| IeGo Power Connectors I wouldn't call the F-50 a similar offering as it costs more than twice as much as the 8095. The only Furutech plug I tried was the FI-25 (gold) and I like the IeGO 8085 much better. I would consider the 8095 on par with the Oyaide 004 and 046 b... | |
| IeGo Power Connectors I've used them all except the copper 8055. I've also had Oyaide 046, 004, and 079 and the Furutech FI 25. I used them on Sunny Cables P600 power cords and later on DIY cable from Mundorf and some very nice vintage silver plate solid core copper ... | |

| Holy Brightness Batman! I bought a pair of custom/DIY speakers several years ago. They have a similar design to Legacy Focus and use Eton metal dome mids and tweeters which are highly detailed and can be BRIGHT! These speakers replaced Von Schweikert VR 4 Gen II and ki... | |
| Recommendation for an audiophile speaker cord that is not "bright"? If you like the cables in general but find the brightness an issue, you might try different plugs. The top of line IEGO 8095 is rhodium over silver and this plug has had a smoothing effect in my system. My speakers use Eton metal dome mids/tweet... | |
| Which amp is better for my system I've had both amps and actually followed the Threshold with a Classe 25 (rather than the 15 you mention). I used a Theta Miles run directly into the amp and speakers were original Martin Logan Aerius followed by Acoustat 2+2 with the blue medalli... | |
| Cambridge 851C vs Oppo 205 I don't have a 205 but I do have a Modwright BPD 83SE with the outboard tubed power supply. The 6SN7's are the Psvane CV-181 and the 5AR4 is some huge Russian variant. I had a Cambridge 851C and extensively compared the two sans preamp into a C... | |
| need good minimalist preamp or headphone amp to actively drive woofers in a biamp setup cleeds--would adding an active crossover, say an NHT X1 or X2, negate the need for an active preamp to increase the gain? | |
| need good minimalist preamp or headphone amp to actively drive woofers in a biamp setup Thanks for the responses. cleeds2: why would an active crossover be the right choice in my situation? The speakers have built in crossovers and I paid a member here, years ago, to improve them with better parts. I couldn't comment on what was... | |
| need opinions on cdp with built in volume control up to $2000 Thanks for the input pehare. That's kinda how I feel about tube amps that can run either in triode or UL. I've never prefered triode as it gives up too much detail and just sounds muddy or opaque. Thanks again. | |
| need opinions on cdp with built in volume control up to $2000 soix----Your suggestion is a good one and I've considered it quite a bit. I did recently try the EVS modified Gustard DAC X20, which the reviews touted as a giant killer. I used an Upgrade Co modded Denon 3910 and an Oppo BDP 83SE as transports ... | |
| cdp repair in Chicago Looks like one of the recommended shops will pick up my players and take them in for repair. Wish me better luck with this service center and thanks to all for the recommendations. | |
| need opinions on cdp with built in volume control up to $2000 trelja---Looks like Deltronics in Chicago is going to pick up my players and (hopefully) fix them. Both were having occasional problems playing discs, skipping or distorting on semi-rare occasion, with more problems occurring toward the end of so... | |
| cdp repair in Chicago I'll check with both shops. I'm about 4 hours south of Chicago but I didn't want to risk shipping these beasts as Fed Ex hasn't been kind to my electronics lately so a personal delivery seemed safest. Thanks for the options! | |
| what can reasonably be expected of a seller? akg_ca: I am in agreement that feedback is essential when considering trusting a seller and I've passed on many items because of poor feedback. But I very much differ with you on your first point. You mention the PITA factor for opening a store... |
