| The most important word of advise? 04-06-08: Oregon#2 SS amps tend to be fatuiging after long sessions, especially at higher volumes. SS also seems flat and uninvlolving.This indicates to me you haven't heard, 1)the right SS amplifier, or 2) the right speaker/SS amp combo.The hybri... | |
| Synergistic vs. Acoustic Zen Have you auditioned the AZ cables?Dennis_the_menace (System | Threads | Answers)No.I have tried Canare 4S11 (very good), MAS Hybrid Signature (excellent), Purist Audio Venustas (not so good in my system), Silverline Audio Conductor (excellent), an... | |
| Pass Labs Power Cord I'm looking for the same thing. Thus far, Purist Audio Dominus Ferrox works quite well. I'll be trying some Tel Wire cords next week. | |
| The most important word of advise? A third for starting with loudspeakers. Closely tied with this is selecting the right amplifier to drive them. It's not easy, and it takes patience. Ask for advice from those who own what you are considering. | |
| Synergistic vs. Acoustic Zen Try a pair of Gregg Straley Reality cables. $275/8 foot pair. 20 day trial. You might be very surprised. | |
| What is under $5k speaker with best bass slam? If I was creating a new system, I'd look into the Emerald Physics speakers. About $3500 new, and they can be auditioned in your home. Lots of buzz about how real they sound. | |
| What is under $5k speaker with best bass slam? 04-04-08: Dh4kimThanks for all the inputs. I mostly listen to music as backgrounds at a low level. Bass slam is usually a function of volume. Low volume listening does not lend itself to bass slam, IMO.The Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III HSE would defi... | |
| What is under $5k speaker with best bass slam? Used Von Schweikert VR4 Gen III HSE. About half your budget. | |
| New Discussion Forum Format Good or Confusing? How does one switch to the Quick View (Old View)? Or, is this option not yet available? | |
| PC: Synergistic Tesla, Lessloss, Transparent MM 04-03-08: JimmanYo2up maybe right but will have to pay 3000.00 for a cord.Nonsense.For starters, try a Tel Wire cord for $399, or a used Purist Audio Dominus Ferrox for about $700. | |
| Rewire Marantz or Reterminate Cable Why not reterminate the preamp end of the XLR cables so pin 2 is hot? Personally, I wouldn't rewire a component because it would no longer be to factory spec. It'd affect resale. | |
| Hybrid - Tube / SS amp capable of sub 1 Ohm loads? According to the Stereophile test measurements, the Moscode 401HR does not handle low impedance loads (1 and 2 ohms) particularly well.Also, it does not double its output as impedance is halved.So, I question whether the Moscode would be a good ch... | |
| Are there any high quality CD/DVD players under 2K Used Modwright Sony 999ES with tube power supply. ~$1500. Very tough to beat.First class customer support and service, too. | |
| Hybrid - Tube / SS amp capable of sub 1 Ohm loads? Wolcott amplifiers are the only tube amps I am aware of that might do it. I'd also suggest contacting Roger at Music Reference.Otherwise, I don't recall any Apogee owners here mentioning the use of tube or hybrid amps with their speakers. | |
| New Discussion Forum Format Good or Confusing? It's good to have the option of Quick View versus Expanded View. Thanks. |
