| speaker cable prices So was not talking about the wall, I was talking about a speaker cable between an amp and a speaker which is AC, ie Alternating Current. AC must travel in both directions for the circuit to function properly, if it doesn't the circuit does not wo... | |
| speaker cable prices geoffkait, you endorse Goertz cables because they understand wire directionality. Can you explain how wire directionality exists with AC current since it travels in both directions? | |
| McIntosh C1100 Preamp I have been using the C1100 for over a year now, upgraded from a C2300 and its awesome. As a side note I did swap out the stock tubes for NOS Mullards and that too was a nice/sweet improvement. Currently my C1100 is connected to a Bryston 14b3 w... | |
| Macintosh c52 with Bryston 7b3 I can't compare the 2 you mention however, I'm running a C1100 with a 14b3 and its an excellent combo. Before I got the 14b3 I had a 4b3 and it worked well also I just wanted more punch for the Maggie 20.7sBrett | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD For the money, the Schitt Yggdrasil. Everything you read about this thing is true and its convinced me that R2R design is the most musical and natural sound. I would be surprised if I ever purchase another delta-sigma design again. | |
| Any Bryston 4B3 amp owners out there? I had a 4bst with my original Magnepan MGIIIs and loved it. Since then upgraded to 3.7s with MC452 then Sanders Magtech, then to 20.7s and replaced the Magtech with a 4b3. The 4b3 is the best of all of them by far. | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? Blue Jeans Cables Belden 5T00UP 10 AWG (white or gray jacket) with their Locking Banana plugs that are Ultrasonic welded which allows it to literally fuse the copper wire to the brass banana plug body without using the heat of conventional gas or ... | |
| Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass) Any of the Bryston cubed amps, chose the size that fits your needs & budget and you get a 20 year warranty which no other company can match. | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... I just upgraded my home ethernet service from 20Mb to 40Mb and had an interesting talk with the installer. As he was testing the new connections he mentioned all the splices & switches that exist between my home and the CO and the effect they... | |
| Suggestion on XLR Cables Shadorne & pbnaudio +1 on Canare Star Quad L-4E6S, unbeatable for the $ As you pointed out Blue Jeans is one source, also Cable Solutionshttps://cs1.net/products/canare/L-4E6S_balanced_audio.htm | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? Since I have Maggie 20.7s that require a very strong powerful amp I prefer SS, at this time its a Bryston 4b3. Preamp is a Mcintosh C1100 with NOS driver tubes and a Modwright Elyse DAC also with NOS tubes. This combination produces a very warm,... | |
| Bryston or Pass Labs I went 4b3 but did consider Pass X250.8 and X350.8, one main reason did not go Pass is the class A heat. As for the sound of the 4b3 its very, very good match with my 20.7s | |
| Most transparent power amp I highly recommend the Bryston cubed series, choose the size that fits your setup and you can't beat the warrenty. | |
| Power cord for digital stuffs? Here is an interesting quote from the Schiit Yggdrasil Manual, take it for what its worth:Power Cord. Plug the end of thes upplied IEC cord in here. You can also use fancy audiophile types, but they won’t really do anything—what about the thousand... | |
| What 2 channel Amp would you Buy for $6k? My speakers are Magnepan 20.7sAmps I have had Mcintosh 452Sanders MagtechBryston 4b3Of all of those the Bryston is by far the best, the worst is the 452, weak base on the 20.7s and not a great sound stage. |
