| Biwire questions - Best cable for <$300 TM you ask good questions, with single cable obviuosly all freq are present in cable going to speaker, but the bass freq have much more energy than mid & treble and can cause distortion in these delicate areas. When speaker is designed as biwi... | |
| MF A3cr Preamp Review Dusty, what system are you using A3cr in? Do you own other MF products or is this your first purchase? Sam BTW I own several MF pieces, and will probably be buying A3cr set to add to collection. | |
| Biwire questions - Best cable for <$300 Trelja again has words of wisdom, I forgot my cable recommendation at this price for new cable would be Analysis Plus Oval 12 or try shorter cables and got to AP Oval 9. For used the AQ indigo/midnight/forest lines are good and readily available o... | |
| Biwire questions - Best cable for <$300 Most "experts" say bi-wire is better sound, and if your speaker Manf. went through the extra effort and cost to provide this cabability you should take advantage. Bi-wiring reduces distortion in mids and treble, for detailed explanation why go to ... | |
| CD other tweaks Monroe two of my favorite places for tweaks are Galen Carol Audio, http://www.gcaudio.com/gcasteals.html, and of course Cable Co who sells almost any tweak under the sun, http://www.fatwyre.com/products.html Sluggo why settle for "adequate" CDs wh... | |
| CD other tweaks Sean, you must try Auric, especially useful on your typical rock/alt CD which don't have the best recording to begin with. Will make them much more listenable on high resolutiuon system......I think I will hold off on A.D. CD lathe for now, I may ... | |
| AP Copper Oval ICs Dbear, my only slight reservation about AP copper oval as I hinted at above is not the midrange, but treble is so smooth and natural it slightly lacks the "sparkle" and bite that is present in other cables, rounding of the spires so to speak. I am... | |
| CD player tweaks Auric Illuminator best CD treatment I've tried. Skip the CD mats, I've tried several including Audioprism and they have no positive effect on sound, Sam | |
| CD other tweaks Sean, Cable Co has been trying to convince me to get the Audio Desk CD lathe but it is a very expensive tweak and obviously irreversable if you change your mind. Sanding the edges of CD is similar to blackening edges, trying to minimize light scat... | |

| PSB Gold , NHT 3.3, Paradigm 100 V2? Trelja is correct, definitely go with PSB Gold-i over Paradigm, I feel PSB Gold-i is a class above Paradigm 100. I am puzzled by the "bit bright" comment as JA in his enthusiastic review in Stereophile comments that the treble was actually a bit "... | |

| Integrated Amps vs. Separates. Despite the fact that there are some excellent high priced integrateds like Mark Levison, Jeff Rowland, Plinius etc seperates have distinct physical/design advantages that can only be had with two box approach. British have been making quality int... | |
| What's most important? Robt I have been brain washed by Linn since early 80s when I owned LP12 turntable, source is most important by far whether CDP/Turntable, and makes biggest single difference in sound quality. Of course some balance must be reached, but its the sim... |
