| Parasound HCA-3500: Which aftermarket power cords? I am really happy with Morrow Audio MAP 2s | |
| BAT with Harbeth? Other recommendation..? I really like BAT, but if you're budget mnded consider a PS Audio GCC. Google for reviews. Fabulous sound, differentially balanced, best volume control, and full function remote | |
| Harshness in tweeters: the price of transparency? Ia gree that issues in the system are contributing. Herbies Audio makes some of the best isolation and resonance control devices for shelves and components.A lot of interconnects and speaker cables are hyper-detailed. The lack of warmth magnifies ... | |
| two way or three way speakers First understand that bass rarely will load in a room in the same plain as the mids and highs. Also controling bass resonance in the same cabinet as mids/highs is expensive.Deep or powerful bass requires a lot more power than mids/highs, requiring... | |
| Proceed PDT 3/PDP 3 I have fond memories of those pieces. In between I have owned a lot of highly praised transpDACs and players. I now have a Raysonic 168 and drive my amps direct from the balanced variable outs. Add a Machina Dynamica Code Name Torquoise for the we... | |
| Upgrade MSB Link III to "Full Nelson" or ? Get a Raysonic 168 and run it direct to your amplifiers | |
| Nuforce and Vandersteen I haven't heard NuForce but the Wyred4Sound is a hell of a bargain. I am using 2 SX 500s for my Magnepan 3.5R mid/bass panels. When I switched to Clear Day solid core silver shotgun speaker cables (he advertises here) I was knocked out at the harm... | |
| What's most important synergy wise??? Although Mac is an older company, BAT has the know how, especially when it comes to balanced designs, which IMHO are the very heart of hi-end audio. One of my friends sold his previous TOL BAT preamp (forgot the model #) and got the Rex. He is blo... | |
| Any thoughts in ICE amps? I have PS Audio GCA 250 with Underwood HiFi level 2 mod running my Magnepan 3.5R ribbon tweeters and a pair of Wyred4Sound SX 500s on the mid/bass panels. Tough lods to be sure, but the amps handle with aplomb. Fabulous sound, too! | |
| Cable suggestions requested YOu don't have to spend giga money to get great sound. Clear Day (advertises here) solid core silver shotgun speaker cables compare to exotic cables at a fraction of the price. 2 "sanely" priced interconnects - DH Labs revelation Audio and PS Audi... | |
| speaker suggestion Usher 6311s | |
| Efficient floorstndrs. to reach above furniture Usher 6311s | |
| Biwiring benefits with Magnepan speakers 3.6R Yes, especially when you eliminate the passive XO and go active. Behringer CX3410 is less than $200. As for speaker cables the Clear Day solid core silver shotgun really allowed my 3.5Rs to open up. Most seamless speaker cables I have ever owned a... | |
| choice of ref pre amps First Overture would be my first choice in the hi-end ($$$) arena, followed by Parasound JC 2 ($4K)In the "affordable" PS Audio GCP 200/GCPS ($3K) | |
| Amp upgrade question Too many variables to hone in what exactly is the problem. I would recommend checking into Clear Day solid core silver shotgun speker cables. They did wonderful things for my HFs as well as every other music parameter. Best of all, they are afford... |
