H.P.Caravelles owners, are you still Satisfied. S7Horton, hey Seth, I really wish that you could find a way to hear the Caravelles, these are unbelievable. I've heard them a lot. For people like us with monitors, subs are not a necessity at all. They have more bass than my Silver Signature's. L... | |
Review: Accustic Arts DAC I - MK3 DA converter Thanks, Teajay. Brian recommended it as my next upgrade. Is that the digital interconnect that he sells that you're using? | |
Difficult Choice David, I don't mean to be sarcastic, but it sounds like you're very, very picky with a lot of money at your disposal. Why don't you just go to the different major cities in the US and audition the various items for yourself? That might be a lot be... | |
Of the B&W Signature 805 and the new 804S You might want to try the B&W Silver Signature's, the grandfather of the 805S.Chuck | |
Micro-bearing conductive steel fill vs. sand fill? I swear by the micro-bearing conductive steel fill: my Sistrum stand and my Sonoran cables. To me the music is much more alive.But now, you're talking about building your own stands, which I know nothing about. Why don't you go to http://www.audio... | |
Help with a preamp upgrade I had the Krell KRC-3 pre-amp from the time it came out up until two years ago. It's a classic!I now have the Herron VTSP-1A/166. I sat down and did a side by side comparison with the C-J Premier 17 LS 2, and easily chose the Herron. For the recor... | |
April Music Eximus/Oracle Audio CD1000 Transports I haven't heard either, but I did audition the little brother, the April Music Stello CDT-200 ($1,500.00) for two months at home.It literally blew away my Theta Data Basic II in every aspect except the depth of the soundstage. So much so in fact, ... | |
solid state amps matched with tube pre amp Yes, don't ever turn you pre-amp on with your power amp already on.I know my Herron VTSP-1A/166 pre-amp can be left on all of the time without prematurely burning out the tubes. I believe the concern about that concers power amps rather than pre-a... | |
Amp Stand for Bryston 4BSST I recommend looking into a Sistrum stand, http://www.audiopoints.com/sistrum.html. I had used the AudioPoints for years with my Michael Green rack, but the upgrade to their Sistrum line is a real step up.You can audition one for thirty days, and t... | |
Am I missing something? I remember talking to Alan Kafton (the maker of The Cable Cooker and the Power Wing XP) and I mentioned that everytime I sit down and listen to my system I smile and say to myself "This really sounds good".Alan asked me "What more could you ask fo... | |
Center speaker OR Full range as Center speaker? It's funny, when everyone was trying to find my 'missing' center channel speaker, it was actually before the days of DVD's and I had a nice Hi-Fi Quality VCR hooked up.Once DVD's came in, I bought a simple but nice Pioneer DVD and with the Dunlavy... | |
Center speaker OR Full range as Center speaker? Lej1447, I guess its time to dispute Cinematic_Systems and explain to you what I meant. Im 51 and have played music since grade school, so Im biased towards quality. It has nothing to do with being negative, and certainly nothing to do with bei... | |
Center speaker OR Full range as Center speaker? There is only one real reason for the center channel speaker: to localize the voices for everyone seated off to the side of the screen! If you are seated in front of the screen with a high quality stereo system, the voices are centered.Think about... | |
Can HI FI components really make music? Maybe you have too much noise in your system.My biggest upgrades were my PowerWing XP from Alan Kafton, Sonoran cabling with the steel micro-bead insulation, and finally Sistum stand and/or AudioPoints.Dropping the noise floor lets you actually he... | |
Cable Basics I use Sonoran Plateau cables from www.audiopoints.com. They have a steel micro-bead insulation that I've found shields everything. I can lay all of the cables, speaker wires and power cords along side, laying on top of, or any other way and they s... |
