| Can you put an amp between shelves? I spoke with Steve McCormack about this issue recently. In fact, I originally e-mailed Steve, and he called me personally to discuss the topic because he believed it was important. Steve was adamant about the amplifier (DNA-2 Deluxe Rev. A+) havin... | |
| Preamps paired with DNA 225 or other McCormacks I've used a First Sound Presence Deluxe II with a McCormack DNA-2 with excellent results. | |
| Any superb balanced dacs up to $2,500 used?? "Totally clear window". George, that's the best description of my Empirical Audio modded EMC 1-UP that I've ever read. You nailed the HF extension and clarity issues as well. I'd also add wide soundstage to your comments. I'm certain the qualities... | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood Mitch4t, you contradict yourself within three sentences when you mention at the top of your post that the cost can't be the reason with $100m budgets, and then say later in your post that companies should provide the placement at no cost. Your sec... | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood My educated guess would be that the cost of renting audiophile gear to put in a Hollywood production for the limited amount of background set dressing would be prohibitively expensive. Producers like to spend their dollars elsewhere. | |
| Dakiom Feedback Stabilizers............ Our systems are different. Simple as that. That's why the Dakioms have to be tried in one's own system to be sure if they're going to be beneficial. The same thinking applies to cables, tweaks, and any other equipment one might consider. | |
| Dakiom Feedback Stabilizers............ Ray, honestly, the best thing if you're interested is to try them yourself in your own system. Dakiom offers a MBG, so there's nothing to lose by trying them. It's become clear to me over the last couple years that everyone's system is different, ... | |
| Dakiom Feedback Stabilizers............ They recessed the midrange in my system when I tried them from CD player to preamp. I preferred the Bybee Magic Bullets.Just to offer a different viewpoint. | |

| Which of these power cords is best? You guys recommending the Wolff source cord realize Michael Wolff no longer offers in-home trials, right?cls.pl?cablpowr&1097726103>http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?cablpowr&1097726103It's unfortunate because the in-home trial see... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4,Jr. Yes, the woofer wire is less critical than the tweeter wire. I used Canare 4S11 for quite some time with excellent results. I wasn't bi-wiring. I was using jumpers. So, you're results should actually be even better.A few months ago I replaced the ... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-4,Jr. Brrgrr, you don't have to get fancy for the woofer wire. Home Depot 12 gauge, or Canare 4S11 should be fine. | |
| Marantz 7400 vs Denon 3803 I own a Denon 3801, and I previously owned a Marantz (model I can't recall). I like the Denon much better. The remote, menus, manual, and overall operation of the Denon is superior. | |
| Can Rock-N-Roll have great sound quality? AC/DC "Back in Black"Metallica "Metallica"Porcupine Tree "In Absentia"Alice in Chains "Essential Alice in Chains"Soundgarden "Superunkown"These are all well recorded, SMOKIN' recordings. You can't go wrong. | |
| Went to see Bond last night-Don't criticize me yet Music and performance is supposed to entertaining and fun. Sometimes over analyzing and criticizing just takes the fun out of things. If I was worried about a professional crtitics' point of view, I'd have never taken my wife to see KISS a couple ... |
