| Audio Aero Capitole CDP Remote @jafant thanks! | |
| Audio Aero Capitole CDP Remote Thanks @noromance. I did see this, but I’m hoping to find an actual ‘Audio Aero’ remote (like the one that I have), and not a TV remote (like this one), that will work for the Capitole. However, if I can’t find an Audio Aero remote, I will get t... | |
| New cables - To judge now or after burn in period? It’s easy…if they sound good ‘out of the box’, then let ‘em brake-in. If they don’t, move on. | |
| First tube preamp recommendations (under $5k) Audible Illusions. L3A (which is what I own) or the newer L3B. These are line stage only, that use only 2 6H23 tubes. Or, if you want phono stage included, M3A, or the newer M3B (4 6H23 tubes).ive owned my L3A now for about 5 years, and have not... | |
| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt Clayton M-100’s | |
| Favorite cable brand. High Fidelity Cable. Each, and every time I added a HFC cable (or anything made but HFC) in to my system it just got better. | |
| Class D for a Tube Lover Out of curiosity, and after reading some very favorable reviews, I purchased a NewClear NC1000L. I was interested in seeing just how Class D sounds. Bottom line, this is an incredible amplifier, period. Beautiful tonality, unbelievable dynamic... | |
| Audio Magic power cords Hello drove,I currently own two “Audio Magic” Black Thunder power cords. Originally, I purchased them to power two REL subwoofers, but now, I am using one on my power amp. The Black Thunder power cable is surprisingly good. It really doesn’t ad... | |
| Speaker Upgrade Recommendation for Current Analog System - under $10,000 Budget I absolutely love my Legacy Focus SE’s. They are truly wonderful speakers in every way. | |
| Warm, rich but detailed SS preamp (made you give up tubes) For what it’s worth, I really love my Audible Illusions L3. No, it’s not SS, but has only 2 tubes. Engaging (you’ll want to listen for hours and hours), warm (but not slow), spacious (lots of air, wide, deep soundstage). Doesn’t cost an arm and... | |
| Should I use long interconnects, or long speaker cables? @tvad I appreciate your suggestions. I’ve already tried the spring route, and that was no help (however, I used the springs under my two subs, and what a nice improvement I received). I believe that the feedback is acoustic in nature (not being ... | |
| What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby? My costliest mistake, not buying a copy of Donald Fagen’s, ‘Nightfly’ vinyl album (Mobile Fidelity’s, 1step Process). At the time that it was available, it cost $125. Now, it’s out of circulation. You can still get a copy, but they’re going for $4... | |
| What isolation feet under your amp with great result? Without a doubt, Symposium Acoustics ROLLER Block HDSE. When I first purchased them, I expected some improvement, but when I installed them I got huge Improvements in air, soundstage (both width and depth), and clarity. It literally was one of t... | |
| Are the Alpha Core Goertz AG-3 Divinity pure silver cables any good? I own the Goertz AG-2’s, and I like them very much. Clean, fast, open, transparent, huge soundstage. They are neutral, but not thin or harsh (as long as what’s in front of them isn’t thin or harsh). | |
