| Phono pre-amp for Shelter 501 MK I dont believe that is enough gain for your Shelter. | |
| Experience on B&W N800 with Tube Amplifier hiI own the 800D and recently added an BW 855 sub. When I did so I thought I no longer need to use ss mono for I have enough bass now. So I tried a pair of Cary 211 Anniversary tube mono, 110W/channel. To my surprise, these amps drove my speakers ... | |
| Wadia 861as transport with non-Wadia DACs According to Steve of Great Northern Sound, Wadia transport and DAC are made to sound best w/ its Clocklink feature. You should give him a call for he knows more about Wadia than anybody else.Nick | |

| What sub for B&W HTM1d and 802ds? I have 800D and use the 855 for my sub. It's a great seamless combination. For your room, you might be able to do fine w/ the 825. By the way I did try the Velodyne DD15 but that did not match as well as the 855.Nick | |
| MIT Oracle V2 vs. V2.1 I could be wrong but I think they are the same cables. The V2.1 has one advantage: the impedance is adjustable, where the V2's impedance is not. You should just call MIT to make sure. Nick | |
| Anyone compare the Bat 51se with ARC Ref 3? Chuck,Very nice system you got there. I am too curious about the ARC Ref 3 preamp. I own the First Sound Presence Paramount SE. You ever got a chance to compare the Presence vs. ARC? Thanks. | |
| Best speaker cables for Talon Diamond Firebirds Congratulations on your speakers. I had the same speakers before and I love the MIT Oracle 2.1 on them. I tried many brands before I settled on the MIT. Nick | |
| help with my speakers If possible remove the tweeter from the good speaker and put it in the bad speaker. Then if you get normal sound out of the bad speaker after doing so, you got yourself a dead tweeter. Nick | |
| Strange how many used valves measure NOS? Learn from your mistakes and dont buy valves from sellers without a money back policy. And you must test the valves yourself also.Most NOS valves naturally cost more $$ but at least most of the time you know axactly what you are getting. When it's... | |
| Cary SLI-80 and B&W 805S, good match? I tried the sli 80 F1 on my 800D and they sounded fine with a little lack of bass vs. my 250 ss mono amps so go for it. You should be fine. | |
| System building, again What kind of sounds are you looking from your 2nd system? What is your budget? The GPA rack is as good as it gets but why would you build a system around a rack? The GPA rack would improve ANYTHING you put on it. Nick | |
| CARY SLP-05 Power Cord Hi MitchI tried many on it: Electraglide epiphany, Purist Audio Dominus, Shunyata Anaconda and Kubala Emotion. The winner for myself was the Kubala. Nick | |
| Building Rix Rax Stand You need the Orchard Bay cones. You can contact Stuart of Sanctuary Sound. I think he could get some for you. | |
| How do I know what my system's From my own experience, every system has its weak and strong points. You must know what your weaknesses are then you could upgrade from there. Without listeing to your system there is no way anybody could tell you what to do. On the other hand, if... |
