As for your speaker cables, I've tried many and settled on Speltz anticables, even over cables that list for over $1200.00. There is a clarity, and open clean window on the sound that is beautiful and incisive on VMPS speakers. Can't comment on other speakers bu the Absolute Sound sure loves them too. You can buy them in bulk, easily attach spades and do it for under 100.00. i have a 10 ft. run and and 18 ft. run because my equipment is now on the side vs. between the speakers. I used to have an 8 ft. pair. You can't tell the difference in the longer cables or in a mismatched length. How many cables can do that number and still be clear as a bell?
Budget Strategies forTightening up Bass?
My system: Opera Consonance 120 Linear CDP, Extensively modded Jolida 302B, Silverline SR 17.5 monitors. AudioArt Speaker wire. Various IC's. Short of buying a sub, what is biggest bang-for-buck upgrade to tighten bass? Wire? PowerConditioning? ("currently" I have just an upgraded cryo-treated outlet) Better footers? (I have vibrapods and cones). I've got about $350 to spend on this... I know-- that's not much-- maybe my goal and my budget are mutually exclusive. Still, any suggestions would be appreciated!
