| Suggestions for 15 foot Bi-wire cable under $1K I also have the ProAc Response 1s, with an Audio Refinement Complete integrated. I'm using DH Labs Q10 shotgun bi-wire (four separate cables) and am extremely happy with the combination. I think an external bi-wire 15' setup would come in somewhat... | |

| Advice on Budget System for newbie Tobias, yes, I forgot to mention that I'd also upgraded the power cord. I made up my own, using Marinco plugs and Belden 19364 wire. I had the cord when I bought the player and never used the stock cord at all so I can't compare the two.On the opa... | |
| Advice on Budget System for newbie I can't comment on whether any of the various upgrades are cost effective from the several places who do them. It looked to me as if the biggest bang for the buck might be in replacing the opamps since they're such a critical piece in the signal p... | |
| Advice on Budget System for newbie MaxxcI'm afraid I don't have the same level of experience with high-end components, though my current set-up replaced a much more expensive system of all McCormack electronics, including an SST transport and separate DAC as a source. As Tobias sai... | |
| Advice on Budget System for newbie I know this thread is sounding like an ad for the CD-25 but I did want to chime in one more time to reinforce what Tobias is saying. My experience is that, with a limited budget, a dollar spent on the source gets you more improvement than a dollar... | |
| Advice on Budget System for newbie I did exactly what S7horton suggested, bought a used Audio Refinement complete for $525 and a slightly used Music Hall CD-25 for $350. I recommend both very highly in that price range and they look great together, if that's important to you. I've ... | |
| Help with CD Player A Music Hall CD-25 is a remarkable buy in that price range and can be easily upgraded for even better performance. | |
| Importing used Audio equipment to Canada I recently had a Canadian buyer back out of a deal for some of my used equipment when Canadiam customs told him the duty would be 15% of their assessment of the value. | |
| Cars R OK, but what kind of motorcycle do you have A Honda Magna V-4 here, as well, 1994, yellow. It's a wonderful ride. | |
| Dynamic monitors for Audio Refinement Complete I agree about the Soliloquy 5.0's, those are the speakers I had with the Audio Refinement Complete before I got the ProAc 1s's. They do have a sweet sound that's very forgiving with a wide range of music and recording quality and are an amazing ba... | |
| Dynamic monitors for Audio Refinement Complete I'm using an Audio Refinement Complete and modified Music Hall CD-25 with a pair of ProAc Response 1s's. I'm extremely happy with the combination. | |
| Is this rude? I agree that it isn't ethical to misrepresent your interest and ask a dealer to go to a lot of effort for you if you're sure you won't be buying from them. On the other hand, it can be useful to a dealer for me to know what gear they carry and, in... | |
| Parasound Vs Adcom I've owned, or bought for friends, amps and other pieces of gear from several of the 'budget' audiophile brands over the last few years and, while they're all good, my general preference for sound, build quality and ergonomics is in this order:Rot... |
