| Best Cd Player under $500.00 Used OR New The Upgrade Company modded Denon 3910 is an exceptional CD player and does magic with DVD-A and SACD. These usually sell for less than $400 on A'gon. FWIW, I replaced a Consonance Droplet 5.0 and a Lexicon RT-20 with the modded Denon. There was a ... | |
| speaker wire termination Bare wire connected to the amp and speaker binding posts is best if you're looking for the most transparent and detailed sound. If you're looking for a more "flavored" sound, then your best bet would be a plated spade. I'm not a fan of banana plug... | |
| regarging components that have a 20a AC IEC Seems I made a mistake..... I confused the IEC of the XPR series with the XPA series. Looks like I'm OK with my current crop of 15A plugs. Still, there were some very useful observations and comments and I learned a few things. Also, Al, I threw i... | |
| regarging components that have a 20a AC IEC OK, if this were my primary system, I would be most interested in the absolute performance I could get given my modest means. However, this is my secondary system which also sees limited A/V use. I have an Upgrade Company modded Oppo BDP-83SE that... | |
| regarging components that have a 20a AC IEC The amps are on their way. I'll check the plugs when they arrive and act according to the advice received here. I hope the male plugs are 15a. I'm not up for installing a 20a line. Thanks everyone! | |
| Power cord connectors Different plugs can change the sound of a given power cord quite significantly. I ditched the stock cheapo Wattgates on power cords from Sunny Cables (P600) and Cerious Technology in favor of Oyaide 046 male plugs and IeGO 8085 female plugs (gold ... | |
| single Cambridge audio azur 840w vs bridged mono I don't any experience with the Cambridge 840W but do have experience bridging a pair of Pathos Classic One MK III integrated amps. I read the reviews of both amps (bridged) at Dagogo by Doug Schroeder. Since you didn't ask about the Pathos amps, ... | |
| BI-AMPING I don't have Legacy Focus loudspeakers but I have a pair of custom built loudspeakers that are of a similar design having a pair of 12" Peerless 1259 woofers per side as well as dual 6" Eton midbass drivers, and Eton metal dome mids and tweeters. ... | |
| Arcam P777 or Theta Intrepid I recently picked up a Theta Intrepid with the intention of using it as a solid state (thus summer friendly) back-up to my primary SET amplifier. I then got a killer deal on a pair of Bohlender Graebner 520DX loudspeakers so now the Intrepid is th... | |
| Maestro vs. Furutech GTX-D Gold AC Outlets My speakers are DIY using Eton metal dome mids and tweeters. Surprisingly, the top end, while quite extended, never draws attention to itself and can be very delicate when the source materials allows it. The mids, however, are another matter. The ... | |
| Maestro vs. Furutech GTX-D Gold AC Outlets I haven't heard the Furutech GTX-D gold outlets. I do have a couple of the Maestro outlets though as well as the Porter Ports and the Oyaide R1. I had an Oyaide SWO GX but couldn't get rid of it quick enough as it was deficient on the top end, opa... | |
| room dimention question The house that I rent has sloping ceilings and the low point in my secondary listening room is about 7' as well. I found that the low ceiling did exacerbate some midrange glare that I already was having a slight issue with. I ended up stapling foa... | |
| Bi-wiring with different cables for HF and LF? I've been bi-wiring and bi-amping for years using different cables/wires and find it a very useful tool for achieving the sound I want. Some have argued against it.....using wire as a tone control but who cares if it sounds good? You can certainly... | |
| can a new amp amp tame my speakers? An amp upgrade could certainly tame your top end peakiness. I've had some issues with metal domes tweeters in the past trying to balance detail with harshness. The Wyred4Sound ST-500 has a soft top end, gobs of power with good bottom end slam and ... | |
| Need RCA repair Try Moon Audio at moon-audio(dot)comDrew has re-terminated several pairs of interconnects and power cords for me and the service has been quick, professional, and not too expensive. |
