| Best system for opera lover at $30,000 PS Garfish, you won't learn about real music systems just from reading magazines & books! You're better off not quoting them if you want to be taken seriously. rgds, david k. | |
| Best system for opera lover at $30,000 Fusilli, I suggest you bow out of this responsibility. Your suggested system is not for any true music lover. Its for audiophiles who're more interested in hifi than music. From all the posts here, Snoopdog's the only one with some wisdom, even if... | |
| plinius 8150 vs goldmund sri2 I have the 8150 and am really wondering what all fuss is for. It has a bloated image, very unmusical sound, and crosstalk between every channel. I personally prefer the musicality of the cheaper YBA integre DT. I have not heard Goldmund's sri2, bu... | |
| Goldmund 36 vs ML 31.5 vs CEC TL1X I have a CEC TL-0, a Mimesis 39++, and the ML 31.5. Out of the three I like the CEC best. Its more musical and detailed than either the 31.5 and the Goldmund. I haven't compared the new TL-1X to either of the above, but in the past I've heard the ... | |
| XLR/Balanced problems??? Hi Phil, There's nothing wrong with your equipment! The differences you're getting between the XLR and single ended cables are standard. I often do tests with the same cable, between the XLR and RCA versions. Mostly I get similar results to yours.... | |

| Thiel CS7.2 and Levinson amp and preamp I owned the ML33s up to a year ago. I fell in love with them the first time that I heard them, 4 years ago. I was using a pair of CS 6es with my ML33s and the ML32 which I purchased last year. I have to admit, as much as I liked the 33s, I never e... | |
| Who knows about Kharma Ceramique 1's I have no idea what the rest of your system's like, but the Ceramique 1.0 is the most coherent and neutral speaker I've heard in years. They just disappear in you room and totally get out of the way. The rest depends on your electronics. Unlike ma... | |
| what preamp for ARC VT 130? For best possible results, you need the best tube amplifier out there; The Lamm LL2. The LL2 is truly the most musical all tube preamp currently made, and it doesn't cost an arm or a leg either. | |
| Ultimate PreAmps-CAT SL-1 Ultimate vs. ? I really have to say that the Lamm line stages are the best out of the lot. You won't go wrong with either the L1 or the LL2. I used to own a CAT mkIII, with a CJ Premiere 7 for a few years. Around a year and a half ago I upgraded my whole system ... | |
| power amp fpr Audio Physic Virgo Hi Adam, Best power amp depends on your budget. The Virgos are wonderful speakers, you will get your money's worth if you spend enough on a first class amplifier. For proper recommendation, let us know your budget and musical tastes. I'm not sure ... | |
| tube amps and electrostatics You're better off not using electrostatics or ribbons with your amp. Besides wattage, this type of speaker needs an amp with high current delivery capabilities into difficult loads. You ought ot look elsewhere. Proac Studios is usually a good matc... | |
| Single ended VS Push-pull The differences depend on the brand of products that you're looking at. In case of Cary for example I concur with Joebar's opinion, but if you look at a company like Lamm, the story is different. They have a killer push/pull amplifier which is amo... | |
| Best speaker for 6 grand max. I know where to get a demo pair of Kharma Ceramique 2.0 for about $6000. Contact me if you're interested. rgds, david k. [email protected] | |
| Pro-Silway or TruthLink You can always benefit from better cables, no matter what, unless you're trying to use them as tone controls. If you can afford them go with the Pro-Silways, this way your cables won't become obsolete the next time you upgrade your system. rgds, d... |
