| Power cables for PassLabs preamp and poweramp Of the amps brand I've owned (Pass, Conrad Johnson, Cary, Bel Canto, Acurus), PCs made the least impact on my Pass; which came as a welcome relief. | |
| Whats a good all around digital cable for under $250. I only need half a meter. Creative Cable Green Hornet...I have one and also have a Nordost Valhalla...although the Valhalla is more extended and airy with a snappier mid, the Green Hornet is just as smooth (in my rig) and I actually prefer it on my Sonos.if you need Toslin... | |
| Tesla Plex SE by Synergistic Research. Mapman, have you tried one of these fuses in your bel canto gear?Any diff? | |
| Concert Experience for $5k? I heard the big Focal Aria speakers (948 I believe) and found them to be about as full-range, rock-out as it gets these days; the porting on the bottom gave ’em that "thud" from the kick drum sound...As for high-sensitivity 8 ohm speakers I’ve own... | |
| Power Cables For amps, I have used all iterations and generations of PS Audio cables. Currently running AC-12 and love it. (I'm using all Shunyata for my front end). I don't know much about electrical engineering, but keeping it simple with high quality copper... | |
| Looking for the good sounding Pre Amplifier I’ve owned Cary, Ayre and Parasound. Ayre was too polite for my tastes...Currently have a Primaluna Dialogue Premium and it is phenomenal. It will not be leaving my rig any time soon.The used BAT ideas is also worth considering. Excellent soundsta... | |
| power amplifier suggestions with BelCanto Dac3 I had a Bryston with my DAC 2.5 and found it to be too bright and "etched," as some might say; so, I popped in the Ref500s which fleshed out the harmonics and has a fuller mid-range presentation. I put a PS Audio AC-12 on the Ref500s and that gave... | |
| I Can't Understand What I Read. Tell Me What Airplay Streamer/Receiver I Should Get? You could get an Audioengine bluetooth receiver for $200 bucks and stream tidal from your phone/iPhone (if the pre does not have a volume control, I believe you could set Tidal to variable volume and use the phone’s volume up/down). Or, you could ... | |
| power amplifier suggestions with BelCanto Dac3 I have a DAC 2.5 paired with a Ref500s....they are great together, but magic really happened when I added a Primaluna Dialogue Premium preamp... | |
| Electric Interference + Line / Surge Conditioning Thank you. I'll check this out.The really, really odd thing is that it's only one of the burners..not all 4 that causes thing. | |
| Speaker cable suggestions I'll second the Au24 + Au24se. Remarkable clarity and frequency extension; loads of detail in my system, and they seem flat across all frequencies to me - creating a very cohesive experience. | |
| Vincent SV236MK Dry and bright? Funny about the power-cable fix, I keep an old, 1M run of PS Audio Xstream Statement SC laying around for exactly this reason. | |
| Monitor Audio GX100 - How tough to drive? I had the GX200 and drove them with both a Pathos integrated and Bel Canto Integrated. I know it's not apples-to-apples with the GX100, but the Bel Canto-GX200 combo had so much low end, I actually got rid of my sub woofer.I also had the RX6 and f... | |
| Best way to steam audio from PC to analog receiver I have had Audioengine, Yamaha (coax out only) and Nuforce bluetooth receivers plugged into an integrated or dac. All fit the bill for me. |
