| McCormack REV B upgrades. Better than a new amp? Thank you to all memebers who responded so far to this thread. There was a REV B DNA .05 for sale weeks ago, but I passed on it because I was making other upgrades to the system, and the seller would not budge on price It was modded in 2004.Howeve... | |
| What is a "Current Dumping amp??".. and Pros/Cons Thanks to all who have responded so far, especially BW supplied the technical article which is dense. However, I think we can understand enough, that Quad has been resting on its laurels too long. Their speakers over the years have offered great s... | |
| What stereo amp sounds better than digital monos? To Tholt, Sorry, but what are "reco's" If you mean reconnaissance. I spoke to Robert Lee about 2-3 years ago, and he claimed almost any amp works well with AZ's, including SET amp...but,I am not into flea power. However, I was told by the designer... | |
| What stereo amp sounds better than digital monos? JohnnyB53. Audiogon keeps assuring me that they will soon install off-line e-mail contact with "thread" responders, like the good old days before furniture and camera ads appeared in the margins. The set-up now sucks.....Nevertheless, to answer yo... | |
| What stereo amp sounds better than digital monos? To Daniel...Thank you for the explanationTo Tmsorosk: Excuse me!!! so I was off by $10,000 or so. I saw your set-up. Very nice, but the MK#431 is not in my price range: new, used, or in kit form (LOL) | |
| What stereo amp sounds better than digital monos? To Daniel, I have a Bel Canto PRe-3 pre-amp line stage which is excellent. I believe it has balanced outputs...amd also has RCA outputs for the amp. I am not sure what you mean by a "truly balanced pre-amp" I assume that the Rowland amp like Sim A... | |
| "ANTI-CABLE" SPEAKER CABLE vs Audio Arts SC5? UPDATE: I bought the Audio Art SC-5 SPEAKER cables which sound nice, and I am impressed so far; however, I can tell they are not in same league as AZ's Hologram 2. They soundstage better, and have somewhat tigther bass, but about a half to a full ... | |
| What stereo amp sounds better than digital monos? Thanks to all responded so far. To Mapman: Boulder amps are off the scope in price....see used items on AG under their name. The old lady would put me under a "boulder" if I spent 15 to 20K for an amp. The question must be ask: how is (or should)a... | |
| Kimber 8tc or Alpha Goertz MI 3 I know from many auditions that Thiels are bright. Both Kimber and Goertz's models you cited have get reputations;however, I have heard neither one, but considered the Goertz Veracity model You might want to check out Audio Art speaker cable. I am... | |
| Speaker cables of cooper, or silver :Pros/Cons Thanks to all who have responded so far. The comments are helpful.....including the bad jokes. | |

I am curious if you ever used Audio Arts SC-5 SE speaker cable or Morrow Audio Reference SP-4, SP-5 or SP-6 speaker cable,or even (the better) know Nordost's new "Purple Flair" model?? How is the Soundstring GEN II c... | |
| Sound Odyssey "Mods" Are they still in business?? Doug, Thank you for the update. In considering upgrading a Jolida JA-100 CD player, I discovered three outlets, Underwood, Verstarr, and Sound Odyssey. But there sseems to be endless options for modifications of CD players. My new quest is validat... | |
| "ANTI-CABLE" SPEAKER CABLE vs Audio Arts SC5? Thank you to all who have responded so far.Almarg, You are right, I am not into rolling off the top frequencies. Though they are a tad prominent in my current set-up. I have Acoustic Zen Adagios which are 6 ohms and 89db efficieny. I have informed... | |
| HasCD sound exceeded expectations since 1983? Thanks to all have responded so far. I am sure there is much more to be said. I was going to attach a separate question to this thread at first, but changed my mind. However, it was brought to my attention by a local audio dealer that audio is get... | |
| "BEST USED" CD player or players at about $1000 RW, Thank you for the recommendation Oppo 95 Universal player. However, I am not interested in Blu-Ray DVD playback or a Home theater set-up, just a simple two channel rig. I do get stuff from Netfix, which is played on a 6 year old Sony VHS/ DVD ... |
