| Cables for McIntosh Equipment i personally hated AP speaker cables on my 501s. couldn't get rid of them fast enough.speaker cables i did like: isoclean, prana and kubala sosna. plenty of choices. power cords: stage 3 concepts do the job nicely. | |
| Wilson Audio's New Sound? i own WP6s and despite their well known strengths, i hated the sound stock---too bright, etched, disjointed, aggressive. adding the DIY equivalent of Walker HDLs to the Watt changed that (numerous visitors to my rig all corroborated my findings). ... | |
| can wadia i170 house IPod in protective case? once the ipod is sealed in the case, it requires a screwdriver to pry the case apart. | |
| Speaker suggestion for Lamm ML2.1 amps would also suspect that any cables b/w amps & speakers that have impedance matching circuits in line (transparent / MIT) would help address bass rolloff. | |
| how big a speaker can you put in an 11 x 11 room? it is only the bass response of the speaker that will cause problems, so if you're willing to do either of the following, it will greatly expand your options and ability to get a larger speaker to sound good in that room:1) room treatments (bass t... | |
| What's the farthest you've traveled for live music just flew across half the nation to catch 3 phish shows in miami to close 2009. some bands you do it with. phish is one. grateful dead were one. | |
| Indie/alternative artists that keep things simple Modest Mouse "Moon & Ant" is as good a rec as you'll get, SStevens "Illinoise" as well.throw this into the mix: Brian Jonestown Massacre "Tepid Peppermint Wonderland". some great tracks.also, for something darker, Espers 2. | |
| Do you think Modwright 36.5 sound like SS preamp ? i had it for review; no, it does not. ---very musical and bloomy (when used w/o outboard PS), not a detail freak, sweet treble. nice piece. could live with it no problem. | |
| Review: Bybee Technologies Gold SlipStream Purifier Tweak they're similar in effect, but different in practice. in my review, i cited that the DX did some things to some CDs that i didn't like; i've not found CDs that i didn't like the effect the bybees were having.friends of mine use jorma prime ICs; wh... | |
| Emmlabs CDSA very musical, great microdynamics & detail in a musically satisfying way. world class imaging, treble & tone. weaknesses incl deep bass depth & impact (vs esoteric XO1d2), build quality could definitely be better, slow response time. n... | |
| Purepower 2000 & Synergistic Powercell 10SE dlccockrumis the 10SE the only synergistic component, or did you have to go whole hog w/ cabling all around by SR in order to receive the benefits of the SE? i've read somewhere that the 10se needs to see SR cabling...and my BS-ometer went up.tia | |
| Matching Replacement Woofers buddy of mine replaced stock watt puppy woofer with an aftermarket part...diff surround, diff material, but could not tell any diff in sound (whereas we can and do hear big diffs w/ plating on AC plugs).just get the specs right and you should be f... | |
| Parasound JC2 vs Modwright 36.5 familiar w/ both units. both are terrific, neither is perfect, but one would be better than others in most applications.modwright: sweet unit, highly musical, bit more tube bloom, very easy to listen to, not as detailed, dynamic or delineated in s... | |
| Lamm ML2, VLadimirs best effort to date? binding posts do make a big diff IME, and the superior electric posts he used in the ML2s are regarded as the best avail (very little actual metal on them---ala eichmann bullet plugs).i'd get the 2.1s and swap the superior posts in. you will notic... | |
