| Top Ten Interconnects of all time... In my system, the NBS Monitor I XLR interconnects sounded the best. I sold my JPS Superconductor II's and Nordost SPM XLR's once I heard the detail and overall sound from the NBS Monitor I. | |

| Is 15W enough to drive Dyn 3.3? I recall the documentation that came with the Dynaudio Contour 3.3's, suggesting a minimum of 100 wpc. | |
| Top Ten Tweaks Black Diamond Racing The SHELF *****The carbon fiber shelves have 25 times the resistance to resonance of 8 inches of Granite and 4 times the damping of 2 inches of MDF. It made a major improvement on sound and snapped the soundstage into a tighte... | |
| infiniti cap signature upgrade for ARC Have you tried Audio Research Corporation. www.audioresearch.com There phone number is 763-577-9700. Another possibility is Lenbrook Industries, phone# 781-784-8586. They did a v.4 upgrade on my ARC Ref. 1. | |

| Plinius SA250 Mk.4 vs. Pass Labs X350 I emailed support at Plinius to ask the very same question about the Mk. III vs. IV. I'll post the answer when I receive it. | |
| Plinius SA250 Mk.4 vs. Pass Labs X350 Unfortunately, I live in the Sierra Nevada Mountains near Yosemite Park. The closest high end audio stores are three hours away and they don't carry either Plinius or Pass Labs. To go to the greater Los Angeles area to hear these units would be ov... | |
| Monoblocks or upgrade to larger amp? Looks like the 250 Mk.IV is the choice. | |
| Bit perfect copies I use to burn cd-r's directly from the source and I heard clicks and other occasional distortions. I now extract the music from the source and save it onto the computer. I then burn it a 1X (the original speed) and they sound excellent. Also some ... | |
| My CD player won't read CDR or CDRW I found that certain brands of CD-R's don't work well with high end equipment. Memorex completely sucks, TDK are very blue in color and many CD players can't read them. Maxell aren't bad. Sony CD-R's seem to be the most reliable. I thought you can... | |
| Monoblocks or upgrade to larger amp? Thanks, everyone. Redkiwi, let your friend know that cables have a major impact on the sound. I've tried JPS Superconductors II, Harmonic Tech. Pro, Silver Hyacinths, Transparent Super and Ultra (highly overrated), Nordost SPM's and NBS Monitor IV... | |
| Monoblocks or upgrade to larger amp? The Dynaudio's only have one set of input terminals, so bi-amping isn't possible. | |
| Bi-Amp or Upgrade to larger amp??? I'm going to repost this thread as I meant to write using the SA100's as monoblocks and not bi-amping. Must have been a brain phart! | |
| Bi-Amp or Upgrade to larger amp??? Thanks, everyone. I did mean using two SA100 MkIII as monoblocks. But it sounds like I'd do better to upgrade to the SA 250 Mk. IV. I have to say that the combination of the Audio Research REF 1 and the Plinius Amp is spendid. After about two year... |
