| AP's Oval 9 Black vs Audio Art SC-5E vs Nordost?? Telescope, you might want to just audition the speaker cables without their the IC plugged. This will provide a better perspective on their sound quality, especially compared to the Audio Art SC-5. I think this will tell more as to what you got.BT... | |
| Rogue Owners Unite To Roscoeii. When you say the Acoustic Zen Adagios sounded better with tube amps,how would you describe the sound?? Was the bass taut and dynamic with no compression?? Were the highs smooth, and not edgy or forward. Currently, I am using a Bel Can... | |
| Van Alstine Synergy amps: Are they quality sound? To.Mr JMC Grogan, Relax, I was just being facetious. Most of these audio pundits have ears stuffed with cotton when they go to audition high-end. I have only truated reviews by Bob Reina at Stereophile. His review method is systematic and thorough... | |
| Van Alstine Synergy amps: Are they quality sound? To Schubert: That will surely make me think twice about buying either the Syngery basic stereo amp or his overpriced integrated which is $1800. I can buy a used Krell 400i for less that probably will smoke his integrated and you get twice the powe... | |
| Rogue Owners Unite It is good to see so many Rogue owners. It surely indicates a vote of confidence for the product. I don't want to high-jack the thread, but has anyone auditioned or owned the new Rogue Sphinx integrated amp (100 RMS) I am considering downsizing ag... | |
| Van Alstine Synergy amps: Are they quality sound? To Schubert. Thanks for replying the information is very helpful. However, are not most amps power rated at BOTH 8ohms and 4ohms???? The latter impedance usually doubling the power | |
| Cambridge Audio 840C vs Ayre CX-7e? In 2008, Robert Harley claimed could not understand how Cambridge could build such a great CD player like the Cambridge 840C. He shook his head in disbelief at its price to performance ratio Now he claims that the new Cambridge 851C exceeds the pr... | |
| AP's Oval 9 Black vs Audio Art SC-5E vs Nordost?? TO Telescope trade: I cannot find a link on Audiogon about the Stereolab speaker cable. Can you provide the link to their site??. I have to be honest I have never heard of this brand or the model of speaker cable you indicated. Also,..... what hap... | |
| AP's Oval 9 Black vs Audio Art SC-5E vs Nordost?? Thanks to all have responded so far. To Telescope-trade. Thanks for the suggestion; Let me know what your impressions were of the Stereolab speaker cable. This is all such a crap shoot with cables, so often the sound is dependent on the electronic... | |
| AP's Oval 9 Black vs Audio Art SC-5E vs Nordost?? To JG2; Very good point. Actually I owned the AZ Hologram 2 cable and it was excellent, conveying midrange detail and balance. However, the Hologram 2 had somewhat of a narrow soundstage, and its bass was soft. After selling it, I went to the Audi... | |
| Volume affected by uneven lengths of spker cable?? Wise men all!! Actually, I had a pair of Analysis Plus Oval 12 soeaker cables about 8 years ago that were a 15ft/8ft.pair. I began to notice about 6 months into use that the one of the channels seemed lower; I don't remember if it was the short or... | |
| Volume affected by uneven lengths of spker cable?? Thanks to all who have responded so far; especially Jallen for taking the time to provide a more technical explanationTo Brf: a pair of speaker cable where the left side is 12ft and the right is 7 ft. I am trying to save a few bucks when I upgrade... | |
| Best older Krell integrated amp that sounds good? Audiolab... I will check out e-bay which is usually alot more expensive. Nevertheless, you should read one of the reviews. Keep in mind this is a 9 year old design and its sound tends toward leaner. Another suggestion to consider is the new Rogue ... | |
| Best older Krell integrated amp that sounds good? Audiolabyrinth, I believe there may be a Krell KAV 400xi on AG now or there was. With any older product, proceed with caution, and also take a look at the reviews before you commit. I am just waiting for a silver 400xi to come around | |
| Best older Krell integrated amp that sounds good? There is always the hope of finding a diamond in the rough with older equipment, that is, under 10 years. Some reviews claimed the S300i was very good, but the volume control when remotely operated made noise when it was activated. I heard that co... |
