| Best line conditioner??? Good line conditioners help. Bad ones may not and can sometimes make things worse.You might want to check out the Foundation Research LC-2 and LC-1 in-line power conditioners at analogshop.com under 'What's New" and also at sonicculture.com to see... | |
| Need amp match advice to drive Eggleston Andras Try this amp:http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.pl?ampstran&1047395938There is no amp that I am aware of than can touch this amp's performance at anywhere near the seller's asking price of $4200 obo used.You can read up on this amp at smcaudio... | |
| Connecting a sub to amp pre-amp outs? Yes, you should be able to connect your sub to these pre-outs. Your manual says you can use these for bi-amping. If you think about it, since your sub most likely has a built-in amplifier, you are in essence, bi-amping to your sub's amplifier.Norm... | |
| which component should i put the better cable on? Probably depends on the quality of each component, but assuming all things being somewhat equal, I'd opt for installing the pc on the amp.Only because that is the component in which I've noticed the greater improvements from every electrical tweak... | |
| Recommendation for Speakers & Interconnects cables Lak, perhaps that is one reason why I have chosen a different system from yours. :)-IMO | |
| Recommendation for Speakers & Interconnects cables Lak, I did not try the Pure Note speaker cables.Lgregoir and Jcbtubes are absolutely correct. Every system will behave somewhat to much differently to a given cable.With one amp, the Audience Au24 sc's seemed to strip away some of the dynamic punc... | |
| Recommendation for Speakers & Interconnects cables I recently upgraded to the Pure Note Epsilon ic's and Audience Au24 speaker cables (sc's).Both have been excellent upgrades. But I found the Audience Au24 speaker cable upgrade to be quite drastic and exciting. Not to mention, the cable is thinner... | |
| What preamp to mate with Belles 150A Hot Rod Amp? I would think the Placette Active linestage would be an excellent match.-IMO | |
| Good but FLEXIBLE Interconnects For flexibility, look at Audience Au24, Maestro, or even the Conductor line. Extremely flexible and the Au24's have been compared to the Valhallas for only a fraction of the price.-IMO | |
| dedicated circuit, flex conduit? Personally, I would not worry too much about the concerns you have. Which is good for me since I could not answer them.I would focus only on the following:1. Obtain good aftermarket 10gauge 99.95% OFC romex-like house wiring. 2. Ensure that only t... | |
| cdp for proac 1 sc Actually, chances are that the potentially slightly warm and rich sound found in most Rotel amps would compliment nicely with the potentially slightly cool sound found in most ProAc's.You might consider a used Sony 777es player for about $1200 to ... | |
| Best Redbook/SACD player for under $1000? Sorry, I don't know anything about the 999es. | |
| Dedicated line question You really should check out this thread for your info and the results.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?htech&1042129752&openusid&zzAnd depending on your equipment, as you will see in that thread, the results can be outstanding.-IMO | |
| Best Redbook/SACD player for under $1000? You'd be hard pressed to do better than the sony dvp s9000es which can be found used for about $600. Of course you could also then send the unit to Stan Warren in Eugene, OR for a $250 upgrade that could bring sonic improvements upwards of 25% to ... | |
| Foolish Peter, keep in mind that you are not done yet. You now have the dedicated lines but you still have pretty much the same AC noise going thru those lines. Except for any digital noise from your cdp which is pretty isolated now I assume.Therefore, yo... |
