| Preamp or "U" jumpers: where to buy, choices? From my understanding, the Cable Company makes U-bar replacments as well. I have used both the Audioquest and Tara Labs, I preferred the Tara.Regards, | |
| Epos M12.2 vs. Von Schweikert VR 1 vs. GMA Europas I owned the Epos M12 and the Europa's, kept the Europa's. Regards, | |
| GMA Europa owners.... Oh,I have only had two other speaker cables in my system, AP Oval 12 (OK cables) and Blue Circle BC92 cables (very good cables). Excaliburs were MUCH better, in my system anyway. They provided much more of everything, except maybe bass when compar... | |
| GMA Europa owners.... Jb3,I found the cables to be very linear with excellent extension on both ends. Utmost clarity with a very deep soundstage, very detailed and dead quiet. Natural timbres with no harshness.One example, Eva Cassidy "Live at Blues Alley", some of the... | |
| GMA Europa owners.... Scotty is correct. Roy wires his speakers with Audio Magic and recommends their cables.Disclaimer - I am currently selling a pair of Audio Magic cables.Regards, | |
| Back to Basics with Magical Mini Monitors The Epos are a very good speaker and a bargain at the current pricing. They do what english monitors are known for, PRAT. Midrange is spot on. They have a metal tweeter and can be a little bright though, they need to be paired accordingly. I would... | |
| What power cord would you recommend? I second the Blue Circle power cords, I have both the BC62 and BC61 and completely agree with Sugarbrie's comments.Regards, | |
| Best Monitor speaker - low volume level listening I'll say it, EUROPA's!! Bring it on...:>)Yes, they have very good low level resolution.Regards, | |
| If Money Were No Object... A Fantasy Question Forget hunting for tickets of your favorite artists, for the money I would "hire" the artists to play for me personally at my place, with a different special someone with me of course to impress ;>)Regards, | |
| CD Cutting and / or Trimming You may want to search out Sean on A'gon, I know he has a trimmer and will provide you with all you will ever want to know. I am pretty sure he is a proponent of them. Inexpensive? Not so sure, I think you are talking 5 bills at least.Regards, | |
| Best speakers under $650 The Epos M12's are very good speakers, the AudioAdvisor deal which includes stands and free shipping is a good deal. They are unloading them as there is a version II of Epos that has just come out.Regards, | |
| My Jolida JD100 mod VS Music Hall CD25 mod Too bad you didn't get the Response Audio/Dan Wright modded CD25, they add a tube output stage to the cdp plus some other upgrades. Would seem to be the best of both worlds. I have it and it is great.Regards, | |
| Epos m-15s with tubes?? I would say (and have heard persoanlly) a great match, however, make sure the amp has enough Ummph to drive the speakers properly. While 89db efficient, they do need good power to get the most from them.Regards, | |
| Silver interconnect and Copper spkr wire synergy I have silver IC's (Ridge Street) and copper speaker cables (Blue Circle), they work well together.I do have a pair of Audio Magic Excalibur II (silver) speaker cables on the way to try out though.Regards, | |
| Integrated Amp with A/B Speaker Switch Creek 5350SE has an A/B/Both switch.Regards, |
