| power cables where do I start? Another vote for TWL and don't forget Cullen Cable if your budget is tight. | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? johnc5You're very welcome. I'd try them myself but I can't used spades on my integrated due to the 5 way binding posts (can't get a decent grip) so bare ends and bananas are all I can use. Let us know how they work out. 👍All the best,Nonoise | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? I’m always checking out bargains, reading reviews, etc. and I came across an ad at amazon where Cabledyne sells their older version of speaker cables at 50% off. They're solid, rectangular, single core 12 gauge high purity silver, and appear to be... | |
| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? Meanwhile, Pavlov is off figuring out another troll of a post. | |
| What other streaming services do you recommend besides Tidal? Never have these problems with my CD player. 😄 | |
| Bi Wiring for speakers question Joe Levy, over at Tempo Electric came up with a great solution for my bi-wire set up on my JBL 4319 monitors. Since he sells single, solid core silver cables, with no terminations (unless you want them), he recommended making the jacket about 3" s... | |
| Bring Peace to the Loudness War ,from change.org Thanks for the link Glen, I just signed it. The topic of loudness and how it messes up the music has come up here lots of times. Here's to hoping that something will come of it.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Your Favorite High Quality Audio Bulk Cable Manufacturer? With my new speakers I've landed back on my one of my favorites: Tempo Electric. I just ordered a new set of speaker cables, a couple of gauges larger (from 16ga to 14ga). The 16ga gave me all I could ask for save for the lower mids and down from ... | |
| Coming out of the blackhole called work...retirement Congrats on your retirement. I'm two years ahead of you and can tell you to simply take your time and don't rush into any major purchases and to audition as much as you can before committing. That, and mickeyb beat me to it: you really can't go wr... | |
| my first hight end sound system , please don’t ignore Your purchases seem to be well researched and as lowrider57 pointed out, it's all about synergy. Good call on the pure silver wire as well. Pretty soon you can be giving advice here as well. 👍All the best,Nonoise | |
| Budget American made speakers? Maybe a pair of JBL - 4312M II Bookshelf Speakers (Pair) from Music Direct? I think they may be made in Mexico, like my JBL 4319 monitors, but like Canada, it's considered North America.All the best,Nonoise | |
| JBL 4319...The Big Easy @jbhiller Right now I’m using a Marantz Reference integrated. It’s the older PM15-S2b model and the matching SA15-S2b SACD player. It’s like they’re made for each other but I can see lots of different amps getting really good results with these JB... | |
| 2018 exactly what is ‘High End’ audio? It depends on who you're asking. For me, it's arriving where I have just an hour ago, with a time proven, class A/B integrated and a SACD player tweaked with some fuses, a new pair of speakers based on a decades old design, and after playing aroun... | |
| JBL 4319...The Big Easy Thanks all for your responses! And thanks @johnnyb53 for the historical perspective. As to your reference of the L100 model, JBL is bringing it back sometime this year. I think it's going to be based on the 4312 but with improved drivers and diffe... | |
| JBL 4319...The Big Easy @nicotico Thanks for the interest. My room is not as big as I’d like: it’s about 15’ x 10’ with the speakers along the long wall. One side is all window and the other side opens to the rest of my place. The rear of the speakers are about 12.5" fro... |
