| Power Cord for Ayre CX-7e ???? I would try a Purist on it. I tried a Dominus w/ the Ayre C5xe and love it. You probably could go with the one below the Dominus. I am sorry I dont know the name. | |
| EAR 834P or Cary PH302 I also had them both and the Cary was definitely better, and it was also quieter. | |
| Altos or Utopia I think once you heard the new Be tweeter, you would never be able to live with the older series Utopia.Nick | |
| B&W Nautilus 800N . Best amp & preamp setup ? hi I have the 800D not the 800N but they should be similar. I tried Mcintosh 1201= muddy and lose bass. Then I went to ML 436 mono= dark and congested. So the Krell 450mx came in= These really worked well w/ the B&W but they were grainy. Now I... | |
| Power conditioners for amplifiers I tried a Hydra 2 and was blown away with the improvements. You should try it.Nick | |
| Any advantage to using monobloc amps When you switch from a stereo amp to mono's of the same brand, you will get a bigger soundstage, better seperation. Your bass is also tighter and more control. Music sounds more natural and effortless. Nick | |
| "Absolute best" used speaker for $8-10K I would vote for the JM Lab Alto used for $8000. | |
| Fine tuning for a CARY 306 The best pc for your unit is an Electraglide fatboy. You can also isolate it on cones or platforms. Try a Nuance platform.Nick | |
| Insurance for audiophiles Thank you guys. I will give my home owner insurance agent a call. | |
| Do Bridged Accuphase Amps Sound Better? I own the Accuphase MC2000 so I dont have any problems with power. I was going to buy two A50s and bridge them but my friend who heard that set up said they sound terrible when you bridge them. Nick | |
| MIT's not good for tube components? Yioryos,Yes I am selling MIT Oracle ic cables. However they are not what he was looking for. And I dont own any tube amps. I have Accuphase amplifiers and B&W speakers. Nick | |
| MIT's not good for tube components? That is far from the truth. My friend has Joule Electra tube amps driving JM Lab speakers and he uses MIT Oracle v2.1 ic and speaker wires. His system sounds very transparent and musical. | |
| 1cdp/ 1 int. amp/ 1 outlet.... You can get a Hydra 2 for $300. $50 for a nice wall outlet: FIM or PS Audio. $150 on a best used 20amp powercord that you could find here on Audiogon. | |
| B&W vs FOCAL What would you be driving them with? Solid state or tube amps? | |
| Tips for warming up Rotel + B&W system? First, you need to study your room for it could be the cause. Then you also want to ask your dealer what cables he was using for that particular system at his store. I think you will find your answer from one of those two questions. Good luck.Nick |
