| Why not more popular? I've owned many good speakers from the DQ10 days, and yes they could do bass if you had a big enough amp, say the Threshold 400A they could sake the room, to Dynaudio Confidence speakers, ProAc, and Quad ESL's. I decided to try the Spatial Audio M... | |
| Audioquest Thunder and Tornado HC Power Cords Amp is directly in the wall, front end gear in the P-12. Blizzard and Monsoon on the front end gear. Trying to figure out the best spot for the tornado and Thunder. I like the Blizzard on the preamp, I know this for sure, Monsoon on the SACD playe... | |
| AQ Blizzard or Thunder? Into my amp but then I like the Tornado there also. I will add 1 Blizzard to the front end then give the system a listen and then decide where to use what. I like the Blizzard a lot for front-end gear. | |
| AQ Blizzard or Thunder? I own them and they are ultra low noise design, I hear zip but pitch black backgrounds with the DBS in use. Use the cables as designed. | |
| Reccomend a good preamp for me. Find a preowned Luxman C800F and you're done, does not sound like a solid-state or tube sound, just natural and ultra low noise design and built to last forever. | |
| Power regenerator vs conditioner I tried many over the past 15 years and I landed on a newer designed PS Audio regenerator P-12 for my front-end gear and it is the best sounding one I’ve heard from any passive, isolation transformer design like the Furman Reference 20i which I li... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... @phillyb,Why buy music when you can stream CD-quality unlimited music for under $20 a month. Because I enjoy collecting and owning the music. I have thousands of CD's and continue to buy them. I owned thousands of LP also, sold them all in the ... | |
| Audio envy - dang! I own a lot of Audio Envy cable. And my comments were meant as my process of music enjoyment, I still have the cables in my system and letting them further burn-in, I purchased several cables from online sellers, not from AE. The resale prices wer... | |
| Down to two ? Shunyata Delta NR or Audioquest Thunder? Audio Envy cables and you are done if you allow them to burn-in. | |
| Upgrading Speaker Cables: Wireworld Silver Eclipse or Transparent Audio Ultra? Wireworld Silver 7 power cords sound totally different with the upgraded connectors, night and day different. Tells you how much the connector ends impact the sound. Having said that which one you like would depend on your system and room acoustic... | |
| Audio envy - dang! Tried AV cables, they are voiced to what Captin feels is correct. I found them thin in the needed bid-bass and lacking deep bottom end and overtones, the cables are an upper midrange up the sound which of course will sound more open, and detailed ... | |
| What settings for a Marantz SA-10? I’ve owned a mega priced units and this newer Marantz. The SA-10S1 is a steal for the price and sound reproduction. My last player was the older Esoteric K-01, the Marantz was in no way below it, except for massive dynamics that really threw the m... | |
| Marantz SA-10 Vs Esoteric K-05Xs I owned the K-01 a wonderful CD player, had massive attack and dynamics that put vinyl to shame. Loved it. Got ill so I sold the K-01, and the only player I considered was the Marantz SA-10S1. I’ve not looked back with regret. The K-01 still has m... | |
| Class D Class D is the future and continues to improve as solid-state did and tubes over time did. My next amp will be class D of some sort, no longer going to want to lift my 100 lb McIntosh amp which is superb. It will be sold at local pickup only at a ... | |
| PS Perfect wave power cord I wanted to add my experience. You can see in my 1st post that I was not high on the PS Audio AC-12. I never sold them, so 2 weeks ago I pulled them out and put them back where I had tried them before and let the system play with the amp off for a... |
