| Stunned by a cable upgrade Gunbei, yes use Absolute cords with your Monster HTS 2000,you only need 3 for your system, CDP, BC Dac 1.1, Sim MoonI-5, $150 total. I know it sounds like I am hyping but these cords are amazing, you will not regret it IMO. | |
| Stunned by a cable upgrade Gunbei you are on the right road, Oval 9 are the most natural sounding cables in their price range I have heard, allow a full week of burn in to hear them really blossom.I bi-wire with double runs of Oval 9 because they are so cheap, keep your eye... | |
| Warm sounding ss power amps Very few modern quality SS amps are bright sounding, the single biggest cause of treble problems in a CD based system is you DAC, getting a quality DAC with smooth filtering will do more than anything else to give you a smooth clean relaxed treble... | |

| Absolutely Amazing Absolute Power Cords JD tell me where I can buy a $3 cord that sounds as good as the best $250-500 audiophile cords available, because that is how good the Absolute Power cords are IMO, and I have tried quite a few in that price range. Just because you can buy a cord ... | |
| Bel Canto 1.1 - Convince Me. Standard CD format (redbook) is 16bit/44khz data, BC and others increase this data to 24bit/96 khz by upsampling standard CD which when done right with proper technology/design sounds much better and more natural than 16/44 ever could. New chips a... | |
| Bel Canto 1.1 - Convince Me. A follow-up e-mail from BC regarding my question about any future new DAC design using 24/192 up sampling.>>Dear Sam, I didn't respond to the second half of your email. Here goes; We are always looking into new technologies and we are curren... | |

| Best speakers for my integrated amplifie I own many Musical Fidelity pieces, and I would look at PSB Gold-i which lists new well under $3000 and is heavily discounted because of currency difference between US and Canada. Has powerful deep bass, the 150 watt A300 should have the muscle to... | |

| Essential Classical Most people, myself included, have the Phillips Davis/Concertgebouw Orch (CBO) CD from 1/1974, always near the top of the list of most reviewers. I saw the new Phillips series you are talking about, "50 years of great recording?" mid price with 24... | |
| Absolute Power Cord does the trick OK, time for some details about this cable. It is 8ft lengthonly, 14awg and looks like a cheap heavy duty extension cordyou get at the hardware store, even comes tied in the centerlike an extension cord, looks like a $39 cable. Looks can be deceiv... | |
| Cones vs. factory spikes? Most factory spikes are just threaded rod ground to a point on one end with locking nut, almost an afterthought. I use "collossial" Polycrystal cones which are 2" tall brass coated with polycrystal material. Does clearly provide better sound all a... | |
| REM remastered? Fortunately most standard REM Aluminum CDs have decent sound quality and some are very good, good thing because they have many great CDs! There are some MFSL gold REM Cds available, as others have stated, for a premium price.I have not heard them ... | |
| I am stunned I have posted this in other bi-wire threads, but for speakers designed for bi-wire the only consideration for the customer is does the additional cost of bi-wire ($500 + $500) sound better than a more expensive single run of speaker cable ($1000) ... |
