| Nordost Frey interconnect hum Bo1972 - Funny my first real ic purchase were the AQ vipers. I liked them a lot but there was no emotion (blurry - flat sounding and no 'air' between the instruments and vocals) to the music. Good low to high frequency response. Later I got the Ca... | |
| Nordost Frey interconnect hum Daveyf - I never had the chance to listen to the original Tyr's. The only 2 Nordost cables I never heard were original Tyr's and Odin. Also I never heard the Leif series either. So you could be right. My reference at the time were my original Frey... | |
| Nordost Frey interconnect hum Daveyf - Have you had a chance to demo the new series2? I was quite happy with all original Frey's. Then I heard the series2. All I can say is Wow. | |
| Nordost Frey interconnect hum When I was looking at cables I had the demo case that consisted of bh through freys. In my system the bh and rd were too bright for me. The baldur was dull sounding and not as bright. The heimall and frey were extremely close but with those cables... | |
| Dynaudio speaker stands 4 or 6? Thanks for the update. As far as the black/chrome it amazes me how many pictures of those I see with the Dynaudio signatures. Your the second person I've met that likes the black/chrome combo in the last 2 months. I'm curious about the ring. Is th... | |
| Dynaudio speaker stands 4 or 6? Bacardi Those black/chrome stands have been discontinued for about 3 years and unless a dealer has them in stock you won't find new ones. BTW what is the list price on the stand6? | |
| Dynaudio speaker stands 4 or 6? Bacardi The Stand4 came in silver or black powder coat finish. They also had an optional chrome/black stand that was discontinued a couple of years ago. The Stand6 comes in gloss black or white with I believe is the standard powder coat too. Are y... | |
| Dynaudio speaker stands 4 or 6? It's the Stand6 that comes in gloss black. The stand4 that were black/chrome are chrome tubes with gloss black base. I can't find the weight on the stand4 but I thought I read the stand6 is 17 - 18 lbs. I fill only the rear post about 2/3 with san... | |
| Dynaudio speaker stands 4 or 6? I'm not familiar with your speaker but I do have the Stand4 for my Dyn C1 sig's in mocha. Because of that I don't use the top plate. The tubes bolt directly to the bottom of the C1's. Just looked at Dynaudio's web site because I never had heard of... | |
| Static electricity Killin me. B_limo First the fact you are getting shocked means you have a well grounded system. But most people don't realize that when you feel a shock it is somewhere in the neighborhood of 20K volts. Good zaps have been measured to 70k. It's all voltage w... | |

Then which ones are you looking for? Solid Black Plates (best and my favorite) -... | |
| Budget Speaker Recommendation? Not a waste of time. What if someone tomorrow wants to look for some inexpensive but good sounding speakers. Then they don't have to search through years of posts. | |
| Speaker choice: impedance, sensitivity, and tubes Not many - but only the good ones. I think all dealers try their best but sometimes profit margin or price point (lower) means more sales. Well established dealers have been though it. Took my local dealer a couple of years to get it. Now that is ... | |
| Speaker choice: impedance, sensitivity, and tubes Out of curiousity, I called Paradigm to ask whether the S8s (my speakers) were designed to work best with SS or tube amps. The tech service rep said the S8s soak up current, as much as the amp can push out. In fact, he said SS was the way to go.No... | |
| Moving from Dynaudio Confidence 3? My original C1's always sounded better the more you turned them up. That was fixed with the MKII/Signature. But I think the problem is with your amp. I had a Bryston B100sst and although it sounded very good with the C1's it wasn't the best for me... |
