| Speaker cable and brightness control I had DH Labs Revelation and didn't like them one bit. In my system they sounded hard, brittle, and pushed everything to the front of the soundstage. Agree about the construction. though; they had some really nice locking RCA connections. | |
| Nordost Blue Heaven speaker cable..what a delusion I loved the Flatline II with some (very bright leaning) B&Ws...better in my application that Kimber. The Flatline sounded live and rich; however I've had the Heimdall (first edition) and found that they were VERY amp dependent. This was kinda ... | |
| Speaker cable and brightness control I have owned several Piega speakers; I believe the ribbon tweeter could be an interesting approach for you. It does not BEAM it dissipates...very smooth. Just something worth thinking about. When I heard the Gallo Reference speakers, I got a simil... | |
| Nordost Frey series 1 or Heimdall series 2? Bo1972, What do you think about the new Heimdall 2 *DIGITAL* interconnect? | |
| Nordost Frey series 1 or Heimdall series 2? I had Heimdall speaker cables (and I'm a big Nordost fan), was using a Cary CAD 200 amp, and did NOT like the combo one bit. I got the sense that these speaker cables are very amp- dependent. IE, the Cary was kinda all about mid and the Heimdalls ... | |
| DAC recommendation for an entry level system Thanks, Tony. I noticed that Spotify sounds better when I run it from my ipod through a Pure (transport) than if I run it off my Squeezebox. Same coax cable, etc. Have no idea why... | |
| DAC recommendation for an entry level system Tony, what's the best (largest?) file you're able to pass from Spotify? Are you running it from the Squeezebox? | |
| DAC recommendation for an entry level system I head the Dac Magic with a Krell integrated and some Soinics speakers...really liked it. I've owned a PS Audio DLIII for many years and got a lot of enjoyment from it. Great build quality. | |
| Interconnect recommendations, please Cool, I've had that same cable-the Kimber; believe I was using it with a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 5i's at the time.I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts on your new ICs..! | |
| Interconnect Cables for Pre-and Power amp I had a Pass X150.5 and an Ayre Pre...I ran Nordost Frey XLRs between them. Loved the combo. | |
| Power cord suggestions? I have owned some Cary gear. If you want to squeeze more bass out of the SLI-80, I'd suggest one of the PS Audio cables. For the CD player, I'd go with Shunyata. Can't speak to Kimber unfortunately | |
| Interconnect recommendations, please I've had the Quadlink 5C (started with Twinlink) and really enjoyed them-especially the midrange; then, I stepped up to the Nordost Hemidall...wow, crazy resolution..!! Then, I stepped up to the Nordost Frey....wow, more crazy resolution and aweso... | |
| Inner connects for cary cd 303T SACD player I had the non-tube version, was using Nordost Heimdall RCAs and an old PS Audio Mini Lab cable. This sounded pretty good to me. I later upgraded to the Frey (but had a difference source component), which was a major step up from the Heimdalls. Wha... | |
| Squeezebox Touch simple 24/192 output mod Got it. Thanks for clarifying. | |
| Squeezebox Touch simple 24/192 output mod Thanks, guys. I may in indeed be confused. Here's the prob I'm having. I installed Enhanced Digital output...and then stream Spotify, but the reading on my DAC only shows 44.1 (I am a Spotify Premium member). If I stream from my TV, it shows 48k (... |
