| Review: Schnerzinger X-5000 Kabel - audio cable Interconnect Schnerzinger still is like a secret to the high end market and this is a pity for all those high end guys who spend their big money for cables elsewhere. I'm happy about everyone to experience how superior Schnerzinger cables are and share this wi... | |
| Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions" The value of power cables synergy depends on the designers concept and the quality of the system.When I had Electraglide cables and Shunyata Anaconda Vx's, one Anaconda in the system was great, a second one slowed down the systems sound to much. I... | |
| sound difference MIT ORACLE AC1 vs ELROD vs PURIST I don't know whether "cumulative" is the best word, nevertheless I agree. I had started with a single Elrod Statement, and finally ended with 4 Statements in my old system, this worked very well.To optimize the power system is a very complicated t... | |
| Adam Audio of Germany I've heard the Adam Tensor speakers (Alpha or Beta - I don't remember) at the high end in munich and talked to the designer and to the sales person. Adam had a very small room with problematic acoustics. Under these circumstances the sound was ver... | |
| Subwoofer Speake Cable - Important?? Of course you should pay attention to an appropriate bass power amp at first place. The Crown K2 is top class for bass and at a moderate price point.The speaker cable for subwoofer makes quite a difference. I have well had, as Im just in the pr... | |
| EMM Lab DCC2 & CDSD Better connection? Nsgarch,I very much like the performance of the Aural Symphonics Optimism V2 and V1 and use those fine optical cables for my Wadia 270/27ix combo. But the Optimism is optimized for Wadia, not for EMM. In fact the V2 will not even work with EMM, th... | |
| What sub for Watt/Puppy 7? - Watchdog vs. WHOW Thanks all,Steve, I'm glad that you base your guidance on the very comparison WHOW vs. Watchdog. I understand your point!Raul, I've looked at your system and I'm very impressed. The fact that you are happy with your Velodyne's shows me that they w... | |
| Revox B795 Turntable I once had a B790 back in 1979 as part of my complete B-series system. The B790 was a very interesting concept, sounded ok, but was not really convincing sonically. The B795 - if I remember correctly - was a slightly cheaper version very similar t... | |
| Anyone using a 27ix/270 with a Purcell? I have a 270/27ix combo. A friend also had a 270/27ix combo with a Purcell. He thought that it improved the sound but a direct comparison was not so easy. He drove to me and we tested his 270/Purcell/27ix vs. mine 270/27ix extensively. Bottom line... | |
| Which Krell for driving subs? I agree recommending Crown. Take the Crown K2. It has no fan, is absolutely fantastic for bass amplification. I use it in bridged mode for my Wilson Audio WHOW subwoofer. For Krell you surely pay much more but you may get less. | |
| Purist Audio, Elrod or Shunyata power cord? I'm using Elrod Statement power cord and Elrod speaker cables. If you want body, details, big sound stage, deep base, this is a ticket, definitely for my system. Regaring your system, I don't know.I recommend that you call David Elrod, he's honest... | |
| Watt/Puppy improvements Just read your post, because I was searching for "harmonix".I have two tuning recommendations:1. Buy a used WHOW III, if possible with the Krell crossover. Equipped with the right amp this will solve your bass problem as it did in my system.2. I'm... | |
| Accuphase voltage conversion 110/120 to 230 VAC You may think about buying from Hongkong - much cheaper than in Europe. Hongkong uses 220V/50Hz, which should work without any modification. | |
| Watt/Puppy 5.1 Upgrades? The real upgrade is adding a WHOW sub. This gives you what the W/P5.1 is missing - deepest bass, more space, more relaxed sound, great ambience retrieval. | |
| Does Crown k2 amp match the b&W Matrix 802? 4 year old K2 is a steal for 400$ - if it's in fair condition of course.The K2 is absolutely world class for bass but may not be adequate for full range to pair with the 802. I use it for my Wilson Audio WHOW subwoofer, where it is absolutely fant... |
