| PS Audio P300 or Cardas Golden Reference? you always start with the power. What comes out of the wall will impact your system sound the most. PS Audio P300 or P500 will be much noticeable upgrade than changing the interconnect. Clean power will impact your whole system whilst changing the... | |
| Help w/Power Conditioning: Shunyata, Furman, RGPC? rather than power conditioner, I suggest you try the power regeneration model from PS Audio. You get significant benefits in the sound without compromises. RGPC is good if you have bookshelf and want to emphasize the low mid to bass because that i... | |
| Ayre AX-7e vs. Belles Reference 150A Hi have used Ayre AX-7E in the past, heard the Belles 150As but now I am settled with Belles 350a reference V2s using them as monoblocks. I can tell you that AX 7E although a very good integrated will not get you the sound that your 150a v2 will g... | |
| Kef 205/2 Hi Primare and other KEf reference users, I just want to chime in here even though the post is old so I can share some of my experiences in cabling my KEF 207.2. here are the gears I use.Pre-amp: Belles 28AAmp: Belles 350a V2 in Mono config.Cables... | |
| Kef 205/2 Hi Primare, if you remove all plugs, you loose bass. You need to keep both plugs in place with the middle one out. If you plug the middle as well, then you get additional hi freq boost. For my 207/2, I use Stereovox LSP 600c | |
| Magico Q3 vs wilson sophia 3 This is one thread where I feel everybody knows what they are exactly talking about. Ciro 71, if are choosing between just these two, hands down, Magico Q3. I think people already commented pretty well on their characteristics which are similar to... | |
| Kef 205/2 One more thing, you definitely need to change the quattro Fill going from your CD to Pre. you have an interconnect that is going exactly the opposite way from where you want to go and CD to Pre is where the most signifcant change in sound will be ... | |
| Kef 205/2 hmm, 205/2's got prettty good low bass that integrate well with rest of the freq. I almost got 205/2 before settling with 207/2. I would suggest some cabling tweak. Nordost cables you are using won't help you with the bass problem. In that price r... | |
| Speaker Cable for Krell and Kef Loudspeakers Hi Paul,I had to go through similar cable overhaul after I switched the speakers from Thiel to KEF 207.2. I demo'd many before settling down on Nirvana SX for the speaker cable. Other good alternatives are JPS Aluminata or Nirvana Vahalla. JPS alt... | |
| Avalon Acoustics vs Wilson Audio Kazman, for the budget you have, I would suggest spending about 20K on the speakers then the rest on upgrading your CD, pre-amp combo and then finally the cables. (power cables first then the speaker and inter.) Then you there in one shot. no goin... | |
| Is KEF no longer relevant? 6550c, The KEF reference ranges are all hand-built in England just to clarify...not that made in China is any indication that the product will be inferior. You will be surprised by how many high-end audio manufacturers build their products in Chin... | |
| Does the wilson sophia 1 sound good only with perf Whoever think Sophia 1 is a high resolution speakers must have not yet heard what real high resolution speakers sound like. The sophia's got a overblown bass, topped with mid that is very much veiled. room placement/system upgrades may help improv... | |
| Is KEF no longer relevant? For the price vs. performance, KEF is very relevant, and will become more relevant in coming months/years as more listeners become aware of their value. Especially in the price brackets their reference lines are in, not much can compete head to he... | |
| Revel Salon 2 vrs Kef 207/2 Hi Irvrobinson,no I came to my conclusiong after my audition using various systems upstream, Salon2 required more juice, not just more, but right one. Like you said it was more sensitive to the placement as well. Anyway, I agree with you that KEF ... | |
| Thiel CS 3.7 vs Tidal Piano Cera Hi Bvdiman, no I didn't listen to the whole range..I wish I could with all the raves on Tidal elsewhere, but where I live, dealers no longer seems to carry them. don't know why...I listen to their tricera or whatever model that had the accuton twe... |
