| System advice I got very good results using MA Silver RX8's and Vandersteen 1C's with my 5350. Can't see you going wrong with either of those. | |
| Simaudio 870a over Krell 402e? What do you like about the Sim over the krell? I'm just curious and not saying you made a bad choice. Sim makes excellent equipment. Also, what kind of speakers do your have? | |
| synergistic research's element copper "My concern is that this will turn out to be more snake oil and is actually tricking my mind into thinking it’s better. I wish I could find some more folks who have tried them."If you can't decide as to weather or not you like the cables, I would ... | |
| Have Good DAC, Will This Work A Transport? I used to have the 9000ES. It was an OK unit. The only problem I had with it was that it made all of my other sources sound bad when it was plugged in. I was able to correct the problem with a JPS Digital AC power cord plugged into a line conditio... | |
| VSi60 Tube Amp Startup Power Needs Bifwynne really gives an excellent answer. Very good advice. The only thing I can think to add is, do you notice a difference in sound quality when the other appliances in your house turn on? That's what would motivate me to make changes (at least... | |
| Any truth to keeping the retail prices the same ? "01-20-14: RaksMy $15,000 MSRP Wilson Duette speakers are driven by my Theta Intrepid 5 channel amp that sells new for $1,700 and my system never sounded better."Theta amps are very underrated. Are you using more than 2 channels? I don't recall an... | |
| Any truth to keeping the retail prices the same ? "does it make any sonic sense and there truth to it ????"No. Focus on sound quality and how well the components work together, not price. Sometimes it works out that everything is close in price, and sometimes there is a big difference. Also, the ... | |
| Simaudio 870a over Krell 402e? I wouldn't be so fast to get rid of all your Krell components. I've always found Krell's digital products to be lacking. No so with their other components. | |
| A comparison Vandersteen 5A-Coincident PRE "hummmm....no comments??"Probably because both speakers are fairly expensive and you will really need to listen to them both before making a choice. Also, its not likely that you would find someone that heard both speakers in the same room, at the... | |
| How Do I Delete Low Bit Rate Songs From My Library "A kiss on the cheek would probably suffice"Not for me. And while we are on the topic, anyone I told to kiss my ass, I apologize and take it back. I don't want those either. | |
| Need a warm amp for bright speakers "NAD and Audioquest cabling should help out for sure."Why? | |
| Fake Audioquest sky cables They are probably fake, but a couple of things come to mind. The first is are you sure the cables were fully broken in? Also, they may be in between real and fake. Sometimes when a dealer has long runs of expensive cables, they cut them into small... | |
| Manufacturer speaker power recommendations "Using ie. 300/400w amp doesn't damage speaker, does it?"It depends. It doesn't really matter how powerful the amp is as long you keep the volume to whatever your speakers can handle. Just use common sense when adjusting volume. If you hear someth... | |
| Backup SACDs with PS3 Playstation 3 I'm pretty sure I saw instructions on how to do this at computeraudiophile.com | |
| Shopping for an integrated amp An Ayre AX-7 would be a big upgrade from what you have now. If you needed a lot of power the MF would be an OK choice. For SQ though, I feel the Ayre is much better. The new MF gear made outside the UK just doesn't sound like their old stuff. Your... |
