| Anyone here with Magico A3 driven by Bel Canto Ref600's? @tgun5 I really feel for you man. You asked for help and got an endless, condescending, arrogant, unwanted diatribe. This retailer will not back down even when ask to. Out of the 38 responses, he represents approximately 1/3 of them....unbeliev... | |
| High quality in-wall UL-C2 rated 10-gauge A/C wiring ? About 4 months ago I ran 2 runs (40' each) of the Audience Hidden Treasure in-wall AC cable to my system. I paid $18 per foot for it and used 2 Furutech GTX-D NCF (R) outlets. Audience is located in San Diego, Ca. and I live in Los Angeles, Ca. ... | |
| Alon 4 or JBL590? @spa317 I can't help you with your comparison of the 2 speakers but I can give you my 2 cents on the Alon 4's. They were my first real high-end speaker and I really liked them. As racamuti said they need a powerful amp to drive them. At the ti... | |
| Home Demo Faceoff: Nordost / Audioquest / Transparent Nice review nyev. I have an all Nordost system with a mix of Valhalla2 and Odin1. While you are at it you should ask your retailer to let you demo Sort Fut and Sort Kones (TC)....I also have an Innuos Zenith mk2 SE that I really like. I had an ... | |
| Looking for Room Measurement / Speaker Setup Software I use the parametric EQ in Roon to tame a 7db peak @ 40hz in my room. I can control the frequency, gain and Q all in the digital domain....Completely transparent. I used the XTZ Room Analyzer 2 Pro and my computer to measure the room. You would... | |
| Anthem has a sale next month @erik_squires I looked at 2 online Anthem retailers and have not found a sale. Where do I find the sale? Thx | |
| Your favourite Rush albums? Permanent WavesPower WindowsMoving PicturesMy very first concert was the last show of the Kiss/Rush tour June 7, 1975 in San Diego, Ca. At the end of Rush's set (while playing Working Man) Kiss came on stage with cream pies and threw pies at Al, ... | |
| Melody Gardot, Live in Europe Over the Rainbow from 'My One and Only Thrill' and Mira from 'The Absence' are a couple of my favorites. | |
| referencing vs plug & play @kosst_amojanCompletely agree with you | |
| Power Conditioner In my systems I've found using power conditioners restrict the sound in some way. I use a Nordost Qbase 8 (distribution strip) for preamp and sources. I also found that plugging my amp directly into the wall outlet (Furutech) sounded best. Sorr... | |
| Speaker With Least Room Interaction I had the most success using Roon’s DSP EQ. It’s free (if you use Roon) and easy to use. You will also need to acquire software to measure your room to find out where the problem peaks are. The software I used suggested how much to attenuate the p... | |
| Speaker With Least Room Interaction For years I had rear ported then floor ported speakers. I was always fighting boomy bass. I tried room treatments and digital EQ (Roon) that helped a lot but nothing helped as much as going to a small floor standing sealed cabinet design. | |
| Dealer Behavior @bsimpson Totally agree with you about GTT Audio. Bill Parish is extremely knowledgeable and a great guy....very patient and a pleasure to deal with. | |
| Nordost Valhalla 2 Power Cord Worth It? Over Audioquest Hurricane? Your closest Nordost retailer should be able to loan you a Valhalla 2 power cord to try in your system. If they don't have one available Nordost has loaner Valhalla 2 cables that they will send to your retailer for you to demo in your home. I'v... | |
| What power cord do you like most on your amp ? I've owned several Classe amps and always used Nordost PC's with them with excellent results. I would look to the used market if you go with Nordost. BTW.... I have 2 CPCC's Top Gun Specials that have been in a box in my garage for over 10 years... |
