| Simple copper speaker terminal jumpers? Lost my originals. Personally, I prefer to use very short lengths of the same cable that's running from amp to speaker. Several manufacturers (e.g. Wireworld) make these as standard, and others (see above) will make custom lengths. But it seems to make sense to me... | |
| how do you compare the hegel h80 to rogue sphinx v2??? I don't see this as much of a step up at all. What motivated the change? Are you locked in? Or? What were you trying to achieve? Although they will have different presentations, they're both great-bang-for-the-buck products, but hardly the la... | |
| A litlle help for choice of speakers up to €5500 (used or new) Miguel, you've opened a can of worms here.Perhaps you can tell us which makes/brands of speakers are more or less readily available to you in Portugal. That at least would narrow down the options. At it stands, you're going to receive a very wid... | |
| Contemplating move from Elac UniFi FS’s to ex-demo Devore Super 8s I'd say go for it. I use my CMII to drive speakers that list for 7K new. Though this being the internet, you'll get a gazillion responses telling you to ditch the Devore and instead go for speaker A, B, C, D,... Z. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Johnny R (audioconnection) used to carry the Belles, but now I see they're gone from the website.Back to classical. Farrar, Orchestral Pieces, on Chandos, is superb-sounding, a notably deep soundstage and some great bass thwacks. Style is post-E... | |
| Opinions on best integrated under 10k? By specifying 200W, you exclude a very strong recommendation, the Simaudio 600i. | |
| Need recommendation for amplifier @cscrutinizer Take another look at Rogue. A Cronus Magnum II knocked my Ayre AX-7 off its perch. And if you have the $$, RP-5 + Stereo 100. | |
| HOW TO POSITION 2 PAIRS OF SPEAKER FOR ALTERNATE LISTENING We've all seen those crowded demo rooms in stores, with 4 or 5 speakers x2 lined up like soldiers on parade. Unless there's free space to both sides, there's going to be some deleterious effects. I'd rather put some of some furniture sliding pad... | |
| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 If they haven't had a set of new capacitors installed, the 20-year-olds will be at a distinct disadvantage in any listening comparisons... | |
| Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 1) @guidocorona I assumed (and still believe) that @clearthink's posts were pure parody. | |
| Need recommendation for amplifier If you want class D, I'd look at whatever you can afford in the Bel Canto range.For something more conventional, yet excellent for the price, check out the different stereo and mono offerings from Odyssey. Again you can tailor to price, or you mi... | |
| Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 1) @jond he'll never tell you, because the wonders of 3D Tru-Fi are strictly limited to a few, a very few, initiates, who know how to take the right micro-steps to implement the electronic dimensionality correctly. | |
| Biggest impact: moving from integrated to separates @asp307 Agreed that moving from a 2.5K integrated to a 3.5k pre-amp connected to a 3.5K amp *should* make a considerable difference, but in this "hobby" I’ve found that dollar-based logic doesn’t always work out the way you’d expect it to. Still, ... | |
| Tube preamp recommendations $3K-$7K range Rogue RP-5. | |
| Biggest impact: moving from integrated to separates I tend to agree with @helomech. As a CMII owner, I have inevitably wondered what it would be like to replace it with an RP-5 and Stereo 100, but until I get a chance to hear that combo, I’ve concluded that the difference would in all likelihood b... |
