| Beyma 12BR70 bass driver Transl -In some three weeks time I'll receive a new pair of Auto-tech The Mummy II speakers, with the Beyma 12BR70 bass/midrange unit and BMS 4524 compression driver. Based on my initial impressions though, in named combination, I can say the Beym... | |

| NuForce DAC-9 My DAC-9 should land next week as well :) I intend to use it via its built-in preamp and USB input. | |
| Auto-Tech speakers André,thanks for your interest.I'll be adding a new D/A-converter to my setup next week, the NuForce DAC-9, and so I'll be glad to share some new impressions on the (total-)sound of my system once the DAC-9 has been broken in for a couple hundred ... | |
| Zendo Cables by Mundorf? Rja -I use the "bare" Mundorf Silver/gold wires(i.e. teflon insulated) both as speakers cables and interconnect's(1.5 and 0.5mm respectively), and if they're any precise indication of the sound via the Zendo's, which I'm assuming since they use th... | |
| USB cable..what do you have. Try out the NuForce Impulse Cable. It comes in 0.5 and 1.8m lengths at $20 and $30 respectively, so it's almost for free :)http://www.nuforce.com/hp/products/cable/index.phpIn my setup, compared to the standard stock USB-cable that comes with the ... | |
| Auto-Tech speakers Krzycho -Thanks for your interest. No, a NuForce Stereo 8.5V3 poweramp is in use. I've circled the Almarro A318B and WLM Acoustics Sonata, both of which appear to be interesting matches with the Mummies, but I have no intention to replace the NuFo... | |
| best RCA interconnects under $150 (if you don't mind DIY:)Mundorf's Silver/gold wires(SGW105YE/SGW105WH - 0.5 mm). The Price of silver has sky rocketed, but you should be able to assemble a 1 meter pair for under or in the vicinity of $150. Sound is very highly resoluted, clean, o... | |
| NuForce DAC-9 Mmeysarosh -The NuForce DAC-9 indeed appears to be a very interesting D/A converter! Can't wait to hear the first reactions - I believe it'll be quite the "giant-killer" at its presumed $1695... | |
| Monitor speaker that will stop the Quest? Analogkid - I use no preamp in the usual sense, instead going through the software-based J River 15 playback application in my mediaserver, using its internal digital volume control. I output directly from an RME HDSP 9632 soundcard into the NuFor... | |
| With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you Aether Audio's Revelation MR-2 Mk IV. The US retail price sits between $17,990 and $20,990, depending on the finish.http://aetheraudio.com/revelation_mr-2.html | |
| Monitor speaker that will stop the Quest? The NuForce Stereo 8.5V3 arrived yesterday, and has since been running some 20 hours. Allegedly the V3's require som 150+ hours(preferably past 200 hrs) to settle in, and will up to this mark or point present the listener with a reported rollercoa... | |
| Monitor speaker that will stop the Quest? Analogkid - I'm expecting my new poweramp, a NuForce Stereo 8.5V3, to arrive sometime next week. I'll gladly return with my impressions once the NuForce amp has been integrated in my system. It replaces an Acoustic Reality eAR 202 REF(a fine littl... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Earlier this week I was one of a few lucky individuals to be presented with a full demo(indeed an audience world-premiere) of the upcoming Raidho Ayra C-4 at their home facility in Denmark. The experience was monumental, and by and large elevated ... | |
| What to replace Nordost speaker cable? I'd recommend the Mundorf Silver/Gold wire(1.5mm dia.). I find they possess an inner natural warmth combined with extreme resolution, neutrality, and calmness. There's a firmness or tightness to the sound, while at the same time being very relaxed... |
