Good Mission stand mount models? please advise.
I have the Mission/Cyrus 782's and 781's. These came out as a replacement for the original 770's when Cyrus bought into Mission. In my opinion they are much better all around than the 770's.I have seen a much later 782 that was a floor stander but... 
Integrateds that pair well with Dynaudio Excite32
As A Dyn C1 owner I can say that Dyn's like amps with high current. I think the Naim Xs (slightly above your upper end of your budget - used) is a great musical integrated that pairs extremely well with Dyn's. Also with the Xs as funds permit ther... 
Sound imbalance w/ integrated amp
Well without a schematic and an oscilloscope it would be very hard to trace the source of the problem. I would first check for poor solder connections everywhere and maybe the resistance of the balance pot. If a cap look for the obvious like a bul... 
Summer Power Woes
Miguel,What do you think of the new Pure Power regenerators? I remember researching these several years ago and liked the concept.I don't have the newest version but I have the 1050 in April and like it very much. My injput voltage varies from 113... 
Faceplates Silver or Black???????
Personally I like black because it doesn't stand out like silver. The drawback is that it shows dust a lot faster. 
any reviews Nordost norse 2 lineup?
G_d I am extremely happy with the Tyr2 Ic. Much warmer/weightier and more liquid sounding than the original Frey. I had the Cardas Neutral Ref for about a year before getting the Original Frey. The NR to me lacked the highs and lows but did have a... 
any reviews Nordost norse 2 lineup?
Comparing the original to the series 2 is the series 2 is warmer more liquid sounding than the originals. Some say they sound like they have more 'weight'. I just upgraded my original Frey Ic to the Tyr2 and kept my original Frey Sc.You just got t... 
nordost heimdall speaker cable
The Heimdall Series 1 does not sugar coat anything, if you system has some edge, that will show through. I have read that the Series 2 are a bit more forgiving.Agreed +1 - Did an in home demo and the Series 2 are also more liquid and warmer soundi... 
nordost heimdall speaker cable
When I hear a little edge to the highs with my Frey SC I give them a wipe down with Eco3. Any antistatic spray should also work. 
Taking care of lacquer wood finishes
Well I must have a good lacquer because I got my speakers in 11-11 and have put 4 coats of wax on them with no problems as far as looks or swirls. Yes out of the 5 pairs of signatures that came to the USA in the first shipment I got 1 pair 4 days ... 
Nordost Frey series 1 or Heimdall series 2?
I demoed them for several weeks and the difference is quite huge. I again have to say they have more weight to the sound. As you may have read in previous posts a lot of folks always considered Nordost to be 'thin' sounding. Not with the Series 2. 
Taking care of lacquer wood finishes
Hevac1 - I took this off Dynaudio's web siteThe Confidence Signature models are offered in either dark-brown Mocca or dark-red Bordeaux finishes. Each begins with a BirdÂ’s Eye Maple natural wood veneer, which is stained Mocca or Bordeaux and then ... 
Taking care of lacquer wood finishes
Hevac1 - What is the difference between high gloss clear coat and lacquer? Can a clear coat be lacquer? 
Nordost Frey series 1 or Heimdall series 2?
If you want a warmer/weightier sounding cable go for the series 2. Actually the Heimdall 2 to me sounds better than the original Frey's. 
Taking care of lacquer wood finishes
It has no swirl marks. I even use a microfiber cloth. The Turtle wax was recommended by the Dynaudio rep. But I do have a Mocha finish and not a piano black so if there are marks I can't see them even in the direct sunlight. I've used the Meguires...
