| The last 6 feet - is it important? I've wanted to try upgraded power cords but for years I had captive power cords on my equipment. With the integrated I have now I was able to try different cords. I put a 14g shielded Belden on and it was such a profound improvement a couple of we... | |
| The last 6 feet - is it important? "Like the look of their Silver Electra 7's"Yes, me too. The Silver Electra is out of my budget though. Eventually I'm going to put the Stratus on my iMac and get an Electra for my amp.Over the past couple of months I have replaced all my cabling a... | |
| The last 6 feet - is it important? Williiewonka, I'm using a WireWorld Stratus PC. A max length is not specified. A came across the six foot minimum spec from a review I read and talking with WireWorld. | |
| The last 6 feet - is it important? Drubin, yes the PC I use is one that is considered a power conditioning cord.Williewonka, I'm not surprised you find the 6.5ft cable more dynamic. The manufacture of my PC recommends a minimum of 6ft for best performance. | |
| The last 6 feet - is it important? A simple analogy that helps me in understanding why a good PC could help is the purpose of a water filter on your faucet at home. After miles of pipe from the water treatment plant then through all your homes plumbing how in the world could a litt... | |
| Speaker cable made you say: WireWorld Oasis. Been reading about them for years. In the last six months I had decided to work on the cabling of my system. I started with a WireWorld UltraViolet USB cable and have just completed a WireWorld suite for my system.I had used Analy... | |
| Small System Rebuild. Need Integrated Amp Lots of great suggestions. The Marantz would be a good choice. The 326BEE and 356BEE would be nice as well. I have the 320BEE and 325BEE. Both sound great but I will add the reliability would concern me if I bought another NAD. Another you should ... | |
| Best Integrated for Martin Logan Motion 12's? Paraneer is correct about the Marantz and the Music Hall. Some great integrateds out there for $1k new or pre-owned. | |
| Best Integrated for Martin Logan Motion 12's? I hesitate to suggest this because it is only 50 watts but the Arcam FMJ A19 might be one to look at. I have one and love it. I'm using it with a Klipsch speaker that, while efficient, has a 12" woofer and 12" passive radiator also. If that woofer... | |
| Help with new speakers You have many great speakers to choose from. Like many, I've listened at length to lots of speakers such as, B&w 800 series, Paradigm , Vandersteen, Maggies, etc. Great stuff!I want to add though that I wish I could afford and have your Tribut... | |
| Analysis Plus vs. Audience Sorry I couldn't help you with a comparison. The way you describe the comparison between the Audience and the AP makes me believe the Audience would have been very good with my last set up. Thanks for your take between them. Good luck with your de... | |
| Analysis Plus vs. Audience Zavato, I missed the fact that you have lived with the Solo Crystal Oval/Oval 9 combo. I found the Oval 9 to be great in my set up. In my system the Solo interconnect was detailed and transparent. I have always wanted to try the Audience. I hope y... | |
| Analysis Plus vs. Audience I lived with the Solo Crystal Oval/Oval 9 IC/SC combo for 8 years. They are good cables. I agree with Grey9hound's assessment of the Solo Crystal Oval IC. They could work well in the right set-up but I would definitely want to demo them in any sys... | |
| Upgrade from AQ King Cobra to Columbia DBS Thanks, Mesch. I look forward to reading your impressions. I have different speakers now and I may demo the Columbias again. They are smooth and lively and might work better with the speakers I a using now. | |
| Upgrade from AQ King Cobra to Columbia DBS @Mesch, could you talk a bit about how the Columbia improved you music over the KC. I demoed a new pair of Columbia a couple of weeks ago. I had it my system for 7 days so it had settled in and I got a decent handle on its sound. I did like it. It... |
