| New H20 Signature S250 It was odd. As if the mix of certain CDs (and not all of them) had been altered... some things were pushed farther into the mix. I had to turn it up to an uncomfortable point to retrieve them. I also thought (not really sure about this due to the ... | |
| New H20 Signature S250 FWIW:I just auditioned the sig S250 and it didn't like my Transparent Ref networked cables. Henry suggested this would happen to me, but I have long cable runs and couldn't easily find a good substitute cable without it getting real spendy.My frie... | |
| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? EPOS ELS-3 | |
| Ayre or Rowland Amp? To answer the question above, the front end is Sony SCD-1, 3x modded by Richard Kern, into ARC LS5MKIII with Infinicaps and removeable IEC. I think I am using an Electraglide with that - and its power is via dedicated line through an Ultimate Outl... | |
| Ayre or Rowland Amp? Can you give a description of that H2O? I know what you mean about revealing, but think my stuff is pretty good (i.e.: balanced Transparent Ref cables, lots of power filtering and dedicated lines, etc.) Any detail would be helpful since there's so... | |
| Audio Research VT100 - MKI or MKII or MKIII? MKII upgrade was a leap forward in every way, especially in the bass! I've not heard a III. I run mine on a PS Audio P600, with the fan on a seperate circuit so the PS multiwave doesn't screw the cooling. That adds even more and tighter bass. | |
| KEF 2005.2 + Harman Kardon 135? I have a pair of eggs which I've been breaking in - they are loud enough for me with a 50wpc SS amp and I think they'd get plenty louder if I turn it up. I believe they arerated at 88db/w/m, which is average or so. I noticed they were what I'd ter... | |
| Klipsch love them or hate them. I heard the same set of Choruses sound INCREDIBLE in one setup and lousy in another. I auditioned another pair in my home (worse!) It's the interaction with the room, amp, etc. that matters big-time! Tube amps especially sweet with the larger Klip... | |
| Pass Labs versus Jeff Rowland, Audio Research You mention an ARC LS2B - I had the MKII of that model and found the LS5MKIII to be far better - you can find one used periodically. Used it'd be a real value and you can still change amps. I think it'd get you closer to something great!Best regar... | |
| Anyone know/remember this funky speaker? Might be the Heil (ESS full range - but I never saw them... the tubey things ring a bell.) | |
| Best Amp/Preamp/CD or DAC for Wilson Watt Puppy 7 I'd sure try some experimentation before you dump your amp. I recall listening to several top CD players a few years ago and all were 'nice' but all had their own character. Top or close to the top Wadia, Theta, ARC. My point is system synergy is ... | |
| Amplifier and preamplifier for Wilson Watt puppy 7 Cables or room. Start there. In fact, start with room placement. | |
| Sytrofoam peanuts and EVIL and worthless Here's the solution. Wish I could patent it. Buy the zippered large baggies. Actual zippers on there - not the squeeze type. Put the peanuts into the baggies. Zip shut.Pack the baggies around your gear. No mess. Great strength. Reusable. No mess. ... | |
| Are Wilson speakers Don't know about the 3/2s, but the 7s were a nice step in every way over the 5.1s. | |
| ARC LS-5MKIII or ARC LS-25MKII I have the LS5MKIII - and when I originally auditioned it against the Ref 1 (home demo) thought the 5 was much more soulful. Had Steve at GNS put in IEC for aftermarket cords and had ARC put Infinicaps in. Suspect it'll be a legacy piece of gear I... |
