| Where to buy Rotel products? Audio Video Logic carries Rotel. If you don’t have a local dealer they will work with you. | |
| What would be good preamp to run McCormick dna1 Agree with a Tube Preamp, but not a lean sounding one that sounds like SS. With the DNA 1 w/MG3a’s you need a preamp to wake things up. Plenty nice affordable preamps out there and I bring it up every time because for the money I still think it’s ... | |
| Where do cables upgrades have the most impact? Agree with power cable as I feel the power supply of any component is what makes a great component. That’s where it starts; they all make a difference but it starts at the source which is the P.S. | |
| Seeking information I’ve personally not heard the Kimber 12tc but know and have owned the 8 and 4tc. I own but don’t use currently a set of Clear Day Cables Double Shotguns and I feel they are in another league at least to my ears. Problem is I don’t believe Paul is ... | |
| Klyne + Aleph 5 I have several pairs of Canare star quad I use for mic cables. I love how flexible this cable is, comes in many colors and it’s affordable. For the fun of it I threw some on my system to hear how they compare to either my Clear Days or Wywires - a... | |
| Aerial 7B amp recommendations @n80 If your cables are a biwire set as you mentioned you don’t use jumpers. A lot of people prefer to use a single run meaning amp and speaker end has only one set +/- and then use jumpers at the speakers. In your case make sure the metal jumper ... | |
| Aerial 7B amp recommendations I run my 7Bs with a Pass X250 and have used various other amps from 100, 150 and currently 250 wpc. Why experience with each jump up in power the 7Bs open up more and everything improves across the board. If you enjoy how they sound with your curr... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need I’ve been following this thread since the beginning and have been sitting on the sidelines questioning myself if I should participate or not. I am not a EE nor do I play one on TV but I like many here have been in this hobby most of my life. I’ve ... | |
| Speaker Cables There’s a member on this forum that if you tell him your amp, speakers and how long you need for cables has a secret formula and will tell you what you need. My guess is you need 0 gauge AWG copper cables. The brand doesn’t matter, but keep them r... | |
| recommendation for speaker wire to soften the highs if possible If you have a local HiFi store why not start with them and drag some cables home to listen for yourself how your Monsters compare? I think many shops are more than willing to let customers take stuff home to try it before you buy. If you’re nowher... | |
| Kenwood KA-8100 integrated Amp I can’t speak for your amp but I have owned the LS7 and I would start with that first. I found the LS7 to be lifeless and really didn’t shine anywhere and I tried NOS tubes. ARC knew this pre wasn’t competitive and probably has the shortest lifes... | |
| Trouble Contacting Clear Day Cables Been sometime since I have spoken with Paul unfortunately. As mentioned above by others, Paul is a great guy with a big heart and the world could use a lot more people like him that's for sure. Being a Christian It didn't take long to figure out P... | |
| Krell iBias or Mark Levinson 533/535H series amplifiers with Aerial Acoustics Speakers? Very happy with my Pass X250 with my 7B’s. Had a X250.5 at home as a demo and definitely a little more refined but not by much. Look at Pass. | |
| All Quiet on the Oppo front? My UDP-205 is on its way. FedEx says I should have it 09.19.18. Can’t wait to receive this and see how it holds up against my Cambridge 851C which I think is a great player for the money. I’ll be surprised for audio if the Oppo is as good but we’l... | |
| Revel f 228 Be first impressions? Heard them today and thought they sounded very nice. Local store just got them in and said they only have about ten hours on them which surprised me for what I heard. Very clean on top which I was expecting to be hard and sterile but not. Top end ... |
