| HT Sound quality - tube versus solid state amplification Maxwave, I agree that dynamics are very important in a home theater set up but musicality can take movies to a whole new level. A really great audiophile system makes the musical scores in movies so much better that it pulls you in to the movie... | |
| HT Sound quality - tube versus solid state amplification I have the same type of set up that Carlsbad has and couldn’t agree more with him. I will add that the type of tube you have will determine how well the set up blends in with the solid state 5 channel amp that I have powering the center and surro... | |
| Best amp pairing for Focal Kanta 1s I had an Octave Audio integrated with my sopras. Loved and still love the Octave sound with Focal. Good luck! | |
| HDMI from TV for longish run to stereo system I would go with Wireworld or Audioquest fiber optic if you can. I’ve had good luck with both for a 50’ long run to my projector. | |
| Chord Dave and lInear power supply For those of you who have the new Farad upgraded DAVE, what power cords are you using with it? Thanks | |
| Reterminating Audioquest Hurricane HC I have a Hurricane high current that I sent in to Audioquest to be reterminated from a c15 to a c19 a couple of years ago. When returned they sent me back the c15 plug as well. Since then I’ve changed the plugs out myself depending on my needs ... | |
| Clarity Audio Cables Yes, I just bought some Vortex’s power cables from Clarity Cable a few weeks ago. You’ll just need to email Melissa. Her email is on their website. | |
| Chord Dave and lInear power supply shkong78, Yes, I agree, much more lively and dynamic! I’m using a Wireworld platinum AES/EBU digital cable right now from my N20 to my DAVE so I may try out a good copper cable and see how that sounds. lalitk, Absolutely! Love your system ... | |
| Chord Dave and lInear power supply I installed mine last week and it’s been settling in. Overall I agree with what everyone has said. It improves everything the Dave does well- depth of soundstage as improved and I’ve noticed increased transparency. Some lyrics that were smear... | |
| Octave HP-700se and Accuphase C-2150 Preamp Question I have the Octave HP700 with the MRE220 monoblocs and love it- Very neutral but has great depth and width to the soundstage. Of course everything is system dependent. I suggest trying them both in your system is you can. | |
| Chord Dave and lInear power supply Thanks everyone! I should receive the PSU the week after next. I’m looking forward to trying it out. | |
| Chord Dave and lInear power supply Well I took the plunge and ordered a Farad PS for my Chord DAVE. Fingers crossed!!! | |
| Chord Dave and lInear power supply Thanks I’ve been looking at the Ideon Absolute as well as the Playback Designs Dream DAC. A lot of money for those, but if I can upgrade my DAVE for far less that may be a good option. | |
| Chord Dave and lInear power supply Shkong78, Did you buy the upgraded furutech and SR fuse with the power supply? Based on the 3k price you paid I would assume so. I’ve been very happy with my chord DAVE over the years but your post has me considering an upgrade. Thanks | |
| Doubling a Set of Speaker Cables Yes, shouldn’t be an issue. By the way I have two sets of Wireworld Eclipse 8s speaker cables on my system and I noticed more weight and authority to the music once I added the second pair. |
