| Speaker Cable and Interconnects under $1000 Unless $1000 is mandatory, I would heartily recommend the Signal Cable Silver Resolution line, based on personal experience. Save the rest of the $$s and purchase more music with that.Signal Cable Silver Resolution | |
| Totem vs Audio Physic / Schweikert JW,You resurrected a topic from 7 years back!! I remember those days when I was auditioning loudspeakers like crazy!! With much experience, all I can say is the Totems like real power to show off their best. | |
| CD player output volume? You should check the spec on both player's output. Most are 2~2.5 V RMS through RCA and > 3.5 V RMS through XLR. Some do only 2~2.5 V RMS even through XLR.Maybe the Rotel had significantly more VRMS than the Grant Fidelity? Were you using XLR o... | |
| Stabilizers and footers You should checkout Herbie's Audio Lab. | |
| Totem Sttaf and Parasound halo A21 or A23 I would SURELY do the A21 in that room. That combo would be fantastic!! You can move the Staffs well into the room, away from all the boundaries. | |
| Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following Are you guys referring to Vapor Audio when you mention "certain speaker builder"? Vapor and EA's MMMicro Ones are on my future audition list. | |
| bi-wire vs jumpers Depends. My system benefited more with bi-wires than jumpers. I heard much more "openness" and resolution with bi-wires, compared to jumpers. YMMV. | |
| Time of listening session? 95% of the time, late night, generally after 9:30pm. 50% of this time, the 2 year old wants to sit on my lap and fall asleep. This is the first 15 mins. After that it is all by myself. If I am home and kids want to listen to some of their songs, t... | |
| In need of a powercord I have the MagicPower in my system and pretty happy with it. You cannot go wrong with Signal Cable. | |
| Are you still playing CDs after, comp based syst? I use my CDP and will wait for the Computer based systems to mature. Would like to wait till we have "affordable" NAND/Flash based storage in the 2-4TB range.Currently researching transports and DACs available. What I would like:-To get a "transpo... | |
| How to choose the kind of cables for your system? I think you need to audition the Silver Resolutions from Signal Cables. Very reasonable and outstanding performance. Talk to John, he can suggest you based on your equipment and requirement. | |
| Which is a better speakers choice? Xtian,My system doesnt have the weight and body..The last post immediately stuck to me that you are missing the correct "gain" in your system. Then I checked the spec on the ProAc and find that they slightly less efficient speakers. I have had sim... | |
| 12' x 14' room; $10k budget for speakers; help Snopro,I was about to suggest OP that he should audition the MMMicros or the Vapors that have been getting rave reviews. But noticed that he NEEDs to spend $8K to $10k.I second Rlwainwright's advise. | |
| Possibly controversial: Totem arro overrated? Could be the room and placement. I have heard them before and they are nice little speakers. Maybe the MLs suit your room better. Good for you, that you found what you have been missing all along. Enjoy your music. | |
| No love. Why? I say, replace your Paradigms with Evolution Acoustics MMMicro Ones and let me know what people comment. There will ALWAYS be [at least] one person on forums who will not like them or any other speakers/components. So why care? Live your life the ... |
