| Best power conditioning under 400 bucks Wow. After doing a little digging the AR1P seems really interesting. Would the wiremold strip (or any other power strip) offer isolation between outlets to prevent noise being transferred from my digital components to the rest of my system? | |
| Best power conditioning under 400 bucks Thanks for all the good suggestions. Looks like I've got a little homework to do here, but fun homework.I need at least four outlets and don't want to pay for another power strip to expand capacity, which somewhat rules out the Shunyata and Audien... | |
| Directional cable question I had a similar experience with my Apogee Wyde Eye digital cable. I unknowingly installed it backwards and my system suddenly sounded dull and lifeless. After checking connections I realized the mistake, and as soon as it was installed properly th... | |
| what speakers to purchase I had a nearly square room with wood floors and it was a bass nightmare. And although your cathedral ceilings will no doubt help, if you're contemplating large floorstanders I'd audition before buying. I agree with the post above that stand mounte... | |
| 2 Channel Sub Woofer, 1 or 2 Sub-woofers? Not to hijack the thread, but a related question I've been wondering for a while is if it came down to getting one very good sub vs. two decent subs for similar total cash outlay, which would you choose? Let's say one $1000 sub or two $500 subs? | |
| Considering new amp - Mccormack Brownsfan makes a good point -- it might be the modded McCormacks that have a lower impedance input. | |
| Considering new amp - Mccormack I believe the input impedance on McCormack amps is on the low side, so first you should check to see if they will work with your SF preamp. I would think you would get a more refined sound out of the McCormack amps, but no way to know if it will b... | |
| Paradigm Studio 100 v.3 vs, v.4 I assume you mean the 100s vs. the 60s with a good sub? I'd say if you're using a sub you could save yourself even more dough by going to the 40s. Anyway, since the 40s, 60s, and 100s probably sound quite similar from the lower midrange on up, I w... | |
| Paradigm Studio 100 v.3 vs, v.4 Just realized I answered this purely from a 2-channel audio perspective since we're not in the home theater forum area. Considering this looks like it'll also be used for home theater I think the idea of mating 60s with a sub makes a lot of sense ... | |
| Paradigm Studio 100 v.3 vs, v.4 Mdrummer makes a good point about room size. With their considerable bass output the 100s could easily overload a room that's not big enough. Also, you'll need to sit a good way back from the speakers so the sound from the multiple drivers integra... | |
| XLR interconnects? I found the neutrality and exceptional imaging capabilities of the Stereovox Colibri interconnects to allow Bryston gear to really show its outstanding 3D imaging capabilities, and probably your Gallos too. Don't look for it to add warmth or fulln... | |
| Recommendations for a "mid-fi" digital coax cable? The Apogee Wyde Eye would come in well under your budget and is detailed yet also smoother, more liquid and full sounding versus some of the more detailed and analytical digital interconnects I've had in my system. | |
| Which budget digital cable ? If you want to hear absolutely everything the Stereovox is a great choice. If, however, you'd prefer something a little smoother and fuller sounding the Apogee Wyde Eye is also an outstanding bargain. | |
| Anyone know anything about Soliloquy HiFi 5.0's? I had a chance to compare the Soliloquys to the B&Ws and the 805s sounded anemic and sterile by comparison. Of course that's biased by my tastes and associated equipment interactions at the dealership so take it for what it's worth. I've never... | |
| Amp for Soliloquy 5.3i floor standing speaker? That you're asking for advice for alternatives without giving us any clue as to what you thought of the sound with your Jolida makes your post most unhelpful. Very common on this site and very frustrating for those who would really like to help.Th... |
