| Best bass response in a $1500 pair monitor? Heh, Heh; here's my chance...I get absolutely fabulous bass out of my set-up. AR Complete amp, older rotel CDP 855, Soliloquy 5.0 monitors, Mapleshade speaker cables and a Transparent Audio Link 100 interconnect. I've been playing around ALOT with... | |
| Advice For Audio Refinement + Vandersteen Combo? I get fantastic bass with the Complete and some little soliloquy 5.0 monitors using Mapleshade speaker cables and Transparent Audio Link 100 IC's. very deep, very punchy, very articulate and defined bass. Midbass is not at all muddy, but the deep ... | |
| Best Red Book CD Player for under $120 Have to disagree with the dis on the wonderful Rotel 855 player. I liked it better than a Musical Fidelity player, an Arcam 73T, and the new Rotel 1072 in my system. Maybe not as accurate, but more fun with great bass, musicality, and excitement.N... | |
| Sand and shot? Try something else. In my experience lead destroyed much of the microdynamics of the music, especially at lower volumes. Sand much less so, but created some resonance issues. I took a hint from the AudioPoints folks and tried fine metal shot (blas... | |
| Portable CD player with Digital Output check out the Citizen players. I don't remember what model I got a few months back (from amazon or ebay), but as long as you defeat the anti-skip feature it sounds quite organic. I'm pleased with it.Chris | |
| Best Isolation for stand mount speakers I tried Blue-tac and with my speakers it really blurred things. Didn't sound good, similar to the little neoprene pads that came with my Lovan stands. Best clarity was Audiopoints .2's and Vibrapods. | |
| Best Isolation for stand mount speakers I use vibrapods under my monitors. Great isolation. I was surprized as heck, but I also get terrific clarity. Deep bass gets a little boost (good thing for me), but with terrific solidity too. Others will disagree, but I've been running this way f... | |
| Power Cord for Audio Refinement Integrated? dare to be different...I tried the Signal cable power cord...thinned out the sound...tried to like it twice...amp sounds fantastic with the stock cord with my little system.Chris | |
| NAD C320BEE Vs Audio Refinement Complete I have heard the NAD driving some Proac floorstanders in a large treated room. It sounded great with the sound quality also impressing the owner who was doubtful about its ability to drive them properly (home based sales guy). I have a complete al... | |
| Has anyone tried out new Mapleshade speaker wires I too have the basic Mapleshade Double Helix cables and am also thrilled with them. I've had them for about a year, and in my system now exclusively for several months. They are very fast, clean, energetic, and very punchy and defined with the str... | |
| Spike or decouple ? My Soliloquy monitors are on #2 Vibrapods after trying many things (commercial tweaks and other) underneath them. With the Vibrapods I don't sense any blurring, the tones are richer sounding, and the deeper bass seems to get a nice small boost tha... | |

| Magwires Speaker Cable Impressions? From the lack of response I must guess that no one has purchased MagWires speaker cables.... | |
| Magwires Speaker Cable Impressions? I tried doubled up 26 gauge and then a single run of 22 gauge. My amp is only 50 wpc, but I presume I'll need several runs to let the dynamics through and get my solid bass back.Note that I have Mapleshade Golden Helix too. Really natural sounding... | |
| Need Good Advice - Speaker Cable Digital, I've lately been heading in a similar direection. I had interesting results by shotgunning monster cable and Mapleshade Golden Helix to my 5.0's woofer posts with the stock jumpers. What I got was just about what I had hoped for, very tig... |
