| Less Revealing Replacement for Thiel CS 1.2? So, are you saying that you want an inferior (less forgiving) speakeras to not hear the inherent weakness in your system and/ or cds? Less forgiving is, to me, euphamistic claptrap for speakers that just can't muster what they're fed. I used to ow... | |
| When adding rubber isolator feet to CD player I would by pass the feet altogether and put three 1" audiopoints, to start, under your cdp. After you listen for a long while (and love the improvement) you may, just, want to move up to an SP1 stand. A significant upgrade from the three points. Y... | |
| Upgrading the Source. I have the perfect monitor, BTW. To me, at least...and I've done a lot of listening....peace, warren | |
| Upgrading the Source. I am not saying that Polks are poor speakers. I'm saying that they are not my cup of tea. No big deal. Those Polks are nice little speakers. Product of the year? Great. They are no Revel M20s, Nautilus 805, Jmlab Utopia Be, Harmonic Precision Cara... | |
| Upgrading the Source. If you take your present system and added a $10k plus cdp, the sound would not be even close (if you canned the Polks) to what the addition of a $3K (maybe less) pair of monitors or floorstanders would do. Speaker upgrade will give you the biggest... | |
| New power for my Nautilus 805's - Integrated Amps? I would seriously consider the YBA Integre. 50 of the most glorioius SS watts out there. Used, can be done easily in your price range, with room to buy a pair of Sistrum Mini Monitor Platform stands for your 805s. You have no idea where your speak... | |
| Upgrading the Source. Bottom line always ends up with your speakers. Where is your new, quality source material going to go? Into a less than integrated, then onto less than speakers. I'm not a Polk fan. Never met a Polk that I was crazy about. Bookself speakers? I'd s... | |
| Upgrading the Source. Everybody has their own way. I believe that if you make a serious upgrade of any component it will just show up, as a rule, the inherent weaknesses of your other components. That has been my experience. I don't have a clue to your budget. That is,... | |
| My frugal dream be merciless YBA Integra- 50 of the best SS watts you'll ever hear- $800Revel M20s- they love a lot of juice ,but the Integra will do it. (especially if you're into jazz) $1200 with standsLat International power cords and ICs- brand spanking new. The best darn... | |
| Audition suggestions please I use to own the Revel M20s. Preferred them over the 805s. Now, I own the Harmonic Precision, Caravelles. These monitors (speakers) are one of the best speakers I have ever heard, regardless of price. These may be $$ wise much more than you want t... | |
| Electraglide Ultra Kahn / Shunyata Anaconda vx I would take a serious look at the Harmonix X-DC Studio Masters. One of the greatest values (never thought I'd say that about a $1k plus cord) considering the cost of the big boys. I have a golden earred buddy, who traded in all his Elrods for the... | |
| CDP question? For just a tad more, you can get a brand spanking new Audio Aero Prima. Sweetest cdp I know of. A couple of tubes help that happen. This baby will go tete a tete with the big boys and holds its' own. The Prima is 90% ot its' big brother. AND that'... | |
| Electraglide Ultra Khan II Stmt. vs. Harmonix X-DC Are you talking about the Harmonix X-DC or do you mean the Harmonix X-DC Studio Masters? Big difference. | |
| Upgrading the Source. Ohlala corrected me about your Rotel comments. Knowing that, I , wouldn't do a darn thing. Once you seriously upgrade any one of your components, that will begin the audiophoolish world of total system change over. We all suffer from this disorder... |
