| What's best amp for around $2000.00? Used Rowland 201s are a great choice and have the advantage of small size and low heat. | |
| cables I had a pair of Apogees and used Audio Magic Sorceror level cabling throughout. I was very pleased with the performance particularly at it's price point. I compared the Audio Magic interconnects to those from DakiOm and was amazed at how inferior ... | |
| Fatigue reducing interconnect? A company called DakiOm claims to reduce harshness/fatigue along with quite a number of outlandish claims. The products are made extremely cheap and significantly reduces resolution compared to better interconnects. I bought a couple of their late... | |
| Is high end Power Conditioners worth the extra $$$ As an additional thought, PLEASE do not fall for any of the DakiOm products or believe that the guarantee means anything. I was burned big time by this disreputable company. | |
| Is high end Power Conditioners worth the extra $$$ It has been my experience that power conditioners do little and may even hurt the performance of power amps which seem to benefit most from a dedicated circuit from the breaker box. That aside, for the rest of the componets the right power conditi... | |
| looking for circa $5k full range towers I'm powering my Dunlavy-Vs with Rowland 501s. Audiophile friends say it's the best they have ever heard. | |
| No preamp 'Balance' control? I could not do without a balance control. Many recordings are not balanced properly and most rooms benefit from some adjustment. All of the high end preamps that I've had through the years have had this feature. I also believe that most systems wo... | |
| Silver Cables I have had great performance from the Audio Magic cables that I have used in several systems. Check out their website and talk to Jerry before buying anything else. Amazing products!! | |
| High power amp reccomendations, airy highs a must Rowland 501 Monos have gotten it done for me. | |
| Anti Cables to join my system, are they enough? Well, I have to say that the Anticables are not particularly impressive looking. My system is designed such that all wiring is hidden, however, so that isn't a concern. From a performance standpoint, they may not be the best there is, but the syst... | |
| full range speaker suggestions All of the Dunlavys perform at superlative levels. If your room is large enough the SC-Vs are close to perfection and are truly 'full range'. | |
| Right/Left channel balance issues? Pre-amp I would definitely be looking for a different preamp. Not only should it match precisely, but it is desirable to have a balance control to compensate for the irregularities found in many if not most recordings. I like to listen in a dead center po... | |
| How much are your speakers toed in? Dunlavys do best with the speakers aimed precisely at the center point of your listening position. They can also be (and is often the case) placed fairly wide apart. These speakers are extremely directional which makes for the most amazing soundst... | |
| Best Cd Player under $4000? I believe the best CD Player value (used) is the EAD Ultradisk 2000. These units can be had for under a $1,000.00 and will outperform almost anything new under $4,000.00. They can also be modified by former EAD designers and can be made to compete... | |
| Audio Research Sp-6a up in smoke Sending it to ARC can make it as good as new. Send it to Steve and he will make better than new! |
