| Can someone give me an explaination re: power amp. Hi Blazerfan -I have the same view that Bob Reynolds posted "regarding a high-current amp and its impact on low volume listening".I do not see the connection either. What Preamp were you driving the w-3 with??Your Speakers do not seem to be a toug... | |
| harmonic technology ac 11 power cord on classe For me I would put the more expensive cable on the Amp first.But, if it sounds better on the CD player, then...it does not really matter.Where does it sound better? | |
| Anyone heard the Nordost Odin cables ? For a total cable loom cost of over 75K it better include a kitchen and bath re-model along with your playstation "coming to life" ;o)Will need that included if I was going to sell that stereo upgrade to my wife when I ask to mortgage the house fo... | |
| Anyone heard the Nordost Odin cables ? You got that right Ebm.Roughly 15K for an interconnect and 20K for a speaker cable. In your basic CD - Preamp - Amp - Speaker setup you are talking ~ 50K for wire...to include power cables over 75 thousand dollars.Wow! | |
| Ayon spirit vs audio research vsi-60 Hi Maverick -I have heard the vsi-60 mated with ProAc D15's and I really had no complaints other then I thought that the top end was kind of hot - which may have been cabling or the ProAc. Great bass, great soundstage , crystal clear and detailed.... | |
| Thoughts on upgrading AR vsi55 to Ayon Hi Jimphd14 -How hot does that baby run? I read somewhere that the Spirit runs pretty warm, and that has 4 less power tubes.For myself I was looking into acquiring the Vs55 - my worry is that living here in South Florida it gets pretty toasty if t... | |
| Buying Synergistic Research ICs so difficult Hi Adhaney -I recently auditioned the SR Accelerators and the Vortex which was just discontinued.Fplanner2000 is correct - each level is designed for different applications.When I inserted the Vortex in my system (Spendor speakers) the presentatio... | |
| Arcam cd36 vs perraux dac I agree with Coffeey. I own the CD36 as well and am very pleased with it. Although I have not done any great compare/showdowns with CD players... I too have found changing your pre-amp and/or amp will give you a better bang for your buck as far as... | |
| Audio Research Reference 5 Preamp Hi Russellrcncom, yep, I agree with you on all points.I guess my main point in this( looking back I misread a post...sorry guys) but in this economy, especially on wall street NY, NJ and LA where the high $$ incomes have gone down the tubes, the l... | |
| Anyone using "jumper" cables? Hi Karmatogral -I have Spendor S6e's and changed out the copper jumper platethat comes with the speaker, with a soundstring jumper cable...it made a huge difference.Treble was much more detailed and seemed to even out the tonal balance of the enti... | |
| Audio Research Reference 5 Preamp Oh, I understand the "like a drug addiction" aspect :o) Trust me.For me I am just trying to understand the escalating costs of these components, especially in this crappy economy. Are people still able to fork out 12K for a pre-amp??Even with a sa... | |
| Audio Research Reference 5 Preamp I read the discussion on AVguide as well on the Ref 5.While I am sure it will be glowing review when they (TAS and Stereophile) review it as soon as it goes to production.How could it not be?Sorry, but I cannot help but think...this is a 12K + uni... | |
| harmonic technology ac 11 power cord on classe You're welcome.I was surprised as well. I really thought that it would be noticeable improvement due to the price difference over the Shunyata Diamondback...but I could not really discern anything other then a smidge on the CD player.With these ty... | |
| harmonic technology ac 11 power cord on classe Hello Kadam -I have not auditioned the AC-11, however...I have a Classe CA-101 and oh, about 2 years ago I tried the AC-10 on my Amp, CD player (Arcam CD-36), Preamp (Quicksilver-RCL).I found that compared to the Shunyata Diamondback I had through... |
