| Sonic Frontiers, Myth or Reality? I think that SF was in trouble at one time not so long ago but since Paradigm(who are probably cash rich) bought them out things are better. Its not clear as to why some of their products are supposedly going "cheap" but they do make quality gear ... | |
| Hypothetical Question! In the absence of using a high quality switching box to test cables I believe that your method will work given that sonic differences will be heard if there are various things that remain the same. Ex. - say if your room is square and your speaker... | |
| Preamp new/used under $900 If you are looking for a preamp that is neutral or revealing, then check out Bryston. | |
| amps and cd players for magnepan 1.6qr I have a pair of 1.5's mated with a 4B-ST/Rogue 66 combo. Source is an Arcam Alpha 8SE and it meshes well. IMHO, your preamp, if you go with a straight amp, may have a greater effect on the outcome. If you do look at a Bryston amp and consider cou... | |
| Cat Stevens.... Great Artist or Wacko? Sorry for the error | |
| Cat Stevens.... Great Artist or Wacko? I agree with Sedond's right to post his response! The thread entitled Artist or Wacko allows for both sides of the equation to be discussed. I also believe that the artist left us with some wonderful music (although I am not a huge fan) but do bel... | |
| Best Integrated amp 'around' $1000??? There is one here listing at $975. Great product - very neutral and the best warranty in the business. | |
| Waveform Speakers Check out the web site waveform.ca - company is closing and the speakers (whats left anyways) are about 50% off!!!! | |
| What does 'shotgunning' mean?? If memory serves me right it means using 2 separate wires joined together at the amp end and 2 connections at the speaker ends - one for high frequencies and the other for low frequencies. | |
| best inerconnect $300 to $400 Superb construction and a steal at the price | |
| Any advice on CD player upgrade? something must have drawn you to the Arcam 7 in the first place??? Another 2 choices might be the Arcam Alpha 9 or upgrade yours to the 9 or for around $500 more than a new 9 you could look at the FMJ-23 which has been getting good reviews. | |
| Your analysis of Analysis plus spk.cable I purchased a 2 run bi-wire set of AP Oval 12's for my Maggie 1.5's. Out of the box they were disappointing - very thin sounding. After 50 or so hours they are starting to sound better and I hope they continue to get better. Regardless of what peo... | |
| Amps & Maggies...what is your take? Various posts may appear advising a multitude of choices from lower end AV receivers to high end tube amps. It has always been my opinion that Maggies love lots of current but many owners have had great success with reduced amounts. I have a pair ... | |
| Bryston 4BST or Classe' 201 Both are wonderful products each having very desirable attributes. I think the Classe is warmer sounding but its hard to walk away from the best warranty in the business by Bryston (helps keep the value over time). Unfortunately, price dictated my... | |
| Best Used Tube Preamp (under $750)? I love my Rogue66. Another good choice would be Sonic Frontiers SFL1 -Signature. Should be within your price range. Good Luck |
