| Upgrade Cables or Just Upgrade Equipment & Live in Shame? jasonbourne52 is on point. Don't go drastic & do a swarm. Try adding just 1 more REL 5Ti Subwoofer and evaluate. Best of Luck | |
| Upgrade to McIntosh Just be aware of one of the most remorseful decisions involved in choosing your hi-fi gear: Purchasing a less expensive piece of gear instead of what you really wanted! Best of luck | |
| Best turntable under $4000 If it's $4K all in for a complete turntable/tonearm/cartridge you should consider: Poly Table Signature from George Merrill...PolyTable Signature (hifigem.com). George is Mr. Analog in my opinion and many others. Check out his web page the gea... | |
| Why so few devices with BNC's?? BNC is an acronym for British Nut Connector. It is most often encountered in measurement equipment and some older hi-fi gear from the likes of Dayton-Wright in Canada. With the well entrenched RCA Connector it is difficult to usurp. It is depen... | |
| Cables from amp to preamp or longer speaker cables… With few exceptions, it is better to use longer interconnects (RCA or balanced) and shorter loudspeaker cables. | |
| What are your top 3 favorite female singers? Difficult but: Nora Jones Linda Ronstadt Sara Brightman | |
| Confession: I only like Norah Jones because so many others told me to +1 for sparksgja Perfect & succinct | |
| Advice? Less than $4k, solid state preamp, neutral to gentle I would look for a used Sutherland Engineering N1 Preamp. They don't come on the used market very often. I auditioned this against an Ayre and chose the N1. More versatile than the Ayre but strictly single-ended. Instrument grade quality and ch... | |
| New Sugden mono blocks have arrived. Awesome, enjoy! | |
| At this level of high(er) end audio why not offer balanced connections? +1 for carlsbad My single-ended preamp easily drives my 25' RCA interconnects to my mono blocks. Of course, they are quality cables & connectors. From what I can gather, if the preamp (single ended) has a low output impedance it would/shoul... | |
| So I was changing a lightbulb last night… +3 bad or improper dimmer switch. | |
| Need 25 foot interconnects +1 for Kota1 I have a pair of 25' RCA interconnects with Mogami W2549 cable on Neutrik NF2CB RCA's (or a simpler less expensive execution would be to use Rean NYS352G RCA's). Extremely pleased. Good luck | |
| Streamed music sounds awful in my system and I don't know why .... Too much bad information. A specialty pc can become part of a hi end playback system. WMP has no place...try JRiver MC or even WinAmp. Unfortunately, no truly fine internal pc DACs exist. The last true audiophile PCI sound card was the M-Aud... | |
| What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world? Wilson Benesch builds very competent stand mounted loudspeakers. I continue to enjoy my Vertex loudspeakers & added the W-B Torus System. Hardly in the super east no object league, but always engaging. | |
| How long should speaker cables be? Yes, as many have stated, short runs of loudspeaker cable are often best. To be practical I would say 3 meters or shorter if possible. But the real world often dictates otherwise. I would like to offer that keeping single ended interconnects (S... |
