Talon Audio Khorus??? Jim I see where Oliver at Delve Audio has these as part of his "high end" recommended system (#3), must be very efficient because he is powering them with 12w SET amp. Delve has them for $12,600 a pair, way beyond my price range. I also saw at ste... | |
Perentage system $$ for speakers I say it is a sliding scale depending on system total value. For $5000 system only 25% for speakers as you need to spend more money for good source CDP/Turntable. For $20,000 system or higher you may have 25% to 50% on speakers as you lready now h... | |
Biwire questions - Best cable for Snook, may I direct to Vanderstein Speaker site where they have in depth explanation of their experiments with bi-wire and why it improves sound in speakers designed for bi-wire use: http://www.vandersteen.com/pages/Answr7.htm This is very in dept... | |
best inerconnect $300 to $400 Fpeel I concour your analysis of HT ProSilway II, I have some in my "collection", 3D soundstage is excellent and very smooth for silver cable, I must look into these Coincident cables more.......$299 is reasonable if fellow members here correct ab... | |
best inerconnect $300 to $400 Brulee and other august members, what dealer are you using as source for Coincident ICs and do they have home trail peroid with no penalty? Cable Co has no listing for these and they carry most lines.....also have you seen any reviews for these in... | |
AP Copper Oval ICs Dbear, we have almost the same IC collection. I am using AP copper oval IC from CDP to preamp and HT Truthlink IC from preamp to amp, speaker cables are AP Oval 9 double runs. The truthlink I believe has a little more treble energy than AP copper,... | |
Biwire questions - Best cable for TM you ask good questions, with single cable obviuosly all freq are present in cable going to speaker, but the bass freq have much more energy than mid & treble and can cause distortion in these delicate areas. When speaker is designed as biwi... | |
MF A3cr Preamp Review Dusty, what system are you using A3cr in? Do you own other MF products or is this your first purchase? Sam BTW I own several MF pieces, and will probably be buying A3cr set to add to collection. | |
Biwire questions - Best cable for Trelja again has words of wisdom, I forgot my cable recommendation at this price for new cable would be Analysis Plus Oval 12 or try shorter cables and got to AP Oval 9. For used the AQ indigo/midnight/forest lines are good and readily available o... | |
Biwire questions - Best cable for Most "experts" say bi-wire is better sound, and if your speaker Manf. went through the extra effort and cost to provide this cabability you should take advantage. Bi-wiring reduces distortion in mids and treble, for detailed explanation why go to ... | |
CD other tweaks Monroe two of my favorite places for tweaks are Galen Carol Audio, http://www.gcaudio.com/gcasteals.html, and of course Cable Co who sells almost any tweak under the sun, http://www.fatwyre.com/products.html Sluggo why settle for "adequate" CDs wh... | |
CD other tweaks Sean, you must try Auric, especially useful on your typical rock/alt CD which don't have the best recording to begin with. Will make them much more listenable on high resolutiuon system......I think I will hold off on A.D. CD lathe for now, I may ... | |
AP Copper Oval ICs Dbear, my only slight reservation about AP copper oval as I hinted at above is not the midrange, but treble is so smooth and natural it slightly lacks the "sparkle" and bite that is present in other cables, rounding of the spires so to speak. I am... | |
CD player tweaks Auric Illuminator best CD treatment I've tried. Skip the CD mats, I've tried several including Audioprism and they have no positive effect on sound, Sam | |
CD other tweaks Sean, Cable Co has been trying to convince me to get the Audio Desk CD lathe but it is a very expensive tweak and obviously irreversable if you change your mind. Sanding the edges of CD is similar to blackening edges, trying to minimize light scat... |
