Sain line system cables a hidden giant killer.
jmcgrogan2/bdp24/infection,Read my post again. I have no issues with even $20k interconnects. But don't call them "giant killer". Their prices are "giants" by themselves. The title of this post is not correct. 
Redbook Keeps Surprising
Redbook Keeps Surprising....What is more surprising is that the thread gets hijacked and becomes which "type" of DAC is better - DS or R-2R.I love the CD playback on my simple Teac player or even the good old Oppo 970H. Yes, the Teac sounds better... 
Sain line system cables a hidden giant killer.
Wow, they do have insane prices. Try Clear Day. Those are "giant killers". If you would have referred to a interconnect between $500 to $1000 for a 3 feet pair that would replace a $5k interconnect, then that would be a "giant killer". Check out t... 
XLR-Balanced Hybrid Hi-End Cable
Signal Cable's Silver Resolution is a nice "hybrid" that you can check out. I used to own these and they are really good cables. But when I switched to ClearDay Silvers, it was a major upgrade in sound. I did not experience any "shiny" bass. But I... 
Proac D48R
Ron,Congratulations on the new ProAcs. I would love top see the D30R loudspeakers in your system. Care to post some pictures so that I can drool over?Thanks!:-) 
Need feedback on loudspeakers
So, I visited the local dealer to audition Revel and Totem. Unfortunately the F208 and Forest Signatures were not available. But I auditioned the F206 instead, with the CDs I bought along. I really liked the F206. It did not sound forward, had amp... 
Silverline Speakers Minuet Supreme Plus - Sonatina MKIV
Interesting thread on the Silverline Sonatina. I am searching for a loudspeaker with good efficiency and the Sonatina checks on all the requirements - high efficiency, near full range, 8 ohms nominal, etc. What other loudspeakers did you guys comp... 
Need feedback on loudspeakers
Thanks for the recommendation bassdude. I agree that not all "big names" offer real value. That is why you see the TVC in my system. But some "big names" do deliver the value in spades. Hence you see the other components. I try to listen to the co... 
The next step to a better system
meambler,You might not like my answer, since it will not answer your digital or analog side. I have found that two of the biggest improvements that you can get in a system are:1. Proper AND precise placements of loudspeakers in the room2. Room tre... 
Structural beam in middle of listening room
I am with swampwalker. The beam in front would be a big issue, especially since the symmetry of the sound waves would be compromised. The beam behind your head is alright and you can manage with treating it with some sort of acoustic treatment.You... 
Need feedback on loudspeakers
tdimler,That was supposed to happen today. Unfortunately could not go visit the local dealer who has them, I believe. But will certainly check them out. And yes, it is the same dealer from where I got my A21. Thanks for the recommendation. 
Need feedback on loudspeakers
pennsy ,Also wanted to point out that most folks don't "get" the loudspeaker positions correct in their room. Precise measurements make a HUGE difference. Amplifiers are a distant third/fourth when compared to things like positioning your loudsp... 
Need feedback on loudspeakers
Thanks knownothing.hm1, I am hoping to audition the Spendor at some point. Really interested. Way back in 2005, I spoke to a dealer in the Bay Area and for some reason he kind of said that Spendors have peculiar sound that you either like or don't... 
Need feedback on loudspeakers
To an extent, yes stringreen. One thing is, because of the TVC, I really need to take care of the loudspeaker sensitivity. A loudspeaker with low efficiency might sound great in a system that has a powerful amp and an active linestage. But it migh... 
Need feedback on loudspeakers
Any feedbacks from Revel/Audio Physic/PMC owners?
