| Monitors for Bryston 4B ST I've been using B&W Nautilus 805s with my Bryston 4bst, and Sonic Frontiers Line 3. I used to find the 805s slightly lacking in soundstange and rage, but the new addition of the Line 3 opened them up a lot further. I'm now very happy with the ... | |
| Headphone Amp I use a Musical Fidelity XCans V2 tube headphone amp with my Sennheiser 600s (about $270 new I believe). I find the combination great, and prefer it to the intenal Headroom headphone amp on my Sonic Frontiers Line 3. Good luck. | |
| Tube Replacements for SF Line 3? Thanks Garfish for the advice. I think I might get some Valvos soon. I hear that that's what the new SE edition will be coming out with as well. Cheers,John. | |
| USED D/A - worth the effort? Guys:IMHO, I wouldn't recommend spending the money on upgrading the DAC. I recently acquired a new MSB Link DAC III, with upsampling upgrade to 96mmz, and the upgraded Monolithic Power Supply. I'm using a Pioneer Elite DV09 as a Transport. I have ... | |
| Are Homegrown Interconnects shielded?? Doug - you're right, the balanced configuration may weight in the KCAG's favor. Hence, the silver lace may be better when compared apples-to-apples. Cheers, | |
| Best speaker a wife would tolerate Not sure what budget you're looking at, but I've a few recommendations - B&W Nautilus 805, Nautilus 802, and Sonus Faber Concerto. They are all great at the pricepoints, and seem to score high on the femme factor. My girlfriend bought our pair... | |
| Are Homegrown Interconnects shielded?? I have both the silver lace and the Kimber KCAG in my system, and to be honest, I still prefer the Kimber. It may be that it has been broken in for longer - it has hundreds of hours on it, while the silver lace has perhaps only about 30 hours. I h... | |
| Class Action Suit against UPS? Yes, I was awaiting delivery of some Stealth PC Premier Speaker Cables, and was tracking the package online. The day I was expecting the package, expecting a line item like "Delivered", instead I saw this "Code ...." something meaningless like tha... | |
| Liked the Nautilus 805 but found better? Gthirteen, what electronics are you using? This could be the source of your bass concerns. I have a pair of Nautilus 805s, and am using Bryston amp & preamp. I've been pretty happy with bass. The Bryston gear (particularly the power amps) are ... | |
| Who is Most Beautiful female singer ever Have to agree with Marklivia. The "Coors" are damn good looking (especially one of them - can't remember what here name is) Being Irish, I'm biased though :-) | |
| B&W N804 System Upgrade - Cary CD? Have to agree that the processor is the weak link - a good preamp will take you to the next level. I have Nautilus 805, Bryston 3bst, and by far the biggest upgrade was going from an Arcam integrated amp (used as preamp) to a Bryston BP20 - totall... | |
| Hidden Audiophile Classics If you can handle dance/club music, try the sountrack to "Run Lola Run". I like a wide variety of music, including classical, and I'm not a dance music junkie, but this CD is brilliant. It demonstrates what my system can do better than any other C... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music I've noticed a few people mention Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in this thread. I strongly recommend a CD called Stokowski Encores (BBC Philmarmonic), where, amongst other gems, there is an orchestral version of the Moonlight Sonata that takes this... | |
| Horrific crackeling at power down...!?! Mezmo, I've had this specific problem just as you described with the left channel of my Bryston 3bst. I wonder whether there may be a design flaw in the Bryston gear? I contacted Bryston, and they advised me that I likely had a 'mute' problem (wha... | |
| Best Turntable at $1,500? Please Advise. Guys, thanks for the great advice. As per Frogman's advice, I think selling my preamp and getting a pramp with a phono section would be a smart first move (also wanted to get into tubes :-) and then I'll get the turntable. Again, seeing that this ... |
