| Furutech FP-3TS762 or FP-TCS31 The TS20 is full OCC copper, but only 14awg, so for high current amp it could be a little bit current limiting.---The TS762 is standard Alpha (NOT OCC), but 10 awg biggest cable. The TCS31 is, apparently, their new Triple-Alpa process that I thin... | |
| Center Speaker matching Front Speakers Yeah, it's entirely possible that the receiver will not be able to correct for a 13db variation between center and left/right. Good catch. | |
| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... GroverHuffman - wow, a cable manufacturer that actually uses Furutech Rhodium connectors.....but then he lost me when I started reading about silver and silver-plated elements, lol. | |
| Krell Duo 300 compared to Evo 302e or 402e? Your Magico S5 have beryllium dome tweeters, which are NOT metal dome. They will be very high resolution, but will not have the harsh breakup of normal metal domes, so I wouldn’t worry about this. As I said, make sure all your cables have gold-pla... | |
| Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ??? Thanks for the youtube videos. I think the Primaluna has more attack, detail and sweetness. However, closer listening, the Line Magnetic does not have as much attack/detail and it dryer sounding in comparison, but it has a more natural and real... | |
| PS Audio Stellar Gain DAC/Pre-amp as first foray into separate pre-amp? Yeah, often you get what you pay for. You could try the Kimber TAK-CU for $265. I think that's the next nearest thing to solid-core. Audioquest has their Wildcat for $89 - it is solid core, but I don't know if it performs well for phono. lol. | |
| Center channel speaker recommendations Hi soix, sorry to keep disagreeing with you. ugh, sorry.--I heard the audioengine monitors at RMAF and actually was not impressed at all. They really sounded like low cost computer speakers and I think you could do so much better. This is nowhe... | |
| Home Theater Receiver recommendations for B&W 803S? so, did you end up getting the HTM1? | |
| Center Speaker matching Front Speakers Wow, that's a HARD one! lol. These things actually sound a lot like the classic horn loaded speakers of the 70's, like the JBL or Klipsch speakers. If space is not an issue for center channel, probably the best way is to see if you can get a us... | |
| Purchase a receiver or what? need your advice. As a preface for this system description, for all wiring (power cord, interconnect, speaker cable) I use some variation of solid-core OCC copper conductors and everything has Furutech rhodium plated connectors. Even use Furutech GTX/NCF rhodium ou... | |
| PS Audio Stellar Gain DAC/Pre-amp as first foray into separate pre-amp? Cool. One comment about Audio Sensibility. If you are looking at the Statement Silver or the Signature Silver DIN phono cables, I don't think you can get anything better (if silver is what you are after). I have experience with the Impact and ... | |
| $1,000 speakers for rock music? @adiuman58 - you might be on to something here. While the Elac Uni-Fi UF5 will be excellent speakers and much better sound quality than the JBL, they are rather low efficiency at only 85db and maxes out at 140 watts.---I would give the nod to the... | |
| Speaker Recommendation: 20K range Okay guys, before anyone puts forth more speaker recommendations, let's look at his electronics. First, the Focal speakers are one of the fastest responding speakers out there. Hence, they can sound bright and thin unless you have a very warm/th... | |
| replace HT receiver with newer H/T 4K receiver Many might think different, but in my opinion, Denon is very similar to all the other conventional receivers (onkyo, pioneer, sony). Yamaha are not bad sounding receivers - they are at least more natural sounding. The Denon has a very solid-stat... | |
| replace HT receiver with newer H/T 4K receiver @helomaech - are you trying to chase away new users here? We have a pretty good set of HT users. Even though most of the users are 2-channel and only post in the "Amps Preamps" thread. |
