| Supporting Heavy Virtual Dynamics Power Cords The VD cords do pose quite a bit of a problem. Firstly, they need to be pre-bent into shape so that the female end can roughly fit into the socket of the equipment. To secure the female connector, I use CD cases and folded paper sheets to support ... | |
| Best amp for Sonus Faber Cremona M - need help As for solid state... Personally I would like something of at least 200 watts per channel. Maybe Musical Fidelity would be something or Plinius? These are still affordable here.I would be extremely careful with Plinius. Although not exactly the sa... | |
| Does anyone out there NOT hear a difference in CD Mrtennis, I feel that you have a knack of twisting and playing with words. You mentioned that no system is neutral and one shall accept imperfection as reality. Please kindly elucidate how would you qualify a system as "imperfect". You mentioned t... | |
| Usher CP-63XX owners, have you added Lead Shot? The issue of lead shot being used in speaker stands has come up in the past quite frequently, and I agree with most that discourage the use of this material in domestic applications. In my opinion, it is not worthwhile to use something that has po... | |
| Upgrade Options for BPT Pure Power Center After a few more hours of listening yesterday night, I now can confirm that this thing really made a difference in my system. The most prominent was the background noise that was significantly reduced. I have confirmed this my playing a particular... | |
| Upgrade Options for BPT Pure Power Center I have received the BPT with Oyaide R-1 and Bybee Quantum Purifiers. Out from the box, the sound has improved slightly -difficult to describe the differences. It seems like the sound was more 3-d like and instruments have more body and sounded mor... | |
| B&W speakers and SF lower end Click on this link to search the archives. Just type in the keyword "B&W 805S" or "Sonus faber" or "Concertino" etc. | |
| B&W speakers and SF lower end I've owned the Sonus Faber Grand Piano, listened to the Concertino and own the B&W N805 and CDM1SE. If you listen to mostly slow jazz and vocals, the Sonus Fabers will be more suitable. If your musical range is wider, the B&W's may be more... | |
| Does anyone out there NOT hear a difference in CD Mostly good responses. I agree on the system's resolution part which suggests that a system with higher resolution will yield a bigger difference in sound with respect to better CDPs. When I had a fairly low-end system, I couldn't seem to hear aud... | |
| possible upgrade to biwire speakers As suggested above, biwireable speakers don't necessarily guarantee better sound and shouldn't be considered as a feature when shopping for speakers. Also, non-biwireable speakers allow the use of a single run of high-quality speaker cable which w... | |
| Which Integrated Amp for B&W 703s? Since nobody has answered this yet, I would suggest Classe CAP-151 as an alternative. The Krell KAV-400XI would be more punchy and dynamic while the Classe will be smoother and warmer. There are many other alternatives available so I will leave it... | |
| Does All in the Family = Synergy ? in Nordost? I think I understand what you are trying to accomplish. You are afraid that the lower quality Nordost Blue Heaven i/c between your preamp and amp may be the limiting factor if you consider higher quality(more expensive) speaker cables and i/c betw... | |
| What speakers to get? Focal or B&W 05-20-08: MapmanI've found the B&Ws are very British....more laid back and refined with what I've found to be a very "warm" sound.05-20-08: Jamesw20I've owned several pair of b&w's and find the treble to be thin.That just shows how subject... | |
| mo' better bass: any substitute for watts? Generally speaking, a more powerful amp may give better bass but it also depends on the character of the amp itself. I am pretty sure you will get better and more defined bass if you substitute your 35W NAD amp with say a Krell integrated. Also, J... |
