| Good SS Amp for Vandies 2 Ce Guys, Thanks for the suggestions. I returned to the Hi-Fi arena after a five year break and bought everything based on recommendations versus a listening test. My Belles equipment is very good but I didn't gain much low end control over the Rogue... | |
| Audio Research Amp Shootout Will the SD 135 be reviewed by any of the hi-fi magazines? | |
| Bryston BDA-1 Macdadtexas, The digital cable did make a huge improvement but I was expecting more from he BDA-1. I would say an increase of 10% in performance and if I had to do it all over again I would have bought another Belles 150A Ref amplifier which would... | |
| Interconnects to use Try Dynamic Design MK2 IC, very neutral and transparent. Wig | |
| MIT Shotgun Question. I've used MIT cables exclusively since 1996 and thought they were the best cable until I heard the Goertz MI2 and my new DD cables. The only way I can explain it is the sound seemed to be coming from a bubble up front with no depth. I never notice... | |
| MIT Shotgun Question. Shaunp, I owned 2 pairs of MIT S3 and an 8ft pair of Bi-wire S3 cables as but found the midrange was too forward and edgy.So, the first thing I done was to audition a new speaker wire, which I tried a biwire pair of MI2 Goertz and heard thing I've... | |
| Bryston BDA-1 Macdadtexas Took your advice and bought a $20.00 toslink until my coax come in and you were absolutely right! More bass and a more realistic soundstage and detail. So, It's going to get better with a digital coax? Thanks, Wig | |
| Bryston BDA-1 Thanks for the good information! I guessed the loss of richness on acoustics guitar music was due to the cable but had no idea an analog cable was that inferior to the digital cable. I really can't wait for this cable to come in now to do some se... | |
| Bryston BDA-1 That's correct, using a standard RCA intil my digital 75 ohm Kimber DV-75 coax cable come in the mail. I believe that is the source of the reduced bloom I'm noticing with the BDA-1. Thanks, Wig Belles 150A Ref Belles 21A Tube modified with Auricap... | |
| Difference between RCA & Coax I was just curious because my Kimber Coax cable has not come in yet and was using an old MIT T2 interconnect for the time so I imagine I'll be shocked on the level of detail I'l hear once the cable come in. Thanks, Wig | |
| Grounding ? Thanks for the response guys! I just looked at the back of my Rega and it does not have a ground coming out of the back of the unit so I'll try lifting the ground on the pre-amp instead of the amp. How can I insure the tap does not push back on th... | |
| Iso Clean Fuses Guys, I replaced all my fuses in amp, pre and CD and it truly made a difference. These fuses are definitely directional, try playing Canon D and pay close attention to the high frequency in the right channel and reverse the fuse, you will notice ... | |
| How is Rotel RCD-1520 CD player? Anyone owns one? I have not heard the new 1520 but the Rega Apollo was better in every way to my 1072. Better imaging, soundstage, microdetail and sounded more musical and detailed in my A/B comparison. | |
| Recommend good isolation I have a set of black diamond racing cones from 5 years ago, are those adequate under my amplifier? Thanks, Wig | |
| rega apollo upgrade Spin33, I thought about doing the same thing in modding my Rega but the mods would not get you closer to a Saturn or BCD1 for the money you would spend. So I took the aadvice of friends and bought the Bryston BDA1 DAC, from what I hear it's world ... |
