| Why upgrade transport??? Thanks everyone for your comments and recommendations. As I suspected, I will probably hear a significant difference with a better transport. However, I need to stay within a budget in the ballpark of $1000 used. I have heard great things about a ... | |
| Review: Cardas Golden Reference Interconnect Any comment on comparison of your Cardas Cross vs. Golden Cross? | |
| Alon triwire cable Like Jcass, I also use DH Labs for my Alon V MkII's. I have two separate 15 foot runs of Q10, one for bass and one for mids, and a run of T14 for highs. There are similarities with black orpheus, in that the DH Labs also use silver coated copper w... | |
| New Cable Help-Balanced or Single Ended Additional Information: Thanks for your responses so far. I did some additional checking and the Adcom GFP750 is supposed to have true differential balanced circuitry. Nelson Pass stated "the performance is best when it is run balanced." The DAC 3... | |
| Banana posts for Classe Thanks for the help Mar00, that is probably going to be the best solution for me. I think I will check out WBT since they would probably fit best with my WBT banana plugs. I was curious about your comment that the bolts are steel, since my appear ... | |
| Power Cord Ground Thanks for the help!Tim | |
| Speaker Stand Recommendation I concur with Sc53's recommendation. I have had very good luck using with Sound Anchor stands. The quality is excellent. They have dedicated stands for a wide variety of speakers, stands that work with different styles of speakers, and they will a... | |
| Why so many Flaky Buyers? Hello Kevziek: You have received some good responses to your post here. I would add that the seller has committed to selling an item at a certain price, while the buyer can fall into two categories; those who know exactly what they want and what t... | |
| Homemade floor protectors -- advice needed I use cone coasters by sound anchor (the people who make speaker stands). These disks have a "dimple" in the middle for the point of the spike to set in, and a kevlar/polyester "sandwich" on the bottom, which is easy to slide around. Look them up ... | |
| Assemblage - anyone??? Since I posted this in March, I have broken in my DAC 2.6, with (essential) op-amps and Burr-Brown filter upgrades, and D2D-1. I am sure the 3.1 is a better unit, but the 2.6/D2D-1 combination has been outstanding in my system. I do notice however... | |
| Power cords - snake oil? I have been reading these posts on power cords for a while. As Snooker says, everyone has an opinion. I will make an analogy to an expensive bicycle; manufacturers will cut on the less noticed components (ie. seat post, bars, etc.) to maintain pri... | |
| Adcom GFA 5400 Hello, As with everything else, the value of the amp to you, and the quality of the sound, is relative to your expectations and your associated equipment. My experience with the 5400 is that it was a generally lower end "mid-fi" piece, and in dire... | |
| Bi-amp Integration Thanks everyone for your responses. I will check with Mondial about the input sensitivity of the two amps, they are always helpful. -Tim | |
| Duke Ellington CD Recommendations Not exactly what you asked for, but for something a little funky, Dr. John has a great CD of Duke Ellington music called Duke Elegant. | |
| Spade to Bananas for B W Speakers Monster makes a large variable size 24k gold spade, which they call a turbine spade. It is quite heavy and also has ridges to help hold the post connection tight. They are wide enough for B&W speakers. I use them with 803's. If you are handy w... |
