| shopping and need advice Polk Lsi 15's work with NAD | |
| What's in your Wadia iTransport system? I have a 160 GB ipod classic with the Wadia 170i into the DAC section of an CA 840C via Creative Cable Concepts Green Hornet digital cable. This is all going to a NAD C372 int-amp and Polk Lsi 15's. This sound is awesome. | |
| Donald Byrd -- "Mustang " -- A First Listen I just listened to the music samples from Mustang on Amazon. I think I will order a copy. Thanks. | |
| Donald Byrd -- "Mustang " -- A First Listen I haven't heard the CD you mentioned but I have one of Donald Byrd's releases from the 70's. I couldn't help responding to your enthusiasm over the musical performance.Herbie Hacock's CD "Speak Like a Child" has the same effect on me. Not just a o... | |
| Polk LSI15 compared to Paradigm Studio 100 V4 I have been auditioning speakers not to replace the Lsi 15's but possibly replace speakers in a 2nd system. Out of those auditioned, none left me feeling like I was missing out on anything over what I already have except a pair that list at 9 gran... | |
| Polk LSI15 compared to Paradigm Studio 100 V4 I have the Lsi 15's in my system and they present any type of music in a way that is both pristine and and musical at all listening levels. They are revealing of whatever the source, for better or worse. I have no thoughts of upgrading the Lsi 15'... | |
| Just got a pair of Polk Audio LSi15s Need advice Yes, the Lsi 15's are 4 ohms. I have a pair and they should be mated with proper amplification designed to drive a 4 ohm load. Take a look at my system setup for ideas. I am completely happy with the sound/performance of my setup. Pretty much any ... | |
| NAD C355BEE Owners - Advice Needed I have a NAD C372. You need the links or you will hear no sound because the links connect the preamp and power amp sections. You can use interconnets/jumpers in place of the links. Preferably short interconnects. | |
| Speaker Burn In... It seems most used speakers for sale on Audiogon are advertised as having low usage/hours. This contradicts the subject of the need to burn-in speakers, which also seems common on Audiogon. | |
| Detailed sound? Real? The stereo systems purchased by some on Audiogon cost far more than the equipment purchased and used by musicians in a live performance. Therefore, your stereo may sound "cleaner" but because of the human interaction and emotion, etc, the live eve... | |
| Newer CDP vs Older DAC Yes a coaxial cable woks better but I have since added added to my system an iPod/Wadia 170i combo through the same DAC (A324) and its sounding very nice here now. The digital cable I used is the Creative Cable "Green Hornet". | |
| Interconnects for NAD Electronics I use NAD amplification with which I use all Audioquest interconnects and speaker cables with great results. King Cobra and Diamondback interconnects. Bedrock (bi-wire) and also Type 6 speaker cables. | |
| Can upgraded jumpers improve sound? I have a NAD C372 that I first replaced the metal jumpers with the standard Audioquest jumpers. The short black one for about 25 bucks. Vast improvement. I now use a .5m Audioqest Diamondback Cable for this. The diamondbacks were not much improvem... | |
| Integrated Amp Jumpers I took the plunge on power cords a good while back. I am willing to give the caps a try. I would have to check into installation of caps since it doesn't look like a DIY project. | |
| Integrated Amp Jumpers Knownothing, How ironic is your name compared to the insight you have provided (smiling). That was a great explanation! Thanks again. Well, I will give one of the dealers I spoke with credit as he told me the King Cobras would have tighter, more d... |
