| Electrical outlet upgrade worth it? Thank you everyone for your comments. I DO believe that upgrades such as outlets, cords, etc. can (and do) make a difference.I just wasn't sure if upgrading an outlet without a dedicated line would do anything. Thank you.Respectfully,Matty | |
| Will t-spades from AP oval 12's fit ? If I recall correctly, the AP 12 spades will work up to 5/16". I am at the mall right now typing from a booth so I can't confirm. God, I need a life!!! | |
| 500 to spend on int.amp,help me match with gear. Creek 4330R MKII, new $599, used would be in your price range.Matty | |
| Cheap Thrills Dynaco A25 vs Sound Dynamics300ti? I haven't heard the 300ti's, but the newer discontinued RTS-3's (approx. $150) sound great for the money! I have a pair in my bedroom hooked up to some old Yamaha stuff and they still sound good. Check out the review(s)here on A'gon.I believe the ... | |
| What was your biggest priority? Mine worked out as follows:Int. amp - 40% (used)Speakers - 30% (new)CD Player - 20% (new)Cables/IC's - 10% (new)I low-balled on the CD as I want to pick up a better used CDP soon. Also, the cable/IC # will change when I buy PC's for the stock ones... | |
| Manufacturer customer service I do not know enough about this stuff to really comment on a technical level. However, If I took the time and care to put something as extensive as this together, I want it the way that I want it. Period. I myself am very meticulous, not having it... | |
| The Absolute Sound delivery issues I subscribed recently (two issues), I have not had a problem...yet. I don't think I have paid either (bill me option), I probably should check. | |

| MIT cables on Audio Advisor? Are all cables at AA "outdated" cables? I just purchased Analysis Plus Oval 12 and copper IC's. Not that I am worried..... | |
| Quick bi-wire question Thanx for the responses. Yeah, I thought one set of bi-wire cables was the right thing, I just didnt want to have to deal with returning my current set. Luckily, I got them at Audio Advisor so back they go and re-order AA Oval 12 bi-wire set.Thnx ... | |

| Which has a greater effect on music,int.amp or CD? Just a follow up post. Went to NY (Mt. Kisco)today and listened to the ARC integrated and CD w/Hot Rod Kestrals. The ARC's are VERY well built and had a nice smooth sound (a la Kestrals) with Krall, Merchant, etc. However, it didnt do it with rock... | |
| Which has a greater effect on music,int.amp or CD? Add on to my original thread:Would the AR Complete integrated and CD be too much together (towards warm and musical and thus lose detail I want) or since they are made by same company, I am assuming they are made for a synergistic match, and thus ... | |
| Which has a greater effect on music,int.amp or CD? Ohlala, I heard the Arcam 72T w/ Diva A75, as well as the 92T w/ the Diva A85, both through Acoustic Energy Floorstanders. I have also heard the 92T/A85 with Vandersteen 2CE's. To me, they sounded to much "in my face", more detail and forwardness ... |
