| Acoustic zen hologram 2 with spades I would stick with spades on those cables, but have them reterminated to larger spades. Bananas on such a heavy, thick cable will put a lot of pressure on the binding posts and could cause damage. A spade will offer a much better connection.Just m... | |
| Wells Audio / AVA Synergy / PrimaLuna DiaLouge Premium HP Russ, thanks for the response. That must have been one heck of an integrated you got to hear! | |
| Wells Audio / AVA Synergy / PrimaLuna DiaLouge Premium HP Russ, thanks for the update, and congrats on the LM. I am very interested in the Majestic - could you perhaps expand a little bit on its sonic qualities? What speakers/gear/cable did you hear it with? Would appreciate any input - relatively few... | |
| Best Way to Spend ~ $2000 for System Improvement Thanks for the additional info. My guess is that you would be served by looking for a used active preamp in the 2k range. The McCormack, especially with the mods, is a very good amp. It will give you whatever it's fed without too much editorial... | |

| Dynaudio's best sounding bookshelf between $500-1000 I thought the X14 was a very nice speaker. Clean, clear, excellent bass for its size. It just communicated what was on the recording. Very impressive for its price, imho. | |
| Help with picking the right phono pre for the rest of my system please! Thanks for taking the time to share your findings. This was a very informative post! | |
| Best Monitor not over 1K, new ot used Focal Aria 905 or 906. | |
| Best Used Solid State Amp for less than $5000? LOL, I hope the OP wasn't waiting 11 years to respond | |
| Naim Nait 5Si and Focal 807W Speakers I had the Arcam A19 for a little while, and I thought it was a very nice piece for its price range. Smooth, open sound stage. I think it would be a nice pairing with the revealing Focal tweeters. Another integrated in that price range that you ... |
