| Rowland Concentra 2 Russell- I believe its 150 wpc versus 100 for version 1. I had version one, and thought it was great- favorite SS. Have not heard version 2, but understand it exerts slightly more authority over the woofers for bass response. I read somewhere that... | |
| Cardas GOlden Reference vs GOlden Cross Yes- nice combo. I use a mix of Golden Cross IC with Golden Hex 5C speaker cables- warm and rich... I have tried GR on front end, and with good results- a bit more res than GC. | |
| Will buy Pre-amp today, help please !! Hovland HP-100 by a landslide! Just kiddin'- since that one was not on your list (too bad). I would choose the Bat between those 2. Good luck. | |
| Speakers for small room,near field You think YOU have a small room. Try 8'x12'. That's my situation. I will be using Coincident Partial Eclipse speakers. | |
| Cardas Golden Reference vs. Golden Cross we share a couple of things in common- KCV1 PC on source; Rosinante stands; and Cardas cabling (except I am all GC for IC's, and Hex Gldn 5C for speakers). Anyways, what you have sounds good. I tried GR and liked it, especially when mixed with GC ... | |
| Bearing Isolation "Arms Race" Begins I can't comment on the Aurios, however I can comment on your curiosity of the effect of isolation between bookshelf speakers and their stands. I use another product called the 'Feet of Silence' by Solid Tech (another bearing-type product) under CD... | |
| Classe CAV500 vs. Theta Dreadnaught I have the Dreadnaught, and will never sell it! | |
| Feet of Silence I use the Feet of Silence on CDP w excellent results- supreme isolation... | |
| Coincident Super Eclipse and amp power Kalan- I think Israel will respond and clear things up for you. Yes- the bi-amp setup (Altec 170 highly modified triode on bass; highly modified Golden Tube or equivalent on mids/highs) is a great way to go- power requirements more than covered, w... | |
| Adding Tub Preamp to HT setup ARC LS-16. Has pass through- worked great in HT/2-channel combo system while I had it. Can find them for around $2k used on Audiogon. Good luck. | |
| EAD Theater Master Sig. or Casablanca II Yes- EAD's new Theatervision? DVD/CD transport is supposed to be great. | |
| EAD Theater Master Sig. or Casablanca II I own the Sim Attraction (basically, an EAD Sig w upgraded dacs/analog section- they make the digital board for the Sim unit). Very full, smooth sound, yet with excellent resolution as well. If you get the EAD Sig processor, make sure you use a go... | |
| New BMI Whale Elite Power Cord Hey guys. Geez- almost forgot I had started this thread way back in February! Great to see their are still responses.Dekay- in the words of 'Bill & Ted (remember the movie? ) "a most excellent review". Seriously though- the Whale sounds great-... | |
| Best Mac tube FM tuner: MR67 or MR71?? Thanks everyone- sounds like either would be good choice! | |
| Best Sony XBR TV ever? Watjd- I will have to look at the model #- there is a '2' after the XBR (as in XBR 'squared' they were calling it at the time). Back in '94, it was ~$4k- I got a steal on it, 'cause Sny announced they were discontinuing the 'monitor-only' model. I... |
