| Krell kav-400xi with show case dvd or dvd standad? I own the SACD standard and have had the DVD Standard home as well....the CD section's are very close, both better than the showcase by far!! | |
| Wilson WP 8 or Sonus Amati Anniversary? The 8's will rock your world...the SF's will seduce you!! Go ahead and take your time on the cable choice per audiofeil...he is so open minded it kills me sometimes. In the end however, I'll bet you go Transparent or MIT:) | |
| Where are you today? It depends on ones mood and perspective really. One should have two systems. Synergy can make up for alot of what one may attribute to any particular technology, so feel the music...see the music...be the music! When you become one with your syste... | |
| Cable suggestions requested Don't be misled by people telling you they have the next best thing for less...Transparent and MIT are the only cables for hard core "MUSIC" lovers! I have owned tons of gear including alot of levinson stuff...they love Transparent cable. Keep IC'... | |
| Wilson WP 8 or Sonus Amati Anniversary? Th quite WP 8's are dynamic as hell and have bone crushing bass. The top end is neutral and extended so results will be greatly determined by gear and cabling. The SF's are more forgiving and not quite as alive as the WP's. You can use tubes on th... | |
| Totem Hawk with BAT-300xSE Do you already own the BAT? The Hawks loved my 400xi when I owned them. | |
| Krell kav-400xi with show case dvd or dvd standad? Standard would be a large improvement...go for it! | |
| Krell kav-400xi with show case dvd or dvd standad? From your musical perspective, I'd go with the showcase. You could also get a bargain dvd player and select another front end for cd/ipod playback...they say the new cambridge cd player is a value. Rotel makes a budget cd player that sounds great ... | |
| Power conditioner or not? Lamcam, I agree with all PC products EXCEPT MIT's stuff. MIT conditioners and power cords use parallel filtration and power correction. Low level dynamics increase, harmonics become more natural and you can achieve higher playback levels without t... | |
| Power conditioner or not? As long as the Naim gear doesn't already have some sort of line filtration on board, then I would suggest the only power conditioner I know of that works so well, you will become addicted to it! I've tried most of what's available and was dissapoi... | |
| Opinions: PC's with strong lows roll off the highs Yes, an ARC HD220, ARC Ref3 and an ARC VT100. I also used the previous XL version on Levinson reference gear with great results albeit a little less clear. The new cord has great clarity along with the Transparent wide dynamic range and tremendous... | |
| Opinions: PC's with strong lows roll off the highs Ah yes, I remember trying out power cords.....someday you will try or experience the Transparent MM and your soul will be moved:) | |
| MIT Magnum MA speaker cables Ubglub, you are correct! MIT has undergone quite a few changes in their lineup recently. It appears that only oracle Dot 2 series cables and Oracle MA cables are hardwired. That being said, I have loved my MIT oracle cabling for it's natural, dyna... | |
| Which ARC Linestage? I owned the ARC LS25, Ref 2 MKI and MKII and the LS26 as well as the Ref 3. Overall, the original LS25 with the 6922 tubes was the most natural sounding of them all. The LS25MKII was less involving as well upon demo vs the original. Many high end ... | |
| MIT Magnum MA speaker cables Only the lower range MIT products have ICONN connectors and modular plug in design. |
