| I dislike the newaudiogon category menu layout This is where Liam Neeson turns on his hand held recorder and all you hear is: Good Luck. | |
| Surprising Audio Quality "Digital", in some cases, is not all it's cracked up to be. | |
| Power cable recommendations under $1k TWL power cords. I use the Digital American series for my amp and SACD player and the improvement was readily apparent. It's like you're increasing the "torque" of the power without affecting the "horsepower" aspect of top speed and extension. It'... | |
| Hi-Fi Tunig Fuses & Parasound A21 Auxinput, thanks for the explanation. After reading all the posts on how a fuse can or cannot interact and affect the signal path, your's has what seems to be the least amount of spin. It could very well be that due to my bias it sunk in but I've ... | |
| Shopping for new speakers One that comes to mind are the Spatial Audio M3 or M4. From what I remember with my very short time with both, they have more of a natural warmth than a manufactured warmth. The detail, soundstage, and dynamics are better with the Spatials.Another... | |
| Interconnects Check out Darwin cables. They have a special offers section that may accommodate your needs, price wise. All of my ICs are Darwin.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Room treatment-I was afraid of this Just wanted to add to the point that furniture type and placement is so important when dialing in one's system. I just hauled out my Tonian Labs TL-D1s and fired them up (without the oversized sofa) and they sound effing fantastic. There's mass, d... | |
| Frequency response to 100k +/_ 1.5db? Maybe SETi can find a use for them. | |
| Room treatment-I was afraid of this :-) | |
| Room treatment-I was afraid of this It's sounds like you're pretty well set after all the work you've done so I'd not second guess yourself with tweaks just yet. What you need to do is get some long term listening in to familiarize yourself with your set up and then experiment with ... | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables +1 for Zu Audio cables. The Missions aren’t bad for the money but if you can pony up for the Event MkI, which they still have on sale, go for it.If that is too dear, price wise, try some Supra Ply 3.4W speaker cable. They're stranded, tinned, high... | |
| Sanity test before you start this hobby All it would prove is what I already know. | |
| Speaker grills on or off? I'm lucky. My speakers use Accuton drivers which have a permanently affixed metal grill. I get the best of both worlds: They don't interfere with the music and I can clearly see the drivers.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Search for miracle integrated Look at the Marantz Reference integrated line as well as the newest line of Yamaha integrated gear. These two fit your criteria, save for the power you'd like. As others have said, try more efficient speakers or see if you can get a try out/return... | |
| Honing down the speaker shortlist ~$5K Before you decide, take a look at the Spatial Audio M3. I heard the smaller M4 and was quite taken by them. On the plus side, they're comfortably below your spending point.All the best,Nonoise |
