| Does anyone use a Bel Canto Pre2 P ? When I listen to the Bel Cantos, I simply hear "neutral" and "accurate". They will play whatever is fed to them, without coloration. I can hear the difference between LP, solid state CDP, and tube output CDP. The cables will be less important than... | |
| Speltz Anti-cable needs break-in period? I have a rather short distance between my monoblocks and the speakers, only about 24 inches. I have spaced them as widely as possible from each other until of course they terminate. Most of the distance they are about 4-6 inches apart to each modu... | |
| Speltz Anti-cable needs break-in period? With my Von Schweikert VR-4JRs, I use the Speltz anti-cables. I have tried twisted and untwisted and found the bass more defined and quicker using untwisted. I also thought the extreme highs were more natural. I have gone back and forth and now pr... | |
| Does anyone use a Bel Canto Pre2 P ? I recommend that you talk to Wally at Underwood. He has several to recommend and I have talked with him about them. He can sell you Bel Canto as well as Monolithic and others. He has been great to deal with. | |
| HSU VTF-2 MK 2 - How is the quality these days? I cannot speak to this sub specifically, but, as above, I have used the VTF-3 Mark II for two years and it is trouble-free. I enjoy it very much. The staff at Hsu are very responsive and have integrity. I have faith that they would not compromise ... | |
| Denon 2900 or Oppo 971 I have experience with the Oppo 970 universal player, not the 971. The 971 has rated higher by some reviewers on picture quality, but these players look better with HDMI. I use component inputs on my older 50" RP HDTV. The professional tuner who c... | |
| cable dielectric cause of artificial sound I like Koegz response. After spending all this money on electronics, we expect wire to be the final touch. Wire is like horsepower, to get more horsepower costs money, to get a lot more horsepower costs huge amounts of money. You have to have grea... | |
| Belden wire from Blue Jeans Cable? In response to your question about whether Blue Jeans is better than Monster...I am sure Monster makes some better cable than I have heard, but I think the Blue Jeans is better than any of the regular Monster. I also like solid wire, so i prefer t... | |
| Belden wire from Blue Jeans Cable? I don't believe any of their products has any particular sonic characteristics. I have bought many different cables from them and have been happy with all of them. I have had some rather long runs of video to TV and RCA pre-amp to amp and didn't w... | |
| cable dielectric cause of artificial sound If the issue is that the dialectric potentially changes the sound, and oxidation of copper potentially changes the sound, wouldn't pure copper wire covered in something to prevent shorting, and oxidation, be ideal? Where do the Speltz anti-cables ... | |
| Why Von Schweikert VR-1 too lower price ? If our experience with Von Schweikert VR-4JRs are any indication, this means that there is a new VR-1 waiting in the wings and the stock of current VR-1s are being sold at a discount. Still, I have the VR-1s and love them. I recently bought the VR... | |
| Subwoofer Question on Placement. Trial and error. I found that moving my 80 lb. sub was a chore, but necessary. A Radio Shack meter properly compensated gave me a good idea about peaks and valleys in the frequency response. A small REL sub I have is designed for filling in below ... | |
| great and small bookshelf speaker- You might audition the Von Schweikert VR-1. I have them sitting in bookshelves and they sound almost as good as they do on stands. Very realistic and believable soundstage. | |
| Jolida JD 100 Display Dim? Owner's please reply Not normal. | |
| Need help with sub selection I use the Q108E REL with Von Schweikert VR-1s in a small room. Nice and small, bass to 30 Hz. To get lower you will need a larger sub. I also have a beautiful Hsu VTF-3R that goes to 18 Hz (-2 dB), flat to 20 Hz., but it is bigger. Great price and... |
