| In-ear Headphone Advice Requested I've got an old pair of Sennheiser CX500 'phones that I've been very happy with. No longer made, but from what I've read the current CX300 mkII has a very similar sonic signature which is why I'm recommending them particularly in your situation. T... | |
| Speaker recommendation please, please, please What aspects of sound quality are you looking to improve upon with the upgrade? Until that is known, as Photon said this is just throwing darts at a board blindfolded.I know you're in a rural area, but if you really want to get this right I'd make... | |
| Power cord recommendation for DAC Seems like your price range is right in the wheelhouse of the top offerings from direct marketers such as Morrow, Mg Audio, Triode Wire Labs, My Audio Cables (MAC), and Sablon as referenced above. If it were me, these guys probably all offer gener... | |
| Advice on Equipment Upgrade I think I'm finally getting it -- I'm a drummer so it takes me a while. Sounds like you're getting the fullness and tone from elements like drum shells, but you're missing some of the transient snap and attack of the stick hitting the drum heads a... | |
| iPhone/iTunes best connection advice I bought a demo Wadia 170 from Music Direct for $150 for my iPhone4 and it works great. Best of luck.http://www.musicdirect.com/p-16296-wadia-itransport-170-silver-used.aspx | |
| I think I need an audio repeater - need simplicity You can get the Universal RFS200 that does RF that you can get for 70 bucks. It's a full learning remote so will learn any component it doesn't already have, and it's built to last (I've been using an older model for 15 years with no problem). The... | |
| Anyone try Supra LoRad 2.5 PCs? Thanks guys. Have you tried the 2.5 on amps as well as preamps, DACs, etc.? I read a review where they did ok on lower current devices but not so well on amps, so wondering what your experience is here.Where I am is I have no budget for PCs right ... | |
| Advice on Equipment Upgrade I think Acman3 asked a key question. Does your digital source sound ok in the midbass and it's just analog that sounds weak there? Out of curiosity, how do you find the digital sound overall in your system (i.e. strengths/weaknesses) and what is y... | |
| Which stands for Joseph Audio Pulsars? I know Jeff was using Osiris stands at one point (what he brought to Fremer's for the S'phile review), but sadly no longer made. I'd give Joseph Audio a call. I'm sure they'll have some recommendations and who better to ask? | |
| EQ for a pair of subs Thanks guys, this is a big help and I'm looking into all of it. I'm planning on stereo bass and looks like the SMS only has the ability to employ one filter across multiple subs (unless I'm missing something), so not sure that would work. The DSpe... | |
| In need of a powercord I'm about to try the Supra LoRad 2.5 in my system. Got a good review in Positive Feedback a while back, and if you're willing to take a few minutes to screw the plugs on the ends of the cable they can be had for about $65 for 1.5m. Best of luck. | |
| Building new house need advice on a dedicated room I'm also in the process of designing a dedicated listening room. Regardless of how you proceed I'd recommend getting the book Premium Home Theater by Earl Geddes so you're at least familiar with various design theories and approaches. Despite the ... | |
| Cardas Golden Reference vs. Triode Wire Labs 10+ It does seem strange the GR interconnects were bright. What is your other equipment? Triode makes it easy to try their PCs, so why not give them a shot and see what happens? But I agree with Mechans that the interconnects may be the relatively mor... | |
| Cable Recommendations It would help to know what you're currently using and what types of sound characteristics you're looking to preserve or improve. Also, you don't mention any power conditioning or dedicated lines?Morrow and My Audio Cables(MAC) seem to get consiste... | |
| Bookshelf speaker ideas.... Hard to imagine you'd be disappointed with the PSBs, but then you never know which speaker will really "do it" for any individual's preferences (would help if you went into some detail in what you're looking for soundwise) so definitely try to get... |
