| Speaker suggestion for Pass Labs Int-150 Try a pair of Vandersteen Model 1's. They work very well with the Pass and should sound quite a bit better than what you currently have. They're even heavy and come with they're own stands. | |
| Cable Evolution I have about $25,000 into my speaker cables. I bought a spool of Monster's finest, and then went to Antarctica and hand cryoed them myself. The results are stunning. I'm planning another trip to do my IC's. | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade After reading your comments on the type of sound you're getting, I can't help but think that you may like the 3's better with a 2nd V-5, instead of a speaker upgrade. | |
| oppo 105d mod or look for a new cd player ? "07-24-15: MechansI personally think the industry pulled a fast one on us with the idea of using stand alone dacs."Actually, you can make a pretty good case for the opposite. If you remember when CD's were starting to get popular in the late 80's ... | |
| 2 Channel In Ceiling System Maybe he's laying on a bed or sitting in a recliner. Ceiling speakers would make perfect sense. | |
| Vandersteen Treo vs 3A Sig as upgrade You could start by pissing off Shakey. His posts are really fun to read when he's mad. | |
| Sony ES vs Rotel "07-23-15: Mkash3Has anyone compared Sony's new HAP-Z1ES network audio player to any of the latest Rotel CD players (RCD-1072, RCD-1570)?I'm curious to see how they stack up in a direct comparison."I would say don't sell a 1072 until you have a di... | |
| Paypal insecure? "07-24-15: Sbank"Believe me, a call to the seller from your local police department will get the seller's attention." Not so much!"Where I live, police don't even look for stolen cars, let alone some overpriced cables. | |
| tube amp and spotify For myself, I was thinking about getting the Parasound. It has a volume control and doesn't need any drivers, so it can be used with Win, Mac or Linux. For internet streaming, it should work very well. | |
| oppo 105d mod or look for a new cd player ? I like the Ayre AX-7. If you can find a Wadia 302, that's another good one. | |
| Has anyone tried the new Shunyata Venom MPC-12? Its very expensive. I wouldn't buy it unless I heard it in my system. You may be able to get a large portion of what the MPC-12 can do buy going with some JPS digital AC power cords. They build a filter in to the cables them selves. I have some an... | |
| Paypal insecure? I had $5000 in my Paypal account and they somehow managed to loose it. It just vanished. I didn't even make a transaction. When I asked them what happened to my money, they said that they have no idea. The only thing they knew for sure is that it ... | |
| Golden Ear Triton 2 amp preferences? As long as you're not underpowered, I would get a preamp instead. It should make a bigger difference in your system than a new amp. If you're working with a dealer, see if they will lend you some preamps. | |
| Paypal insecure? Paypal's great until you have a problem. Then they suck. When there's a problem, the only thing they care about is showing you that no matter what happened, its not their fault. The people that work there are nasty and arrogant. So much so, that i... | |
| power amp watt range is for the Proac Response 2.5 I had a pair of 2.5's. They're not difficult speakers to drive. The amps I used were, Pass Aleph 0s (40x2), VAC 30/30 (32x2), ARC VT 100 (100x2) and a Rowland 112 (150x2). They were all very good, but I think the VAC was the best one. I didn't hav... |
