| Where do audiophiles retire? "Where do audiophiles retire?" Its a trick question. Audiophiles can't retire. They spend all of their money on gear. Nothing left over for retirement. | |
| Need to hide cables Your current racks are pretty good. I think you may be able to work with them and not have to buy new. Here's 2 possible solutions for you. The first is to use the adjustments on your racks. If you are able to move the shelves up high enough, the ... | |
| Keep wife happy with Bluesound Vault with Ipad? It looks like you have both. If one is a Toslink, than the other one has to be AT&T (Sometimes it is called ST Type Glass). Its better than Toslink but is not widely used. | |
| 4 OHM or 8 OHM Speaker ...... All other things being equal, 8 OHM's is an easier load than 4. | |
| Creek audio evolution or nad c 326 bee? I would go with Creek but not the Evolution. I believe the 5350 sounds much better. | |
| Harbeth sound with high wife acceptance factor? How about a pair of Vandersteen 3's. I can't imagine anyone not liking the way those look. | |
| Need to hide cables When you say cable management features, what did you have in mind? Is it that you don't want to see the cables from your listening position or is the back of you current rack visible? Also, what kind of cables do you have? You may have to take int... | |
| Keep wife happy with Bluesound Vault with Ipad? "01-05-14: Roxy54Get a divorce."Great advice. But before you file, buy your equipment first and hide it a storage facility until its all over. Less assets for her to end up with.I had an 850 and don't remember it having a fibre optic connection. W... | |
| BAT VK-3iX vs ARC LS-15 You don't say what needs help. If I had to guess, given the components you list, I'd say the problem area is in the high frequencies. No preamp is going to make the aluminium tweeters in your 3.5's sound like a soft dome and no preamp will make yo... | |
| which amp to get? The 1062 is a great amp. Its probably just as good as most of what is within your budget. You'll have to be careful that you don't end up with something that's not an upgrade. In my opinion, a Creek 5350 would be a very nice upgrade. | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Were the TT's hooked up to any kind of speed control device? | |
| Speaker for nearfield listening? Getting new speakers may not be your only option. Your amp, preamp and sources play just as important a roll in how your system images. But it all depends on what kind of gear you currently have. | |
| Zen Crescendo or 5a...will they work in my room? Vandersteen is my favourite speaker so I recommend them, of course. The size of your room, however, does concern me. My best guess is that you will be OK. Vandersteen does allow for extensive placement options. If you are buying new, you shouldn't... | |
| Mapleshade Double Helix spker cable: Rating?? I hear good things overall about the Mapleshade cables when it comes to SQ. That said, I've read a few posts where people have had some build quality issues. For me, that would be an issue. Did you end up going with the Rogue? It looked like an ex... | |
| Furutech Evolution II Interconnects Using the Cable Co is a very good choice. I've been using them for years. I didn't like the Purist either. I have some Furutech power products and like them very much. Haven't heard their IC's but by looking at the design, it wouldn't surprise me ... |
