| Is balanced necessarily better? Another thought I have heard regards phase effects, and the inability of some balanced cable makers to appropriately design cables to resist phase shift, which might be one reason some believe single-ended sounds better for home audio. I heard one... | |
| Is balanced necessarily better? Thanks guys, this is the type of interesting discussion from experienced folks I was hoping this thread would generate. I am in the process of moving equipment around which prompted getting some 3m ics so I can shorten speaker cable runs. I am goi... | |
| Modwright CD player problem...HELP I was going to purchase a magic years ago, but first tried running my cable through my Monster power conditioner that I use for HT only, and that solved the problem. | |
| Preamp impedance mismatch with McCormack DNA2 Ditto what Kal says, the SF Line 2 and 3 SE both sounded great with my DNA500, however they both have quite low output impedence for tube preamps, below 100 ohms in the case of the Line 3. Steve's answer is the conventional "amp input should be at... | |
| Muse Model Nine Signature vs. Model Ten Define "much." Kevin Halverson of Muse told me the Ten was an upgrade over the Nine Sig V4 on redbook CD. The Ten also plays DVD-Audio, and according to Kevin is Muse's top redbook CD player, even better on redbook than the Universal Player Model ... | |
| DIY cables Vs Mass market cables. Out of the responses so far, hardly anyone has provided Aldres with answers to his question, "how DIY cables compare to audio brand speaker cables." I suspect we can be of more help to him. I do agree with Tgrisham that a forum search would yield ... | |

| Benefit of Tri or Quad Wire compared to Bi wire My personal experience is there may be some benefit separating the LF from the MF/HF, but beyond that I would upgrade to a higher quality cable before buying more of a lower quality cable, given the same amount of money to work with. That is what ... | |

| LCD or DLP? Sony's new SXRD, which is a type of LCOS is highly recommended. List for 50 inch is $3999, but you should be able to get 15-20% off that if you know your dealer well. I just purchased the 60 inch version, and it is outstanding. Plasma may be bette... | |
| Leads on mid-1960's Siemens NOS CCa 6922 tubes These should provide a similar sound at much less cost. They were recommended by Chris Johnson at Partsconnexion:http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?accstube&1138768685 | |
| Best DVD player for redbook CD ??? Excellent point KennyT and could be an important issue for some buyers. Since I have upgraded to the Model 10 which does play them, I forgot about that shortcoming. They can be later upgraded, if you are on that path.Swampwalker, I didn't read the... | |
| Best DVD player for redbook CD ??? If you can stretch a bit, or maybe negotiate some, I highly recommend this:http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?homevdeo&1141601810The redbook playback is as good or better than you will find for his asking price. Unfortunately, you missed o... | |
| Future of this hobby? I built my first pair of speakers (Jensen 12 inch triaxials) at age 19 (and still use them today). I saved lawn cutting money for a used (high end trade in) Sansui receiver and played many many albums on a Phillips straight arm turntable(the silve... |
