| Vote for best speaker value under 5K$ Mine (or whatever I have at any given time). The reason is because I really like them. | |
| Value Power Cords- LessLoss or Triode Wire Labs? Lessloss cords have been compared favorably to the MAC HC. I use the MAC HC on my tube amp but replaced th MAC I was using on my phono preamp. I use the Soundstring Digital now. | |
| Do Cable Makers Know Their Own Products? Sabai, how about the description "neutral"? How can a cable (or any component) be "more neutral" than another? More or less neutral? To the right or left of neutral? | |
| Do Cable Makers Know Their Own Products? Interesting question. However, since many folks believe cables are system-dependent, how each cable sounds on given system might be completely different than the factory reference system. Can you imagine being the manufacturer, and, after listenin... | |
| Subwoofer connection The sub is not drawing any power from the amp, simply a signal. Once connected, your job is to blend them. | |
| Subwoofer connection The sub has it's own amp, like you said, but I'm just sending a signal not amplification. Amplification goes to the passive speakers. | |
| Subwoofer connection I use the parallel connection for my Abbys and NSM sub. Everything from the speaker taps. This way all speakers see the same signal. From the taps: spades to the speakers, bananas to the sub. | |
| Help me buy some new cables.... Rrog...shhhhhh | |
| Help me buy some new cables.... If you want I/Cs, I've got Vampire Wire AI-2 and CCC-II laying around. Give me a call 309-230-7675. I also use Vampire 12ga CCC speaker wire currently. It's hard to go wrong with continuous cast copper cables. | |
| Dedicated AC Power Line vs. Power Conditioner? It shouldn't be that expensive, assuming there's no structural rebuilding needed. Just to run wires from panel to existing boxes cost me about $300, 150 per line. It old be less if you can find a certified electrician doing side (after hours) jobs... | |
| Dedicated AC Power Line vs. Power Conditioner? I have two next to each other. Having four dedicated Furutech outlets to use exclusively for audio is great. The dedicated outlets are well worth it. | |
| Who uses high end TT setup for vintage records ? My TT is vintage with a couple of upgrades, Mitsubishi LT-30 from 1979. A Grado Sonata 5mv is the cart. I tried a ZYX. I listen to everything from Sinatra-era to current Grace Potter rock. I've listened to classic rock forever. I'm almost 60. My c... | |
| MM Vs MC I moved from a ZYX R-100 to a Grado Sonata a while back. Although he ZYX had a nicely detailed sound, there wasn't enough meat on the bones for me. I've been happy with the slightly less detail and more warmth, especially with vocals. They both ha... | |
| Character of EL-84 amps Sfar, I didn't mean to infer that they were interchangble. By variation, I meant characteristics in sound, nothing more. | |
| Character of EL-84 amps I've been told by a dealer that the 6p1t quartet in my Sophia Baby are a variation of EL84s. I can't verify the info, but the descriptions of the EL84 sound is consistent with what I hear. |
