| advice for interconnects & spkr wires Some excellent wire is offered by Alpha-Core (Goertz) in both silver and copper. The Micro-Purl silver interconnects are exceptional value for the dollar, and they also have an excellent speaker cable in the copper M-series. Go to their website fo... | |
| Goertz cables- any feedback? Been using Micro-Purl ICs for past 6 months and was quite pleased until I had a chance to audition NBS Monitor IVs. More of everything, particularly stage width and depth, great dimensionality of images, more "air" and layering, tighter focus and ... | |
| Anyone compared Accuphase anything else? We own the 55--in our system it's hard to beat. 65 basically is 55 with card options. Have heard the new 75V 24/192. Absolutely stunning, but serious money. Would own one if I could. | |
| Best ever made & sounding CD transport ? Take a listen to the new Accuphase DP-75V 24/192. Then listen to the Sony or Marantz SACD players. | |
| Best musician in the world? Trelja, Davis (in his many iterations) is always at the top of our jazz stack; add Burrell, Webster, Coltrane, Montgomery, etc., etc., and we're just looking at jazz. So much music, so little time. Good listening! | |
| Sensitive ears to speakers. Help!!! Eton in Germany. Try'em, Carl. You'll like 'em. | |
| Best preamp for Conrad-Johnson Bone, I'm running the MF-2500 with the 14LS. I auditioned the 17 (updated 14) and while it's nice, I don't find it improved enough over the 14 to warrant the purchase. I am, however, moving toward the purchase of the 16LS--more of everything (incl... | |
| Best musician in the world? In what category? | |
| Why is everyone selling thier Powersnake The latest ________ is always better than an older ________. Isn't it? | |
| Anyone Heard the new Powersnakes? Anyone heard the new __________? It's greater than the last new __________. | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? Gee, Skull, that's interesting. Have you heard an excellent 24/192 system? | |
| Sensitive ears to speakers. Help!!! For all you soft dome addicts, listen to an Avalon speaker and tell me they're hard on the ears. Front ends make the difference in most any speaker, soft or metal dome. Garbage in, garbage out. | |
| Whats a good tube preamp? Had a run of ARCs, auditioned the BAT 50SE against my c-j 14LS and the new 17LS--the BAT was a bit aggressive for me. Have auditioned the c-j 16LS and feel it has everything I need in our system--more transparency, even better mids, more bass clar... | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? Listen to the new Accuphase 77V 24/192 playing Red Book CDs, particularly remastered 20-bit, XRCD, etc. Then tell me how great the SACD-1 sounds. | |
| How Cool Is My Wife! While my wife, a musicholic like myself, is a heavy contributor to our system with both bucks and comment, she claims it's basically "a guy thing"--she doesn't care how many ohms dance on the head of a resistor. She just wants to hear music reprod... |
