| SACDmods.com comments re mods on denon 2910 I don't have experience with the SACD mods, but I have a 2910 and thought of modding it for better audio, but I listened to a modded 3910 and it still didn't impress me, (think this was a HRAM mod). I ended up getting a Bel Canto PL-2 which seems ... | |
| speaker comparison I have the Helicon 800's, and I have heard the Hyperions before. I am not an expert on the Hyperions by any means, but my impression of them was a far lesser speaker than the Dali's though I heard them with different equipment so as always you res... | |
| Denon 2910 vs Denon 3910 The 3910 will have basically identical video and digital audio performance, the cost increase is for a better analog output stage and nicer chassis. The 3910 to me sounded very similar to the 2910 but with a bit more bass and drive. Both sound a l... | |
| which is better for home theater I am using Bel Canto Eone 1000's and I like them as least as much as my old Pass X350, and are a tiny box that generates no heat. Six Moons just posted a review as well, and I think they liked them as much as I do. Just my two cents. | |
| just setting up for the FIRST time... Not sure how much the Audioquest is, but I have used Signal Cable Ultra shotguns in a very expensive system and they performed extremely well, so it may be one to look at as well. I second the stands, for monitors this is your biggest tweak. Make ... | |
| What's wrong with a DVD player as a transport? Many new CD players are using DVD or computer derived ROM drives. I am no expert, but it seems to me very few CDPs use a dedicated CD drive anymore, and a well designed and executed DVD player should be equal or possibly superior from what I can g... | |
| listening to music in the car Goat and Nil, I understand there are better systems than stock, however many of these create their own issues due to the inherent disadvantages of a cars interior. I have listened to some aftermarket car audio that sounded pretty good, though it i... | |
| listening to music in the car MrTennis, I drive a new car every one to three months as I work for a manufacturer and I can clearly say I have never heard ANY of our audio systems including those that are very expensive upgrades that were even close to as enjoyable as my home s... | |
| New 11' x 7' listening room....small speaker? Try the GR Research Criterions, I think they are also being built still by RAW Acoustics in Canada. These are very affordable monitors that sound excellent in the nearfield. | |
| BPT 2.0 vs Audio Magic Stealth Power Conditioner? I can't speak for the Stealth, but I added a BPT 2.5 Signature to my system and I can't help sounding like an advertisement for it....I have tried the PS Audio regenerators and ultimate outlets, Exact Power, Shunyata Hydra, and a few others that w... | |
| I've come to the realization... A cheap one to try out would be Signal Cable's analog 2 with Eichmann RCA's...I found these to be pretty warm sounding and are very cheap compared to most cables...Also I recently added a Balanced power tech conditioner and power cables...this rea... | |
| Power Conditioner to replace my Monster 3600 I have tried Nordost, Shunyata, Exacy power, PS Audio, and others over the past few years....I bought a Balanced Power Tech 2.5 signature and it blows them all away...you can get into one of their units very affordably as well...I gave up on the P... | |
| avoiding component purchase errors :part 2 If you are not interested in trial and error, or if you do not wish to change the sound of your system, why would you be on Audiogon anyhow? Anyone who was happy with the sound of their system and content in this "intermediate" level of sound woul... | |
| "High end" cartridge use on VPI SCOUT?? I am using a 10x5 which replaced a more expensive Clearaudio Virtuosos Wood, and it sounds fantastic while tracking better than the Clearaudio as well. I would not consider a sub $400 cartridge to be "high end" on a $1600 table, and the Scout in p... | |
| How do I warm up my system? One way is to do just that, keep your components on all the time, they will be much more musical as it takes upwards of an hour for many devices to truly "warm up" if they are shut off for a while. Second area I would look at is your Sony CD...it ... |
