| Anyone tried Kharma cable,suppose to be the best ? Cable wars.....this is all very entertaining....i agree with Fred....cable is very system dependant. in the last 6 months i have had the HMS Grande Finale, the Siltech Compass Lake, and the Kharma Enigma (just finished) in my system (among other c... | |
| Review: Nordost Valhalla Interconnect Jadem6, nice review. i went thru a similar comparing period a year or so back and came to similar conclusions as you. i have 6 sets of Valhalla interconnects in my system and completely agree with your comments. the Valhalla is a truely neutral ca... | |
| Opinions about Kharma Speakers Haydn, i guess i may not need to tell you what i think about Kharmas. i did hear from Jonathan that you will be joining us on Saturday. i'll have the Exquisites all warmed up.i'm in Jackson Hole this week and kinda out of touch. i had to drive int... | |
| Best live album you've ever heard? for pure sound quality combined with performance magic the two that stand out to me are the 45rpm Classic Records reissue box sets of "Belefonte live at Carnigie Hall" and "the Weavers, 1963 Reunion". these are not rock and roll but will simply gr... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole 24/192 too foward and bright? Stenersr, i have had the AA Capitole 192/24 Mk.1 in my system with Valhalla interconnects and had absolutely no brightness, forwardness, or edgyness whatsoever. the Valhalla is "said" to be edgy in some systems and has some silver in it (oh my god... | |
| Amp Upgrade - 3k to 4k used? John, you might consider the Rowland 112. i know it is solid state but i owned one for 6 months and was very impressed by the top to bottom musicality and lack of ss etch. i am a tube guy (Tenor 75Wp monoblocks) so that is where my heart is but at... | |
| Vinyl's Noise Floor consider how science and industry deals with isolation and "noise". at a laboratory or precision machine shop much effort and expense is expended on these issues. nothing is left to chance. reading the groove of a vinyl record is just another tech... | |
| mbl 101d speakers suck Bill Gates (yes, that Bill Gates) has these speakers in his living room; he didn't choose them (he has a tin ear), his interior designer choose them for their appearance. they are certainly one of the most visually striking speakers out there.i ha... | |
| Anyone have their Audio Aero Capitole MKII yet? hi Bad, is it in only one channel or both equally? maybe a loose connection? i would try one channel at a time and switch things back and forth to isolate the problem. normally impedence would only affect dynamics and frequency balance and not add... | |
| Burmester 001, comment please? hi Dinan, i have been curious about the Burmeister 001 and appreciate your comments, thanks.i do have a question as a Linn CD-12 owner. you comment "the 001 has a great DAC and surpasses almost all single box players (read CD-12)". do you mean tha... | |
| Anyone have their Audio Aero Capitole MKII yet? hi Guys, since my dealer knew i had the Linn CD-12 to keep me company, my AAC v.2 is in the 2nd (or 3rd) batch....i'm told it hasn't shipped to me yet. with all the folks that have been "doing without" i guess that's only fair.it is interesting to... | |
| Linn CD-12 vs. Audio Aero Capitole 24/192 Stanford, version 2 of the Capitole 192/24 has just been released in North America; there may be a few in Europe that are broken in but mostly i've heard feedback on the prototypes. so it is probably too soon for a Capitole v.2/Linn CD-12 shootout... | |
| Levinson 33h or 336? Rjr1, Last year i switched from the Levinson #32, #33 and WP6 to tubes and different speakers. before i had the #33 i had #332 and then #33h. i had also demoed the #336.the #33h is definitely a step up from the single-chassis models of Levinson, g... | |
