| Bookshelf Speakers with “Big” sound? The new Spendor SA-1's are terrific bookshelf speakers. Sound much bigger than their size.Neal | |
| MDF vs. Steel Speaker Stands Thanks to all for very hepful comments. I will contact Skylan and see what they can do.Neal | |
| Best digital interconnect I have tried many digicables, including the Kharma Grand Ref (very good, still use with my Wadia i70 Transport)and Nordost Valhalla (also very good), but have had the Stealth Sextet running from my modded CEC TL-1X to Dodson 218 DAC for the last 3... | |
| Reterminate Powercon to IEC Jake,I did not dislike the Audience eChord that came with the unit, but I thought I could do better. I bought an IEC/Powercon adapter from Voodoo Cable, plugged it in to the conditioner, and then plugged my Elrod Statement PC into the adaptor. (I ... | |
| Power conditioning I think your best bang-for-the-buck in that price range would be an Audience Adept Response Ar1, used for about $300. I use it in my BR system and it made a noticeable improvement in clarity, speed and transparency. I also use the AR6 in my main s... | |
| mcintosh tuner 7082,3,4 I have an MR 80 and I have had several guests who sat in my living room while I was listening to it assume they were listening to a CD. It is exceptional.Neal | |
| Anyone use CD tweaks L'Art du Son fluid has a dramatic effect on CD's. Richer, fuller sound, lest digital sounding. Neal | |
| re-terminate nordost cables...anyone? It's actually more expensive for IC's. I recently paid Nordost $100/end to convert one end of IC's from XLR to RCA. But they did a great job.Neal | |
| The old timers give the young'ns tips on the 60s. Jefferson Airplane's After Bathing at Baxters. Barely recognized, but one of the best of the '60's, and surely their best. Sound quality is pathetic, alas.Neal | |
| Reterminate Powercon to IEC Thanks, Nasaman, I'll check. Neal | |
| re-terminate nordost cables...anyone? Nordost have retermionated my cables 2x and always have been pleasant with prompt turnaround.Neal | |
| Nordost PC - Shiva, Vishnu, or Baldur? I do not think Nordost PC's "suck", as you so poetically put it. I use the Valhalla in my main system and it is excellent. I use a Brahma in my BR system and it is very good. I also have the LessLoss and it is also very good, probably better for a... | |
| Transports and Dac's mix and match Brands I use a CEC TL-1x with Dodson 218 DAC, and previously used the same transport with the DAC you have. No problem mixing and matching, and the CEC is a honey of a transport.Neal | |
| has anyone else heard the wyetech ruby mono block Have never heard any of the Wyetech amps, but can tell you that after more than 5 years of ownership, the Opal pre is one of the most amazing, satisfying components I have owned in more than 35 years of this mania. It is the one component in my sy... | |
| Wyred4S or Belles for Usher Be718? I have been using Belles 150A Hot Rod for years in my BR system. It is a wonderful amp, excellent bass and soundstaging, with slight tilt to warm side, which you might need with the Ushers, which I have read can be a bit forward.Have never heard a... |
