| SET vs ICE vs GAINCLONE vs HYBRID vs other? It's been over a year since I originally posted this. I thought I'd offer my experience(s) since then. The Wyred ST-500 is gone. It's excellent for the money and about as hassle-free as it gets but it's not SET nor is it close. I purchased a Patho... | |
| CPD orSACD player w/built in remote volume control Thanks Riley804. I tried a search of the forums before posting but, apparently, I typed in the search wrong because nothing came up. There are some interesting options listed. Mtrot-the Oppos certainly are a decent option, especially modded. I hav... | |
| SET vs ICE vs GAINCLONE vs HYBRID vs other? Can anyone comment on the Valve Audio Predator's resolution and transparency? I briefly had a SIM Audio I-5LE in my system several months back and was quite dismayed at the opaque sound I was getting. I'd heard this was a transparent amp and, in m... | |
| Good, cheap power cord/interconnect for subwoofer I haven't been responsive to the advice offered to this thread and I apologize for that. I've had Mr Baird at Moon Audio build me an umbilical using Cardas Crosslink and have had a problem with the cord (no problem with Moon Audio--highly recommen... | |
| SET vs ICE vs GAINCLONE vs HYBRID vs other? Just wanted to comment on the necessity of having ICE amps (the Wyred ST-500 in particular) powered continuously:I ran the ST-500 for a couple of weeks directly from the wall using both the Sunny Cables and later, the Windigo (about a week each) c... | |
| Good, cheap power cord/interconnect for subwoofer When I indicate sub cables, I'm really talking about regular analog RCA interconnects. The sub's amp/crossover is outboard and uses an umbilical to connect to the subwoofer. I'm having Moon Audio check into upgrading that. I'm just looking for a f... | |
| SET vs ICE vs GAINCLONE vs HYBRID vs other? I'll try the Wyred direct from the wall and leave it powered continuously and see where that leads. I hate to remove it from the PS Audio power plant--the regenerator really helps with focus. Still, that's a free sound experiment so it's worth a s... | |
| SET vs ICE vs GAINCLONE vs HYBRID vs other? I've had the Wyred amp for most of this year and ran it several hours a day the first few weeks to burn it in. I've also ran it extensively burning in a pair of interconnects followed by the new crossovers so it has almost certainly been burned in... | |
| SET vs ICE vs GAINCLONE vs HYBRID vs other? One more thing, I forgot to mention that transparency is a must. It's right up there with resolution and focus. Thanks again----LRC | |
| Good, cheap power cord/interconnect for subwoofer Just wanted to thank all for your input. I've had the sub in the shop for awhile getting a new surround installed and now have the umbilical at Moon Audio checking out options on upgrading this cable as well. Thanks all! | |
| Good, cheap power cord/interconnect for subwoofer I see a couple of recommendations for PS Audio power cords.Is there much of a difference between the lower models and the upper models as far as running a sub-amp goes and how do the older models compare to the more recent and newer cords? I prese... | |
| need warm and LAID BACK hi-rez/focused power cord Sns---A fellow A'goner may do the crossover upgrades though I couldn't possibly afford the kind of caps you mention. I'm certainly out of my league when it comes to $1000 caps. Since I put an Oyaide R1 in the wall and run my power conditioner from... | |
| need warm and LAID BACK hi-rez/focused power cord Rfogel8---If I came across as offended, sorry. I can be rather direct but I wasn't offended; perhaps frustrated though. These speakers replaced a pair of Von SchweikertVR 4 Gen II's and, after I lined them with Dynamat (damping) and wired them int... | |
| need warm and LAID BACK hi-rez/focused power cord I would really like to upgrade the crossovers. It's been on my "to do" list for quite some time. I even shipped them up to Meniscus Audio a couple years back and they said they were just fine the way they were. That doesn't inspire me. Perhaps one... | |
| need warm and LAID BACK hi-rez/focused power cord Rfogel8----I'm in total agreement with you that the metal dome mids & tweeters exacerbate brightness in recordings.I don't believe either the PS Audio P-600, Wyred4Sound ST-500, or Consonance Droplet are bright themselves. I believe my system ... |
