| B&W 805 to 804 The upgrade will be well worth it. Contrary to popular belief, well designed large speakers do not need to be played loud in order to sound good. It is actually the other way round, they sound so good and lively (transient response) that you can't... | |
| Upgrading / tweaks - crossover, wiring, support You have done the major upgrade (triamping). Your DM6's must be dancing like "Happy Feet".I am not sure if it is worth going any further than the caps (unless you enjoy the fun of soldering). Before tackling stands, have you considered room acoust... | |
| Cable Isolation Absolutely. Power cables are usually unshielded. Faraday's law applies. Although a few coils is unlikely to matter unless it is close to a very low level signal like a TT cartridge. | |
| a basic question on HD This STARTS at (a minimum!) 1920x1080 Absolutely agree with Elizabeth. That is why I have still have a Sony HD CRT that can acommodate for a variety of signals. The pixel issue is a big problem until standards converge. If you ever tried using th... | |
| 40ft: speaker cable or interconnect? If you have balanced circuitry go for the long IC. If you have ordinary RCA then stick with the longer speaker cable. I don't think it is worth replacing a bunch of equipment for the sake of 15 extra feet of speaker wire. You could try a blind tes... | |
| Tweak your AC mains for better performance, free I turned on my audio system, the sonics really improved. The soundstage had opened up with more width and depth, fullness was improved, and so was the overall resolution and presence of the system. I noticed it immediately, and then remembered th... | |
| Any problem with a long power cord? I'm with Rlwainwright. Do not worry about this until you get to lengths of around 100 feet. | |
| Upgrading Entire System...please help I think you can do extremely well for 6 K especially second hand. I would not worry about CD or Amplifier except to get the features you want and at a good bargain price (second hand - so just keep an eye out - use audiogon bluebook). Speakers hav... | |
| The Cost of Cables Provide an electrical conductor from point A to point B, with insulation on the outside. People can understand that, and question why it costs so much. An audio amplifier is a bit of a mystery to many audiophiles, and they are more easily convinc... | |
| Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it. I gave up on Vinyl in 1985, that was the last time I bought a Vinyl album. Clearly I am blessed with "tin ears". I know all to well that Vinyl can sound excellent - I used to buy Japanese pressings and 12" 45 rpm singles whenever I could. However,... | |
| I Need a Power Amp for my Studio Monitors Bryston are excellent value for power amps. They do run very hot. If "unrefined" implies lacking in coloration then they are unrefined, IMHO. If you like SS designs and are not frightened by the negative feedback boogeyman then Bryston is a solid ... | |
| PMC vs. ATC pmc's are consistantly outstanding throughout the line, though pretty much the 'imf' or 'tdl' of today. I agree PMC's are good. the atc is still a brand searching for a sound, a personality, a classic design or two. way overpriced for the same de... | |
| Recommended in-wall Speakers? Check my virtual system. I have in wall mounted speakers in almost every room. All B&W. | |
