| Nuforce step up from Sunfire for B&W 803N? 03-02-09: JeffkadNot sure what you meant by "The bass impact issue is one that might be affected by the power output specs of the NuForce Ref9V2SE". Did you mean affected positively (more impact) or negatively (less impact).I meant negatively due ... | |
| Upgrade speaker cables OR amp for Dynaudio C4's? Pass Labs amps are an outstanding match with Dynaudio loudspeakers.Unfortunately, the Aesthetix Calypso preamp is a bad impedance match with Pass Labs amplifiers, with the likely result being light weight or rolled-off bass.In this case, Alberport... | |
| Nuforce step up from Sunfire for B&W 803N? Jeffkad, the NuForce amps are available with an essentially no-cost home audition via the NuForce Demo program (you pay for shipping). Why not try them for yourself?The bass impact issue is one that might be affected by the power output specs of t... | |
| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps The Pass XA-30.5 is a terrific amp. Glad to know you're enjoying it, Rabbani. | |
| Nuforce step up from Sunfire for B&W 803N? I auditioned the Ref9V2SE with speakers that are 8 ohm nominal, but have dips below 5 ohms.Compared with amps that double power as impedance is halved, the NuForce amps produced unbalanced frequency response that was light in the bass, resulting i... | |
| Nuforce step up from Sunfire for B&W 803N? It's only rated at 190/300wpc but obviously power isn't everything...Jeffkad (Threads | Answers)Doubling power as impedance halves is sometimes everything, especially when the speakers being mated have significant impedance dips and spikes. The N8... | |
| What is the best power cable under $200.00 retail? I don't disagree with Dcrugby, and I should have stated something a little differently.You may hear the difference between a stock power cord and a $200 after market power cord, but at this price point, and taking into consideration the price poin... | |
| What is the best power cable under $200.00 retail? ...will an upgraded power cable give me better sound without making any other changes? Dmg I don't think you're going to hear the benefits of an aftermarket power cord.Spend your money upgrading your source or your amplification. | |
| New DAC Not a Dramatic Improvement? Happy listening. | |
| Entry Level Cables T Bone's idea is excellent. Not sure why it hasn't already been instituted.Seems like a no-brainer. | |
| New DAC Not a Dramatic Improvement? Tholt, Based on your last comment, I'll take it that English is not your first language. | |
| New DAC Not a Dramatic Improvement? And I read that he didn't know a GOOD ENOUGH HIGH CURRENT INTEGRATED that would work as well as the combo. To which I then, and still, doubt. but im done splitting hairs. Tholt (Threads | Answers)You're not splitting hairs. You're not comprehendin... | |
| New DAC Not a Dramatic Improvement? The statement Mapman made that you quoted:Maybe, but I do not know a good high current integrated for the Gallos that could do as well as the A3CR + pre-amp combo for that price?He said he did not know a good $2000 high current integrated THAT COU... | |
| New DAC Not a Dramatic Improvement? Mapman, you don't think there's a powerful enough integrated to be had for $2000? Tholt (Threads | Answers)That's not what Mapman wrote. Read his statement again more carefully. | |
| New DAC Not a Dramatic Improvement? Well, I have never heard the Musical Fidelity A3CR, but I have heard the Juicy Music Peach and MHDT Paradisea, and these are both outstanding products. The Juicy Music performs well beyond the $800 price.Good suggestions, IMO. |
