| 600 used speakers? For B&W a pair of the original CDM-1 bookshelf speakers. They are actually the best CDM-1 version for music because of the first order crossover not found on later versions. Also the P5 floorstander. | |
| Question about CD 'Resolution' I have read that one reason higher bit DACs outperform 16bit even though the data is 16bit, is because a 16bit DAC is actually less than 16bit in actual use. Some data is lost or cut off. The higher bit DACs give the data more room, just like addi... | |
| Consistency with power cords? If they are not the same, then assuming you have a power conditioner with an IEC, the best one should go between it and the wall outlet. The power amp is second IMO. I do not wish to spend the money to get a great cord for each component, so I got... | |
| B&W Nautilus 803's versus 804's and 802's You could get a REL Storm III sub to fill in the bottom. Just keep in mind the N804 plus the REL is equal to the cost of the N803. Some folks like the 804 with the REL better than a N803 without a sub, so if you can give that combo a listen (or wi... | |
| Need New Cartridge Recommendation Moving Magnet or Coil? The Shure V15VxMR is nice for the price. | |
| Recommedations please for a power cord for amp. The Blue Circle BC62 is a great cord. List is about $200, but look for ads here on Agon from Hello Simply Music selling them for $125 on special. No $125 cord can touch it at that price IMHO. | |
| Audiophile's New Year Resolutions? I usually tell people I gave up New Year's Resolutions for Lent (and vise versa). | |
| Need advice on what is a good A/C enhancer. The better ones issolate the digital from analog. Look at Chang Lightspeed, Tice, Vansevers, Audio Power. | |
| Audiophile's New Year Resolutions? Sell off some of the extra tuners, preamps, interconnects, speaker cables, receivers, D/A converters, etc, etc, that are in various closets. | |
| Mockery of Audiophiles For a chuckle you can also read the descriptions on the Bose equipment on eBay. | |
| Cambridge Audio DAC questions The Rotel 990 and 991 CD players also use the (dual) mono PCM63K Chips. The 990 is better than either the 971 or 991 because of the studio pro quality aluminum transport. There is one on eBay right now; ends on January 2nd; item number 1313693188 | |
| Which speakers do the hologram thing? And I agree the electronics matter also. (What happened to the edit function Agon??) | |
| Which speakers do the hologram thing? I would concentrate on speaker placement and room accoustics more than the brand of speaker. | |
| Power Line Conditioners If you feel you need a condtioner for the amps and you feel Sean is correct for your system, Mike Vansevers makes a conditioner for power amps that does not limit power and may free power called appropriately "The Unlimiter". The stock unit at dea... | |
| Power Line Conditioners Between the three the Tice would be my choice. I would skip the Monster and Panamax. You've heard of them probably because they advertise the most. Also look at conditioners made by Chang Lightspeed, Vansevers and Audio Power. My personal favorite... |
