| Replacing internal wiring. I have replaced the internal wires (Monster) of my Snell J/4's speakers with Kimber 4TC (using only three strands-approximately 15-16ga.) and the resulting sound was much better to my ears. I used KimberKable 4 TC from my int. ampto my speakers. I... | |
| How do I choose a decent system? I would look into Sherwood Newcastle products for your rec.and cd player. Spearitsound.com has a R-725 for $279. TheCDC-680T CD Player would most likely work with the receiver's remote.(Check w/dealer as the CD is current modeland the receiver is ... | |
| Which speaker for "bright" room? Brand A, B orC? A choice you may consider is Spendor SP-100. I've personallyhave not heard this model, however, I've owned the littleS 3/5. (A wonderful musical spk.) Another to consider,Harbeth Monitor 40. Dampen your listening room as so many others have sugges... | |
| Virginia Audiophiles - I Need Guidance I'll second "Down to Earth Audio" in Salem, Va. Also, visit "Sound Decisions" while in Roanoke. If you like chinese food, MUSTvisit "Red Palace" (4490 Electric Rd, Roanoke, Va. (540)725-8898. FANTASTIC! | |
| Naim -- Fatiguing? I owned the Nait 5 int.amp for a while(1-2yrs.) I had the NAC A5 wire w/chord interconnects.(DIN to RCA) I was using Spendor S 3/5's speakers. Personally, there was just "something"missing for me with this int. amp. It's very well built andsounds ... | |
| Receivers 500 and under? Look at "Sherwood" receivers. A few years ago I bought a new Sherwood RV-4050R from Circuit City for the blow-out price of $92.($300+ retail) A very good product. Has many features, has a good tuner, sleep timer, and the ablity to turn off theL.E.... | |
| Beginner in Vinyl - How far should I go? I've just gotten back into vinyl after a 10 year absence.Before I used inexpensive turntables (one had a decent moving coil cart.) and this time around a found a used pristine Music Hall MMF-5 w/goldring cart. There is no comparison.Night and Day ... | |
| I need amplification..... I'm sorry... in my earlier post I mentioned the "Sudgen" A-21 int. amp. I spelled it wrong. It should be SUGDEN. | |
| I need amplification..... I would also recommend tube amplification with your speakers. Jolida makes a few products that would fall intoyour price range. Also, Sudgen A-21. Class A int. amp. (price however could be a little above your budget) Try toaudition in your own hom... | |
| use Dennon 2802 as pre-amp and add tube amp? Yes, IMO, it is worth a good amp to get cleaner sound. Myexperience w/B&W spks(DM 600/640, CDM 2) is that they areforward and somewhat bright. A warm SS or tube amp mightoff-set this and make them more enjoyable to you. I've beenlead to believ... | |
| Bright / forward speaker cables. Kimber 4TC, Nordost "Solar wind." Bi-wire spks. if possible,will add greater detail and tighten bass. Audition as manyloaner cables as possible. Bill | |
| Need upgrade, sell the B&W 602 and get a tube amp? Look into a mellow/smooth interconnect.(Van den Hul D-102 III.) Also, if the 2802 has metal jumpers from pre to main in, consider replacing those also w/VDH. Will tame the harshness. Also, find a "Straightwire" retailer. Try out some Quartet spk. ... | |
| Best speakers for amp If you were to venture into HT, I'd look into MIRAGE loud-speakers. They are easy to drive, sound great with any SSint. amp./receiver and have a wonderful soundstage.(www.tsto.com. The Stereo Trading Outlet is selling Mirage790 loundspeaker for $4... | |
| Does it hurt when you sell at a loss? I suppose we justify this behavior because it is means uponwhich we achieve an end. (Our perception of correct sounddynamics/timbre etc..) Unfortunately, the process is difficult, as we all know, because every component playsa vitual role in the p... | |
| Cable confusion? Look into "Straitwire" speaker wire. I believe dealerswill allow a home trial and a one year trade-up. My localdealer will. I've tried various cables (Monster, Cable Talk,NAC A5, Kimber4VS) on a relatively inexpensive system. Cur-rently I'm using ... |
