| Time for spring cleaning I have a whole set of B&W 600 series speakers including center channel sitting around; a pair of B&W DM100i speakers, a pair of Boston Acoustic HD5v speakers; an extra Digital DAC (Krell/Soundstream); an extra Monster Power Conditioner; 15... | |
| Cables length ? I believe the cables should be the same. It is a timing issue. Also the length of the cables can slightly affect the sound itself, so you could end up where the two speakers sound different even in mono. | |
| The Latest Classical Music Accessory I see no harm in it, if it is used just as a learning tool, much like a metronome. But if a student is down-graded because they do poorly with the machine, I agree, we are in trouble.I also agree that a lot of classical recordings are over-recorde... | |
| Best Cd player for under 500 The Cambridge Audio D500SE has a dual differential 24bit/192kHz DAC (Yes, 192kHz is not a typo) and a high-end Sony transport. | |
| Best Cd player for under 500 Cambridge Audio D500-SE - List is $450 and can be had for $389 with free shipping at NorthamptonAudio.com AKA Spearitsound.com in either black or silver. | |
| college kid needs help with budget amps I also use to own a Cambridge C500 Preamp with the added phono. For $259 brand new ($319 with phono) it is hard to beat at that price. I did not find anything better until I went over a $1000. | |
| ok, now i just need to pick one I am in your other post. I use a Cambridge A3i in my home office/den. I have not heard better at that price point; and I've tried a lot of them including NAD, which are also pretty nice, just not as lively as Cambridge. Plus the A3i has a decent p... | |
| Is my Salesman telling the Truth? I'll bet he does'nt sell the ones that suck and has never heard them. Do not buy something just because the other one supposedly sucks. Look at politicians. They always say the other guy sucks, when actually they all do. | |
| The Latest Classical Music Accessory If Leonard Bernstein was around to wear the jacket, the system would blow as soon as he got emotional. I bet it would be hard to program Yuri Temirkanov's flowing motions. Leni and Yuri communicates things you can't quantify into computer code. | |
| college kid needs help with budget amps For a great cheap pre-amp, look for a Superphon (used only). You should be able to find them from $150 to $300 depending on model and age. There are a couple listed on Audiogon now. | |
| college kid needs help with budget amps Cambridge Audio A3i is a great integrated used around $225 to 250; has decent phono stage. The new A300 version 2 is about the same power. Both have two sets of speaker terminals to make biwiring easy and cheap (don't need special cables). Also fo... | |
| Vandenhul powercord Call (518)843-3070 and ask for George Stanwick of Stanalog Audio Imports. He is very knowledgeable with all VanDenHul products and sells them. I would think he may have demo'd them, because he represents VanDenHul at some Audio Shows in the USA. | |
| Vandenhul powercord Power cords are in the signal path. The signal is electric, which starts at the power plant. | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Instead of burn-in there are those that cryogenically freeze their cables. | |
| Amp Hum I cannot take the credit, but someone on another thread suggested a way to stop an amp humming. Teach it the words. |
