| Merlin Owners... I use Virtual Dynamics "Master" bi-wire and have never heard better. I've tried Cardas Golden Cross, Analysis Plus, and the V.D. Audition. They're cumbersome to work with, but once in place that's irrelevant. Better everything! Unfortunately, I'm ... | |
| Couple of questions on the Merlin VSM speakers... Budrew, I too bought the VSM's based only on extensive research here on Agon and everywhere else I could find some info. You'll discover (as I did) that this speaker system is one of the true gems to be found in the audio world. It accomadates any... | |
| Von Schweikert VR2 Jim, I agree with Oz. I've been through many different cables and they all have various characteristics. It's true that a certain level of system resolution is required to identify different sonic signatures in anything interchanged. It's also tru... | |
| Desperately seeking the elusive tube sound Clueless, Very interesting link! Have you actually tried this stuff? On what components and what is your observation? I can't believe that I'm actually even curious about such snake oil! Has anyone else tried this stuff? I have a Cary 306/200 and ... | |
| Diffusors vs. absorbers room treatment Heeengky, Absorbers and diffusers are not the same thing. They are as there names imply. Typically, absorbers should be placed at first points of reflection. Side and back walls are the rule of thumb (even ceiling). Diffusers are usually behind th... | |
| Spade ID size for Musical Fidelity A3CR amp? Socrates, I agree with you as I have tried it when I first got this amp. Made me nervous to have such minimal contact. Clearly looked less than adequate to me. It is a weak connection that you can't really torque down very well. I found that the n... | |
| So BAT is making a pre/pro? Mdomnick, Thanks for pointing that out. How did I miss it? Must have had my head stuck in my bleep!? The white paper reads like the S.O.A. I will be very interested in the look and price of this unit. I currently have a Marantz SR-19 piping the fr... | |
| So BAT is making a pre/pro? Mdomnick, I too want to have the best of both worlds in one box. I have limited space and must combine all in one system. Could you LMK where you found the info on the BAT pre/pro? I'd like to check it out. The BAT web-site has no info on it yet. ... | |
| Cary 303; Removing the feet Jimmymac, I have owned the Cary 306/100 and now own the 306/200. The footers on these Cary units are a bit suspect considering the quality of the unit itself. With the old unit I had the Symposium Rollerblocks. This set up can be done without remo... | |
| LISTENER Magazine...What Do You Think? I subscribed for 1 year and thought much the same as Jond. In particular I also thought they were biased toward the low power tube stuff and analog sourcing. I saw the issue where everyone wrote about record cleaning and threw the rag in disgust! ... | |
| FIM vs. PSA powerport vs. Anything else? Thanks to all who responded. I will be using the JPS In-Wall from the box and connect to the FIM 880's. Fortunately, I have a short run! A fellow A'gon member had 2 FIM's that didn't suit him. I figure they will be the right choice because of the ... | |
| Dedicated AC lines??? Thank you all for your inputs! I have read the archives A to Z and gotten much useful info. | |
| Jazz with less horns?? If your roots are in 70's & 80's rock, you might enjoy Fourplay. I'd also suggest Fattburger, Norman Brown, George Duke (after hours), Keiko Matsui, Peter Horvath, and I like the softer horn sound of Chris Botti ...just a few I like. Sade is f... | |
| Musical Fidelity A3cr Power Amp ?Break-in Period? Platsolos, I politely tried to suggest that the major source of your trouble is most likely your CDP. After reading your last post I'm convinced. Yes, the MF is a very revealing amp that will show upstream characteristics. I'm confident that repla... | |
| Musical Fidelity A3cr Power Amp ?Break-in Period? Platsolos, Being as you're not trying to break-in the speakers, you don't need to have it loud. I'd keep the speakers connected and maintain a signal flow from any source i.e. CD, tuner, etc. Your objective is to just keep the amp warm and juice r... |
