| Power Cord Review Ensemble Mega Powerflux (just under your $600 max criteria), and YES- definitely the Whale Elite (been waiting a long time for a good comparison review on that cord...). | |
| Theta VS EAD I own the Dreadnaught (5 channel model)- fantastic SS amp (check Theta's website for re-printed reviews). The Dread does 2-channel with a finesse that I don't believe you will find in the Powermaster. However, if needs are HT only, then compare th... | |
| Amplifier Hum, and placement. A headstone? Yikes!! My girlfriend is Chinese, and I believe that would be a no-no (hopefully you're not superstitious!). But seriously, I would e-mail Costa at Sim Audio before messing around with the W-5 (I think its service@simaudio.com, but ch... | |
| JPS Power Cords on Amps- who's using? hmmmm.... interesting. Rev_Joe- were you using Kaptovator on SS or tube amp? | |
| Software to give woofers a work-out That's an easy one- 'Sweetback' (self-titled- Sade's back-up band, and they only ever made one disc). Track 1- lowest bass notes I've ever heard- if that track doesn't get those woofers working, I don't know what will! Good luck. | |
| Surrounds don't need as much power Cant' argue with that reasoning IF the speakers are much smaller. I use identical speakers for all 5 channels in my HT system (5 Totem Mani-2's), and drive them equally using the Theta Dreadnaught amp (400wpc into 4 ohms), which I have found to be... | |
| FIM gold vs NBS Statement ? Top Gun- great on Rowland. | |
| Theta reliability? My buddie's Gen VA dac had to go back once, but I own the Dreadnaught amp, and it has been problem free! | |
| Party At Albertporter s Are any Canadians invited? | |
| Speaker Cable for Tube SET System? Hi Dekay. Try the Coincident cables (new top of the line is TRS- Total Reference System). If you e-mail me, I will send you the e-mail of a current owner who is raving about them, and he's an Audiogon regular as well. | |
| Rate my Rack Dudes- Golden Tube has a nice little secret. Its their 300B monoblocks. Once (highly) modified, they are 7 watts of bliss. Mated with a good bass amp in a bi-amping situation, tough to beat. However, having said that, I agree, forget about support... | |
| Isolation Tweak Confusion... Thanks for all the comments guys. Bluenose- you're hilarious! Jeffloistarca- great homemade solutions; Abstract7- nice Rollerblock knockoff! Questforsound- I'll check that out, and Albert- I'll e-mail you (its been months since we spoke anyways- t... | |
| Toronto Audiophile s at Applause Audio Hey Peter- is this a Vinyl guy only thing? I am in Toronto, and have never heard of this little soire... | |
| What s Your Frame of Reference? I just pick a disc that I know like backwards. Much easier to discern any differences that way (usually quicker anyways) | |
| Where will be hi-end audio in 2050? my vote is for FPeel- best response (especially the Bose part!) |
