| Help with upgrading Pre Amp HI Larry - Take a look at the Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme. It is an amazing pre with tubes ( long tube life), a green power supply, XLR and RCA ins and outs, the most clever home theater by-pass ever, and WONDERFUL tonality and presentation of sp... | |
| Transparent speakercables compared to rest Since no one else wants to get in and help, I thought that I might. The best match between your amp and speakers is Purist Audio Design. You should be able to get either the Genesis or the Muses models for your budget and will be more than satis... | |
| SR speaker cables HI Jane- nice pseudonym.... You will find the Tungsten Element cables a bit on the laid back side of things - not rolled off, just a relaxed presentation. The CTS cables will by hugely dynamic and have good leading edge transient attack. Both w... | |
| Why does my system now have shrill top end. OCOS cables are pretty old ( around 1997 or so). If I remember correctly, they were designed with OCOS standard terminators (Red), but when used with dome tweeters or a speaker with a rising impedance curve, they needed to have the HFC (Black - n... | |
| Is tonearm cable the most important cable in the system ? Leeds - I wonder.... where exactly would you get a seperate ground reference for left and right channels in order to run a "truly balanced" XLR cable from a phono cartridge that has only 4 pins (left/right +/- )???? Stereo Phono cartridges are IN... | |
| HDMI cable for I2S Cooper - PS Audio includes a VERY good HDMI cable for I2S with either the Memory Player or the DSD ( I don't remember which), but they do not list it for sale. Since you have been in contact with PS Audio, I would contact them again, thank them ... | |
| Preferred AES/EBU 110 ohm digital 1.5 meter cables you recommend I will second the Acoustic Zen MC2=Zen AES/EBU cable for your application. It is the one used by a lot of reviewers and has been a steady performer in this arena for 10 years - high performance/high value! | |
| Low noise, neutral, high current power cord for wall to power distributor Inna- the PS Audio Premier is an AMPLIFIER, not a front end component, so getting an better, high current capable power cord is going to give you a high level of improvement in performance. I would strongly consider the PS Audio PW-12 power cord ... | |
| recommendation on power conditioner for mc452 HI Ei - since all that you are looking for is protection, I would get an electrician to install a whole house surge protection system rather than utilize the conditioners you are interested in. The Shunyata does not have surge protection ( it is ... | |
| Can somebody explain the XLO scale to me? I was at Capital myself 2 years ago - they people you saw were the distributors of XLO. I have NO idea and can find no information as to where the current XLO cables are produced and by whom. Anybody know? | |
| Shindo Labs Amps and Preamps You might also want to consider Doshi amp/pre, another very good boutique, hand-made wonderful amplifier that will not break the bank, merely crack it! Good Luck! | |
| VPI phono cables. Is there better synergy? Bshappard - why not complete your loom with the Audience phono cables? They are very neutral, fast, and should work well with the rest of your signal cables. Just my 2 cents... | |
| best tube integrated under $5000 ? I would also give a listen to the Rogers 65 V-1 - very realistic sounding and built to last. msrp is $3995. Oh yeah - LIFETIME warranty is also a plus. Good Luck! | |
| Shunyata KING COBRA VX V1 `i` - thoughts on this power cord HI Gare - I would contact Grant at Shunyata about this one. I do NOT recall an i series King Cobra model and I would be a little concerned. Better off checking it out. Good Luck | |
| Y adapter beneficial for sub cable? HI Asa- it depends on the sub you p[lan on using. Personally, I would use a REL sub which is easy to integrate into the system and runs off the amplifier terminal. With a low level (RCA/XLR input) sub, if it is a stereo input sub, you are in gre... |
