| Power cord to add ease and tame treble. They (Cardas Golden Reference) add ease and tame treble. I just mentioned it because it seems that's what you're looking for a power cord to do. I do agree with the others that dedicated lines are a good place to start. This added a blacker backgr... | |
| Best Redbook player with XLR outs I'll second Beemer. I'm currently using a BAT VK-D5SE with my VK-31SE preamp and Tara Labs cables, and I'm very happy with it. It isn't the most transparent or revealing cd player I've ever heard, but ALWAYS musical. I'm an analog fan first, but I... | |
| Power cord to add ease and tame treble. Glai,I beleive my original question was, have you tried the Cardas Golden Reference speaker cable?Cheers,John | |
| Power cord to add ease and tame treble. Did you try the Cardas Golden Reference speaker cable? I ask because in my experiences the Cardas seems to be quite smooth. The Ridge Street, although quit revealing, was a bit thin, leading towards listener fatigue, IMHO. I should mention that my... | |
| Best way to remove static build-up? Ground the chassis' of your componants. | |
| Best used SS 100 - 150wpc for a grand or less? Aragon 8008ST, Classe CA-150, and McCormack DNA-1(or DNA-1 deluxe), come quickly to mind, as well as the above mentioned Bryston's. I've heard several systems sound good with the McCormack/Vandersteen combination. Good luck and happy hunting. | |
| Oooops Just got caught... 'She just doesn't get that warm feeling from basking in the amp's glow.'I think this is mostly a genetic male thing, like sitting around the campfire in the old west. My wife can't stand the look of tubes. She claims they look 'tacky'. I have a tu... | |
| Not much buzz about BAT lately? Generally speaking, audio products create the most buzz when new models come out. BAT's hasn't released new models in over a year, so the buzz may have faded a bit, but not the quality of the product. I'm very happy with my VK-DSE, VK-P5 and VK-31... | |
| Preamp for Clayton Audio S40? Drdjchase, I am currently using a BAT VK-31SE preamp with my M100's and Vienna Acoustics Strauss speakers, and I'm very happy. I could live with this combination for a long time (very unusual for me). I'm not familiar with your speakers, they may ... | |
| Best of both worlds?? Dreaming perhaps?? Steve,I never found a SSP that played music that well (Proceed, Classe, Krell, etc). I wound up getting a nice stereo preamp (BAT) that has a unity gain throughput. I then just use a Denon receiver for HT. The Denon drives the rears and center cha... | |
| Best excuse for playing loud music? Jea48, no, not really, but sometimes is good enough. | |
| Best excuse for playing loud music? I have it this loud because you won't stop talking! (speaking to my wife). | |
| Is this rude? I agree with Sidssp, I would never do this. Buy used, if you don't care for it, turn around and sell it. The salesperson's time is $$$, and to go in with no intentions of paying for it is wrong, IMHO. | |
| Classe CP-35 preamp. The Classe 6 is better sonically, richer, fuller. Stronger bass foundation also. The 35 has a remote though it sonically is more in line with the old Classe 4. Classic case of which means more to you, the sound or the remote..... | |
