| Will Creek 5350 SE drive Magnepan 1.6QR? I used an Anthem MCA-2 channel for about 2 years with my 1.6's and had plenty of power. Smooth sound very good low end a solid performer. Use a good solid strand power cord like a Virtual Dynamics and you could live with it for a good long time.Yo... | |
| Audio Aero Prima DAC Mattheus,I have used many cords on my Cap MkI,hear are a few.Golden Ref.;lacked resolution,TG SLVR.;sweet and delicate used it for 8 months,couldn't handle productions that were not good to excellent.PS Audio,not worth mentioningBlue Circle BC62,d... | |
| A.A. Capitole..unfortunately not yet..$$$$$$ Yes,Go with the Prima Dac. It is the same as in the Capitole and with the SFT-1 transport could give you equal or better results.I now own a Cap MKI , and did own and should have kept for a second system a PRIMA 24/192 player.good luck,Peter D. | |
| Which of these would you buy? D. ,My vote would be for the S-6, but is extremely biased because I have't heard any of the others. I would try to get FL-6. They went out of production in 2000.That model which I have now is front ported vs. rearported as in the newest design.The... | |
| Name 1 Cable in your system you could not live w/o It's got to be the TG Audio SLVR power cord for my Audio Aero Cap MKI.It is likely because I haven't found anything else yet. But I have tried sooooo many that I have nearly given up.Cheers, | |
| Maggie's and cats Try spraying them (the Maggies) with perfume.Worked for me and especially to mask the other womans perfume.Really though, only spray the edges near the bottom and not near the ribbons .One taste of that and that should do it,or if it doesn't use v... | |
| Looking for dedicated power line advice. Harry, Well they came across very bright and bodyless.Ran the wire in for two weeks with two 90watt tubeamps with a PS Audio port . A/B'd with also ran in normal top quality BX,10 guage also.Absolutely no comparison.The VD wire was too bright, wit... | |
| Looking for dedicated power line advice. I agree with Lak on the first two points. But reservations though on the 'Virtual Dynamics' Wire.Did a direct a/b with top quality BX wire and the difference is huge.VD wire was very artificial sounding which is kinda weird since I use a VD Nite, ... | |
| What are your favorite monitors? Budrew,If you are liking the Spendor character then try outthe FL-6,now out of production. 'Elegance' Series same as your S3/5 i think.It is not a monitor,but a small imprint floorstander.I couple them with a Von Schweikert VS-1 mini-sub and is a ... | |
| Whats better then PS Audio P300? ? ? ? ? I second the Audio Magic Stealth or Eclipse.I travelled almost the same route as Warren .Went from a Chang,to an PS Audio Ulimate outlet combo to a PS Audio P-300.I thought I hit paydirt.After about6 months it broke down and found out how good my ... | |
| Anyone compared Shunyata Aries vs. Cardas Gold Ref Wow ,your system must sound pretty damm good already.After a little time with Shunyata and about 6 months with the Golden Ref.,then settling on Golden Cross I found out this much.The Golden Cross was the most musical and didn't add a weird tonalit... | |
| Review: Audio Magic Stealth XXX AC filter Without reviews and A'gon we would all be in the dark aboutthe many products that profess to be the best of the best be it lines conditioning or whatever,something like the 'World's Best Coffee'.Myself I am always looking for that slightest improv... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole 24/192 or Audio Research CD3 The ARC company really has the tube thing going for it.So does Audio Aero. I love my Capitole,and without a preamp.One less link and ic and power cord and shelf.Peter | |
| Are Sub-woofers really for music? Flickkit,I also had my doubts about a sub being musical so I tried a REL and found it a little hard to place and a bunch of others that just didn't make any grade.I did find a sleeper though.A Von Schweikert.Pretty little thing 8" woofer and does ... | |
| Matching Pre-Amp for Audio Aero Capitole MKII ? Just checking out the forums on the AA Capitole MKl & since I just picked up a used one a couple of months ago.I was hoping to connect directly to my Sim W-5 and then to the Maggies 1.6qr eliminating the preamp.Not!The heart and soul of a good... |
