| How much money for your next interconnect cable??? Sugarbrie, I have a pair of the older 4/80 Siltechs and they are very special to me. The only interconnects I'll be adding to my system will be a used pair of Von Gaylord Chinchilla, but they are rare these days. | |
| Cables - When Did it All Start? My first experience in noticing that cables made a difference is when I replaced my Monster cables interconnects and speaker cables with the first series of MIT Music Hose 750 speaker cables and 330 interconnects( @ 1978). I bought them used on Au... | |
| Pass Labs XA-160 vs Levinson 33H Tboooe, Have you considered auditioning a McCormack DNA-500: http://iar-80.com/page5.html | |
| Pass Labs XA-160 vs Levinson 33H Pbb, I guess brains was a poor choice. I was quoting someone else. I suppose a better choice of words for the amp would be the muscles and nerve center. Bottom line is correct matching of amp and speakers taking into consideration room size and ch... | |
| Pass Labs XA-160 vs Levinson 33H Tboooe, I have to disagree on your comment of amps having the least influence on the sound. As someone once said, the preamp is the heart of your system and the amp is your brain. The amp and speaker synergy is just as important as the impedance m... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier La45, Can you tell me what mods Joseph did to your Toshiba SD-3990? Also, a brief description of sound of CD's before and after mods? How much for the mod? | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? Donpark1439, Here is Priz's post: "Les3547. Im one of the few that were not impressed with the Audio Metallurgy GA-Os. They sounded hard in the midrange. I used them between an APL modded 3910 and an Accustic Arts Amp II HC. My speakers are Zu D... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I forgot to mention that amps and speakers also have to be matched up properly. Another tough decision for Joseph because of the wide variety of speakers in our systems. Yes, I can understand with Grannyring's recommendation of a 200W amp, but wha... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Joseph might agree with you guys regarding SS amps. I believe he has a pair of Levinson monoblocks( personally tweaked and modded) in his personal system. Victor has a pair of older VTL monoblocks which Joseph also tweaked and modded for him. Righ... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier I have a Harman/Kardon Citation Eighteen tuner that Joseph modded about a year or so ago for me. It's the only solid state component in my system. I can't imagine it sounding better. I wonder what this new tube buffer would do to the sound? | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Victor, I also have no anxieties about what you wrote. I have very good center staging with my preamp, but careful room placement of my speakers and proper room acoustics has played the larger role in that department. I have to admit that Joseph d... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Victor, Gammajo took the words right out of my mouth. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier You're welcome, Ozzy. Once you get back home for some serious listening evaluations, I look forward to your impressions. | |
| PC & Dedicated Power Lines Questions Your Porterports will actually improve in performance with a few more days of break-in. Especially being cryo'd, they need to go through a brief burn-in period. Enjoy. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier Ozzy, I would allow at least 60 hours of continous play before you do some serious listening. Maybe you can put a tuner on it while you are gone to slowly break it in. The Hovland caps, as well as the Blackgates take a few days to settle in so the... |
