| Silver vs Copper cables Yes, I wouldn't recommend silver with that equipment, not w/o shades anyway. As I stated above, these are the comments I simply do not agree with. I will make an observation, take it for what you will. Many cables makers top cable is silver.Hopefu... | |
| Queen on American Idol Interesting that you mention Katharine and Chris, I feel they are the two best...time will tell how the votes come out. | |
| Silver vs Copper cables Silver vs. copper is one of those endless debates. Some make claims that silver is be bright; if silver is done right I do not find this to be true at all. I wouldn't be as concerned with the metal as much how well the cable reacts in your system. | |
| B&W 802D + Pass Labs X350.5 a good match? Your thoughts were my thoughts too. I can run the MA2275 out of steam if I push it hard enough, that said its overall performance is wonderful. I was using the Musical Fidelity kW500 when I switched to the Mac; there is no doubt that the kW never ... | |
| B&W 802D + Pass Labs X350.5 a good match? I have used the Classe CA2200 with the 802D's and was disappointed. (I have questioned for some time if there was an issue with that amp due to certain circumstances.) I really liked the CA2200 and CP500 with Signature 805's but it just wasn't get... | |
| Opinions on the Mac MA 2275? Hi Terry,The 802D's are 8 ohm, but McIntosh recommends using the 4 ohm taps with these speakers, I am not sure why, contact Chuck Hinton at Mac if you want further clarification. I have not tried the 8 ohm taps but I may at some point just to hear... | |
| J.Rowland Is it possible to shut off the display John,I believe it is just a push of a button on the remote. What the comments above alluded to, I believe, is that when you adjust the balance, there is nothing that shows where the current setting is, so to be sure you can reset it to center by u... | |
| J.Rowland Is it possible to shut off the display I mentioned there was a chip that needed changed, I think I may be confusing this with a piece of BAT gear I once owned; on thinking on this more, it may just be a swith inside the unit. | |
| J.Rowland Is it possible to shut off the display As I recall, from owning a Concentra II in the past, a chip has to be changed inside the unit to make the display turn off after 5 seconds; JRDG can provide you with the chip and intstructions on how to do it. JRDG gear is designed to be left on a... | |
| Break in for ICs from CDP You do not need your amp on. As stated above, simply put your CDP on repeat. The real question is, why the secrecy of what the CDP is? It seems clear to me that TVAD's question was intentionally ignored. | |
| Your system TOO resolving? MacC200 vs ML32S I spent a decade with a system, in various forms, that I hated because I purchased gear that had better detail than what I had been using; I find that I can still get caught up in the "details".I recall many years ago purchsing a separate amp and ... | |
| Which is Best loudspeaker in the $1000-1200 range? I have no desire to get in a pissin match with you Beheme, if you dont like B&W speakers I couldnt give a flip. The reason I posted was because you freely make claims that you have zero knowledge of. Furthermore, a company that has the finan... | |
| Which is Best loudspeaker in the $1000-1200 range? The analysis about marketing expenses are impecable, though. Some firms do spend too much trying to prove how good they are.We have no knowledge of what percent B&W spends on advertising; don't go by some off the cuff statements made on the in... | |
| Awful sound from B&W's: Break In needed? I agree with Sugarbrie. I have had 3 sets of B&W speakers and none sounded bright or harsh.A friend brought over his Signature 805's one time and I liked them so much I sold my speakers and purchased a set. For the first 4 days they weren't ev... | |
| Awful sound from B&W's: Break In needed? My experience (not with 602's) is that they change a lot after 4 days of running, basically 24 hours everyday, and can can continue to break in for many months, like 7 to 8. |
