Quadlink 5C is the same way. I was told as well I would need a solder pot. Before I knew this, I ending up using some banana plugs I had on hand. (Cardas and RS gold-plated ones) Seems to work well. Length of spk. wire turned out to be t... | |
| rotel rc 995 vs. adcom gfp 565 preamps... The Rotel is absolutely a great pre-amp. I bought mine used from Echo Audio and I have no regrets whatsoever. (These retailed for $900 at one time, then $699 I believe. Worth every penny even at full retail. For what they are going for used, an ab... | |
| Looking to Upgrade and enter Hi-Fi world You'll need better amplification,sources,wires, and a whole lot more to bring out the best from the spks. you're considering. You'll be on the merry-go-round. You'll be spending $$$. I personally would buy either a used mid/high quality int. amp o... | |
| Help First Audiophile system Recently put a very nice system together consisting of a used Rega Jura floorstanders w/ a MINT 1990 Sony ES Rec. w/ a Yamaha CDC-655 5 disk CDP which can be bought used for under $75. Total cost $550. Another system; HK VX-550i Rec. (Upgraded bid... |
