| Using a two channel pre-amp with a HT processor. I had the ARC LS-16, and used it exactly as you described with excellent results. It allowed me to run a fully balanced circuit from the CDP (Sim Audio Eclipse) through to the fully balanced amp (Theta Dreadnaught), then simply flip the switch on ... | |
| Conditioners for power amps Interesting! (re: the voltage gain). I didn't realize a conditioner could do this, however my new PLC (Tice Powerblock IIIC high-power version) actually DOES indicate a higher voltage (the meters say ~124 right now, whereas my older inferior PLC i... | |
| Wadia, Audio Aero, Meridian, BAT and BOW I have the Capitole 24/192- simply wonderful! (also allows you to bypass a preamp w its built in volume control). You won't be disappointed. | |
| What is the best DVD player? No price limit..... Easy- Ayre D-1; Camelot Roundtable; Muse Thalia Nine | |
| Best all Canadian system Hey fellow Canadian! Sim Audio; Coincident; Totem; Bryston; Verity; along with the others mentioned- we got some good stuff up here! | |
| Which cable for Aerial LR5's,CC5, and Dreadnaught? I use all Golden Cross IC's with my Dreadnaught, and am quite pleased with the full-bodied sound. | |
| Is a 12' X 16' room big enough for stereo? you guys are killin' me here! MY listening room is only 8' x 12". Try and work with THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |
| Redbooks: as good on Sony SACD as on Cary 303? There have been several posts on this. From what I understand, in general (there are always exceptions), the better redbook players WILL make your regular CD's sound better (upsampling can become a critical factor in this as well- but that's a who... | |
| Is the quality of the AC in canada is better than USA ? What an interesting post! Maybe it depends WHERE in Canada. I am in Toronto, live in a 100-year old apartment building uptown with crap 15-amp (if that!) circuits. If I lived in the USA, say, Montana, right beside a power station with a power tran... | |
| Any speaker cable's sound quality just blown you away? Coincident Total Reference | |
| Buying Hi-End CD Player or Transport.. Agreed with Jtinn- I use the Capitole 24/192, and wouldn't trade it for anything right now. Also- I drive 4 tube amps directly in a bi-amp config using the balanced and SE outs simulataeously. The larger 170 wpc triode monoblocks (used for bass du... | |
| good jazz piano Anything by Keith Jarrett; Bill Evans; also (for more upbeat) I like Horace Silver. Good luck- there's lots more! | |
| Best sub 2k SS subwoofer amp w volume controls? thanks for the tips- I also learned that Bryston has gain control option available, and it will fit in my rack, but the other options also sound good. | |
| dcs sound I had a Sim Audio Eclipse CDP with DCS Purcell upsampler. DCS is excellent, however I was able to get rid of 3 pieces (Eclipse CDP; Purcell; ARC preamp) by moving to the excellent Audio Aero Capitole 24/192 one-box CDP. It even has a volume contro... | |
| any one comparing DCS with upsampling to SACD? I had a Sim Audio Eclipse CD player and DCS Purcell upsampler- nice improvement. Things seemed a bit less congested and smoother with the 24/96 upsampling. However, its a moot point now, since I have mad the jump to the Audio Aero Capitole 24/192-... |
