| Outboard crossover box location?? Thank you for the response Aarsoe. I am currently running 3 lengths of 15 feet long speaker cables from my amp to the speakers, which have the crossovers inside them. Long story short, moving the crossovers to an external box is the last step in a... | |
| Aragon 4004MKII upgrade,Aragon 3005 or Rotel 1095? The 4004MkII is IMO still a good sounding amp compared to comparably priced amps these days. Have you considered keeping the Aragon and adding a 3-channel amp such as an Acurus A-200x3? That would be a cost effective way to maintain your good soun... | |
| Anyone know of any cryoed speaker wire? VH Audio promotes and sells the same star quad cryo'ed wire used in the Flavor 4 power cords as speaker wire. According to the website; "THIS WIRE IS ALSO HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR USE AS SPEAKER CABLE." I have a pair 15 feet long with the Furutech g... | |

| Worst mismatches in equipment: your warnings Interesting response from Jeffloistarca, I also have the BAT Vk-500 with Alon V/Circe's and had a similar experience with Cardas Neutral Reference. Surprisingly the DH Labs Q-10 provide a cleaner, more open and more dynamic sound, only bettered by... | |
| Powercords $1000 that beat VH Audio cords Krisgel, a couple of thoughts before you give up on a pretty good VH Audio cord and start cycling $1,000 cords.1. As mentioned above, installing dedicated lines and using good power conditioning will go a long way towards your goals.2. I second (o... | |
| Guilty Pleasures? Mike, did he still have that skull on the top of the piano? Some of the stuff is a little repetitive, but the overall is well worth it, that old dude can really play. A personal favorite is his covers of Duke Ellington tunes, on a disc called Duke... | |
| Best copper interconnect cables Damn, Matty, I was hoping nobody would think of Luminous since I have a "wanted" posting for a 1.5 to 2 M balanced pair of IC's. I have one pair and they sound great in my system, so I am looking for a second pair to replace my Golden Reference (w... | |
| BAT Solid State Amps? Check out their website where they discuss design features and have reviews posted for their previous models. I do not remember seeing any reviews on the newer models yet, although knowing the work of the designer, I assume they are as good or bet... | |
| Guilty Pleasures? Doctor John playin that funky stuff, oh and a second on the Boxcar Willie. Even talked a couple of friends into seeing the good doctor live this year! | |

| Need advise to help make quality bal cables for vendors look at Homegrown Audio, Chris VH, and maybe the Vampire cable websites. I believe these all sell wire you could use to DIY XLR IC's. There are also a number of vendors who sell DIY type cables already pre made. In particular the Eleme... | |
| Need help for ALON I problem New website with contact information is at following link.http://www.nolaspeakers.com/Carl has always been responsive to me, maybe they are at a show or on a vacation. If they no longer make the midrange for the Model 1, maybe you could upgrade bo... | |
| Has anyone here tried Element Speaker Cables? Interesting review, and encouraging for DIY enthusiasts. However, the reviewer kept his comparisions to other internet based cables, River Cable's Flexygy and the (sort of) DIY design Signal cables. I am running a tri-wire set of Jon Risch's cross... | |
| Adding subwoofer to Full-Ragne Speakers question Swampwalker gave a good answer. In addition to the amp issues he explained, I believe his #2 comments have to do with the main bass driver not trying to move as much air if the LF is cut off. Therefore, the excursion of the bass driver will be les... |
