| Interconnects at modest cost? Ton, are you still using the cableplex nirvanas? | |
| Which direction would you go? Hey Mike,I didn't read all the posts, so forgive me if I am repeating something.As of last year, I had unforgiving glare in my system too. At first I thought my stereo's room size is too small, and there was this god awful mirrored sliding closet ... | |
| CD direct to amp vs active preamp Hi Sean,I've read many responses that basically says digital attenuation isn't desireable because you are taking away 1 bit of resolution for every 6 db attenuated. For now, I am going direct from Alpha dac to amp. I don't have a fantastic preamp,... | |
| audio quest product "pyramid" I've been using these charts as a reference for awhile. It's too bad they dont have crystal, lapis and diamonds in them. Also, would be cool if they include the differences between each version. But hey, I am asking for too much, again, I know. | |
| TUNERS..anyone? I have an old Luxman T-240. How does that rate among tuners? | |
| alternate method of bi-wiring Pm,In most situations, double bi-wire, using the same cable on HF and LF would be best. You should borrow some cables or buy some with 30day trial offers and experiment for yourself.Sugar, yup, i moved my speakers closer together by about 6 inches... | |
| Would I be a happy boy with an ARC CA-50? Oops, the seller of the CA-50 just informed me that it has a variable sub out... | |
| alternate method of bi-wiring Hey Sugar,For me to use bi-wire is double jeaporady. What I mean is, when I was burning in my P3 VD powercord with my speakers bi-wired, my soundstage was way too wide where the center focus dissapeared. Also, the deficiencies of the Midnight when... | |
| alternate method of bi-wiring Sugar,I don't have two runs of the same cable to compare with the jumpers. However, I have been double-bi-wiring for the last 6 years using AQ Argents/Midnights. After some powercable upgrades, my system sounds much better by letting the speaker r... | |
| alternate method of bi-wiring Does everyone here bi-wire their speakers?I think I am the only one that doesn't bi-wire around here.I just got some Goertz silver jumpers. These jumpers are solid silver and 10 mm thick. Hmm...... they sound better than bi-wire in my system. | |
| Who has tried Virtual Dynamics cables? Hey Bro, I can't answer your question. But I surmise the Power 3, 2, and 1 all have the same connectors and other properties such as shielding and mechanical filtering. The difference is the size of the conductors, gauge.I just got off the phone w... | |
| Would I be a happy boy with an ARC CA-50? Max,I double checked. Eventhought ARC's website describes the "preouts" to be a subsonic or multiroom output, I surmise it is a full range pre-out, thus the CA-50 can be used as a preamp as well. First of all, it makes no sense that the CA50 can b... | |
| Used DAC or Used CD Player??? I wouldn't keep the Marantz. I have the same 63se. At least in my experience, the Marantz proved to be an average transport. For $1500, you can get a great CD player or trans/dac at used prices. Or, check out tweakaudio.com. This Ric fellow is mod... | |
| Would I be a happy boy with an ARC CA-50? Hey Max,I stand corrected. It has a subout, but at least the output is variable? This way, if I am to power the LF with my aragon, which might be too much for the CA50 since it has 250w@4ohm, I wouldn't need another attenuator.TT isn't a big deal ... | |
| Would I be a happy boy with an ARC CA-50? Max,I think CA-50 has preouts for an amp or sub. You can use that if you don't mind driving your speakers full range with the CA50. I hope the CA50 has a good phonostage too. I haven't used my turntable in ages.Glen, Did you win the lottery? What ... |
