| Dynavector 10X5, 2M Black, Grado Platinum or....? If you've got enough $$$ for the 2M Black, get a Dynvector 20XL instead and you'll never look back. I like the Black, but I LOVE the 20XL. My musical tastes are identical to yours - 90% hard rock and jazz. | |
| Frequency Range - Bookshelf Speakers Acoustat6 - wow, took me a minute to figure out what you were talking about! FYI - for anyone else, the quote Acoustat6 attributes to me is from an old post unrelated to this one.The short answer is that I've never really had any problems with sub... | |
| I've got a PS Audio GCC-250 on the way. Mistake?? Hey Johnnyb53 - I'm using a Furman Elite-15PFi power conditioner and PS Audio Plus power cables with good success. I was surprised by the XStream cables too - they sounded pretty good with my old A/AB amp. They really closed in the highs with the ... | |
| In need of an amplifier... I've read several posts of people having great success with the PS Audio GCC and GCA amps and Maggies. I couldn't be happier with my GCC mated to a pair of Usher X-718's. | |
| Frequency Range - Bookshelf Speakers I've tried, TRIED, I tell you! ... to properly integrate a sub with bookshelf speakers. In my experience (for what that's worth... not much), you don't want a monitor going lower than around 60hz or you start messing with serious room modes, etc. ... | |
| I'm a Consumer Reports sort of guy. Is there a pla If outstanding reliability is paramount in your quest, then take Shadorne's advice and look for who has a reasonably long track record and offers the best warranty. Sonics aside, Bryston is hard to beat for backing up their products. Can't ask for... | |
| I've got a PS Audio GCC-250 on the way. Mistake?? One aspect of the amp that Ive found very interesting over the last week is how much its presentation changes with regards to associated equipment. Cables, for example, make huge differences where with other amps the changes were much more subtle... | |
| I've got a PS Audio GCC-250 on the way. Mistake?? Holy mother of crap!!! NOT a mistake!I've been running the amp pretty much non stop since it arrived. I've tried it with a pair of NHT Classic Three's and it sounded very good. After a few days, I switched out the NHT's for some Usher X-718s I rec... | |
| I've got a PS Audio GCC-250 on the way. Mistake?? It will be here Wednesday - took the guy a week to ship it which was a little frustrating, but that's okay.I'm very interested to hear it - I'll be trying it with a pair of NHT Classic Threes and some Usher X-718's, curious to see how it sounds. I... | |
| other then bose what amp could drive not so sure about that - don't Bose products use proprietary connections between the unit and the speakers? | |
| Best "dark side of the moon" Mr. Lavigne - perhaps the best post ever on AudiogoN!You're exactly right and everything you've stated applies to the whole game, right down to what speaker wire people prefer. It's all got to do with what plays best in our individual rooms and wh... | |
| I've got a PS Audio GCC-250 on the way. Mistake?? Thanks Eric - did you use it with your 803's? I figured that their had to be some synergy between the GCPH and GCC series that was worth exploring. Thanks again for your input. | |
| I've got a PS Audio GCC-250 on the way. Mistake?? I guess this works both ways - equipment that was purchased under the recommendation of others that aren't synergistic with your system and others that are loved by some and hated by others (the GCC series of amps, it seems) that are synergistic w... | |
| I've got a PS Audio GCC-250 on the way. Mistake?? Hi Stereo - that's good to hear that you've had good results with Class-D amps. I love my PS Audio GCPH phono stage a great deal which is why I jumped on the GCC-250 when I saw it. Hopefully it will mesh well with my gear and I'll live it! If not,... | |
| I've got a PS Audio GCC-250 on the way. Mistake?? Hey Johnnyb53 - yep, thought I'd give it a try and see if it fits well with my system. I understand everyones point about "only in my room and with my speakers, and to my ears etc." I'll report back once I have it up and running a while, just was ... |
