| $200 or less 8' Run - Zu WAX, AP, Singal, Others? Canare Starquad 4S11 at 69 cents a foot from Markertek.com is a no-brainer. It's used by professional recording studios for speaker cable and microphone cable.As another alternative, you can try the new MAS Hybrid Reference Silver Core for 30 days... | |
| tube upgrade for first sound I concur with the Siemens 7308 suggestion, and would also add Amperex 7308 PQ made in the USA. Ever-so-slightly softer mids than the Siemens, and a good choice when running a SS amp with the First Sound. | |
| Sorry, yet another My experience with the First Sound is also that it sounds best direct to the wall. Kinda nice to be able to fix the problem without having to buy new speakers, huh? Emmanuel's a fine gentleman, and extremely giving of his time to those interested ... | |
| Jet...the new Ac/dc? Their album is fun, but derivative. That's OK for what it is. It just doesn't make them the next AC/DC. | |
| Sorry, yet another Touche, Nrchy. Back to my apple sauce and drool cup... | |
| Sorry, yet another Nrchy, nice ideas, but 1markr requested speaker suggestions under $6k, so apparently you didn't thoroughly answer the question either. :)I'm donning my absestos suit now... | |
| Sorry, yet another I have a similar set-up with the First Sound Presence Deluxe II and VR4 SE loudspeakers. I'm driving the speakers with a Bryston 14B SST amp. Before I put the First Sound into the system, I was using Bryston BP-25 preamp. There was a perceptible r... | |
| What makes your Home Theater system No matter how unbelievable a home system is it will never equal the experience of going to a theater and the overall impact a film makes in that setting, and I believe it has more to do with the theatrical environment than the projection and sound... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? This is a nearly impossible question to answer. One's choice could easily vary from day to day...mood to mood. Nomad's mention of Brian Setzer is refreshing and true. See his Christmas Extravaganza concert if you possibly can. Simply stunning!Ulti... | |
| Sony NS999ES ModWright upgrade vs. external DAC Tom, Dan offeres a warranty to his modifications, and ususually will repair problems unrelated to his mods by charging only for the parts. A great deal all around. Please confirm with Dan regarding the second point. | |
| Average Price Spent for Speakers When I entered the Audiophile foray over a year and a half ago, my initial quest was a new pair of speakers. I hadn't yet discovered Audiogon, and my research was almost completely based on Stereophile magazine. Cabinet size was an important facto... | |
| Denon 3803 No Detachable Power Cord Why? I own a Denon 3801, and it's a great unit. I've never had any problem with it whatsoever. I believe you can rest easy knowing that a voided warranty probably won't be an issue because you'll never need it. Having said that, I share the minority vi... | |
| Perreaux 350P Your N802's are significantly more efficient than the Aerial 7B's, so premature shut-down from the 350P may not be an issue. | |
| Perreaux 350P I owned a 350P that drove Aerial 7B's. The Perreaux constantly went into protection mode and shut down at moderately high volumes (meaning not room shaking). I don't recall the efficiency rating of the Aerial 7B's, but you can check it out on the ... | |
| Power Conditioner Helpful? I believe this is all dependent on one's system and local power supply. In my system (and it's highly resolving), neither the addition of The Bybee Signature or Audio Magic Stealth Mini had an appreciable effect that made the expense worthwhile. M... |
