| Best bargain for speaker that can offer top sound I third the Magnepan line of speakers (had the 1.6 and now have the 3.6r). The one problem (if it is a problem) with them is that the money you save in buying the speakers is needed on upstream components because of how revealing the speakers are. | |
| CES / THE Show I had a chance to do some listening of the new Sonus Faber Elipsa speakers at CES. My initial impression was that they were somewhat dull and lifeless. Then, one of the demonstrators changed albums on the turntable and all of a sudden the speaker ... | |
| levinson 336 Jim, where did you send your 336 for a tune-up and what did it cost. I have a 334 and may, in the future, be interested in doing the same. Thanks | |
| Silver Cables with Lamm M1.2 amps I think you should also audition the pranawire cables - uniformly great reviews and no-one seems to be selling them used - I know, I've looked. You may also want to audition the Silversmith cables - the silver are excellent and the palladium are e... | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? Mmakshak - I have had the APL3910 for about two weeks now. It has all the latest upgrades including the AKM DACs. Right out of the box it sounded pretty darn good. I have only about 15-20 hours on it now and recently listened to Miles Davis Kind o... | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? From my understanding the leap of faith has been gradual. Initially, people purchased Alex's APL 3910 and were quite impressed at its performance. It gained kind of cult following among some audiophiles who said it outperformed all others at its p... | |
| Personal CD player evolution Back in the late 80's I had a Denon, sometime around 2000 I picked up a Meridian 506 20. I am now awaiting delivery on an APL 3910. | |

| Best low cost speaker cables for my system? With the length you need you might want to give the Home Depot power cord a try. There are numerous threads about them on the AudioAsylum website and they faired pretty well against some much more expensive name brand cables in a shootout. | |
| Personal CD player evolution Just got back into the hobby 5 years ago and bought a Meridian 504-20. Right now I am eagerly awaiting the delivery (late June) of an APL 3910. | |

| Anyone heard Audio Magic Illusion 4D Speaker cable I forgot to mention that I currently have Speltz anti cables (best bang for the buck) and have auditioned Synergistic Research Resolution Reference (disappointing), Transparent Ultra (too warm/sweet) and Acoustic Zen Hologram II (very nice but not... | |
| Need 10 foot cable for Audio Magic Stealth XXX Jay, thanks for the Signal Cable suggestion. Did a little research, checked prices (just under $100 for 10 foot power cord) and realized I could not go wrong with at least trying it out so I ordered one. With the money I saved, I'll be ordering po... | |

| CJ LS17 vs ARC LS15 Rooze, I purchased my Amperex 7308s (white label) from Tubeworld (www.Tubeworld.com). They were not cheap - I believe $750 for a set of 4 NOS tubes from the early 1960s. They were well worth the price - the difference was amazing. Check out "Joe's... |
