| Arcam, Cambridge Audio or Sony: Most musical?? Why those 3 players? | |
| Cables more hype than value? A little crazy? You're just being modest."all of the members have been talking to each other a long time, and it seems at times they do not like someone new!"Too bad. You have every right to post, just like they did when they were new members. | |
| Power conditioning / surge protection Ptss,"Hi Zd542. It has been observed that some products have protected against "direct hits"."Maybe. The question I have, though, is how do you really know is its a direct hit or not? Is there some way to tell? | |
| Need a very neutral interconnect- Copper Audioquest sounds great with just about anything. Their silver cables are good too but the results can vary. Purist 20th is not that neutral. I would also look at Kimber Select and Tara. You would probably like them as well. If you call The... | |
| Monitor close to the wall to replace Allison 4s I'm not a big fan of Naim overall, but I had a chance to hear a small pair of speakers they make. I think it was the nsat or something similar. They sound pretty good and you can put them close to the wall. I also heard a small floor stander from ... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Audiolabyrinth,I didn't take you the wrong way. I've read too many of your posts to know you are nothing other than a good guy. I know what you are saying about the insults; I don't like them either. Computeraudiophile is like a good sport. Its fu... | |
| A system for rock and dance Your 805's are small speakers. It may be better to get something full range. | |
| Cables more hype than value? Audiolabyrinth,I thought the Rokhead was bad. Don't take this the wrong way, but it just might be time for you to take your meds. Or maybe you should stop taking them. Or get different ones. Or something.I should have mentioned this before, but yo... | |
| Bookshelf or Tower What do you like and dislike about the speakers that you now have? You mention wanting a bigger sound but that can mean different things. Are you talking about something image size, or something similar? | |
| Power conditioning / surge protection "That is correct.If a company says their SPD will protect your audio equipment from a direct lightning strike I suggest reading the small fine print."Thats a good point too. Making a line conditioner that can't hold up to a lightning strike is not... | |
| Turntable Swamp. . .what to buy? You can't go wrong with any of the TT's you are considering. That said, I say get a VPI Scout. The price is excellent for what you get and the upgrades are excellent as well. You should never need another TT. There's nothing wrong with the arm, ei... | |
| Power conditioning / surge protection As far as I know, the only product I know of that protects against a direct lightning strike is a homeowners insurance policy. I was surprised to find this out myself, but I checked with several very good sources and they all gave me the exact sam... | |
| Bookshelf or Tower If you have the room for it, a pair of Vandersteen Model 2's and a pair of Vandersteen subs. "I am considering: Paradigm S2's, BW 805d but then I think at those price levels I could get floorstanders but I don't see why the floorstanders cost so m... | |
| Preamp for Pass Labs X150.5 or X250.5 I've owned several Pass amps and preamps myself. I likes the amps very much but not the preamps. If it were me, I would keep your cd player and put all the money towards the best preamp you can. The M6 is a great player. Getting a better preamp wi... | |
| Power conditioning / surge protection "For Drr and Tbromgard - what are the benefits of plugging your power amps directly into the wall??"I plug my amps into the wall, as well. I'm not an expert on line conditioners, but the biggest reason for most people is to not limit the power out... |
