| Does anyone collect something else other than music. Books of 19th/20th century (mostly in French), Vintage camera (taking B&W photos), Pipes (!) and small cellar (~100) of Wine and aged Armagnac (40-60 years old). Life is short and we need to enjoy and live wisely every moment of it... | |
| Naim Audio system owners - What speakers are you using with Naim? I am sorry ... Basil Audio is in Los GAtos, CA!!! | |
| Naim Audio system owners - What speakers are you using with Naim? You may also consider one of Naim speaker Ovator series: Ovator S-400, S-600 or even S-800 (!). I listened a few times those speakers at BASILAUDIO in Los ALtos CA (NAIM dealer and only official repair center of Naim in US), with NAP-250 and NAP-5... | |
| Used McIntosh MX135 or Marantz 8802 @auxinputI did not have a chance to look inside of Marantz AV8804, and I trust you on your experience. Regarding individual discrete analog stages comment, it depends what sort of cap or resistance they are using to make it so affordable. In this ... | |
| Used McIntosh MX135 or Marantz 8802 I used MX-135 for a while in my second system (B&W804s). It has an excellent preamp (with Phono) that could work with any amplifier for surround system or two channel. I was told by a dealer that it uses the same circuitry of Mcintosh c46. I s... | |
| For Blues Fans @n80 Thanks a lot for sharing the link. That's a magnificent and well done documentary. As a Blues music fan I did really enjoy it ... Highly recommended.cheers | |
| Furutech Gold and Copper connector @adi74 I use Furutech GTx-Gold for my AMP and GTX-Rhodium for front end including power conditioner. It seems they are the best among other wall outlets. Audioquest has also a Silver wall outlet which seems to be interesting. | |
| BAT amp users - any fuse recommendations? I put on (6) HiFi Tuning Silverstar in my BAT Vk-600se, the difference compared to OEM fuses was apparent but not that spectacular. I talked to Victor Khomenko and he was not recommending the use of after-market fuses ... | |
| power cord affects on video? Based on my experience, a good quality power cord would definitely improve image quality. Be aware, what sort of AC plug is used. Rhodium or Silver AC plugs (with better emphasis on high frequency!) will surly enhance the details, resolution, 3D e... | |

| Diy interconnects RCA connectors. @dayemot It is very interesting what you did. The only Neotech solid core copper that I am aware of, is NEP-3200 (being a power cord). I was wondering is there any Neotech SOLID CORE copper interconnect cable? Actually I am a fan of Solid core ca... | |
| Diy interconnects RCA connectors. @dayemoDid you have a chance to try Hybrid (Silver-copper) Neotech NEI-3001 MK III wires? If so what is your thought about it?thanks... | |
| The Best AC/ IEC power plug combination. Oyaide, Iego, Neotech @richardhk- AQ NRG-4 has multiple noise dissipation layers, it would be a better choice than 3xNRG1.5. Power cord built up against RFI is more important than purity of its copper conductor. - IEC Rhodium is not a bad idea. I also tried IEGO 8085 ... | |
| The Best AC/ IEC power plug combination. Oyaide, Iego, Neotech @richardhk I use Neotech NC-P313 Male AC and compared with IEGO 8085, it presents a warmer sound and less details. It is a good choice with Neotech Hybrid (copper/Silver) PCs but not with copper PCs like NRG-4. Based on my experience, Using IEGO A... | |
| The Best AC/ IEC power plug combination. Oyaide, Iego, Neotech @richardhk, Regarding IEC / Ac male plugs influence on sound quality, there have been some discussions all around. we are talking about 1 to 3 meter PC.! I found more neural IEC plating plugs, would offer better balanced result. Even IEC pure copp... |
