| speakers to audition with pass labs / PAD cabling I wouldn't base my choice of speaker on what type of cables you have. If you do a good job matching your components, you won't need to get expensive cables. I've owned speakers from both Wilson and Magnepan and they were OK. Actually, I still have... | |
| In defense of ABX testing "LOL, but doctors in that time period of history didn't know any better."That was my point. The only thing they knew for sure about blood was that if you loose too much of it, you die. Armed with only that info, I stand by my statement. lol. Maybe... | |
| Difference in B&W sound "01-21-15: StringreenI had a top of the line model (don't remember what). I got them on a wim when first wife passed...anyway, they were very disappointing...changed to top of Vandersteen line. Smiles."I had top of the line B&W's too, but I do... | |
| Preamp for monoblock BAT amps Something from BAT would be a logical choice. Ayre K1, Aesthetix, and maybe the ARC that Hansk46 mentions, but if you can't audition it first, I would pass on it. | |
| Upgrade from Proac Response 1SC? DeVore makes a very nice small speaker. If you like the ProAc's, you should like them as well. | |
| mClassical Music Software for Macs Sometimes, its just easier to use your file system, espically if you have a lot of wav files that can't be tabbed. If you want to use playback software with library features, I find panned browsing to be the best way to go. Here's some free player... | |
| Difference in B&W sound "Anyone else have any suggestions?"Actually, I forgot to mention in my first post that B&W speakers are known for the screws to loosen up over time. It would probably be a good idea to over all of your speakers and make sure everything is tight. | |
| What's your experience with fine phono preamp s ? Given the cost of the products that you are looking at, and your sonic expectations, I think it would be best to work with a dealer on this. There's just too many variables and everything has to work together. I know that you may say you have a lo... | |
| Best isolation cones "Isolation if it were possible would have no descriptive adjective attached.Tom "Of course. If isolation were possible, we wouldn't even be talking about it. | |
| Best speaker Cable matching Wilson Audio Sasha "01-20-15: Bo1972So he exists!!"Yes. And by the looks of it, he needs a teacher. It's up to you Bo. Make an audiophile out of him; nothing less than full 3D. | |
| Best Preamp for me As long as you are not looking to fix any problems with the upgrade (a good thing in my opinion), then here's a few recommendations.Solid State: Ayre K5, an ML to match your amp, and maybe a Rowland or McIntosh SS, but with either of those you'll ... | |
| Behold Gentle G192 Media Player If you guys like it so much why get rid of it? Also, what's the point of starting a thread about it. | |
| Infinity Primus P363 TAS review To be fair, I don't think I've ever seen a pair of high end JBL speakers on display in any audio store. I suspect that the main reason that most people don't talk much about them is lack of exposure. I could be mistaken, but if I recall correctly,... | |
| In defense of ABX testing "01-20-15: Jea48Back in the medieval days was it science or logic for the times when doctors used to bleed a patient saying the patient had too much blood?"Neither. It was stupidity. They has no way of knowing how much blood was too much blood. Th... | |
| Best isolation cones You need to try a bunch of different cones. They don't all sound the same. Sometimes you get lucky and they don't make any difference at all. Regardless, I use Cable Company for this. They sent me a whole assortment of cones to try first. I ended ... |
