| HiDiamond Power cords... Kzhtoo, at about 250-300 hours you should notice a huge increase in midrange to bass extension and volume. I remember saying to myself "where the heck did that come from". I was pretty amazed how they have the levels of increased quality jumps. Th... | |
| Synergistic Research Tesla Plex SE ac receptacle I agree with Tonyptony, the Maestro seemed to be more natural than the S.R Teslaplex SE. The Teslaplex sounded liquid and vial compared to the Maestro. I haven't tried the Furutech GTX-R but have heard great things. | |
| how much did you spend on rear surround speakers? I have Casta Acoustic speakers with dipole surrounds. They are made in Italy with custom made horns and drivers throughout. The surrounds were very pricey but compared to the Axion Qs8's I used to have the Casta's improved the information by 40-50... | |
| Best Home Theater Processor Used 1K-3K Range Dawgbyte,I've sold my UMC-200 and in regards to the Xmc-1, there is no power rating. It is simply a multi channel pre/processor with no amplification. I have not purchased the xmc-1 as I am awaiting a custom server,outboard power supply, and high ... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Kzhtoo, I think whichever position you place the P4, when all is said you may have P4's on everything as I do. Your soundstage will expand with greater detail and depth, quieter background, extension and isolation. I couldn't imagine if say a P5 w... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Kzhtoo, I would start with the P4 on the amp as it's gauge should be better for your amplification. I am awaiting my P4 20 amp to have the 15 amp connector put back on as I had sold my EAD Powermaster 2000(20amp) and now use a Hybrid tube Integrat... | |
| Best Home Theater Processor Used 1K-3K Range I've done a comparison running an oppo 105 2.1/5.1 analogue. I sold it and bought the 103 and bought an Emotiva UMC-200 which had eq adjusting, better volume control, the XLR connections were killer compared to the RCA' s in the oppo 105. Overall ... | |
| moving on from Emotiva UMC-200 pre/processor I oppted for the Emotiva over the Oppo 105 as the analogue dacs sounded rather thin in the midrange/bass due to the high resolution and extension it has.The Emotiva beat it in 2/5 channel analogue hands down. Great eq-ing in the emotiva. Also, if ... | |
| Info on Gingko Cloud 10 & 11? Buy the new Sistrum Apprentice stands. Amazing reviews and good pricing...... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? I am awaiting some digital/analogue Shorties from high-end electronics. Supposedly they work extremely well and very cheap. They go into your unused analogue/digital connectors on your components. I have an Akiko Audio AC tuning plug plugged into ... | |
| synergistic research's element copper @Sabai, how do the David Elrods compare to the HD P3 or P4? | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers The designer, apparently his line of work was on submarines isolating the computer from the submarine. So resonance control for sure but compared to the Stillpoints, I did a 2 hour comparison back and forth with the Oritons and definitely the Orit... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers In relation to the stillpoint ultra SS's, I have done a direct comparison with the Ultras to a set of Oriton SC35's and preferred the Oritons. Increased resolution, well defined and tighter bass(not muddy), greater focus around vocals and instrume... | |
| Emotiva UMC-200 vs Primare SP31? I had an Emotiva UMC-200 and it was quite good. I found the calibration to be way off though for EQ'ing. I now use my Oppo 103 hdmi with extremely good video, but the analogue isn't great, awfull volume control. I am awaiting Emotivas XMC-1 proces... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Lak, me neither..... |
