| Marantz SA7S1 owners - stock or modded Anyone who hears the Marantz as bright hype detailed has something a miss in there system.Perhaps out of absolute phase, if you run XLR out remember pin 2 is reversed compared to USA balanced inputs, the phase switch should be engaged to put the s... | |
| MIT 750's They are great! Pay $$$$$ today for the same sound with metal boxes! | |
| Review: Music Interface technologies Shotgun S2 Proline 1M Interconnect Should try a pair of MIT 750 Shotgun speaker cables. Unreal sounding, air, width and depth and reach out nad touch imaging. I have two pair for both my systems. Though the one pair is really taken up to much room in a small space so I may have to ... | |
| Has anybody compared Lessloss and Shunyata pcs LessLoss hands down. Best cord I've ever owned and others may do somethings well but not overall like LessLoss. Now having said that the Harmonic Technology Magic II on front end gear is really special, but then its design is like having a power c... | |
| Lessloss DFPC original vs mini Lossloss is one of the few cables that work on every type of gear equally well. I've own Shuyata, MIT, PS Audio and so forth, the LessLoss does all well overall where they others really put their sonic or coloration on the gear they were attached ... | |
| Cardas-type caps or shorting plugs? Your on the right track. Yours your ears. Shorting RCA's for the phono inputs if you do use them. The try the Cardas on the unused inputs and see if you like the change. In my system they worked by the sounds lack some dynamics and became thin sou... | |
| Shorting caps/Cardas protective caps worth the $? Cardas caps and Shorting Plugs do work. Cleaner, better bass, detail and much more natural sounding. If your system is transparent enough these cheap add on tweaks will be worth the money. | |
| Any negative comments on Polycrystal products? Some of the best you could have purchased. Anything you sit equipment on will result in a somewhat different sound. Great design if you can still buy it, then still do so. | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC This is far the cheapest way to improve your audio system and better than even switching power cords and cables. Everything improves. Tip use two at the male end of your cd player than one at the IEC end. Zero noise, more body and micro details. O... | |
| Proac Tablette Ref 8 Sig Vs 1SC I owned several Proacs and while they were nice, they all had a tough bright spot to them. My Dynaudio C5 killed them and most others speakers I've own, and I have now had my C5's for 7 years, wish I had more time to listen to them, but when I do ... | |
| Wilson Benesch ACT1 VS Dynaudio Confidence 5 The confidence 5 in room response is 33Hz and rolls off from there. In most rooms this is about as much clean bass you would need, and the key wood here is clean bass with definition. | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC On Cd's players use two copper sleeves, one on each end of the power cord, your jaw will drop, in fact use two on the male and one on the IEC end. There will be no going back. | |
| Marantz SA-7S1 Vs Cary 306 and Esoteric X-03SE I owned them all and they are were sold. The Marantz SA7-S1 is till in my system after 2 years. | |
| Marantz SA-7S1 filters and noise shaper Use the filter that works the best with your gear, speakers and room. It was designed this way. The Noise Shaper works great, will improve slam and bass, just check which filter it works best with.My tube as a great video on getting the best out o... | |
| Those black boxes degrade sound? I owned MIT Oracle for a few years now 1.2V and 3.2V proline. They are not smeared, bright, dull, dark, slow or fat. They match up to your gear due to the variable impedance switching. The cables cost but in a well designed system can be the cherr... |
