| Upgrade from Cambridge Audio 840C to lessen glare? I really think you dont have to spend so much $$ to acieve the results you want. Keep the cambridge as a transport and buy a DAC that has a burr brown chipset, this will sound much better and gives it a warm lush full beautiful sound that is much ... | |
| turntable isolation feet I really Like the Isolation system from mapleshade. It uses 4 Iso blocks and a big 2" thick piece of maple and 3 brass footers. All for around $130. I love this under my REGA. | |
| Best Option In A CD/SACD Player Under $1,500.00 I would look at the REGA cd player its a steal at $999.00 | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendation for W4S ST 1000 I 2nd the MODWRIGHT , LS100, or the 36.5 with the external tube based power supply. These preamps will add incredible detail and a very beautiful tone... especially guitar strings. I use a older SWL 9.0 sig edition. I love the tubes in this thing!... | |
| Oppo BDP-105 vs Mcintosh MVP-891 Slnn3r,Hands down the OPPO-105 will crush the McIntosh for Sound quality and you can even have it Modded for Tube output for around $2,000 from Modwright. The Oppo 105 uses the same Saber Dac chipset that is in the McIntosh CD300 ($6,000). I trust... | |
| Denon DL-103 "one of the...." My bad DL-110 is a Denon..lol. I for one don't like carts that require 2.5 grams of force.And all these modified or R versions of the DL-103 is NOT what the post is about. Bottom line is it uses a horrible shaped diamond (round)and it is only a go... | |
| subwoofer Bass in Systems I never heard the full spectrum of sound until I added a REL Britiania series 10" sub to my Dynaudio Contour 3.0's. There is a lot of low level information that you will never hear with most main speakers. I don't like sub woofers they never seem ... | |
| Denon DL-103 "one of the...." No its not! It is however a good cartridge for the $$. It also is high compliance (25x10)and requires a heavy tonearm to operate correctly. If you dont mate it with the correct arm you will be very disappointed.Look at another cartridge like a Ort... | |
| 3 speaker cable options - what to choose? I highly recommend Morrow Audio SP5....I have reffered about 5 people to Morrow Audio and they all love these cables...pay for the break in ..its worth it. | |
| Balanced Cables for McIntosh / Wadia Check out Morrow Audio Cables ,you wont be sorry. Also, Nordost- frey or tyre,Kimber Kable- Silver,hero. These are all accurate, dynamic cables that are also lightning fast.Very non colored sound from these. | |
| Best cables for B&W 802Diamond L100,Your system is pretty warm already so I would stick to cables that wont add to that. Nordost would be good. Morrow Audio Cables are fantastic.Stay away from cables with boxes on them.Kimber Kable 12tc is excellent also. I hope this helps. | |
| MSB vs Wadia vs Reymo vs Meitner I recommend the MSB. Best bang for the buck IMO. | |
| How about Mac and Accuphase You have to be careful when buying Mac gear, many of their units dont sound that great. McIntosh makes a great tube amp the MC275 and the solid state MC352,two great sounding and wonderfully designed amps. They made a few Preamps that sound great ... | |
| What would you do? You could change the rca cable and power cable to a better one...its easy to solder a new set in.Morrow audio sells awesome cables that you can order bare wire on one end and eichman copper rca's on the other.I used Morrow Audio cables on a Thorne... | |
| Dynaudio contour with 30 watt amp These speakers dont work well with tube amps, period. You should consider a quality solid state amp with at least 75watts-100watts. Dynaudio Contour series love power. |
