Taking care of lacquer wood finishes
I use Meguires Next Tech 2 wax on my Dyn C1 signatures. Liquid Ice from Turtle wax was also recommended. Leaves no swirl marks. 
SuperConductor 3 Cables?
Forgot to mention when I auditioned the SC3's I was comparing to Nordost Frey and Vahalla. I also brought them over to my local Nordost dealers system so I did compare them in two different rooms and systems. Again it was only the lowest of the lo... 
SuperConductor 3 Cables?
I've tried the speaker cable and it very good but very stiff. My only objection was the lowest of low notes were very muddy. The mids and the highs were very uncolored otherwise. 
Where do you go after a Dynaudio C1 ?
I had C1's for a couple of years. The comments about the new version performing better at low volume are very interesting. What changes did they make that resulted in that outcome, do you suppose? I was told by the Dynaudio sales rep that they mad... 
Where do you go after a Dynaudio C1 ?
I think that the C1 offers a lot for it's size and can be "hi fi" sounding or relaxed given the upstream components and it is certainly the more forgiving of the 2. C1 does sound terrible at low volume and I had some serious gear behind them. Cra...

Dynaudio c1 vs dynaudio c4
Yes the C4 is a much better speaker in my opinion. That being said your room will make or break how well they will sound. I too have C1's and considered upgrading to C2's. My room is 3m X 8m. Unfortunately I can only have the speakers on the 8m wa... 
Nordost Norse 2 Speaker Cables + Interconnects
I just placed my order for the Tyr2 IC's. It was a tough choice between upgrading my original Frey's IC and SC. I like the sound from the Tyr2 IC more than the Frey2 SC. Of course both sound the best but I can only afford 1 upgrade at the present ... 
Dynaudio c1 confidence vs virgo 25 anniversary
I want a new and better speakerBetter in what way? What do you find lacking with your C1's?Are your C1's original or the MKII/Sig version? I ask because I originally owned the C1's and upgraded to the Signatures. Unlike the originals the MKII/Sig ... 
Nordost Norse 2 Speaker Cables + Interconnects
My Nordost dealer told me that they went back to the moon glo connectors for better sound. Not sure if that is the real reason or cost. Nordost also discontinued bi-wire speaker cables (something about a phase-shift). 
Nordost Quattro Fil is still good
You should really give the Nordost Series2 a try. Quite different than the original Norse series. Note the Tyr2 has been added to the Norse Series. Much warmer and more 'liquid' sounding than the originals. 
Cables for Dynaudio C1 Sig
Great speaker.Bundy No it's a fantastic speaker. As far as the difference between the MKI & MKII is upgraded internal wiring - crossover and a new doping for the Esotar2 tweeter. Signature doubled the warranty and put a real nice finish on the... 
Does Dynaudio match Mcintosh MC275?
They should sound great. I'm driving a pair of C1 Signatures with and Octave V70se tube integrated. Great match for the money. I even tried tried an Octave V40se with the C1's and that was is also a great match. Tubes in my opinion have a great sy... 
Nordost Norse 2 Speaker Cables + Interconnects
I've experienced the same too. As an original Frey Ic and Sc owner I have the demo case and found something else very interesting. My system is an Octave V70SE tube integrated driving Dynaudio C1 Signature speakers with a Meridian G08 source. I al... 
El34 vs. KT88
I have SED EL34's - 6550's and KT88's. The EL34's have that great mid range magic that is hard to beat but lacks lows - highs and power. The KT88 has a world more bass and a little more in the highs. The 6550 on the other hand is extremely linear ...
