| DH Labs Q10 or Analysis Plus Oval 9? PTM - buy a used pair of each from this site to compare. Unless someone has your exact same system in the same room and more importantly your ears and taste its just a crap shoot anyways. Buying used will reduce the hit you'll take when you make y... | |
| Audioquest Type 4+ -- BiWire cable ?? Chris - I tried bi-wiring my center channel with it which was a very short run, about 5 feet but I used 2 cables and then splitting up the conductors. The mains are single runs and it did an adequate job @ 8' each. IMHO, I think its too small a ga... | |
| Sony SCD-333ES HELP Mine was well broken before I decided to changes things a bit... I felt the stock redbook was really good but the addition of a stock ART DI/O added in a little more detail. Just before all the hubub about modding the DI/O started I decided to hav... | |
| How many cd/dvd/sacd/cdr's players do you own? I've got three - an old Adcom 5 disc changer as a back-up, Sony DVP-S7000 for dvd's and a modded Sony SCD-C333ES for redbook and SACD. If we count the family as a whole we've got a total of 10. | |
| Any audio shops in Vegas that shouldn't be missed? I just got back last night from Vegas and their Yellow Pages proves unless you are into car audio it truly is a virtual wasteland for high-end audio. | |
| Isolation Cones. Will I get the point? About a year ago I tried the BDR cones both #3 & #4 under my cdp and didn't like the presentation at all. Next came sand bags under the unit. Both trials were with weight on top of the unit. Had much better success with an inflated inner tube ... | |
| Has anyone tried the Maple Audio Works cables? let me say that I have a bias as I know the boys @ Maple Audio and their cables are still my reference. They have had some limited press exposure to date and are preparing cables for Canadian and British publications. Like all audio new comers, it... | |
| Wife stepping on speaker wire Go to Home Depot and get 5" dryer hose - the pliable version and insert the cables into these. Although I can't speak to how the sonics will change as they have a wire wrapped in them so one can bend them to position but the low WAF should make he... | |
| Honest dealer in Canada Hey there MK - Hi from Okotoks. E-mail me and I'll advise a good dealer for MF gear. SOM is a nice place to visit but their prices reflect the cost of their new location... | |
| Noise from Rogue 66 preamp... Thye have gone microphonic accorinding to manufacturer - no big deal if I like the sound... | |
| Honest dealer in Canada What gear are you looking for and where are you located - might be a good start... | |
| AudioMeca vs. AudioAero vs. Electrocompaniet While SACD can be viewed as limited (something like 400-500 discs available worldwide) by some people I guess it all depends on what suits your taste. I for one can't even think of 30 redbooks cds I want right now so I guess its a preception issue... | |
| Arsonists - Please help me with cable burning Bob - Tx for the clarification. A much cheaper way than any cooker but I guess my time lines were slightly off - obviously this is a slower process... | |
| Arsonists - Please help me with cable burning When it comes to speaker cables and if my memory serves me right, Bob Crump posted over at AA a few months back about acquiring an inexpensive receiver (cheap on-line or at a tag/garage sale) and some 25 watt (???) resistors. Hook the speaker cabl... | |
| Running 4 ohm speaks on bridged amp...ok? I agree with Daniel. I used to own a pair of Acoustat 4 ohm speakers and my old Bryston 3B amp would run out of steam. I asked Bryston about bridging in another 3B and they advised against it saying that the 4ohm load on a typical elctrostat would... |
