| Best preamp for $1000 or less with remote That helps, and the first thing that pops to mind is something from Bryston (I own the BP-6). Thought the Adcom recommendation was a good one too, but I remember reading they had some reliability problems in the past but not sure how widespread it... | |
| Best preamp for $1000 or less with remote Would be helpful if you told us what you're using now and what sound qualities you're looking to change and/or improve upon. | |
| Best speaker cable for Acoustic Zen's Adagios I don't own the Adagios, but I've used shotgun Satoris for years and despite having several competitors in for comparison these never seem to leave. Excellent balance of tonal density, musicality, and detail. If I were you I'd give these a shot or... | |
| Sub $1k Power Amp to pair with Bryston B-60 I think you're making a mistake by buying an amp at this point. The amp you choose needs to work with the speakers it's driving, and since you're looking to upgrade your speakers you'll end up with an amp that works better with your current speake... | |
| Remote control of hidden components? Did you look at the Universal remote package I mentioned above? It sure looks like it would solve all your problems since it's a great universal remote, includes RF, and is only 80 bucks at B&H. One of the advantages over the iPhone/IPad is th... | |
| Most Musical Subwoofers? Lots of great recommendations. I'll just add this one...http://www.soundstage.com/equipment/paradigm_sub2.htmSeems like they could potentially match the excellent JL Audio units at a big discount. If this one's out of your price range I think ther... | |
| Remote control of hidden components? If the repeater idea doesn't work you can try something like the Universal RFS200 package that includes a nice remote and an RF unit that operates on radio waves rather than infrared so it can work through doors, walls, etc. It's a nice universal ... | |
| Need an " exciting sounding" digital cable The Stereovox cable is almost ruthlessly revealing in my system, and it's not all that expensive so might be a good place to start. Best of luck. | |
| Would an amp or preamp have a larger SQ increase? In general I find preamps make a bigger absolute difference in overall sound in my system than amps. But one area where I find amps make relatively more of a difference is with regard to bass, which seems to be high on your list of priorities. The... | |
| Looking for an XLR to XLR IC to add warmth The Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference will do that, and the original version is warmer than the Ref II if you can find them. Best of luck. | |
| Best speakers for about $2000 a pair Never heard them, but Salk Song Towers have gotten some nice reviews and I think they're in that price range. Best of luck. | |
| Amp for Silverline MInuets I saw them driven at a show a few years ago by what I think was a small Monarchy integrated fed by a cheap CD player Alan Yun said he picked up for a few bucks at a garage sale (I think there may have been a Monarchy DAC somewhere in there but not... | |
| high end subwoofer...which one tho? You might want to take a look at this review:http://www.soundstage.com/equipment/paradigm_sub2.htm | |
| Warm to Neutral Speaker Cables under $800? I see there are a couple listings for Acoustic Zen Satori cables for around $350. Been using these for years and they've bested all comers, and they're well below your spending limit. Nice & natural in the highs, but they let the natural timbr... | |
| who has experience with Joseph Audio? Amazing how this stuff hits people so differently. I'm completely opposite of Seditious3, and it's B&Ws that strike me the way the Josephs sound to him. In fact, probably one of my top 5 show experiences was hearing Louis Armstrong from St. Ja... |
