| AZ Satori vs. Audience AU24 So long as you're digressing, I would highly recommend your considering a McCormack DNA 0.5 or DNA-2 amp with a Revision A or Revision A Gold applied.Because the VR4 GIII SE's are somewhat efficient, one or two DNA 0.5 Rev A's might be just right.... | |
| AZ Satori vs. Audience AU24 1markr and Bigshutterbug. Something tells me you both know exactly what a $20k speaker should sound like.And yes, they are not the most attractive speaker, but based on what I've read and what guys like you say about them, I think the aesthetics t... | |
| Does it matter what gauge power cord that you use? I believe it is mostly folklore that heavier gauge cables are a must. But I do believe that heavier gauge cables can potentially help compensate for possible design flaws, inefficiencies, and/or simply added for increased marketing hype. And of co... | |
| AZ Satori vs. Audience AU24 1markr, how do you like the vr4 genIII se's? I hear great things about these speakers? Any truth to that?Also, I don't think you need to feel that you are compromising in the least by not running full bi-wires. The single runs with jumpers should ... | |
| With preamp or direct CD to Amp Hi, Jayctoy. I'm not sure I am addressing your question exactly as you intended.Are you speaking of increasing your cdp's single-ended output signal from 2volts to 6? Or the XLR output signal from 4v to 6v?Whenever you increase the signal voltage,... | |
| xindac FS-2 speaker cables? Dave, with your system, you might consider auditioning the Audience Au24 speaker cables. I think you'll be impressed as they just might equal or exceed the performance of any previous cables you've tried. And at only a fraction of the cost of many... | |
| AZ Satori vs. Audience AU24 Audio is a funny thing as I had almost the opposite experience of BigKidz. I bought my Au24's upon a friend's recommendation, and after subsequent research. In my initial research, among other things, I found that some to many (including Stereophi... | |
| What would you hook up to a Voice of the theater ? Take it from one who owned Carver's old top-of-the-line amp: If your tfm-35 is anything like the 1.5t, dump the Carver!You would get more current and umph from an older Onkyo 919 or Denon 5700 receiver than you would from the Carver.Your VOT speak... | |
| Best Musical Home Theater Speaker Thanhn, he mentioned speakers, but he also mentioned his intensions, along with his music vs. HT preferences, and he also mentioned purchasing a new system. And he described why he was about to do so. And he even stated the amount allocated for pa... | |
| Kansas City I'd be interested, Amohn. | |
| Best Musical Home Theater Speaker Notcat2, I wouldn't discount the sonic superiority of a nice 2-channel system just yet.If it's set up properly, with excellent equipment, and if you include a nice musical subwoofer, you will still get that 'widescreen' experience. Perhaps not to ... | |
| Best Musical Home Theater Speaker You seem to indicate that music would be a priority in your listening.I would like to suggest your considering the best 2-channel system you can obtain for the same money you would have otherwise spent on a surround sound system that would most li... | |
| Terminology? AudioPh, theoretically, the difference between the sonics of a pre-amp and pre-processor should be little if any.The reality is that some to many to most pre-pros must do more than the average 2-channel pre-amp and therefore, perhaps to stay withi... | |
| Are Dealer Recommendations Useful or Useless? Audiokinesis offers sage advice. Advice that should be heeded by all of us. Regardless of the industry or circumstances.What perplexes me is the attitude that some have developed by thinking that simply being a participant in this specific hobby s... | |
| How important is powercord synergy? Mootsdude, please keep in mind that I do not use aftermarket power cables per se. I use dedicated in-line passive line conditioners for each component that just so happen to include their own built-in power cables. This is ideal for those with ded... |
