| Bi-amping via Y-cables sound quality If you're using mid to high end ICs then putting in a lesser quality Y-connector would indeed degrade the sound quality to the extent of the qaulity of the Y-connector.Most any cable manufacturer will make up an IC for you with one end to the prea... | |
| Mcintosh c2300 v/s c500t . Anyone heard the diff I realize this isn't going to answer your question completely but I have the C2300 running with a high end class D amp and it sounds terrific. I also like the multiple outputs and inputs of the C2300 that are XLR or RCA instead of just mostly RCA.... | |
| AC / DC - What are you using? Dissapointed by .... PS Audio Power Plant Premier for source and preamp and Hydra for amps. | |
| Review: Cardas Reference Series Golden & Neutral Ref, Golden Pres. Interconnect Nice write-up. Have you heard the Kimber Select KS-1121/26 or KS-1130/36?I think they would change your opinion of Kimber Select. The KS-1011 is a warm copper cable and the silver/copper of the KS-1021/26 or silver of the KS-1130/36 is in a differ... | |
| PC Recommendation for Furman Conditioner Kimber makes the PK-10 Gold with the 20amp IEC option and retails for about $350. It isn't shielded for better sound so you need to keep it away from ICs and speaker cables but shouldn't be a factor in using it from the wall to the conditioner.Of ... | |
| Is Mc a step up on the prima luna's? I have a Mac C2300 preamp with a high output Class D amp and it really woke up my 803D mains (the amp...the preamp bought out the richness and bloom i'd been seeking). I like this combination with the B&W speakers which like good clean high qu... | |
| Which sub should I get? I had a Veloydne DD-15 and it is a great sub that can be dialed in given the sub's room correction software (manually or automatically). It was a little much for music in my room but great for HT. I sold it and replaced it with two DD-12 subs and ... | |
| Power Conditioning experience... I believe the Furman unit mentioned (and I also hear it is a great unit but somewhat pricy at retail)is also a regenerator and that in and of itself explains a lot. You are receiving a much lower distortion AC from it...whether from a dedicated li... | |
| B&W 803S Speakers Having owned the 803S (and now the 803D), the 803S was as previous posters have said and could be a bit much for that size room.Whether you decide on the 805 or 683, both contain B&W's aluminum tweeter which is a little forward imo. I found th... | |
| Best used speaker cable to match my system on Agon I am using a shotgun run of Gibraltar to my B&W 803D mains and I am very satisfied with them although I'd like the Mont Blanc but a shotgun run is a little too much $$ for me.They use the same PSC+ but the Mont Blanc uses AQ's counter spiralin... | |
| vander 5A, Revelsalon2, sf elipsa or magico v3? I'd love to be able to afford the Sofia IIs or IIIs but given I can't I own B&W 803D mains.They are particular to good high current and wattage of 400 watts/channel or more and like to be bi-wired to get the best bass and overall sonics of out... | |
| Class D question............... Not all Class D amps are created the same just like SET or A/B SS amps or tube amps.Spectron designs its own IECs and chooses parts that give it a very 'musical' sonic signature all things being equal.Bel Canton uses modified B&O IECs and thei... | |
| Mixing a Classe 2 channel amp with ice 3 channel ? I use a high end class D amp for my 2 channel listening with a dedicated preamp. I have a lower cost Rotel RMB-1095 SS amp for HT when I watch movies which isn't too often. No problems with the combination or sound across the center, surrounds and... | |
| Power Output of Class "D" amps I have a Spectron MK2 with V-Cap and have hear them in my system mono-block and using one in stereo.First off, there is plenty of power for 95% of the speakers made with just one amp. My B&W 803D mains are nominally rated at 8 ohm but can dip ... | |
| Best cables for Jadis DA88 Signature amplifier I like the Kimbers myself but they should be auditioned with their Select ICs of same or better composition. |
