| i need 20 meter speaker wire, decent quality Ocos speaker cable is supposed to be made for long runs. It's distributed by Dynaudio. | |
| Int. amp for Dynaudio Focus 140 speakers Put the Naim Supernait on your list. For Dyn's you want good quality current not necessarily watts. The Supernait sounded great with my C1's. Came to a 1/2 hair of buying that when I heard the Octave V70SE. Quite a bit more $$ for the Octave thoug... | |
| Quad 12L Actives & REL Q108 Sub In response to your sub setup question even though I have never heard the Quads I don't think the speaker brand matters. Some things I've encountered with my Rel. For me I have the crossover set to just below the low limit of my speakers. The low ... | |
| Mixing different brand cables a good idea or not? Some but not all companies can make a great top to bottom line up. So I do agree with both above posts. Personally I think SR is one of the best out there (no I have never heard SR but reading the reviews and friends experiences with them they hav... | |
| Slam possible with Tubes instead of SS ?? Blueskiespbd - I would look into some better speakers before an amp personally. I just got an Octave V70se (70w@4ohm) integrated to replace my Bryston B100 (180w@4ohm)and it kicks the snot out of the Bryston. That being said I bought the B100 befo... | |
| How long do you wait for a check to clear I use 2 different banks. With 1 I can see on line when it clears and with the other I just have to look at my balance and when it changes. Maybe it's just me but I can't believe the bank can't tell you when it cleared.That being said I can say I h... | |
| RCA to XLR adapters? First the XLR output/input voltage is twice that of rca. Second XLR uses differential op amps to cancel noise where rca does not have that feature. Will it work?? YES it will but you will not get all the benefits that XLR has to offer. Remember th... | |
| Naim or Octave with Dynaudio Confidence C1 Handsomeck - Where are you located? Your Dyn dealer could contact Dynaudio and ask for an Octave demo. They have been known for doing that. If I'm not mistaken Octave has only been in the USA for about 2 years. I also have the V70SE which I got ju... | |
| Naim or Octave with Dynaudio Confidence C1 I have the meridian G08 cd player. The Naim stuff has incredible prat. I personally think the Octave has just as much prat but a little more oomph. Sonically the KT88's are very warm sounding with a little extra in the bottom end (it's amazing how... | |
| Naim or Octave with Dynaudio Confidence C1 My dealer is in a suburb of Chicago (Bartlett Il 60103) | |
| Naim or Octave with Dynaudio Confidence C1 It was the supernait I compared to not separates. The black box adds 4X capacitance (super black box is 10X) which really lowers the noise floor and adds authority/control to the music. Kind of the same as Naims flatcap/supercap/hicap etc. As far ... | |
| Naim or Octave with Dynaudio Confidence C1 Go for the Octave with black box. I am a C1 and Octave V70se owner. My local dealer has both Naim and Octave and in my opinion the Octave sounds better. | |
| AVR 300 Powers up, 8 seconds, powers off The bulging cap is most likely the reason for shutting down. Try replacing it if you feel comfortable with doing so. The discoloration is from it getting too hot. I would also stop trying to power it up before any additional damage could be done i... | |
| Amp Suggestions for Harbeth C7es3 Personally I think you may want to try some better interconnects (not knowing what you may be using). I just switched to some Nordost Frey ic's got a much nicer soundstage and imaging. Definitely more air between the instruments and vocals. I also... | |
| Dual mono tube integrateds I just got me first tube integrated a few weeks ago and can't recommend anything in your price range (lack of experience) but will say look for one that has a good output tube protection circuit. I've had mine 10 weeks and have 2 different type tu... |
