| Thoughts on the new Mapleshade Hey, what about their comments that their power conditioners have beaten this or that, or their power cords have done the same, to some high end names. Any merit or just marketing? I know nothing about Mapleshade, but receive their catalog, and wa... | |
| How to Biwire? I have an older pair of Paradigms, in the manual they state that bi-wiring is preferable (for Paradigm speakers). Has this changed, not sure. Anyway, they did sound better, I noticed most the increase in bass.MattyYes, remove the jumpers prior to ... | |
| reading and decoding hdcd`s I have a HDCD CDP, Music Hall, and love the HDCD playback. Besides a one-box, you could go the route of a DAC, such as MSB (under $500). They offer a self-install card, I think around $200. If you were going to stay at the level of a Planet though... | |
| Classe owners...Please help with speaker selection I heard the Classe CAP-101 with a pair of B&W CDM 1NT's and thought that it sounded quite nice. It was a very luxurious sound. I only listened for a brief time, not sure if it would become fatiguing or not. I guess it would depend on your list... | |

| Monitor selection I know you narrowed it down, but you may also want to look into Epos M12's. I think they have the exact qualities you are looking for.Matty | |

For it's cost, it is a tough act to beat. Besides it sounding very good with redbook, it's the HDCD that real... | |
| Connect dac to Music Hall CD-25 or upgrade? The Music Hall is a 24/96, would getting the MSB 24/96 provide any benefit?Matty | |
| How many weeks of income did your sys. cost? I wonder what the top Billionaires setups are? Do they shell out the big bucks without a clue, with a clue, or are happy with a circuit city rig? Anybody know?Matty | |
| what are your favorite movie soundtracks. Full Monty!!!!Matty | |
| Connect dac to Music Hall CD-25 or upgrade? Not to "not address" your question but...You really should upgrade your power cords. I have the Music Hall CD25 (horrible stock pc), I put a Blue Circle PC on it and it does make a difference.Matty | |
| Weird question Don't worry about your eyes, the CD player doesn't sit waist high, does it? Matty | |
| Best cd player under $600 used for system I second the Music Hall CDP, very musical while keeping detail. I also LOVE the fact that it plays HDCD CD's too.The Rega gets reviewed well, but from reading I would say it is not at all "bright".Matty | |
| Power Conditioning for a mid-fi system. I have the Vansevers Super Companion, I think it is around $150 new. Has digital and parallel filters, surge protection, 6 isolated outlets and a IEC. Does it make a difference? Not sure, didn't notice any change putting it in. However, they state... |
