| Kimber's new KS 6000 SC Kimber has been playingthis game taking cables and just adding more conductors and charging more. Sometimes it helps sometimes it doens't it will be intresting to see how this one plays out. Personally I run Kimber select and they sound good but t... | |
| What about power for Vandersteen 2 speakers? You just need to play and see what you like. My favorite amp with out breaking the buget was the quicksilver v4 for that speaker. I used that amp wit hthe 3 the 3 an the 5a. it was the one piece of equipnemtn I was satified with. I did originally ... | |
| Most significant upgrade Just kiddn.. But they do help. This is tuff with out knowing your system I could not tell you what to upgrade. you upgrade your weakest link for what you listen to. | |
| Paradigm S4 Quicksilver amplification I can not comment on your exact set up. But I have had quicksilvers for the past 8 years and Paradyms in the past. The quicksilvers are nothing but smooth and detailed. They are a grate amp. The Paradygm are also a good speaker but not my favorite... | |
| JL Audio Music get one 112Movies do the 113Depends what you listen to. The 110 doesn't have enough punch. That is just my 2c ymmv. | |
| Vandersteen and NOT BI WIRE---Your thoughts Funny thing is I hated the vandersteen connector block for years. When I asked vandersteen about then there is a good reason he uses them and a lot of those big good blocks you can crank down hurt the sound. One of those things that dont make sens... | |
| Which speakers... B&W 802D or Vandersteen 5A's? B&W is more like what you have. Go listen to both. The vandersteen it is a more accurate speaker and nicer to listen to for long hours. Also for your room the vandersteen base gets tuned which will help. The b&w is a little more of a gambl... | |
| Vandersteen and NOT BI WIRE---Your thoughts I tried it both ways I prefer biwire but with that being said it is all about budget. Jumping will get you 90% there. One good cable jumpered could sound better than 2 cheaper cables biwired. | |
| Good turntable needed, need recomendations. Thanks for all the input. Still have not got anything cost, confusion and set up are delaying me. My dealer was over tuning my sevens and he recommended putting the player in another room, this works well with my set up but unexciting since I won'... | |
| Is there a huge diff, between 2CE Sig II & 3A Sig? Still hard to say the 2ce I was running quicksilver v4 on with kimber cable and a asethix pre amp and every change I made to the system herd the speakers where very transparent. As I said the 2wq made a big difference. The 3 will be a bit cleaner ... | |
| Will a quality USB cable make a difference.... I have had differences. The music was just more clear with the better cable. But I used a cheap cable and then switched to a kimber, never really tried anything else. A good belkin or any cable with adequate gauge and good connectors should be fin... | |
| Wadia Remote Control Lift the Top of the batt cover 2/3 of the way up you will see a little finger nail notch pull it towards you Then push the back up about 1/4" and pull it off. The remote has no range about 8' that is my issue with it even with new batteries. | |
| Setting up a movie room in unfinished basement Agreed just do a room as cheap as possible. If you are doing it yourself you still need a fair amount of money for tools. Do the room at least it will add value and living space to the house. | |
| Good turntable needed, need recomendations. Tmsorosk, it all depends on your system and what you like. One day I went to listen and the person had a recording on vinyl and the same recording on cd. The table was nothing special maybe a 5k table the cd was a wadia si7 a 15k cd. We listened t... | |
| All time favorite speaker cables It is whatever sounds good in your system. If home depot wire works and matches your system go for it, HD may also sell some speakers now. For the purpose of this thread I like alot of wires, transparent is nice Kimberly 8 tc is a classic and good... |
