| Why was Audiogon started? Good discussion. Dealers placing ads on Audiogon is fine, but just as with an individual seller, know who you are buying from. From dealers, especially know their return policy. One suggestion: I don't know if the AudiogoN staff has the resources ... | |
| Just bought a Cary 303/200 ... very neutral ... I have the original 303 and have been very pleased. I agree, neutral is one of the words I would use to describe it, or balanced. | |
| AZ Tsunami vs Harmonic Tech Pro AC 11/ Fantasy 10 I haven't compared the Tsunami and Harm Tech head to head. I had the Tsunami II in my system and wasn't impressed. I believe it has since been upgraded. I liked the Fantasy 10 and felt it was very close to the Audience powerChord which I ultimatel... | |
| Whatever happened to HDCD? Not being in the music business, I don't know why HDCD is not used more. Perhaps its not being marketed well by the technically inept boys in Washington. As a consumer, I own about 20 and they sound pretty good to me. I hope it doesn't disappear. ... | |
| What is the theory behind Digital Power cords? That they absorb noise generated by the crystal oscillator in digital components. I don't have the test gear to verify that electronically, but in my recent evaluation of power cords the digital cords I listened to did sound better than the non-di... | |
| Preamp & headphone amp hookup - I need your help I don't have the same equipment, but I use the Tape Monitor out jacks from my Preamp to my Headphone Amp and it works very well. Of course it can not reproduce the bass and impact of good speakers, but the simplified signal path with a good Headph... | |
| Interconnects:Dazed and Confused If your separates are new you'll want to make sure they are thoroughly burned in before you evaluate ICs. This usually takes more than 100 hours. Depending on usage, it can takes months. Of course leaving your system on continuously will shorten t... | |
| Audio Physic Virgo II vs Tempo III I own a pair of Audio Physic Tempo III and I am extremely pleased with them. At the time I purchased them I listened to the Virgo IIs in another listening room. Although perhaps better in some respects, the sound did not seem as integrated. The AP... | |
| Rotel RA1070 vs Krell300il/Krell 400ui Intgr amps To followup on what Kchahoc said, Bryston is a good choice. Currently, they only offer the B60 integrated, which may be underpowered for some systems. I read somewhere that they are working on an integrated based on the 3B-SST. You may want to inq... | |
| What is your favorite low-tech tweek? Ground Rod protection / cleaning: I spray the connection with Battery Protector and Sealer. It's sold for use with battery terminals, which are susceptible to corrosion. You can purchase this at an auto parts store. The plastic bag is a good idea.... | |
| How do you bi-wire? You're doing it right. Enjoy the improvement. | |
| Tekna Sonic Vibration Absorbers Opinions Currently, I have five pairs on a pair of floorstanding speakers. Previously, I use them on a pair of bookshelf speakers. In both cases I found them to be very effective. They will work on the sides, but it might be best to put them on both sides ... | |
| Considering thiel 3.6 but need feedback Thiels are great speakers but do need proper room placement. Many times I have heard them at dealers and they weren't showcased at their best. But I also heard them at the Thiel factory in Lexington, KY where they sounded better. You might also co... | |
| Cable Influences: IC SpeakerCables Power Cord? Since my first cables upgrades I've known that good ICs will usually produce graeter improvement in a system than good SCs. More recently, I found that PCs are even more important and produce a greater improvement than ICs. No component will perfo... |
