| Good speaker match 4 Rotel/Rega gear &small room? Try the Von Schweikert VR-1. Full bodied, yet detailed. They also sound great played through receivers such as the Rotel. They are never offensive or too bright.Enough bass to allow your prog rock to sound satisfying without the use of a subwoofer. | |
| Who makes good quality bananas ? Cool. I was just wondering. Sometimes people care more about the connectors that the wire. If the wire was inexpensive the comprssion bananas from Parts Express and Cardas work very well and are not expensive. Music Direct has the Cardas compressi... | |
| Who makes good quality bananas ? Try the Cardas also. But if you can use spades, forget about bananas unless this is for a jumper.Check out Parts Express for heat shrink, they have compression bananas also. What is the speaker wire you're using? The brand of banana may become a n... | |
| Help need to chose DAC I agree with the Audio Note. But if you don't want a tube DAC, try the Birdland DAC. Very smooth, detailed in a non-digital way. This is a musical DAC. | |
| Digital direction I wouldn't go external DAC under $1000, but if you decide to, look at a Birdland Audio Odean with volumn control.but if you're in this price range and want a killer one piece player. Try a used BAT D5. It's so not digital. You'll be able to play e... | |
| SS preamp to replace BAT VK3i w/ht bypass If you like the BAT house sound, go BAT again. Another way to go is the Bel Canto Pre-1. I doesn't seem to have much sound of it's own. It is more transparent and neutral than the 3i. Of course you'll lose the bloom that the 3i is known for. It is... | |

| Power Cord Recommendations for Cal Audio CL2500 Definately the BM, but also consider the Audience powerChord. It's amazing in a CD/DVD, especially for the price. | |
| Suggestions for small bookshelf speakers? Try these VON SCHWEIKERT VR 1 (very holographic)HARBETH HLP3ES-2 (Transparent & Musical) TANNOY M1 Mercury (Terrifically full range for a small inexpensive speaker) | |
| Will cheater rob my PC's? Every time that I've utilized a cheater plug, the negative results were obvious. You're adding two more cheap connections between the breaker panel and your system. | |
| Ferrite Claps I've used the Tekna-sonic vibration dampers from Audio Advisor on speakers and on electronics. They even work just laying them on component shelf. They act (and look) like a radiator for vibration | |
| Ferrite Claps Sorry, I should have been clearer. Is your comment in terms of using ferrite chokes with up-market poewr cords? The ferrite always improved the stock cables. But I get mixed results with better power cords. Also, the $50 Highwire power cord wrap a... | |
| Ferrite Claps I've been using these on stock and captive power cords. What's your experience on after market cords such as Synergistic Research or Harmonic Tech? I get mixed results. Sometimes to many makes the system seem to loose some bloom. |
