| Speaker cables for B&W?? "Any other suggestions welcome as well before I run to BB forsome Audioquest cables. :o)"That's not a bad idea. If you don't like them, you can always bring them back. Just don't take any advice from anyone that works there. | |
| Do I need to re-rip? Thanks Steve. Honestly, I give the credit for me being right to you and a couple of other posters who have been very helpful. | |
| Speaker cables for B&W?? With B&W, you have to be careful with the highs. Audioquest would be a good choice. I would consider: 2 separate runs of Type 6 or 8, a single run of internal bi wire CV-6 or 8, or possibly Rocket 33 - single run, internal bi wire. The CV-8 wo... | |
| Do I need to re-rip? If it were my choice I would re rip everything. The reason is that iTunes is probably not the best ripping software you can use. You would be converting files that were ripped under less than ideal circumstances. I would do new rips directly to WA... | |

| 5.1 under 4k? You need to provide a little more info as to what you expect from the speakers and some examples of what you have already heard. There are so many options in your price range, any responses would just be random guessing. | |
| Amp with best bass control "My K brand has the most wonderful highs you could ever imagine!"Are you sure about that? I can imagine some pretty exceptional highs. | |
| Power cable for Ayre QB9 I would just use the stock cable. | |
| Solid State Preamps The balance control is going to be difficult. Also, what kind of preamp do you have now? Maybe you can try some different tubes.That said, if it must go I would consider an Ayre K-5 or possibly a used K-1. BAT's SS preamps are very nice as well. | |
| Spectral with Transparent Cabling It will probably be OK. I've used other brands of cables with Spectral and had no problems. I would call the Cable Co. and see what they think. If anyone can answer your question, it would be them. |
