| PS Perfect wave power cord I think the AC-12 and AC-10 with single crystal PCOCC solid core conductors are very good sounding and PS Audio's best power cords to date. | |
| Power requirement for ADS L-1290? I owned a pair of these for quite a while and liked them. I had a stash of new/old replacement drivers just in case espcially since the fluid in the tweeter can go bad with time.To answer your question, they do like power, and bi-wiring if possbil... | |
| Copper and silver cables and bass response The KCAG is a well balanced overall cable. However Kimber's Select series in the silver hybrid (KS-1126) would provide you much more detail, air, liquidity and bass. Their KS-1130/36 are even better but are pricey. The Select series also uses thei... | |
| Magnepan, How Low Can You Go...power-wise Electrostatic speakers generally sound better with more power but also that power has to be stable down to 2 ohms at least as these speakers usuallyu have pretty good impedence dips regardless of what they are nominally rated at, imo.You can alway... | |
| Do you power your Class D amp on and off? Spectron also recommends leaving their amps on.The reason is that class D amps take much longer to run-in with their IECs and turning them off is akin to turning back the clock on the run-in period where the amp will need on/'run time to sound its... | |
| Warm Sounding Surround Receiver You might want to listen to the midrange+ Denon receivers. | |
| Dissapointed with my new speakers I'd have your dealer come over, since he sold you the speakers and they sounded ok in his audition room and have him touble shoot what is 'not quite right' now that they are in your house.That's how brick and mortar dealers stay in buiness...by he... | |
| Do all Class D amps lack soundstage depth? Just like there are a wide variety of SS and tube amps with various strenghts and weaknessness, so too does this apply to Class D amps.The amps you listened to are realtively inexpensive. If you had listend to say a Spectron Audio MK2 or a Bel Can... | |
| 36v, 72v active filter on AudioQuest IC In talking to an AQ rep once, I was told the maxium useful voltage is somewhere around 60v. Anything above 72v doesn't improve the sound.The dbs packs do work to keep the IC run-in all the time so if you don't listen to you audio system often, the... | |
| Any one else like the class D ICE power amps? I own one of the new Spectron Audio MK2 with the gold plated rhodium speaker posts and the V-Cap upgrade. Spectron makes their own IECs which enables them to create i.e. reconstruction filters that aren't 'add-ons' to a B&O module.I love the s... | |
| B&W vs Von Schweikert house sound? Some people don't prefer the B&W 800 series with the diamond tweeters as they are usually heard at dealers who also carry MacIntosh or Classe.Unless they are hooked up to Mac 501 monos or Classe CAM 400 monos and at least bi-wired, they can so... | |
| What Spade Size to Use on B&W 803S Binding Posts On my B&W 803D, I use Kimber WBT 0681 spades 5/16" and the plastic slots would also take 1/4". | |
| PS Audio PerfectWave- Very decent one The AC-12 and AC-10 with PCOCC single copper sound even better. They are clearer and harmonically richer than last year's SC versions. | |
| Most Musical Subwoofer, MJ Acoustics over REL ? You really have to dial in the Velodyne DD series for them to be seemless with music. If done so properly, they are very good for music. Many people just use the auto set-up which works relatively well, but using your TV and the graphic interface ... | |
| Bi-amp vs Bi-wire ohm question??? Just as a FYI, the B&W 800 series like low distortion high current power and to be bi-wired or a shotgun run of speaker cables. While the nominal impedance may be 8 ohms, these speakers can dip to 2-3 ohms across the frequency spectrum. |
