| The Best Cable?? Hazard, start with a run of Kimber Select 1021 from your source, will be a huge improvement and the hero won't hurt it... | |
| Warm to Neutral Speaker Cables under $800? Agree with Chuck | |
| Upgrading interconnects? Spaz, another cable you might give a shot is Harmonic Tech magic link II - they are more dynamic than MIT and Kimber, but retain the holography and imaging you like - might be what your looking for. I find they work best as a link between preamp a... | |
| best preamp for 501's Congratulations on your 501's! I use a CJ premier 14 with NOS hitachi and mullard tubes. The authority and smooth presentation of the 501's mate very nice with the musicality of the CJ preamp, especially with my Theils. Magical midrange and textur... | |
| Upgrading interconnects? I have a lot of experience with MIT, including yours. The 330 SG are special cables but definitely are not the last word in resolution. I changed from years of using MIT including older reference series to Kimber Select. On my system Kimbers, espe... | |
| Speaker cables where to begin? I would give straightwire maestro II a shot - still a giant killer. | |
| Amp for Thiel CS6 Droz, I just found this thread - the advice from Thiel owners is spot on. I drive 3.6's with Mcintosh 501 mono's. My final choice was between the Mac's and CJ 350 which btw, is a superb amp. I felt the Mac's were better, more control in the bass f... | |
| cdp-pre, pre-power: different interconnects I agree with these guys, the right combination can be magical because different links do seem to react differently. It seems to defy logic and I have tried both ways - same brand throughout and mix n match. I even tried all network which many beli... | |
| Basis vs.VPI Another vote for Basis here, not because I have extensive experience with several tables just because I have been 100% satisfied with both of my basis tables. I shopped VPI, Clearaudio, and Basis primarily when I decided to get back into vinly. To... | |
| What next after Audience AU24 and Siltech G3? Tghooper - same here, the AU24 is very dynamic in my system - ss amps and Thiel speakers. I have tried alot of SC and haven't found one to better them. | |
| What next after Audience AU24 and Siltech G3? I just wired up with Harmonic Technology Majic Link II IC's and they are the best I've had against top Kimber and MIT. They are anything but harsh or bright...they are utterly transparent. They also mate nicely with my Audience au24 SC. | |
| AZ Matrix II vs Harmonic Tech Magic Link2 I've got 2 runs of magic II, one from my phono pre and one from my linestage to amps. I haven't spent alot of time with them yet but the time I have has been very good. They definitely better Kimber Selects in my system, more nuances, natural timb... | |
| AZ Matrix II vs Harmonic Tech Magic Link2 Sleep is overrated....."Keith Richards"I believe the HT pro 9 reference is top o line - I don't know if they still make the tweeter/woofer cables - they were way more expensive than the aforementioned - at least they aren't listed on the website.I... | |
| AZ Matrix II vs Harmonic Tech Magic Link2 Sounds like you need to spring for another run of SX! Just do it....I'm going to get another run of magic II to get the full flavor. I've always been a fan of same brand wire, esp for ic's. We'll see... | |
| AZ Matrix II vs Harmonic Tech Magic Link2 Yeah the nirvana sx is ultra expensive! I have tried the SL's and feel they fell slightly behind Audience and Straightwire Maestro II (not by much at all)and into the same league with Kimber monocle XL and Goertz M2. All of these cables are at a s... |
