| 40ft: speaker cable or interconnect? If you have balanced circuitry go for the long IC. If you have ordinary RCA then stick with the longer speaker cable. I don't think it is worth replacing a bunch of equipment for the sake of 15 extra feet of speaker wire. You could try a blind tes... | |
| Tweak your AC mains for better performance, free I turned on my audio system, the sonics really improved. The soundstage had opened up with more width and depth, fullness was improved, and so was the overall resolution and presence of the system. I noticed it immediately, and then remembered th... | |
| Any problem with a long power cord? I'm with Rlwainwright. Do not worry about this until you get to lengths of around 100 feet. | |
| Upgrading Entire System...please help I think you can do extremely well for 6 K especially second hand. I would not worry about CD or Amplifier except to get the features you want and at a good bargain price (second hand - so just keep an eye out - use audiogon bluebook). Speakers hav... | |
| The Cost of Cables Provide an electrical conductor from point A to point B, with insulation on the outside. People can understand that, and question why it costs so much. An audio amplifier is a bit of a mystery to many audiophiles, and they are more easily convinc... | |
| Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it. I gave up on Vinyl in 1985, that was the last time I bought a Vinyl album. Clearly I am blessed with "tin ears". I know all to well that Vinyl can sound excellent - I used to buy Japanese pressings and 12" 45 rpm singles whenever I could. However,... | |
| I Need a Power Amp for my Studio Monitors Bryston are excellent value for power amps. They do run very hot. If "unrefined" implies lacking in coloration then they are unrefined, IMHO. If you like SS designs and are not frightened by the negative feedback boogeyman then Bryston is a solid ... | |
| PMC vs. ATC pmc's are consistantly outstanding throughout the line, though pretty much the 'imf' or 'tdl' of today. I agree PMC's are good. the atc is still a brand searching for a sound, a personality, a classic design or two. way overpriced for the same de... | |
| Recommended in-wall Speakers? Check my virtual system. I have in wall mounted speakers in almost every room. All B&W. | |

| Does upgrading the clock always improve the sound? It depends if there is a clock jitter issue to begin with and if the upgrade has less jitter than the existing setup.Jitter is much less the evil dragon that requires slaying compared to fifteen years ago. Manufacturers are well aware of clock jit... | |
| Floor standers or Monitors? I feel personally a set of monitors and sub (s), for the same money being spent on a pair of uprights, should surpass the performance of a pair of floor standers, shouldn't they? Any time you have woofers covering a less strenuous or broad freque... | |
| Monitors vs. Floorstanders - What an eye opener Old Energy Pro 22 monitors were really good (1980's). Energy make good speakers IMHO. Power handling was not their forte but they sounded great at low levels. | |
| Help: Order of importance: Pre, Amp, DAC, speakers Does the Pre, amp and DAC really shine above a speaker purchase? The system can only shine as much as the speaker will allow but good electronics is a great start. Both the speakers you tried are very similar in size and design and purpose (near-... |
