| Virtual Dynamics + Ensemble Power Cords- good mix C'mon guys- perhaps we got a bit off topic here. Do we actually have any other opinions on these CABLES??!! For those that are also using Virtual Dynamics, let us know what you think, and ESPECIALLY (as was the topic of this post) as a MIX with ot... | |
| What processor competes with best preamp? Yes- Sim Audio Attraction | |
| Why are AM/FM Tuners So Expensive? I love my FM tuner!! Having never owned one, I took the plunge on a M-I-N-T (been in a box for ~ 15 years, according to previous owner) Accuphase T-101 for ~ $500 USD. FM rocks!!!!!, and this is one gorgeous tuner- all silver with green meters and... | |
| Theta Dreadnaught amp is it just a HT amp or music excellent- on the warmer side of neutral. I even tried a vertical bi-amp with mine with great results. It is also very stable, and reliable. Mine is on 24/7 for the last year and a half with NO problems. You will not regret the choice. | |
| Line Conditioners Psychic- I ALSO use the Tice Solo A/V, but only plug my TV into it- I then plug the Solo into a Tice Powerblock IIIC Signature (as well as all other gear). I agree- the Solo on its own may be limited, but in the chain with the other one, it's a di... | |
| Whats the best power conditioner for RPTV? TV is 32" Sony XBR2 into a Tice solo A/V into a Tice Powerblock IIIC- result? DVD quality from regular Satellite feed. (also- use good video cables- all my crucial conections are Wireworld Silver Starlight III+ S-Video- definitely 'completes the p... | |
| 2 channel Poll: Vote: Do you use Tubes or SS? 2-ch system- all tube. 4 highly modded/rebuilt tube monoblocks in a bi-amp setup- a pair of GTA Solo 300B's on mids/highs; and a pair of Altec 1570 BT's (170 wpc in triode using only a pair of 811 output tubes) on bass. HT system- SS (Theta Dreadn... | |
| The"new" look Capitole The new Cap will not be cheap either. I live less than an hour's drive from the North American Distributor here in Ontario, Canada (where I bought my current Cap 24/192. I asked about trade-in, and they want my machine + another $6k CDN (~ $4k USD... | |
| Line Conditioners Here's a vote for the Tice- but only the IIIc, because its the transformerless one. Quieter noise floor, vocals snapped into better focus; etc.- however everything went to the next level when I put an Ensemble Isolink power transformer on the HT p... | |
| Hi-end DVD/CD Machine vs. Hi-end CD Player/Transpo I would consider the Thalia as well- heard great things- too bad no dealers wil give 30-day trials on it... | |
| The Totem Wind Loudspeakers Marakanetz- correction- Mani-2's will outdo bass on Forests, and are also a two-way- except don't consider them unless you are going to throw a lot of juice in front of them... | |
| does an audiophile quality xlr 'splitter' exist? thanks everyone- good thoughts. I even got an e-mail from a dealer- 'Quest For Sound', indicating they have "CARVER PRO xlr y CONNECTORS" and to check out their site- hmmm..... | |
| Best Amps for Totem Mani-2's? FINALLY a Mani-2 poster!!OK- I have owned them for years- in fact I now use 5 of them in the home theater system. Current amp is Theta Dreadnaught- excellent match. The Dread does 400wpc in to the Mani's 4 ohm load, and uses a massive 2.2kVa trans... | |
| Placette pre amp Ultrakaz- re: active attenuation, would not the Audio Aero Capitole have it as well? (mine has analog volume control). Must admit though- I have often wondered if adding a quality passive could benefit things at all... | |
| Reasonbly priced processor w. balanced outputs? My Sim Audio Attraction has balanced outs for all 5 channels + sub, however, it will be closer to $4k used- might be out of your range... |
