| Can POWER CORDS really make that big a difference? Yes, but not always for the better. As others have suggested, i would "try before buying" i.e. pick some up from a dealer or company that allows returns if you don't like the results. Some cords seem to have very strong sonic signatures whereas ot... | |
| Goertz MI2 Python...bright??? Never tried the Python's, but their "standard" flat MI-2 sounds like it will give you what you want. This cable is higher in capacitance though, so it would be best to check with a KNOWLEDGEABLE dealer as to if you'll need the impedance compensati... | |
| Proceed Transport & Kora DAC compatability problem Simple stuff first:1) Have you tried using a different cable between transport & DAC ?2) Are you using any type of "jitterbox" between transport & DAC ? If so, remove it and make a direct connection.3) Are there any type of switches to sel... | |
| Any good HT websites... Thanks Francisco, i'll take a look at it this week-end. Sean> | |
| Best speakers in 2k-3k price point Duke, nice post and glad to see that you've joined the "I just wrote a novel" club : ) As to the Shahinian's, i think that you need an amp with great speed and control on the bottom end to get the best out of them. Otherwise, they can come across ... | |
| Kimber cable - good or bad? My HT system is bi-wired with Kimber 8TC on the lows and 4TC on the mid's / high's. I found this to be the most synergistic combo for that specific system. Like anything else though, it is a matter of personal tastes, budget and individual system ... | |
| In this corner, weighing in at.... Money left over after the upgrade ??? Money ? Who's got money ??? I've been getting all of this stuff based on my "good looks" : ) Actually Greg, i'm one of those people that like to live in the real world ( or at least think that i do ). A produc... | |
| 7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? Mark, there are manufacturers that already make the claim of their components NOT being cable sensitive i.e. all cables sound and measure the same within the confines of their system. The first that come to mind are Krell ( with their CAST system ... | |
| Totally Confused about home theater Tim, this was a dedicated A/V room and set up as such. There is no excess clutter, acoustics were taken into consideration, the system was dialed in using their "in-house professional testing methods", etc... The thing that i think REALLY killed t... | |
| tough sounds to reproduce ??? Are there any specific discs with good recordings of the above mentioned noises ? In other words, music based discs that also have "noises" that fall into the tough to reproduce category but are good enough recordings to judge system resolution by... | |
| RCA plugs that don't fit. While i've never had such a severe problem as you mention, i have had some RCA's that are very, very tight fits. As Paulwp mentions, i've never seen a locking or "clamping" connector that could not be loosened up enough to slide it on. Most of my ... | |
| 7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? Paul, sorry to ruin your day, but i'm going to respond to your post.First of all, this is a forum open to all members and anybody can respond. Even if you, me or someone else doesn't like the person or what they have to say.Secondly, you're questi... | |
| Top Ten Speakers of All Time? Duke, all of your selections are REALLY bad. Should you happen to take any of those as trade-ins out of pity for their owners, i'll try to help you to keep your show room clean and "litter free" by taking them for a small fee ( out of pity for you... | |
| Carver Silver 7t's The amps that he chose to emulate were C-J tube amps if i remember correctly. The "T" stands for "Transfer function", as that is what he was trying to duplicate i.e. the overall performance or "transfer function" of the amp in question. In order t... | |
| Amp for Vandersteen 3Asig. Try calling Richard and see what he says. He had told me before that he likes and recommends ARC tube products with his speakers. Then again, maybe you have slightly different tastes than he does, but i doubt it. After all, you did buy his speaker... |
