| Need help with IC upgrade Cardas Golden Cross Adasilva - I have decided to try and satisfy with all copper only and am on a quest to do so. Have not yet settled on cabling - still trying out different models. So far unable to better the MAGIC links using only copper. | |
| Need help with IC upgrade Cardas Golden Cross Harmonic Tech MAGIC Link II would give you what you want. Clarity and amazing soundstage and imaging. Excellent cables. Disclaimer: I have a pair for sale. | |
| the greatest pop song ever? "The Weight" by The Band is my pick. Some good candidates so far. | |
| Speakers for 3K Ar first I experienced what Bjesien did with the Zus. But once Zu set them up properly the fatigue factor disappeared. (Not saying that was Bj's issue, just relating my experience.) Setting these up properly is very important. Improper toe-in did ... | |
| Speakers for 3K I like Zu Essence best for that price point. Very easy to drive (can do so with as little as 3-5 watts), dynamic, great tone, and no sub required if properly set up. | |
| High pass and low pass filters It might be a good place to start but likely not end there. Many variables at play here: room; sub position; steepness of frequency roll off or cut off in the filters; etc. Chances are, with everything set at 80Hz, everything will play somewhat ab... | |
| Speaker Question...first post on the gon Congrats! Ty's PDs do look interesting. Please report back on those. Would love to hear them myself one day. Hey, I know, crank them up to 11 and open your windows and perhaps I will ;^} | |

| Best driving music. Jimmy Reed for a lazy drive; Motorhead for a frenetic drive. | |
| New Blue Note XRCDs Rsorrenl - Agree that the music is great (have Sonny Clark, Tina Brooks, Hank Mobley, all on standard Red Book), but as far as the playback quality, did you compare these to the standard Red Book? | |
| Would adding another REL STRATA Help? I'd always use minimum of two subs regardless of room size. So yes, go for another! place one of them near center of one side wall. The other wherever you get smoothest response. | |
| Cable upgrades for Quicksilver linestage preamp? What is it you do not like (sound too bright? too dull? too much bass? not enough? etc.)? And is it a brand new preamp or used? | |
| Your First Vinyl Album. Either Johnny Winter, "Second Winter", or Savoy Brown, "A Step Further", cannot recall which was first, though they were the first two. $3.99 at the Woolworth IIRC. Of course, that's if you paid retail. My friend's sister worked the cash register ... |
