| Power cords or power conditioner In my direct experience, the addition of a good power conditioner/regenerator can and probably will increase the dimensionality of your system. My PS Audio P600 died a couple years ago and NOBODY wanted to fix it. I plugged my amps, sources, and... | |
| Do older power cables still hold up to newer ones? Which BMI Whales do you have, the Elites or Supremes? I've had both with the Supremes being much better to my ear. One area where the older cords can fall short is in the quality of their plugs. Many companies/builders were using (and some stil... | |
| Regular interconnect or digital? boxcarman: technically, I'm sure that what's been said here is true but you asked about sound quality. With regards to that only, you can certainly use a regular interconnect and get at-least comparable SQ. When I purchased my first separate DA... | |
| Any tricks to remove drivers from a (sticky) cabinet I've had similar problems and found that, with some speakers, it's easiest to remove the binding post plate in the back and push the drivers out from the rear. Usually, this will allow me to remove the woofer(s) and the I can reach my arm up thro... | |
| Question about byamplification plga--I used a similar amp to yours, the JAS Array 2.1, also using 300B and 805 tubes for several years. I used it in a biamp set up using Legacy Focus clones and it drove the midbass, midrange, and tweeters beautifully. I never ran it full ran... | |
| Audiophile Grade Wall Receptacle I tried a few different outlets in my old PS Audio P600 and then tried them in the wall as well. My P600 came with the orange hospital grade outlets. Originally, I bought an Oyaide SWO-GX and an R1. The gold plated GX was marginally better than... | |
| XLR question for bass Ah, I re-read and yes, there are plenty of interconnects that can tighten up the bass range. I have no experience with your interconnects but I have found that gold and some copper can sound loose or excessive. I'm using mostly silver wire in my... | |
| XLR question for bass So, is your question about whether other balanced interconnects can improve your bass quality? And what are you hearing that you don't like? What improvement(s) are you seeking in the bass range? | |
| Do good power cords have to be stiff? I've gone mostly to DIY power cords which are quite unwieldy but, back in the day, I found the offerings from Wolff and 6Sons Audio to be both very good and quite flexible. 6Sons Audio Golden Eagle is the best power cord I've heard. Neither come... | |
| Biamp question I have a pair of custom speakers that are very similar in design to the Legacy Focus using Eton drivers on top and Peerless 1259 12" woofers. The Peerless are a bit less efficient so bi-amping is pretty much a necessity. I've used the internal c... | |
| Little Dot D300----anyone heard these monoblock amps Thanks russ69 but I'm looking for something on the cheap. My main amp currently is the Red Dragon S500 so I'm definitely on the Class D bandwagon. It would be nice though to find a decent (cheap) amp for another system or to power the woofers in... | |
| Class D recommendations for woofers in biamp set-up---size matters Hello Douglas, Thanks for the recommendation. I've been a follower of yours for quite some time having purchased both the bridged Pathos Classic MK III and the Cambridge 840W. Both were quite good. The Legacy looks very interesting but the ... | |
| Class D recommendations for woofers in biamp set-up---size matters Class D (amps) to power the woofers only--thanks | |
| Need decent mini-tuner in silver better than Cyrus FM X Haven't made any attempt to integrate the stereo with the computer. Yep, must be old school like that and so yes, fuzztone, I am stuck in the 20th century. What of it? | |
| Power cord choice? You could keep the Polestar and simply upgrade the plugs. I checked another post from you and it looks like those power cords use the Oyaide 029. Going to the 046 or 004 should increase detail and improve the soundstaging. I think the 004 is th... |
