| B&W Speaker Score! Are the speakers bi-wired or single wired? If single wired what jumpers are you using? N802's are less aggressive single wired to the bottom terminals and using the B&W supplied jumpers.The speakers should be aimed such that the outside of e... | |
| Origin Live Turntables? I have a Resolution Mk 1 with an Encounter Mk 3c arm. The cartridge is an Ortofon Quintet Black. I purchased the table used on Agon. I have upgraded the motor controller to a later version and also changed the arm to the Mk 3c. This combinatio... | |
| Please Critique my Setup and Recommend Upgrade(s) Have you listened to your current setup sans the acoustic treatments? My thought is you are over-damped for the space. Take them all out and listen. Then start adding back a piece or two at a time and see what you think is better. | |
| Best high-efficiency speaker for Unison S6 EL34-based integrated The Heco I suggested is similar to the Devore 0/96, a German version if you will although the styling is more art deco. At the 2300.00 used price it is way under what a used 0/96 sells for. | |
| Best high-efficiency speaker for Unison S6 EL34-based integrated There's a pair of high efficiency Heco Direkt listed now for 2300.00. They received an outstanding review in the U.K. magazine Hi Fi Choice. No personal experience however and no relation to the seller. | |
| 10" subwoofer around $500, used or new? My recommendation is Gallo TR 1D 595.00 new. It is a sealed design and is much smaller than any of the box design subs. | |
| What's been playing on your turntable and what turntable is it ? This morning before work I listened to both sides of Linda Ronstadt "Hasten down the wind". A fabulous way to start the day. Turntable is an Origin Live Resolution with Encounter Mk 3 arm and Ortofon Quintet black cartridge. | |
| Are you using DH Labs? I use Q-10 bi wire speaker cables which work fine with three different amps and two very different speakers. I also have the Revelation IC's in both rca and xlr which are not currently being used. | |
| What CD player/transport has the most stable mechanism? I'm with rockanroller on this one. The old Sony ES are hard to beat. I'm using an X779 es for years and years. | |
| Need Recommendation for Turntable--$2-3k New: Origin Live Aurora with silver arm or an alternative Gem Dandy Polytable with Jelco 750 arm and optional speed control. | |
| Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC??? Why not buy a used Hugo to see if you like the Chord sound? Plus no fancy power cord or conditioner needed. You might find it is all you need as I did. | |
| Tube vs Solid State If the bass crossover is the same as the older 800 series (350hz) two different amps will be totally audible and not in a good way. You will not achieve your goal going down the different amp biamp path. | |
| Comparing these CD players with my gear... Personally, I have a preference for old Sony ES models from the 90's. They are built like a tank, 40 lbs plus.. Currently using an X779 ES as a transport. It was purchased over 17 yrs ago for 350.00. The Sony continues to run long after the Lin... | |
| Comparing these CD players with my gear... Keep the cd player you now have, as long as it has a digital out. Add either the Chord Mojo listed on Agon for 449.00 or the Hugo for 1200.00. You will not achieve better redbook than the Hugo unless you spring for a Dave. | |
| Phono preamp power cable not long enough. New wall wart or use an extension cord? lewm, the phono preamp (vacuum state JLTI) and phono motor controller (origin live) are the only components in my system with wall wart power supplies. In theory, the Triton's outlets should not be subject to any influence from the wall warts, bu... |
