| Recommendations for CL rated speaker cable I've used Monitor Audio with Audioquest and got great results. AQ uses very good shielding. If you can find some Type 6 or 8 you'll have some really well made, good sounding cables, without spending a fortune. I've used 8TC. Its a great cable, but... | |
| Sony HAP 1 ES and adding external Hard Drives Thanks Al. I didn't know that ntfs was a journaling file system. I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that it wasn't, but I'm glad I was wrong. As far as Win 8 goes, I hate the interface. I just don't know what MS was thinking. There's a free pro... | |
| Preamp recommendations for under $600.00 At that price, I would use a passive unit or a source that has a volume control. | |
| Sony HAP 1 ES and adding external Hard Drives Al,Maybe you can give me some thoughts on how you would proceed on this. I've been using Linux as my main OS for the last couple of years and like it very much. After reading some comments about people using Windows 8 find that it sounds better th... | |
| Refined integrated for extremely neutral speakers? Wlutke,You make a valid point. In this case, though, I can come up with a couple of reasons that tubes may not be the best choice. Price and music choice. For $1000, I'm having a hard time coming up with something that will suit needs. "I listen t... | |
| Problem with New System - Diagnosis Sought. It's not a bad post. You fixed your problem. You're not the first one to become the victim of a bad recording. | |
| Refined integrated for extremely neutral speakers? Try to find a good used Creek 5350. It does what you are asking for. | |
| Problem with New System - Diagnosis Sought. The first thing I would do is try a different pair of speakers that are known good. Assuming there is no damaged equipment, the problem is with the speakers. I've worked with several pairs and have owned the 802 S3's. They have the same setup for ... | |
| Sony HAP 1 ES and adding external Hard Drives "Also, I looked further at the descriptions of the Paragon ExtFS program I cited earlier. Assuming it works as advertised, it looks like it would be an excellent solution, allowing the drive to be removed from the HAP-Z1ES and connected to your co... | |
| Need "warm" interconnects advice What leads you to believe that getting new cables will fix your problem?"I'm looking for warmer, lusher, more romantic, "gold" type of sound - interconnects...It seems to me my system is a little bit too detailed and precise."I think you're asking... | |
| Marantz SR7007 and B&W Matris 803 You don't say, but I assume this problem happens with both pairs of speakers. Although the tweeter can be on the harsh side with your speakers, your case sounds extreme. If all 4 speakers have the same problem, the issue will most likely be with a... | |
| What can I expect, if anything going from a ma6500 I'm pretty sure your dac has its own volume control. If that's the case, I think you'll have a very nice upgrade going to the mc302. For 2 reasons. First, the 302 is probably a more powerful and a better sounding amp. Second, and more importantly,... | |
| Best 5 channel amp for Acoustic Zen Adagos It looks like your primary concern is sound quality. If that's the case, check out Ayre and Theta. Both make some extremely good multi channel amps. Definately not your typical theatre products. | |
| Revel F52 Speaker cable suggestions? The Cable Company keeps track of what cables people use on their speakers (After they demo and buy them). Revel is a very popular speaker. They should have hundreds of confirmed cable purchases to draw on. I've been using them for years and find t... | |
| Revel or Aerial "I started this thread in hopes of getting a sense of the best way forward. Studio 2s or Aerial 7s; stay with the F208s and improve the source/electronics? My goal is more detail/clarity. My priorities have always been soundstaging and imaging."If... |
