| CD Transport Reccomendation I’m using a Rotel 1572mkii and I think it sounds very good using its internal dac. But you could use it as a transport as well. | |
| CD Transport Reccomendation The Cambridge transport is a good value. They used to sell them open box on eBay for $400 with warranty, but I noticed they aren’t on there anymore. Hopefully it’s not permanent but nothing would surprise me anymore. | |
| Advice on speaker cables. @jrareform does your power conditioner provide surge protection as well? I’m just using an Isobar Ultra for surge protection. I know unplugging during a storm is the best but not always an option in the summer. On my old home theater setup I’ve ha... | |
| Advice on speaker cables. @audphile1 fingers crossed I’m going to say yes. I’ve been letting the system run in the background for quite a few hours everyday. I’ve decided to keep them and just be happy for now. The build quality and bananas make them worthwhile. The banana... | |
| Advice on speaker cables. @turnbowm the Mogami 3103 was what I was going to try initially. That’s after the first two cables I tried that didn’t better my 40+ year old 12 gauge. I was really impressed with these Kimbers. However today I experienced what audphile1 had told ... | |
| Advice on speaker cables. @audphile1 Thanks it would be pretty tight, I really need 1meter. Also about $120 more than I spent on the speaker cables. | |
| Advice on speaker cables. @audphile1 @jrareform Just an update on the Kimbers. I’ve been listening to the 8pr demo pair I purchased from Kimber. It has really improved the system for the better. Much more clarity and detail without fatigue. Cymbals really sound amazing. lo... | |
| Advice on speaker cables. @audphile1 thanks for clarifying that. Although I’ve had audio equipment for a long time, I’m definitely a novice. I went down a rabbit hole when my Yamaha a-960 I had listened to occasionally since 1982 couldn’t be repaired at least locally. I st... | |
| Advice on speaker cables. @boomerbillone Hello. I’ve never heard of this before is it safe for the amp and speakers? And what if one set of wires are bananas and the others bare wire? I’m open to experimenting so I do appreciate the information as well as the wire pricing.... | |
| Advice on speaker cables. @jrareform great suggestions, I may look into demo options from the cable company. I just didn’t want to deal with all the hassle and expense of sending things back and forth, as well as my mind forgetting what it heard. Originally I was leaning t... | |
| Advice on speaker cables. Faustus. Thanks for the advice. Yes they are excellent speakers definitely hard to beat for the money I paid back then. I’ve don’t have many places to demo speakers but I listened to Kef R11 meta and B&W 703 S3 and the Polks without question s... | |
| Advice on speaker cables. Likely going to try the Kimber 8pr although I’m still intrigued by the Tellurium Black ll. Just thought I should give something else a try after using these Apature 12 gauge for 44 years. | |
| Advice on speaker cables. Thanks for all of your input. I think I’m leaning towards the Kimber 8pr although one online store said the Analysis plus 12 would be better with the peerless tweeter. Really curious about the Tellurium but the price is higher and the return optio... | |
| Advice on speaker cables. Thanks for all the response. Budget is in the $400 range, I should add I need close to 12ft on one side and figured I should keep them equal. I was looking into Tellurium Black 2 but the return window was short and had a restocking fee. I’m not o... |
