| Crazy Cardas? The Cable Company has a listening room/system set up with the Cardas formula. If you gave them a call, I'm sure they could tell you if you have it worked out properly for your system. | |
| Any experience using MIT's Oracle AClll? "the wow Factory is a direct connection with the price tag in Audiophilia."Don't take this the wrong way, but one of the biggest problems with high end audio is extreme subjective judgment. How do we know that the above quote is a true statement? ... | |
| how much did you ever spend on a cable? About 4k for a pair of speaker cables. I tried fixing a problem with cables once and that cost about 50k. | |
| Pass Aleph P vs BAT VK20? Have VK60 and Aleph 0... I don't like Pass preamps. They have a lifeless sound to them. I haven't heard some of their newer preamps, so I don't know about those models. Also, I had both amps that you have, only I had the 0 monos, not the stereo. But they sound very close.... | |

| Which main power cord? "09-19-14: StringreenRichard Gray stuff ruined the sound of my system....I couldn't get it out fast enough."Ayre designs their products to be used with the stock PC. I tried quite a few PC's on my Ayre components and found the stock cable was the ... | |

Since both speakers will get the exact same signal, it will be like playing a mono recording and will have a very strong center image. I like that way ... | |
| Best Amp for $300 to Power Paradigm Monitor 9s "I liked Muse Model 3 preamp, but never tried amp."The bass is very good. Its a fairly clean sounding amp but the highs can be a little grainy. But not really harsh or bright. Its kind of like the bit of roughness you can sometimes get with a stra... | |
| Voice and instrument image bunched in the middle?? "Perhaps call your preamp manufacturer and ask them if your unit emits "phase correct" or "phase inverted"."That's not the problem here. First, the difference is very subtle. Even if you have a preamp or source that allows you to change absolute p... | |
| Good cheap tape deck for ripping? Are you ripping to a PC or just recording to another cassette directly? | |
| Voice and instrument image bunched in the middle?? "1)A contributor to the lack of focus, especially if it primarily has a vertical orientation, may simply be that the six foot listening distance is not enough for the drivers to blend properly. As you indicated, though, that is not the major issue... | |
| PS Audio XStream biwire, what are they worth? "09-17-14: CzariveyI love poker, but I hate high-priced cables. They never justify their performance per price and only designed to 'trim' your wallet size. There's never been anyany successfull blind A/B test vs. zip cord with anyone so selling t... | |
| Best Amp for $300 to Power Paradigm Monitor 9s Wolf_garcia is right about the fan. You can hear it, but I don't think its too noisy. One thing worth mentioning about me is that I can't listen to music in a room that is dead silent. I find that its just not natural. I know that most audiophiles... | |
| Voice and instrument image bunched in the middle?? The easiest way to check if the problem is coming from the room, is to just try the system in different room and see if you get the same results. Then you'll know for sure. If it does sound the same, I would try swapping out your components one at... |
