| best power cord for Capitole 24/192 I use a Cardas Gold Reference PC with my 24/192 with good results. | |
| Ayre K-3X or Aesthetix Calypso? with a I'm a biased fan of the Calypso. With the right NOS tubes, this preamp stands out. | |
| How particluar are Dynaudio C-4's to room placement? Mike - Your room size is fine. You should be fine with some placement experimentation and some subtle room treatments. Let us know how it goes and what the rest of your system consists of. | |
| How particluar are Dynaudio C-4's to room placement? Mike,You will have to experiment. My hunch is that you will probably be OK with them pulled out 35" from the back wall to the rear of the speaker, especially considering you will have 6 feet on the sides (vs. my 36" to the side wall). However, I c... | |
| How particluar are Dynaudio C-4's to room placement? C4's are definitely room dependant and can overwhelm a small room. Mine are approx. 40" off the back wall... although you can probably compensate a shorter distance with bass traps and assorted room treatments. My room is 21' x 15' with 7' ceiling... | |
| REL Sub T1 or T2 Good Match for Dynaudio Focus 140 Warning... Shameless plug to follow ;)Long time Dynaudio owner here... starting with two pairs of Audience monitors which I still own, then Contour 1.3SE's, then Confidence C2's, and currently the Confidence C4's in my main system. I've had great ... | |
| Consonance A120 vs. Jolida JD1501RC integrated amp I have the Jolida JD1501RC in a secondary system paired with Dynaudio 52 monitors and a Pioneer Elite DVD player. It's been trouble free and offers decent bang for the buck. Sound is smooth & fatigue free, with good bass, but rolled off highs.... | |

| $1000 upgrade budget- cdp or speaker? CDP would be my first move. Apollo & Cary 308T are both strong contenders. | |
| Which amps have 2 sets binding posts per channel Plinius SA series amps have two sets of binding posts for each channel. I've owned several Plinius pieces and found all of them to be a great value on the used market. The SA series also provide the option of running in either Class A or Class A/B. | |
| Speaker suggestions for Pass Labs x250? Dynaudio C1 ($4,500 used).... a robust & very well respected monitor that would be a good fit for your room & equipment. | |
| Just purchased Usher Be-718. Need Help with Setup Sound Anchors are a "can't miss" choice. | |
| Has anyone tried Simaudio pre with Plinius amp? You don't mention your budget, but I can recommend the Aesthetix Calypso with NOS tubes (Telefunken 12AX7's or Mullard CV4004's). Can be had for approx. $3,200 used. | |
| How often do you swap out equipment in general I've had my amp and CDP for approx. 1 year... speakers and preamp are relatively new additions, going on 3 months. I'm low on $$$ right now, so I'll make an occassional small purchase ($300 or so) on tube rolling till I get another large infusion ... | |
| Is the market changeing? I don't see the prices necessarily dropping, however, it does appear that things are not selling as quickly in the past, especially on higher dollar gear. It's a buyers market IMHO. |
