| din to rca phono try out a set of Analysis Plus Silver Apex phono with DIN to RCA - one of the quietest, most dynamic cables I have ever used with very good top to bottom balance and surprisingly not completely devoid of harmonics | |

| A thousand audio uses for memory foam. Or maybe just one . . . Earlier I had a great idea for you and that memory foam, but I thought I would sleep on it.... | |
| Bi-wiring with unterminated speaker wire? HI Soix- you can stop wondering. Bare Wire connections ARE the best performing for a wide number of reasons. Here's the catch- bare wire is the best connection possible for a VERY short period of time. Unless the bare wire connection is treated... | |
| LINN Ittok needs rewire Suggestions? ^5 for Michael at Brit Audio. He is fast, reliable and does HIGH quality work for reasonable cost. | |
| Looking for Suggestions for IC's I second ( or third) the Wireworld suggestion- their Eclipse model in particular will work wonders in your system and fit your budget as well. Enjoy! | |
| question about bi-wired speaker termination Hi Pfeiffer- Purist does bi-wire speaker cables the right way - they actually double the amount of conductors used in the stereo version of the cable, so what you have is a true, shotgun bi-wire. Because of the way B&W designs their crossover... | |
| Comparison of Analysis Plus Big Oval or Silver Apex to Nordost Norse 2 speaker cables HI Soundhound- you need to put this in context somehow. Tubes vs solid state amps/dynamic vs planar or electrostatics. That way the answer(s) might have some relevance to you and what you really want to know. Good Luck! | |
| Suggestions for Balanced cable between Luxman C900U and M900U. HI MMoe- I would give the Analysis Plus Silver Apex an audition in that system. It is dead quiet, well balanced, very dynamic, and has just a touch of harmonics to keep it from sounding "dry". Good Luck! | |
| Audio Reviewers HI Mindless- please DO give the Ryan R620 speakers another chance. I have heard them numerous times and they always sounded wonderful to me. It must have been either room or equipment that disappointed you. You might also want to listen to the ... | |
| Can I use a single bi-wire cable on a speaker that has 1 binding post? HI Slag- if they are spade terminated, then yes- you can double up the spades under the speaker's binding posts. If they are bananas, then you CAN use them as long as you electrical tape up the unused "extra" bananas and be aware that you are usi... | |
| About the cheapest cable elevators (for those with empty pockets) Without spending ANY money, you can take an empty cd case, stand it up with the hinge to the left and open the case. PERFECT for a cable elevator and any audio guy worth his salt has some empty cd cases or some cd cases for music he will never, e... | |
| System Upgrade Hi Mdmdwyer- Yes the amp is a bit on the low side for this setup, but there is ONE thing you should check first. The DSD DAC has an internal volume control. Make SURE that you have that at 100% otherwise it does sound a bit dull and muffled. Ho... | |
| Trouble finding bookshelves for PrimaLuna DiaLogue Two I would also consider/look at/listen to the Acoustic Zen Adagio Junior speakers, which will be a good pairing with your amp and are terrific sounding. I would consider them a stand mount rather than bookshelf, but they do fit your needs wonderful... | |
| Medium-priced balanced interconnects for a 6 meter run HI Tcatch- I have used the DH Labs Air Matrix in 1M and 6M lengths with equal success. IT is well made, uses great materials, is well shielded and dead-on neutral after break in ( not to start another thread on THAT topic). You will be happy wit... |
