| Tara Labs RSC Air 1 Speaker Cable It really depends on the rest of your system. Typically one selects the rest of the gear first and then matches the cables. I am using Tara Labs Air2, which I chose after auditioning MIT, Cardas, Nordost, Audioquest, Kimber, and Synergistic Resear... | |
| XLR vs. SE for Theta/Simaudio Anyone? Will there be a big difference between balanced and unbalanced with these components? | |
| Simaudio preamp for Theta and Snell? Anyonr have experience with this combo? | |
| Best multichannel amp for music? Never heard Odyssey. However, I've heard lots of Rotel and some B&K, and to my ears, neither comes close to either Bryston or Theta. Anyone else? There have been some great responses so far, please keep them coming! -Dave | |
| Best multichannel amp for music? Jrwr7 - I would not dispute that Theta makes great stuff, and may be the best stuff in my system. I have a Theta transport and DAC (Carmen and IIIa), and they blew away anything else I tried when I was auditioning CD players. However, something do... | |
| Best multichannel amp for music? Jylee - excellent point. In fact, I used to use three 2-channel amps (all Brystons), and I moved toward a 5-channel for rack space considerations. I am not wedded to that idea though. I probably would want to have the mains and center driven by at... | |
| Best multichannel amp for music? I do not have the technical knowledge to understand what you are saying. I certainly did like the imaging of the Bryston. That, along with the bass, was better in this set up than the Dreadnaught, though the Dreadnaught has other advantages. I gue... | |
| Center channel for Avalon Eidolons Thanks for keeping the thread going. Hopefully someone has an answer... | |
| Theta GenVIII vs. Theta Va and a tube preamp? OK, how about the GenVIII vs. the combination of a tube preamp such as a chenin with any dac anyone would recommend, where the used price of the GenVIII is about the used price of the preamp and dac combo? | |
| Theta standalone DAC vs. Casablanca DAC Anyone? ProBasic IIIa vs. Casablanca standard and superior dacs? | |
| Best sounding "cheap" HT setup you're using... Four or five years ago I put together a HT for my parents with an NAD processor (752 I think) and CD/DVD player, Paradigm Studio speakers (60 front, 20 rear, and center, version 2), and a 15-inch Velodyne sub (CT150). Cheap Synergistic Research ca... | |
| childproofing rear speakers thanks for all the ideas everyone. i will go ahead and wall mount the speakers, haven't decided whether regular shelves or one of those bracket mounts for a tv. i appreciate the help. -dave | |
| childproofing rear speakers These are some good ideas so far. Thanks to all. I have tried floorstanding rears in the past, and didn't like them b/c the it seemed like the sound was just going into the back of the couch (which it was). I like the idea of mounting to the rear ... | |
| Dunlavy for HT speakers This is a combo system, both 2-channel and HT. Both are important. I actually listen to music louder than movies, but more often both are at moderate volume. Both of your comments are helpful, thanks. I'm wondering how bit a step up the Dunlavys w... | |
| How big a room for Dunlavy SC-V? How does one control the standing wave? I don't actually know what that means. Thanks. -Dave |
