| PASS LABS XP20 or MODWRIGHT LS 36.5 DM I recently recommended this preamp to another Agoner in a private email... Its not everyones cup of tea, but seems to answer what you are looking for.. The reviews are outstanding and all say this pre bridges the gap between ss & tubes, they a... | |
| Windows Media Player My guess is and guess only, you were probably listening to files that were 16/44 or better in the store demo and at home you might be using 320k or so now. There is a noticeable quality difference. The above suggstions from the other 2 guys will g... | |
| Best speaker design for low to mid volume? Well there you, every answer is correct and no one agrees. There is no answer as far as one design being better at low volume. You'd probably be better off asking for the brand. I've built alot....alot of speakers. Generally if you can find a spea... | |
| Preamp recomendation Hi Ghoeper, No none of the pre's I mentioned have tone controls. I can give you some lower priced units with tone controls, but you lose remote. It seems to me some of the newer B&K units have remote, but they are mid fi. The units I mentioned... | |
| Preamp recomendation Audio Research LS9 Muse 3 signatureClasse FiveCoda Windows Continuum 4Adcom GFP750These are all winners, Nice sounding, balanced or single ended, remote The Audio Research really needs to run balanced (low gain on single ended) | |
| USB cables Nickjn, Sorry, I've been traveling and just checked this thread. I certainly noticed a difference with the Cinnamon across the board. A tad tighter in bass, better image placement and smoother top end. All were minor improvements, but improvements... | |
| Ayre V-Kxe and Thiel 2.4s Any of the newer Coda amps would do a fine job with this speaker. All double down to 4 ohms and most are even 1 ohm stable. Most might recall a couple were specifically designed to drive low impedance panels and Coda OEM for Innersound/Sanders sou... | |
| amp/preamp for snell b minor Sell the integrated, get a very tubey pre... CJ maybe | |
| USB cables I am using Audioquest Cinnamon, I have only compared it to cheap cables, so I might not be the one to chime in, but it certainly has no glaring problems. I have read that both the Audioquest Carbon and the Kimber Silvers are great values... | |
| electrical short 1 channel. Cable spade at fault? In the long run, if you want to use these cables, the problem has to be addressed. I have on a few occasions taken cables to my garage and fired up my grinder and filed down ends. Then change to a buffing pad and smoothed out the filing.. Always g... | |
| Infinity RS 1b the one with 4 Towers - Recommend? RWD (Rick)I want to recommend something, I have said it on Audiogon several times and people think I'm crazy, but what I am telling you I have done COUNTLESS times. If your surrounds are starting to dry rot, they can be fairly well restored for se... | |
| Please help me understand Two cars both have the same tires, but one is noisier on the road... different type outputs have their own character, different capacitors have the own, different resistors, the amount of and type of wire in a circuit sound different. Not to menti... | |
| CD Ripping software Its not like I have any idea what you guys are talking about, but I've gotten together with another good audiophile buddy, we copied redbook and downloaded wav vs flac. Only on the very best recordings at the highest bit/sample rates were there mi... | |
| upgrading speaker crossovers I've not looked at the PSB Stratus Gold i's crossovers directly. I have looked at their design several years ago, seems I recall they were 4th order tweeter mid. The most dramatic change will be with any cap that is in the positive line in the twe... | |
| Is there any truth to this question? Once you have enough power to get to the volume you need, it is more Power supply and current capability, not watts per channel. |
