| Stereo sub amp recommendations Are the Polk subs good? How old are they? Wondering if it's worth dropping $500 on a new amp for these or if saving for some new subs might be a better way to go? Example, you can get a pair of very good powered SVS subs for about $1300 (I'm actua... | |
| Speaker suggestions Budget? | |
| Anyone try Supra LoRad 2.5 PCs? Thanks guys. So, what I'm thinking is that I want something a little beefier for my SS amp that puts out about 125W. I'm considering getting a 5 foot run of DH Labs Power Plus (7 bucks per foot) for my amp since it might appreciate the added bulk,... | |
| Speakers to consider around 5k used? I think Sonus Faber is a good recommendation and possibly Dynaudio too, and to those I'd add Joseph Audio, Nola, and Vandersteen. You're fortunate to have many good high-end dealers within an hour or so (traffic permitting of course), so definitel... | |
| Tact MKII ? Oops, forgot this is the HT section. I should mention I've only heard Tact in a stereo setting, not multi-channel. | |
| Please grade my recent pick up What is CL? | |
| Any clear winners: small speakers/small room.... You don't mention any sonic traits you're looking for, but a good all-arounder I've heard is the Silverline Minuet. Good disappearing act and excellent imaging, and I thought the bass to be better than what I've read in reviews and probably fine f... | |
| Tact MKII ? I've heard it demonstrated at a show and at someone's house. The differences and improvements in both cases were huge (as in, I wouldn't want to listen without it anymore) so I'd think it would probably help your system as well, but I have no idea... | |
| The high range on my speakers are harsh... I'd bring the speakers to your friend's house too and see if the problem exists. If it doesn't you may be having a speaker cable or dirty connection problem somewhere in the chain. The fact that you re-connected your amp to your speakers and the p... | |
| Power cord recommendation for DAC Yeah, and as we all know these cables are so system and listener dependent you really need to try at least a few to see what works specifically for you. Reviews are somewhat helpful for certain components, but especially with cables they really ne... | |
| 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 |
