| Silver interconnects & copper speaker cable O.K. ? I use silver IC's and copper speaker cables and am happy with the results. I at some point will try silver speaker cables, but need to save up enough $$$ to do so. I want to upgrade my CDP first though.Regards, | |
| Creek 5350/5350SE U-bar jumpers I agree about the US distributor (Music Hall USA), they are not very customer service oriented. While I like my set up very much, when I upgrade I will not be purchasing any more from them because of this. | |
| Comments on Antenna Perf Specialties FM Antenna I do not use their product as I live in an apartment but just a FYI - APS is considered one of the premier antenna companies out there. Ed is a great guy with much experience. I purchased a modded Sansui tuner from him and am completely happy with... | |
| Suggestions for Spendor 3/5 Creek 5350SE or other UK integrated (Arcam, etc.)Regards, | |
| Creek 5350/5350SE U-bar jumpers Go with Tara Labs "Missing Link" or Audioquest Python jumpers. About $25 for each new. I prefer the Tara with my 5350SE.Regards, | |
| Rotel RCD-1070 For what it is worth:I demo'ed the 1070 along with the integrated amp, hooked up to some B&W's,. I thought the sound was quite good and very nearly purchased the cd and amp. Very clean sound with nice resolution. Build quality is excellent and... | |

I haven't compared it to others though.Are you in an apartment or do you have a place with an attic, crawl space, etc.? If you do, Antenna Performance Specialties (APS) has an in... | |
| Did I make a mistake with my Nautilus 805? Audiobugged,You have become the Dixie Chicks of A'gon!I believe in second chances. While your comments are in fact questionable, I do not think we should "hang em high" just yet. You do have good feedback. Just understand how they reflect on you a... | |

| just got a rega mira 2000...need a good cdp I think either choice would be a good match. I have not heard the Rega CDP, but I do have the Music Hall matched up with a Creek amp and Epos M12's. I think it is quite a good player, it plays HDCD's to boot! I would suggest you audition one if yo... | |
| Need inexpensive power line conditioner guidance. Vansevers SuperCompanion, $150 I think. 6 Outlets, detachable PC, digital filter/separation, parallel filter for your amp, surge protection. | |
| Music Reccommendations?? Ok,For blues, any of the most recent Etta James recordings are very good I think. Also, Sam McClain XRCD "Given it up For Love" (or any of his), Alot of the Robert Cray releases are good; Sweet Potato Pie, Midnight Stroll, I Was Warned, Some Rainy... | |
| Which artists do you just not get? Dave Matthews. Great band backing him up but I wouldn't miss him if he left. Reminds me of a chicken clucking.Regards, | |
| do, mfsl, dcc or gold cds really sound better? Well, for starters, definitely pick up some HDCD's. They sound very good. I have limited exposure to MFSL's. Two things I would state from my experience with these, they sound more "analog" if that is an appropriate description. Also, just like re... |
