Gregg Straley Reality Speaker Cables
As we created and perfected our unique "Reality Cables" we learned quite a few "tricks and tweaks" that we have not seen used by any other cable manufacturer! Our goal was to create a conductive transmission line that was more transparent than any other current design offered on the market (regardless of cost or technology). We realized we had very lofty goals, but you've got to have a target, right? As we tried many ideas used by some other well known cable companies, we soon realized that too many designs are just decent sounding cables with some unique feature and rely more on "mumbo jumbo" marketing and the "look" of their design then actually creating a "wonder cable" that exceeds all other designs.
Zybar thanks, reading some threads my understanding is the Dodd's bass has also apparently been improved.
I am going to place an order for the Bent Tap line stage, a friend recommended it, he uses a Placette pre.
Are you familiar with the Bent Tab pre line stage?
If I go this ruite the Bent has balanced and rca so I can still use my current cables and only have to add one rca cable on to hook-up to the Moscode 401HR.
If the Moscode 401HR and Bent Tap work with my Eggleston's that would be a really simplified "wife friendly" set-up.
George, you no what led me to this thread. So you had the Bat 600 and Dodd 120 and prefered the Moscode 401HR over both. These were two others on my list to listen to and very respected as well.
In reading one thread which was in depth pertaining the overal sound characteristics of the 401HR it refers to the bottem end not being that great which concerns me because this is a must for me.
I am trying to match up with my Eggleston Andra 2's, they need a iron fist to control the bass properly. I have read some feed back from other owners of Andra's and mentioning Dodd 120's being amazing and controling the bass like the best of solid state amps do. I have also heard that the Bat 600 is supose to be a pretty amazing amp.
Your 5A's are likly alot easier to control the bass then my Andra's.
Have you heard the Andra 2's not original one's, the 2's are in a whole different league?
I don't know if you read any of my other threads but this is for a second system, not my main and has to be "wife friendly"
Big mono block set ups just won't be happening but it's a big room and I want the best sound that I can get. I am wondering if the 401 will run out of gas.
