Connectors that convert spades to bananas?
Well its a $5000 pair of speaker cables that is factory terminated so... kind a in a situation so might have to move it probably instead of getting smart knowing my abilities with soldering irons. Thx 
Connectors that convert spades to bananas?
Well my connectors will only accept spades and I have bananas. I need a spade connector that connectors to my speakers and will accept bananas plugs.Hope this is clear, sorry about that. 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Apogee Grands, there is nothing like it! 
Any ideas on the Bryston BDA-1 DAC
Cerrot,If you still enjoy the Benchmark, stay with it. I tried it for over a month comparing it to the Trivista back and forth in two different systems, I had to return the Benchmark even though it sounded great compared to a Micromega dac which u... 
Krell FPB and cast versions
DH,I have own Krell combos with the Thiels 3.6 and the CS7’s.The only difference as you have mentioned between the Krell FPB and the Cast are the protocols between the connection. If you don’t have the cast chain then stick with the FPB. The FPB30... 
Best speakers for 15X14 ft room
Hmmmm, just before I suggest anything its hard to even capture the thought based on what you already have as the existing amplification since the list could go on forever which is a great thing.Something like the Totem Model 1 Signature series wit... 
Ayre K1x/e owners - your listening levels are...?
Hmmm interesting, are you internal gain setting at max or min level. It is highly recommneded that its set at the lowest 16db gain. I am not sure what mine is but I went back home and started cranking things up a little, my CD Dac has plenty of ga...

Oppo bdp-83 straight to power amplifier
I know the bdp-83 and the se versions has this feature thrown in and I believe the DV-970 has it too.Nothing to do with the mods.

Wilson Sasha's - All evolution in Wilsons are.....
I agree with Peter,They do sound perfectly fine with reputable tube amps IMO but these things are not the easiest things to drive including all other Wilsons for that matter.The huge VTL Monos I listen to them were pretty darn good but the the big... 
Wilson Sasha's - All evolution in Wilsons are.....
The room was big and lost and lots of air for breathing. I find the Sophia's can benifit a great deal with this as well compared to my smaller listening room. Krell FPB 600 / Audio Research Monos at long listening sessions some shorter demos which... 
Wilson Sasha's - All evolution in Wilsons are.....
Wow I am truly amazed at some of the opinions, but I guess that’s what makes us all different. I trust a Bugatti Veyron will look like a larger trash disposal unit to some. The price of these things are not cheap by all means but it’s actually les... 
The New Jeff Rowland amplifiers ROCK
Yes I forgot that the Avalon room was nice sounding too with those Rowlands, those were the current monoblocks but not the new generation onces that are discussed here.The Rowland room had no speakers, just displays of their full line. I was just ...
