| Cryogenically treated cables Stan Warren uses dry ice for all his mods and cables. He did tests with friends at a university in Oregon that had access to frozen nitrogen and they concluded dry ice is cold enough. So you can do it at home. If you call Stan Warren, I am sure he... | |
| speaker phase CJ does this because they would have to add another stage to the preamp to make it phase correct. Adding things to the signal path usually only makes things worse. Some Blue Circle preamps are this way also. My phono stage is out of phase for the ... | |
| B&W Nautilus 803's versus 804's and 802's For the N805 you will also have to get a really good pair of stands to really get the really good bottom end. | |
| Consistency with power cords? I have a Vansevers Reference 85. This is where I have a high end Blue Circle cord. The rest of the cords are standard Vansevers cords. My HT system has an Audio Power Pack II which is a great $230 conditioner. Also has a detachable cord. Even the ... | |
| 600 used speakers? For B&W a pair of the original CDM-1 bookshelf speakers. They are actually the best CDM-1 version for music because of the first order crossover not found on later versions. Also the P5 floorstander. | |
| Question about CD 'Resolution' I have read that one reason higher bit DACs outperform 16bit even though the data is 16bit, is because a 16bit DAC is actually less than 16bit in actual use. Some data is lost or cut off. The higher bit DACs give the data more room, just like addi... | |
| Consistency with power cords? If they are not the same, then assuming you have a power conditioner with an IEC, the best one should go between it and the wall outlet. The power amp is second IMO. I do not wish to spend the money to get a great cord for each component, so I got... | |
| B&W Nautilus 803's versus 804's and 802's You could get a REL Storm III sub to fill in the bottom. Just keep in mind the N804 plus the REL is equal to the cost of the N803. Some folks like the 804 with the REL better than a N803 without a sub, so if you can give that combo a listen (or wi... | |
| Need New Cartridge Recommendation Moving Magnet or Coil? The Shure V15VxMR is nice for the price. | |
| Recommedations please for a power cord for amp. The Blue Circle BC62 is a great cord. List is about $200, but look for ads here on Agon from Hello Simply Music selling them for $125 on special. No $125 cord can touch it at that price IMHO. | |
| Audiophile's New Year Resolutions? I usually tell people I gave up New Year's Resolutions for Lent (and vise versa). | |
| Need advice on what is a good A/C enhancer. The better ones issolate the digital from analog. Look at Chang Lightspeed, Tice, Vansevers, Audio Power. | |
| Audiophile's New Year Resolutions? Sell off some of the extra tuners, preamps, interconnects, speaker cables, receivers, D/A converters, etc, etc, that are in various closets. | |
| Mockery of Audiophiles For a chuckle you can also read the descriptions on the Bose equipment on eBay. |
