| Pangea Audio AC-14 power cord I have them in a small tube based system.The amp is a Raysonic 120 and the source is a JAS Musik 1.2 CD player.I used the AC-14 for the amp as well due to tight quarters behind the electronics.So far I am very pleased.They look like cables that co... | |
| PSB Stratus Gold i vs Vandersteen 3a signature I owned both(a number of years back)and they shared the same space in my listening room.The Gold i worked better for me in that they were more forgiving of placement near room boundries.They were placed along the long wall of a 13'x20' room about ... | |
| ProAc vs Totem vs Usher, please comment I have not heard Proacs in several years,but have spent time with the Totems and Ushers at a local dealer.They are certainly different sounding ,but bath are excellent! I find the Ushers to be more complete and rounded.I purchased the Usher 6311 a... | |
| Amp suggestions needed I second the 8008BB.A friend drove Duetta Signatures to glorious heights with a big old Jeff Roland class A amp a few years back. | |
| Another VPI or something else for under $2k I replaced my Scoutmaster with the Acoustic signature Manfred last year.It comes with the RB-250 as the stock tonearm.I had intended to upgrade the arm,but have not found it necessary.it sounds great with both the Ortofon Bronze and Clearaudio Vir... | |
| What's the farthest you've traveled for live music From my home(near philly)to Las Vegas to see my all time favorite band--The Outlaws.We have also incorporated concerts into several vacations including two labor day weekend shows at the Pechanga Casino in Temecula,CA.In '07 we saw Lynyrd Skynyrd ... | |
| Hegel Amplifiers I currently use a Muse 160 mk.II in a solid state 2 channel system(I have several systems in the home).At that time I had an Aragon 8008BB,a Hafler 9505 and a Plinius SA 100 mk.III along with several tube amps.All the amps sounded great(but differ... | |
| upsampling CDP's for $1500? Big difference? I have heard the Raysonic and like it a great deal.My favorite is the JAS Musik 1.2.It upsamples to 96/24 and sounds great with everything I try.It also does HDCD decoding. | |
| Hegel Amplifiers Several years ago,I owned the H4A.It was an outstanding amplifier,Sonically it was the equal of any solid state amp that I had tried up to that time.Excellent tight/deep bass,sweet/extended highs and limitless power.It was too deep for my Milleniu... | |
| What monitor speakers mate well w/ Cambridge Audio Almost all reasonable priced monitors will work well.I used Mission,Kef,Quad and wharfedale with good results when I had cambridge electronics several years ago.I bet the Usher 520 would be a good match.I think they(Cambridge) also have their own ... | |
| Zu or Mark & Daniel My local Hi-end dealer carries the Mark & Daniel.I love them all.They will rock! He used to have the Zu Druid.I was not a big fan. | |
| Pangea power cords I would like to know this as well! | |
| What is more important source or preamp? I agree with Hifitime(weakset link).In addition,system synergy can be as important as the individual components--"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts" | |
| Lost that "Tube Magic". Can you help? One of the best tube integrateds that I have heard is the JAS Bravo 2.3.It is a SET amp that uses 6c33 tubes in the output stage.It is completely tube rectified and puts out a surprisingly robust 18wpc(sounds much more powerful).I heard it at a lo... | |
| onkyo sc885/886 or integra 9.8/9.9? Last year,I was looking to upgrade to an HDMI based system with the lossless Dolby and DTS codecs.Based on Kal's review of the Integra processor,and a bit of on-line research,I purchased the Onkyo 905 receiver.It was virtually identical to the Int... |
