| What would you do?? After fixing your speakers you might consider scenting the area around your speakers with some sort of citrus scent(cats detest citrus--ever let a cat smell an orange?). Pet stores sell this type of thing in a spray bottle that you might want to s... | |
| Help with decision...New CDP or add DAC to DVD? I know people who are familiar with both the MSB and Art, and they were comparing the Art to the Perpetual Tech P3--different sound obviously, but same general league. Not so for the base Link DAC. Go with the Art and save some cash.Tim | |
| i need a beter interconnects to my systam The Acoustic Zen Matrix Reference ICs are a must audition. They flesh out the midrange incredibly well, and this may fill your requirement for "body." You may also consider trying the Silver Reference between your CD and preamp and the Matrix Refe... | |
| Copper v. Silver IC sound In general I agree with your assessment of copper vs. silver, but it doesn't always hold. I've definately found that using silver between the source and preamp and copper between the preamp and amp preserves much of the detail and transparency of ... | |
| Art Audio amp/Sonic frontiers 2SE amp Soliloquy demos their speakers at shows with Art Audio amps and raves about them--I can't think of a better endorsement than that. One of the guys who works for Soliloquy uses the Jota with the 6.2s at home. That said, this is always a personal de... | |
| MC-1 or Ref 30 MC-1 digitizes all analog inputs--that should be all you need to know if you care about music.B&K has had reliability problems in the past(their A/V receivers were notorious in this regard), but they may be better now as it's been about 3 year... | |
| Best amp for Thiel 3.6 speakers? A couple years ago at CES Thiel was paired up with the then new McCormack DNA-225. The speakers were the seven point somethings(can't remember exact model), so if Thiel felt there were synergies between their speakers and McCormack electronics and... | |
| 1.0 vs. 1.5 Meter Digital Cable I think Martin DeWulf once published in Bound for Sound that 1.0m digital cable was preferable to 0.5m. He offered some technical reason about the signal flow that I don't recall, so I'd probably save the $$$ and go with the 1.0m over the 1.5m if ... | |
| Which DAC is supposed to be better? No idea. Depends on DAC chips, architecture, the output stage of the Sony, shielding, power supplies, whether the Rotel converts analog signals to digital, etc. The Sony's probably a decent transport so I think you're on the right track with a DAC... | |
| ZuCables any experiece I've had the Oxyfuel interconnects in my system for a few weeks and am very impressed. Compared to some of the best the highs are right up there while the mids sound a tad less fleshed out and the bass perhaps a little overdamped, but the bass act... | |
| ACOUSTIC ZEN satori shotgun I agree with classicjazz that they're open and detailed, and I felt they were absolutely neutral. If you're looking for a cable to tame highs or add midrange bloom this is not your cable, but considering the components you mentioned I'd think the ... | |
| B&W 803N/ any comments? Obviously the 803s are a very good speaker--lots of people love'em and for good reason. Personally I find the midrange a little dry(but very good overall) and the tweeter calls attention to itself too frequently for me. They are also notoriously p... | |
| Soliloquy 6.3 with which tube amp? I agree with Wayne and Natale. The Art Audio amps that are frequently used by Soliloquy at shows are very powerful tube amps and probably do a better job at controlling the considerable bass capabilities of the 6.3. As a powerful OTL design I woul... | |
| Silverline LaFolia, anyone?anyone?Bueller?Bueller? I spoke briefly to the folks at Silverline while trying to find a local dealer, and when I asked about the LaFolia they seemed to want steer me to the Sonata II instead. If memory serves they said the two sound pretty similar, but the Sonata II ha... | |
