marantz cr603 now single wired problem sorted sounds awsome

[audioaddict]

i now have my 603 single wired and wow what a difference. i managed to find the jumper bars for the cm1s cheap 79 strand cable and set to speaker a the sound is now powerful detailed and deep sounding. i also have not touched the tone controls so now i will listen for a week and hopefully keep it, thanks guys for all help given. :wave:

Good stuff. How amazing a small tweak like changing cables can make. Enjoy.

It was changing from bi-amp that made the difference.

Try using some short lengths of your 79 strand cable instead of the jumper bars and see if that improves things even more

So could the monoblocs not be connected without bi-amping?

Just pointing out that it was changing the mode of operation from 'bi-amp' mode to single wire (menu/other/speaker setup/speaker A) that made the difference and not a change (or 'tweak') of cable brand as you wrote.

I know - I was asking a separate question: Can monoblocs be re-configured, rather than bi-amping?

The only thing missing now... need to see some pictures of your new bundle.

Glad it's all worked out for you!

Just shows that sometimes it's simplest solution that works best.

Though I've still not figured out in my head why you needed different speaker wire to achieve it.

 

[audioaddict]

Yeah i think sometimes simpler is better . i will try and post a pic on here i can see me enjoying this more than my audiolab monoblocs though dont get me wrong, my audiolabs were high quality though as i said many times before for the money i didnt enjoy the system like i should have so im hoping the relatively small outlay for this will put a smile on my moosh

 

[audioaddict]

sorry major just saw what you wrote about the speaker cable . i only found the jumper bars this morning so maybe i can put my silver anniversary bi wire cable back in and leave the jumper bars in and leave the system in single wire mode, though to be honest with a system at this price im not sure how much difference it would make but might be worth a go.
