| Quicksilver V4 amps The V4's will drive the Meadowlarks without any problem. I have never listened to the V4's on the Nighthawks, but did listen to the V4's extensively on the Meadowlark line before the went to their current line. ( Re: Kestrel, Shearwater, Heron ) I... | |
| Power cords "" Owner said that anybody that spends more than $50 on a cord is out their mind. ""The owner should like Frank at www.signaaudio,.com. Frank only wants $49!"" Essentially said a fool and his money are soon parted "" He is right on this point as w... | |
| Does such a preamp exist? What is your pre, amp(s) speakers. And how big is your room? Maybe the problem isn't the pre. To me your question reminds me of someone calling their dentist, and telling them they have tooth that hurts. Of course the dentist canoot tell them what... | |
| Wadia 830 Gnsc,Thanks, I read a little on the 301. I may be interested to try it some day. By then I'm sure there will be a 303 or 909 or something like that available to replace the current 302.I think I prefer the look of the 830 though.... | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Hey I got an idea. Why don't we forget about strings, cable, and maybe even circular things. And just listen to our music, and forget about what pc we are running. That is the point of this hobby, isn't it????Somtimes I read these posts and I want... | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? I haven't bothered to read all the posts, becuase if I recall there was a similar psot like this. But I will say Jetmek, if all you did was a quick A/B test I doubt I would notice either. It has been my experience that electronics ( especially pow... | |
| amp-preamp considerations. Machine,I didn't think you bought the Adcom to match up with the CJ. I was joshing with you :)The CJ is an excellent piece, as long as you have it, might as well try some tube preamps with it. I don't have a clue what your source is, recomending a... | |
| amp-preamp considerations. A Adcom matched with a CJ??? Wow! Don't let CJ know that, they migh come and tack back their amp :):):) Of course I shouldn't talk, I have done worse in a pinch. But just for a very short while.I disagree with the SS pre/tube amp combo. Tehcnicanl... | |
| opinion on electronics for Vandy 2Ce Sig Lasvegasjeff,That's the trouble of these posts:::: Opinions vary like the changing wind. What you like, I may not like, what you listen for, I may not. Then someone says something about someone else's favorite gear, and we can have a shooting matc... | |
| opinion on electronics for Vandy 2Ce Sig Mikesinger,You definetly offered the other end of the SS world with the PSE. I auditioned them early on in my SS days, just about 1 week before I auditioned a McCormack DNA-1 " All on Vandersteen speakers by the way " While I considered the McCorm... | |
| What Power Cord for API Power Wedge 116 II ? Check out the link I posted. He is well under $100! I must admit I was sceptical about his cords ( becuase the price is low ) at first. But then I tried them. His agon user name is Frank9740 with 397 positive feedbacks " and no negatives " Frank i... | |
| opinion on electronics for Vandy 2Ce Sig Zstokes,All the preamps you mentioned do not expose the tubes. So I geuss I'm confused..... You seem decided on a SS amp. So you won't have a problem with the wife. | |
| What Power Cord for API Power Wedge 116 II ? You answered your own question. Basiclly any power cord out there ( which would include over 100 ) with a 20 amp IEC connector. Got a price range? Try this gent out, he sells some pretty good cables, for a very good price. He can give you some goo... | |
| opinion on electronics for Vandy 2Ce Sig McCormack would defintely light up the Vandersteens, with say a Rouge 66 pre. But I personaly would try to find a Classe 100 watt amp if there was one available. It won't be easy as I see very few pass through audiogon. You didn't mention your sou... | |
| what pre amp for my setup, Timo is right, the preamp is something else that will distort your sound. With every peice of equipment that the signal must pass through you create more distortion. If however you need a tape-loop, then your forced to a preamp perhaps.There are m... |
