| amp help - joule - transcendent - berning - atma good advice clueless. didn't say what you were looking for in an amp upgrade...sweeter sound, more air, better bass?it's difficult to make a system sound much better by adding something on the 'back end'...just different.perhaps lower power is wha... | |
| Absolute Power Cords? Any opinions? that is a classic and good to bear in mind within the world of high end audio | |
| looking for good amp match with jm labs 920.1 the boominess is probably related to room acoustics, rather than amp choice. put the speakers on the long wall and well away from corners and walls if possible, you may need room treatment or more furniture to absorb some of the bass energy. | |
| upgrade krell mc250 to mc350's for 1,000. unless you're obviously lacking power in your setup (hard to imagine) it is generally better to stick with the lower power amp of a series; fewer output devices to match, making for potentially better or cleaner sound. theoretically. | |
| EAD CD 1000 Series III HDCD player? This has been out of production for a couple of years. EAD is now focusing on home theater. I had an Ultradisc 2000 and it sounded significantly livelier with a ESP Essence cord on it ($500 retail). I'm sure there are other options as well.As far ... | |
| Zen Triode Amp SE84C Just make sure your speakers are above 92 or so sensitivity, otherwise the amp will run out of steam too easily. I would try it. You can return if it's a no-go, and you might learn something about your CDs or CD player that you did not know before... | |
| Absolute Power Cords? Any opinions? I ordered some of these and plugged them all in (5) and there was no difference in sound from my previous cables (Audioquest AC-12 with Hubbells, home terminated). While the price is ok for these, they are stranded wire, not particularly large gau... | |
| A great SS preamp with separate power supply the classe cp-60 can be had for that price, uses a seperate power supply and sounds fine. | |
| MIT cables for Spectral amps ? You may not do damage, but you might void the warranty. Harry Pearson used Nordost speaker cables on a pair of DMA- 360s and had fine results. I think spectral worries about speaker damage if the megahertz range of the amp is not filtered by the M... | |
| Need B&W match for Krell KAV300i amp how about a used set of 802s (pre-nautilus)? | |
| What does "B-Stock" mean? b stock usually means the item was dead out of the box when new, and sent back to the manufacturer for repair, then repaired, tested, and the box resealed. b stock should come with full warranty and price should be lower. | |
| Pre-amp Suggestions for Tubes & Electrostats I'm a little doubtful about adding an active stage to that system, unless there's an obvious matching problem between the Sony and the amps, or unless you want more functionality that a simple passive attenuator doesn't give you...it's hard to get... | |
| Cable Hedge for the kestrels i recommend dh labs, www.audioc.com is a source. i believe meadowlark uses this wire internally, so it's a good match. in the $150 range for a 10 foot stereo pair. monster is ok for the bookshelf speakers. have fun! | |
| Is my preamp dying a slow painful death? this is possibly the volume control deteriorating. the mf volume controls on the older models aren't that great. just a possibility. | |
| What is good speaker match for Rowland 112 Amp ??? Sounds like a revealing system, and a lot of CD is shrilly in the first place. More details please. |
