has anyone heard the de-capos. I have the de capos. I am not familiar with your equipment, so cannot accurately address your situation. I will say, however, that the MM's are still improving after about a year. They are capable of revealing the difference in every upgrade/chang... | |
Biwire speaker cable advice, please I'm unfamiliar with your equipment, but I have used both Goertz and Tara bi-wire on Ref 3A's with ARC and Aloia gear with excellant results. Both well under $500.00 and a bunch better than the CAT 5 DIY. Good Listening, Roger | |
Armor-all Thanks, Megasam. Now that you have jogged my memory, I believe you are correct. The CD did become cloudy. I never did that tweek, either, but I know of some who did and they were not happy with the outcome. | |
Armor-all Who else remembers this? My memory says(not much on a good day :.) - It was tried by a number of folk, and after a while(don't know how long) the CD would start to delaminate. Something about the makeup of the Armor-all eating the plastic. I do th... | |
Best Preamp for under $1750.00 There are many great preamps listed here. The two I have tried lately that I like a lot are the ARC LS-16 and the Aloia with the inductive power supply. With the Aloia, after the smoke cleared, the price came way down. It is now available in the r... | |
Goertz M12 sp cables - any good? I, too, vote for the Goertz. aloia gear with REF 3A MM deCappos. | |
Help Newbie Cables for Mac/JBL?? Greetings Mac/JBL fans-I have in the not too distant past had a system with the Sovereign?/LE-15 and MAC tube stuff. I had homebrew cable then, and some Audioquest Clear(light in the bass)but I now run Goertz MI 2 Veracity and feel it would be a g... | |
Opinions of Reference 3A speakers You didn't ask,but the MMdeCAPO (inexpensive version of the Royal Master) is one awesome monitor. If monitors always leave you wanting a little bit more, these will satisfy your needs. I would think the R. M. would be quite a bit better. The Red R... | |
Directv booster or amplifier Pops, You need a booster. I don't remember what the brand was I used to install, but after about 100' you really needed a booster-which did a good job. Install it before the splitter-sometimes you can get too strong a signal and then it does weird... | |
best interconnect for less than 100??? I really like the NBS series of cables. What's the opinion of the rest of you? The Stingher retails for 95.00 and for my money seems to be a bargain. Has anyone a-b'd this to the rest? | |
Best single-malt Scotch... If ya' all ever find a bottle of 26 year old Inchmurrin, snap it up! It will make yur system sound like whatever you are looking for!!!!!!!!!!! Course, I can't afford to drink this stuff all the time, so I agree with the Lagavulin at 16 years. Lov... | |
How to have great HT and 2-CH Stereo My solution was to use only 2-channel with the Magnum Dynalab MD-10 Surround Decoder. If you have good 2-channel-why screw it up with home theater? The MD-10 has an RCA out for your sub(s) and decodes 5.1 into two channel. This sounds way better t... | |
Rogers LS3/5A Replacement Recommendation I haven't owned the Rogers, but have listened to the Totems, and like the soft tweeter, more open stage, and better bass of the Reference 3A mmdeCapo, $2400.00 new. A Canadian company that also makes the same speaker in a granite enclosure, I'm to... | |

Hockey Pucks under amp? Oh no. It's starting. I wonder what the difference is between used and new pucks-or pucks hit with wood sticks as opposed to composite-or aluminum? How about the temperature of the ice in the arena? Or the size of the sheet? Pro vs. amatuer? Or, y... |
