| Modded Cambridge Audio 550C player. Rating?? Thanks to all who responded. To DHL 93449, The full story is not as simple as I explained it before; but I will give you the short version. Last September, I became interested in "improving" the playback sound quality of the Rega Apollo which I st... | |
| "BEST USED" CD player or players at about $1000 Thanks to all who responded since my last response on 5/23/12. Mrtennis chastized me for not supplying more info but I did not want to bore the members. In addition, he asked if I had "auditioned many players?? the opportunities to do so are slim.... | |
| Kimber Kable:Spker Cable: Which offers best sound? Polk 432, Thanks for the clarification about the Nordost speaker cable. About a month ago, I almost went for Morrow speaker cable, and later would jump to the SP-6. However, I saw a thread on AG from a member who claimed the Morrow speaker cable h... | |
| Kimber Kable:Spker Cable: Which offers best sound? To Polk 432, let me ask you to clarify. Is that the NEW LEIF line from Nordost?? If so, well, that is troubling news because I've read bits and pieces that the new LEIF Nordost line is supposed to be superior to the old stuff. Matter of fact. the ... | |
| Class A amps or Class D??: Which sounds better?? Thanks to all who responded so far. To Wolf Garica, the Rogue Medusa (200RMS) is $3995; the Hydra is $2995....and as Sinbad's cabin boy says in the mythical tale:...."beyond the beyond". What about NuForce class D; there is a model 8.5V3 stereo am... | |
| Gallo Reference 3.5 Speakers. Now Looking For Amp I would recommend the Red Dragon M-500 class D digital monoblocks. They retail for 1600.00. I own a pair of them and think they provide the best bang for the buck. The amps are very dynamic, neutral and transparent with just a tad of brightness on... | |
| Cable interfacing issues w/ CD player Need help Akg, Thank you for the response. You might be right; however I got to burn-in the player at least another 40 hours before I begin to start to growl at the seller of modded Cambridge Audio 550C player who claimed it would outperform the Rega and mu... | |
| "ANTI-CABLE" SPEAKER CABLE vs Audio Arts SC5? Ravensbark. You have great patience, however, I don't believe you should have been put through that experience, or anyone for that matter. I think Morrow Audio has to come to terms with this ridiculously long, anxiety riven, and spasmodic break-in... | |
| Most "Musical" sounding speaker cable under $1000 Newbee, Because I cannot contact you off line, have you ever used this Canare 4S11 Star Quad speaker cable for a reasonable length of time to provide some impressions?? I checked their website out via Audiogon; they seem similar to the "Parts Expr... | |
| Most "Musical" sounding speaker cable under $1000 Thanks to all who added their choices of speaker cable to the discussion. To Almarg, I should have checked with Acoustic Zen about other choices than their own cables, but it seemed pointless in some ways However, your point is well taken, but che... | |
| ANTI-CABLES speaker cable vs Audio Arts SC-5SE TO BGB, Yes, that information is very helpful. I bought the Audio Art SC-5 (cheapos) which were partialy burned-in. I think they sound good, possibly a little better. I previously had Acoustic Zen Hologram 2 speaker cable, but its width was gettin... | |
| Most "Musical" sounding speaker cable under $1000 Guys, I appreciate your advice, but let us chill a bit. I have been doing audio for 40 years, and understand what both Newbee and Almarg have stated. The basic system (without specifying turntable) consists of a pair of Acoustic Zen Adagio; Bel Ca... | |
| "ANTI-CABLE" SPEAKER CABLE vs Audio Arts SC5? To Jkuc.I decided against the Anti-Cables in favor of Audio Art SC-5 speaker cable (SEE MY UPDATE before Drubin's response) Also see "Almarg" first response in the list; he cautioned me about the higher inductance of the ANTI-CABLE, and some highe... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-1 speaker:quality sound or hype? To Tgrisham> Thank you; actually, I am selling the Wharfdales, only because my living room has more audio equipment than furniture, and the wife has sounded a DEFCON 2 alert. I have a fondness for audio overachievers, so they may stay or someth... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-1 speaker:quality sound or hype? Thank you to all who responded. Let's go to our corners and wait for the next round. To Rrog, yeah, I know I am getting to be a real pain in the butt with this VR-1 speaker go around. Actually, the last time out, there was a beautiful pair in zebr... |
