| Audio equipment reviews Nobody wants to review crap gear, there is plenty of good gear to review. | |
| Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy? I don't have any expensive cables, just mid-line Kimber, Audio Quest, etc. But, cables get swapped out depending on the systems needs. That changes as equipment changes. I don't believe in one cable serves all masters. Cables needs to be tuned jus... | |
| EL 34 tubes I like my Gold Lion KT88s, I'm going to try the EL-34s next time I need some. | |
| Replacement for 802 D3s beach2mtn,The B&W 802 D3s are fine loudspeakers. I'm kind of surprised that they didn't work out for you. But on the otherhand my Mac402 just didn't have any bounce to it, it was just a tad dull and flat. My brother had six of them on his gi... | |
| Do I expect too much? There are many kinds of nuts but inserts are not nuts. Basically a screw goes into a blind hole and bolts have nuts. So the use of the screw/bolt changes it's name but it can be the same part. | |
| Replacement for 802 D3s Not to get off course but I think your Mac gear is holding you back. If you want to keep the Mac (and it's certainly quality gear) you will want speakers that are lively. That will perk up your whole system. Maybe one of the Triangle Magellan seri... | |
| Do I expect too much? "...For another these screws (maybe they are bolts - it’s a close call)..."If it has a nut, it's a bolt. No nut, it's a screw. FYI: An angular torque measurement is actually a very good way to properly torque (stretch a screw). | |
| Moving audio gear in sub zero temperatures Properly boxed up the inside temperature is going to be higher than ambient. | |
| Lyngdorf with Maggies "...how Room Perfect does with dipoles..."I can't answer that but I can ask you; "How do you work with Maggies? Can you pull them 6 feet out into the room? Can you put them where they need to be? Can you feed them the power they need? What's your... | |
| Yamaha vs Rotel "... Where do you guys think Cambridge amps fall..."I've owned a 40WPC and an 80wpc Cambridge Integrated. They were just OK, nothing special. | |
| Interconnect RCA Cables between Preamp to Poweramp Solid copper for more a more warm sound, silver for more high end extension...generally speaking. | |
| Lyngdorf with Maggies The spec suggest it might be a little weak for 1.6s. I have a lot of listening time with 1.6s, I would recommend this: Musical Fidelity | M6si Integrated Amplifier | |
| Anything SS sounds better than D'Agostino ? "...Your DAC, headphones and hearing must be good..."Recorded using the best tube pre-amp microphone or just an Iphone? | |
| What is a good base for speakers For solid bass you need a solid base. I base this on solid experience. You may find it baseless. | |
| Amp and Pre-Amp suggestions needed If they are like the old OHM Fs, you'll want some serious amps on those. A Parasound A21 at the minimum, better yet a pair of JC-1s. |
