| Best Power Conditioner The Hydra 8 provided the best sound in my system. Audio Tekne is also very good if you can find one. I plug the Hydra in the Monster AVS 2000 which keeps voltage at a steady 120. A must if you have tubes. The result is greater dynamics. I have had... | |
| HMS cables - English Instructions? You can email Strassner at HMS. He is usually prompt with a response. I liked the 0 setting. Check the archives for further info | |
| Audio aero Capitole MkII I plugged it directly into Manley 250's and there is great musicality. That said I prefer it more times using the Manley preamp. Better dynamics and slam | |
| Tenor Hybrid v. VTL MB-450 Sig. In one of tenor's ads. they offer in home auditioning. Have you contacted tenor? | |
| A serious blow to Canadian audiophiles, must read I must have missed something. Where would the serious blow to Canadian audiophiles originate? | |
| Tube Amps and young children - avoiding burns etc. I would also consider the Manley Neoclassic 250's in your choices. I have owned the Cary's and the Wolcotts and believe I have had the best sound with the Manley's. As far as the kids go I would keep them out of harms way. | |
| Does such a preamp exist? Check out Manley labs. I believe this is what your looking for. | |
| Peter Gabriel....Bad sounding CD's......groan..... I also am a big fan of Gabriel and your right some of the recordings are awful. The first cut on "UP" will blow you out of your seat with brightness. The Lp's are much better. If you can find the older genesis albums( Selling England... or Foxtrot... | |
| At what level does analog beat digital? I will compare Audio aero capitole mkII with the Nottingham Hyperspace table /anna arm/benz ruby II. I listen to cd's a lot more because its easy and there is more new material than vinyl. That said the resolution and detail is still better with w... | |
| Vote best of these 7 CDP's I believe people were trying to help you from making an expensive mistake. Enjoy your cdplayer | |
| Best Used Solid State Amp for less than $5000? I still believe Aloia amps(15.0I) are one of the best buys in audio. I've seen them for as low as 2k | |
| Vote best of these 7 CDP's I have to agree with golden ears. If your are going to spend that much money you should definitely demo them or at least get a loaner. Other things to consider if you need a player with volume controls if you are not using a preamp. System matchin... | |
| Mac C2200 Vs Supratek Chardonnay/Syrah line-stage If your just using the cd as a source why not forget about a preamp and get a cdplayer with volume controls. You will get much better sound for a lot less money. Audio aero cdplayer would be a suggestion | |
| Cable suggestions? Opinions needed... Jena labs have been the best cables in my system by far. I was using HMS which were very fast detailed but didn't have the rich dynamic unveiling characteristics of the Jena Labs( Symphony's). | |
| Piega P-10 / Solid State or tube amplification? I am using Piega c-10ltd with the Manley 250's in triode and sound is excellent. They definitely need some power to make them sing. |
