| what's the most vital cable in a system? I think what your asking is what cable has the most sonic impact...in that order. With that, it would be your speaker cables by far. Than your interconnects. The ones closer to the source & than on down the line in that order of impact. Lastly... | |
| Jazz Recommendations I concur with most all of the above recomendations. In addition, how about... Oscar Peterson's Ultimate, Larry Carlton's Collection, Stanlet Turrentine's Mr. T, Keb Mo's Keb Mo, Chuck Mangione's Children of Sanches, & Santanna's Black Magic Wo... | |
| One more BI-WIRE question Interesting Fpeel...you could have something there. Bi-amping would be a definate sonic improvement, however I got to believe the amount of users bi-amping has to be extremely small. In my humble opinion...way to small to warrant speaker manufactu... | |
| One more BI-WIRE question Oh, I forgot to mention. Why does SF make their speakers bi-wireable if they sound better single wired? I believe it's all marketing. Most people feel or a least a lot are under the impression that any given speaker will sound better if it has biw... | |
| One more BI-WIRE question My guess is your refering to Sonus Fabors. I own a pair of the original Electa Amatours. Simply put, they sound better in the single wire configuration. I strongly recommend not using jumpers. Pull your woofer out & redirect one set of leads u... | |
| Single bi-wire or double bi-wire ? I agree with Leafs & Snook2. I think Bi-wire is a marketing ploy. Any speaker sounds better bi-wired right...actually wrong. Cable companies love it though. Single wire does definatly sound better. In particular it offers better resolution &am... | |
| best preamp for cj premier8 mono There is a CJ 16ls for sale in audiogon right now. An $8000 preamp selling for $4000 & only 3 months old... seems like a good deal to me. In addition, I know that dealer. He's very reputable. You can't do much better than that plus you know it... | |
| Sonus Faber Extremas with Krell FPB 600? I'm with Mfgrep. I have the SF Electa Amatours (originals). After trying several S.S. amps I too wound up with the CJ Premier 11A. The difference between the CJ & all of the S.S. amps I tried was literaly night & day. Tubes really get the ... | |
| Best upgrade for the money ? Gotcha Pops... you could be right on the MIT's. I'm more familiar with the older wire. | |
| Best upgrade for the money ? Hi Pops...That's some nice gear you have there, but I'm a little bit thrown back by your statments. Your saying the Polks sound as good as the Vandy's just different??? Although the Vandy's have never been the speaker of my choice (a little bit on... | |
| Best upgrade for the money ? Rob: Forget about the power cords for now. They will make a relativily minor improvement $ for $ as compared to speaker replacement. You need to decide on your speakers before considering a DAC or anything else. Everything is system dependent in o... | |
| Best upgrade for the money ? I agree, proper speaker placement is critical. If speakers are not properly placed...most notably your imaging, soundstaging & bass performance will suffer greatly. Take the Polks & position them properly...you will experience a large soni... | |
| Best upgrade for the money ? I agree with getting rid of the mid fi polks for something more hi end. Sell the Polks & throw in another $700 to get somthing decent (there would be many different speakers to choose from which will walk all over the Polks). The Polks simply ... | |
| Biggest hype-worst tweak I know some people swear by it, but I found the Bedini Ultra Clarifier to make absolutly NO sonic improvement. It's built cheesy & on winter days when there is a lot of static any small shock would set the damn thing off spinning on it's own. ... | |
| Options besides the PS Audio Powerplants Onhwy61...RCprince is right, get the PS Audio power plant. You won't be sorry. Most likely the reason your seeing all these other units on the market is because people are replacing them with power plants. |
