| Looking for 5.1 processor and 5 channel amp Sim Attraction + Theta 5-ch Dreadnaught. An audiophile combo that will do HT superbly as well. I have no complaints. | |
| Sim Moon cd player Opninons Natalie is right- in fact, I own the Capitole now after selling my Sim Eclipse- both are fine players with different strengths... | |
| Sim Moon cd player Opninons I used to own one- excellent 'slam' factor; tightest bass in any CDP I have heard' micro-detail retrieval is excellent; benefits nicely from inserting an upsampler in the equation, as the Eclipse's Dac can read 24/96 (although the transport only o... | |
| Has anyone hooked satellite radio to their system? I have gone back and forth on this, and for me, no comparison- my Accuphase classic T-101 FM tuner is way better sounding (much more natural) than the music from Satellite (Direct TV). | |
| Audio Aero Prima Dac I own the Capitole 24/192, and would not trade it for anything right now, and the Prima Dac no doubt would sound very close, provided the tranport is up to the task- go for it! | |
| Proceed AVP vs. Sim Attraction vs. Theta Casa Nova I have the Attraction- it has by far the best analog/preamp section of the ones you mention. | |
| Sistrum Platforms Agreed with above- Sistrum is excellent product, plus Robert at Starsound is extremely helpful and knowledgeable on the resonance-draining technology employed.I use a pair of SP-1 amp stands under some large tube monoblocks, and noticed the same b... | |
| Any way to shield a non-sheilded center channel ? try turning it upside down. I use 5 Totem Mani-2's in my HT system, and one of them as a center under the TV. Initially, same problem, until I called Vince (head designer) at Totem- he suggested it- tweeter is now on top of woofer, but I have it a... | |
| Ensemble Mega Powerpoint cable Yup- I have the Mega PP- works well, especially with the Ensemble Isolink and their Powerflux FSF cables. | |
| How to pick your first SET tube amp? Don't hesitate to try Coincident's amps. I have purchased 4 tube amps custom built/modded to the max by Israel, and he knows what he is doing (a pair of Golden Tube Audio 8 watt 300B monoblocks, and a pair of vintage Altec 1570B monoblocks- 170 wp... | |
| FM antennae recommendations please? I second the Magnum whip- its great! | |
| Help on power conditioner upgrade Tice Power Block IIIC- George Tice's statement product (transformerless) that has a separate 'high-power' section providing up to 2400w (only if you order the HP version- 1800 otherwise). Has 5 sparate circuits completely isolated from each other,... | |
| What Preamps gets best results with Sims amps? I concur with the above, having owned the Attraction for ~ a year and a half, using Theta Dreadnaught for amp, all Golden Cross wiring, and 5 Totem Mani-2 speakers. This comprises my HT system (I used to have another preamp- ARC LS-16, in the HT s... | |
| Where R U????? Hey Tim- guess I'm the first Canadian guy to respond tonight- Toronto, Ontario. Been reading lots of your posts over the last year- great to see your passion for audio! I'm kinda lucky- from the balcony of the new Condo, I can see my high-end audi... | |
| Optimum length for Toslink digital cable? Thanks Charlie- I have also heard the sonic differences are somewhat minimized with Toslink vs. coax/XLR, etc. |
