| Dedicated line vs. power conditioner My Eletro friend installed two dedicated runs on two new breaker slots with a separate ground from the rest of the house. The improvements were detailed and amazing. He installed some of those Hubbell orange hospital receptacles and I even tried... | |
| Most emotionally involving cables? My emotional well being is boosted by the fact that I have a cable that let's more of the music through and the price did not make me cry. For this, the Harmonic Technology Pro Silway interconnects and the same Pro 11n speaker cable have been sati... | |
| Are Audiophiles Obsessive Nuts? I AM NOT OBSESSIVE. I'M NOT, I'M NOT, I'M NOT. IF I WAS OBSESSIVE I WOULD KNOW IT. Wouldn't I notice obsession on my face in the mirror at even one of the 435 times that I was my hands. If I was obsessing over my audio equipment, I would never be ... | |
| Newbie with "bright" system I think that the Truthlinks are a good choice. Or maybe some Alpha Core Sapphire's. I don't think that I would recommend the X-10D. I does soften up the sound a bit but it muddles the clarity. It is a good fix for the cheapest CD players until you... | |
| Finally gonna buy new speakers, ideas? DYNAUDIO!!!Soundfactor in 3 locations, I prefer the one on Rosemead and Colorado in Pasadena. Also, Atlantic Stereo in Costa Mesa is good. ( A.S. even has a pair of Evidence ). I preferred the Contour 1.3 SE but the 3.3 and Confidence 3 are fantas... | |
| Budget amp advice One amp that I had used for a few years while I had a pair of NHT 2.9's was the Acurus A-150. You can find them cheap on Audiogon for $300 to $400. I purchased two and biamped with fabulous results. It is a lot of bang for the buck. Plus it is mad... | |
| Best headphones under 800.00 USD I have the HD-600's with the Musical Fidelity XCANSv2 and power supply. I am extremely happy. You cannot go wrong with the RS-1's or 2's either, especially with their little battery powered headphone amp. You will just be out twice the money but w... | |
| The "Broken Blue Point Special Club" Well, I haven't broken my BPS on my Project Perspective turntable and sometimes I don't know why. This cartridge on this turntable hangs out like an "ON" switch waiting to be flicked on. But this cartridge is well worth the risk. I received my tur... | |
| Be consistent with brand? After testing different type, brands, and models of cables.For my paticular system, the all one brand approach worked best. Harmonic Tech Pro Silway for interconnects and Pro-11n for speakers, AC11-N for PC. Although I am using a balanced version ... | |
| Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords Yea! Busted!!! | |
| To Sub or not to Sub...? I like the advantage to be able to add a level of bass response as the music moves me ( I got the music in me ).While I enjoy my small monitors and I will never part with them. Sometimes when I am playing some Beck ( Jeff, I can't take the other )... | |
| What causes listener fatique? cure? Oh the joy of staying home from work when you finally found a system that gives you smooth extended highs that you can listen to all day. We are all different! Between working on jet aircraft in the A.F. or tuning many a bracket car with open head... | |
| A good subwoofer I think that the Velodyne HGS-10 and HGS-12 do a fantastic job with music ( there are better ones for HT ). These small Velodyne's use the same motor structure and amp as the 15 and 18 subs. Finding a good position and setting are a bit of work as... | |
| Room too small - any suggestions I would highly recommend the Dynaudio 1.3 SE. You can find them at around $3,000.00 with stands and they are just an all around top performer. I thought that this was going to be a very analytical trip but the highs that come out of this breadbox ... | |
| What Cables - Cleaner Bass I have had great results with my Velodyne HGS-15 and the Harmonic Technology Precision Link inteconnects with XLR's.And they are around $300.00 for the 3 meter set. |
