| Best interconnects for AYRE gear ? Ayre voices all of their components with Cardas cables. That doesn't mean you might not like something else better. | |
| Anyone know price of Wilson Benesch Triptych stand I con't even figur out wha your quezstion is. | |
| Unusually good power cord for the money? 1. Audusa Eupen (new)2. Zucable Mother (used) | |
| Any opinions re UK forums Vs. Audiogon? I think that Audiogon is more "polite," probably due to the quality of those that trade and post here. I also enjoy reading off-topic and non-audio posts, but many of such posts, including some my own, have been censored or removed from this site. | |
| Zucable's Varial I've used the balanced versions in the past and was very pleased. They compare favorably to the KS 1130s but seem to have a little more treble energy than the Kimbers. Zucable's customer support is first rate, and they give 60 days to try them. | |
| Any Benefits of a DAC vs a one box player? I'd bet that the internal DAC of the CD2 is better than the older external unit. You have a nice system. I'd save the money and upgrade your amps. | |
| another rookie DAC question..... Chad,There are alot of variables here. Your Rotel processor probably has some pretty decent DACs in it to begin with, and there's no guarantee that an external unit will outperfom what you already have.The first step would be to listen to some mus... | |
| What do you do with Ayre? Ayre voices all of their components to work best with Cardas cables. The Ayre brand cables are even made by Cardas. From what I've been told, Ayre recommends all except the Neutral Reference for listening purposes. | |
| Freezer Cryoed Cables... A freezer cannot cool any metal enough to alter its' molecular properties. You think it sounds better because you want it to sound better. | |
| Best way to move a Sony TV from CA to TX Welcome to Texas. I'd wrap the entire TV in several layers of bubble wrap. Secure it to a wooden palate and have BAX Global ship it to your new home. | |
| Why haven't we heard more about HR-X??? I wonder why anyone would care what pseudo-intellectual gas bags in Stereophile or other magazines would recommend. Aside from being unemployed DJs, I'm not aware of any credentials that they have in terms of turntable or electronic design. Just m... | |
| I need to replace my E34 tube on my Audio Aero Amp I agree with most of the above. Don't buy the current Svetlana/Sovteks. The "Winged C" brand Svetlanas are really good, especially if cryo'ed. I love the sound of NOS Mullards and Telefunkens, but the current asking prices are way too high! If you... | |
| Favorite SS amp/Tube preamp combo My favorite tube pre/solid state power combo would be the ARC Reference 2 Mk.II with Linn Klimax (solos or twin) amplification. This is an extremely good, synergistic combo. Not cheap, but with current used prices, not out of reach either. If you ... | |
| Universal Digital Player With Digital Inputs? The Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista SACD has digital inputs. Although it is not a "universal" player, I have found that mine will actually read most DVD-A disks. | |
| Quad 99CDP digital in for DVD? If your are thinking of using the Quad's DAC for movie surround sound, it won't work because the Quad probably can't decode Dolby Digital or DTS, and there will only be two analog channels out. |
