| Spectron Mk II, is it really that good. I an't speak to the specific Spectron model you asked about, but, I have been using Wyred 4 Sound amps for over a year. No matter what I have changed upstream, isolation/vibration devices, they are readily apparent.I just upgraded my Rayconic 168 ... | |
| Solid State Preamp recommendation for $2500? PS Audio GCP/GCPS. Nothing compares in this price range. Next best would be the Parasound JC 2, which just got product of the year from Absolute Sound, but is $4000 | |
| Mapleshade Brass Footers w/ Rega P3-24 ? Investigate the Machina Dynamica Promethean springs | |
| replace a full Cello System? She should audition the new Carver sat/sub speaker system. The room size and acoustics will significantly compromise the sound she is acustomed to. THe benefit of a Pallete might be neglegible, or more necessary. Hard to say.She will need A PS Aud... | |

Necessary steps to getting the available bass1. 20 amp dedicated line to your room2. Balanced power conditioner- PS Audio PPP3. really good power cords- see Tek Line Cables... | |
| Which tubed pre to "flesh out" my mids??? If your source and amp are balanced designs (more than just having XLR I/Os) then your priority would be a balanced tube pre such as BAT, Vincent just came out with one though I have no idea as to its' sonic signature | |
| Used monitor under$600 with good bass low levels Shoot for a sat/sub system. Getting bass out of the main speaker is a real plus. Most of the real high end speakers are sat/sub! I have a pair of Warfdale Diamonds (biamp) that sound quite good with a powered sub | |
| SS integrated amp for under 2k PS Audio GCC series | |
| Another Cable Burn-in Question If you are using RCA cables, get a cheap CD/DVD player for such burn in. Also, ISOTEK makes a terrific burn in disc. Not sure about needing your pre to be on | |
| Best Solid State for Avalon Isis I am very happy with my Wyred 4 Sound amp. I have the 4 channel 250/500 biamping Magenpan 3.5Rs. Proper cabling is needed to let it be all it can be. I use Tek Line Cables Reference and micro Reference Xtreme power cords, PS Audio Transcendent Sil... | |
| Need guidance on system config...help Raysonic 168 is an outstanding player at any price, but when you use the XLR variable outs into a differentially balanced amp you have a world beater | |
| Worth it to upgrade to Rega P3? Consider upgrading to a suspension system of isolation.Go to Machina Dynamica website, then Promethean Springs. Somewhere there is an article on the effects of vibration.I use 2 sets-one for my amp the other for my CD player. | |
| Preamp for McCormack DNA-125 Gold? Budget $2k Balanced I/Os does not mean the component is a differentially balanced design. Unless the McCormick is, I would sell it. Actually, I would sell it either way...You can buy a new Wyred 4 Sound SX 250 for this. There's a pair of SX 500 monos on AG f... | |
| Bi-amping using ACCUPHASE electronics You will need an active XO. Try either DBX or Behringer CX 2310 < $200 from Musician's Friend. I have both, but use the Behringer as it also has a sub woofer I/O | |
| need advice for turntable footers Consider Machina Dynamica Promethean Springs. I use them under my amp and CD player. Should be awesome under a Rega TT- and a lot cheaper. FYI I has SP/Rs under ALL my equipment before switching to Herbies isocup/balls and Promethean Springs |
