| How different between B&W 804s & B&W 805s???? I'd save the money..but then again, I am not a BW fan | |
| Power cords and soundstage My accrolink/046 combination continues to improve. There is just more going on...I hear background parts in arrangements that I never noticed before. I ordered more of the same to prepare a cord for my preamp. If there is this much improvement wit... | |
| The focus and air lie I go to lots of concerts both classical, rock, popular, etc. In all types of concerts except for classical, the sound is amplified, and comes at the audience from many directions, and therefore that magic that we call air is not available except f... | |
| Cable question I have found that excessive shielding closes in the sound. If you need it - fine, however, if you don't do without it. Try both ways and enjoy the results | |
| recommend excellent balance XLR cable for me plz? don't laugh...anti-cables. View another thread regarding these. | |
| Speaker cable length I think these are too long. I put my power amp between the 2 speakers and run a 6 feet length of speaker wire to the speakers. The interconnect from my preamp to amp is about 16 feet...works fine. In any case, I would have equal lengths of wire fo... | |
| XLR vs. Phono Cables As I said in my post above..if your preamp/line stage is better at XLR then the preferred termination would be blanced...if and only if you're terminus/arm is balanced. If you have RCA's at the end of your turntable, use RCA's into the preamp. Won... | |

| Alternative to VPI motor for Aries 3? Yes...as a matter of fact there is a new Supergrease you might inquire about. It looks like vasoline, but isn't. It comes in a package that looks like a hypo needle. | |
| XLR vs. Phono Cables it has been my experience that components are designed either single ended or balanced. Yes some of them can do either, but they sound much better in their preferred mode. Ask your manufacturer about that. I have all Ayre equipment, and indeed eve... | |
| Power cords and soundstage Tvad...no, I have used the Tunami but with the V=046, and P-046 plugs. I removed and replaced the plugs The Accro link is better in all ways. This may be true only in my system, and may be different in other systems. I am using all Ayre components... | |
| Alternative to VPI motor for Aries 3? Hi Viper...My wife is an RN. I used her professional 200 dollar stethoscope to search for noises and yes indeed...my turntable is DEAD quiet. No scraping sounds, no hums, no noises of any kind. Sorry if you think you have something with less sound... | |
| Power cords and soundstage Yes..4030 is Accrolink. The Tunami cord in comparison is a bit quieter I am told, however, it doesn't provide the depth, air, and clarity of the Accrolink. Chris ( I think it was he) told me that's because of the heavy shielding on the Tunami. As ... | |
| Dual-layer SACD Gain Issues I found that burned reproductions of a CD is oft times better than the original...don't know why. |
