| What's my next upgrade? Please advise. Guys - I got another Nordost SPM interconnect and a pair of FIM Gold Speaker Cables. Now I'm all set - the system sounds awesome! Thanks for the advice. I was so surprised by the difference the cable upgrades made. Glare and harshness I didn't eve... | |
| What's better than HT Platinum Digital cable? I've owned the HT Platinum, Nordost Silver Shadow, DH Labs Silver Sonic and Stealth Fineline II. Personally, I couldn't detect any differences between the cables. At the same time, I have found significant differnces in analog cables. In my limite... | |
| Way ahead with transport / DVD Edorr:I have a Pioneer DV09 and was using it with an MSB Link DAC III + upsampling. I got a used Muse Model 5, and the sound was significantly better. If you really want to hold onto your DAC, getting a new transport may be the way to go. Still, y... | |
| Quality Monitors? I had great results with my B&W Nautilus 805s. I upgraded to Audio Physic Virgo - the bass and soundstage is better, but on vocals, the 805s were better. Also, the Nautilus range keeps its value well and is super easy to sell if you want to up... | |
| Speaker upgrade - please advise. Djlackey - you were right. I don't need the sub with the new Audio Physic's. They more than perform in that area. Hence I'll be selling the sub soon. Also I upgraded one interconnect to SPM refernece, and got a YBA CD1a. Both upgrades were amazing... | |
| What's my next upgrade? Please advise. Just wanted to mention that I upgraded one of my cables so far - I swapped in Nordost SPM Reference for my Homegrown Audio Silver Lace, between preamp and power amps. I can't believe the difference! All cable upgrades up till now have been subtle ... | |
| i need a beter interconnects to my systam I've had great results with the introduction of SPM to my system. I had been using cables such as Cardas Golden Cross, Homegrown Audio Silver Lace, Harmonic Technology Truthlink and Kimber KCAG. The SPM took my system to a completely new level. I ... | |
| sonicfrontiers pre-amps reliable or not? I've been using a Line 3 for about a year. I did have problems with it, but there were due specifically due to the presence of the PS Audio 300 power plant in my system (sometimes there was a significant hum from the Line power supply and it blew ... | |
| Sonic Frontiers Line 2 SE with Bryston 7B-STs, Qtips, your system looks awesome - I'm surprised it doesn't sound so good. You could try some new cabling - not sure what you're using now. Also, the problem may be your CD player or your preamp tubes. Some CD players (especially Krell) are very d... | |
| what speakers do the best "disappearing act"?? Audio Physic Virgos. They're very difficult to set up properly, but once you get the set up right, they do disappear. It's very impressive. Still, that's not to say that they are the best out there - I find the vocals on my Virgos not quite as goo... | |
| Good small sub. If you need the sub for music and not home theater, I'd recommend REL - the Strata or the Q series - the most musical, best bang for the buck. | |
| Sonic Frontiers Line 2 SE with Bryston 7B-STs, Pbb, I currently have the Line 3 and I had both the Bryston 3bst and 4bst in my system. The SF Line preamps are all very neutral, so I'd probably worry about the potential for other system synergies - the preamp will likely not be a cause of any p... | |
| Kora Hermes 24/192 DAC...The Best Choice? You may also want to check out the EVS Millennium DAC II. It's arguably the best bang for the buck at $1049:http://www.tweakaudio.com/Millennium%20DAC.htmlTo be honest, I haven't heard it but I'm just going by what I've heard on the grepevine - ch... | |
| Tube amps that can hande 4 ohmsl Hybrid amps may be another safe bet. I'm using a pair of Blue Circle BC2s (hybrid - 75wpc Class A, with one 6SN7 tube per amp) to drive my Audio Physic Virgos, and they seem to do a wonderful job. I believe the CEO of Blue Circle uses the same amp... |
