| What amp to pair with a Hafler DH-110 Preamp? How about a nicely restored Hafler 220 amp? Plenty of power and quite transparent sounding too! BTW, I have the 110/220 pair in my collection! Plus the Snell E's! | |
| Magico's M9 I am eagerly awaiting Jay's Audio Lab review! Just the thing to use with his Transparent $80K speaker cables! | |
| Tip for purchase new power cable @jerrybj : go ahead and laugh! At least I am not spending hundreds or thousands on power cords, fuses, ac outlets, cable risers and ac power conditioners. | |
| what speakers do you consider "energetic"? Vintage Altec and JBL have a particular synergy with 60's and 70's Rock! That's why I own them! | |
| Moving again...system finally complete...back to starting over The OP can easily pack his gear into six boxes. Plus a few more boxes for LP’s/CD’s. My move to Florida required 100+ boxes - and I still had to leave stuff behind! The cost from Connecticut was over $3K. | |
| Moving again...system finally complete...back to starting over @carlsbad2 :+1! That's a real nice system the OP has! Shame to sell it because of a move! Hire some movers to pack it under your supervision. Otherwise get a headphone amp and phones and forget about a nice system! When I moved south in 2015 I sp... | |
| Would my DAC matter? @yyzsantabarbara :+1! The software solution is the best way to do system EQ! | |
| Integrated for Martin Logan Electrostatics How about the ARC integrated tube amp! | |
| Tip for purchase new power cable @facten : +1! Forget power cords as tone controls! Get a pair of powered sub's instead for a real improvement in bass response! | |
| Magnapan LRS+ VS .7 The LRS is a poor-sounding speaker - a highly colored far-from - neutral device. Go to Audio Science Review and read the test report. Unlike electronics speakers cannot hide from the measuring process (Klipple Near Field System). | |
| Power Cable Audioquest Dragon vs Isotek EVO3 Ascension Since a 14 gauge cord can briefly pass high peak currents there is no point in using an 8 gauge or lower power cord unless you are into welding! | |
| Power Cable Audioquest Dragon vs Isotek EVO3 Ascension @jhnnrrs : at last! Someone not afraid to speak the truth! The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) should examine the spurious claims made by the power cord purveyors. | |
| Power Cable Audioquest Dragon vs Isotek EVO3 Ascension @invalid : my mistake! Actually a 14 gauge cord can pass lots of current - if only for milliseconds! It will get hot briefly! Enough to melt the insulation? Possibly! I wouldn't use it for arc welding! | |
| Power Cable Audioquest Dragon vs Isotek EVO3 Ascension These wire companies are not your friends! They prey upon naive gullible people for their own profit! Touting power cords for sonic "improvement" is, dare I say it, hucksterism! | |
| Power Cable Audioquest Dragon vs Isotek EVO3 Ascension A 14 gauge power cord will easily handle 15 amps! No need for anything else! Stop listening to the untutored! The sound of any component starts with the power supply - not with the wire to the wall outlet! |
