How to bi-wire speakers?
Good choice on amp and speakers, I own B&K M-200's and Dahlquist's, anyway, you can run either two separate cables like I do (pair for mids/tweets and a pair for the woofs),or you can get internal bi-wire which is terminated two leads at the a... 
transport for Chord DAC64
Fatcataudio, you're right on the money about the CEC transport, I just got a mint (rare black) TL-2X and could not be happier, except a good turntable of course ! 
Shunyata King Cobra V1 verses V2
I spoke to Grant Samuelson on these topics about the various versions. I happen to have two K/C V-1's on my trans/dac combo and completely love the sound. I tried a K/C V-2 from a friend of mine who has an analogue front end. I still much preferre... 
Short list of dacs for CEC TL-2X
Hi Sutts, actually my moniker was "thought about" before I had any idea Mazda was even going to bring their "own" into existance. Really when I saw the first ad for one, I was shocked, to say the least, a couple other people asked me your same que... 
Short list of dacs for CEC TL-2X
Rcprince and Sutts, you guys are great, always helpful, insightful and fun to read !! Thankyou, and the other three Goners, Essentialaudio, Hi5harry and Platsolos. 
Short list of dacs for CEC TL-2X
Rcprince, can I still get a non-transformer-coupled version from Jerry ? I remembered he had something to do with the Jadis dacs, but had no clue about the Thor dacs. I posted another thread on the DCC2 from Meitner a couple weeks back, but I gues... 
Short list of dacs for CEC TL-2X
Current dac is an Alpha 16/44 & a pair of NOS tubes, like the sound, but wondering about more openess, naturalness, slam and laid-back qualities. Analytical, more detail, upfront presentations are not wanted here. Sutts, Rcprince, Sean, you ot... 
CD/Transport W/ External DAC
I'll jump in and say I agree with Jayctoy and Lak, I just picked up a mint TL-2X, made a pretty significant difference in presentation, easeful, relaxed and smooth as silk, put a King Cobra V-1 power cord on it and talk about soundstage, this is w... 
Opinions on why this system is uninvolving
Bwhite, I don't mean to take this thread off track but I can say one thing, I've talked to you before on this digital issue and you sure know your stuff on good sound, regardless of $$. I really enjoy your "reviews" !! ...Pat 
Odyssey Stratus or Parasound Halo A23?
sstark, I'm the original owner of a pair of M-200 monos since 92, they're in mint cond. I outfitted them with two pairs of cardas output posts on each amp and two Shunyata Mojave P/C's, they sound fantastic,..... even if I get new amps, I'm keep'n... 
2 Classe ca 100's vs 1 Classe ca 200 ?
Drubin, I think the previous posts are saying that a more powerful stereo amp is better sounding in certain respects, than bridging two smaller or equal amps, however, if you have a pair of amps already designed as monoblocks to begin with, such a... 
1 million dollar speaker made by Kharma
If Stereophile gives these a REVIEW, I wonder what CLASS they would put them in.................................. A+ was the last one I saw. Anyway, I might get in on the 10% discount program as mentioned by Twilo, or see if I can spring for the 2... 
The Cat on the Amp
I don't think tube amps (esp.) without the grill cage would be too comfy !! 
Help My friend wants to go with some DQ-10s
Here's a Dahlquist model rarely seen, the DQ-30I's, I've owned them for nine years, and people come over to hear them and can't believe how good they sound, or look, for that matter. Captain, Sean & Elgordo have good ears, there's a special pr... 
I recently emailed John Atkinson of Stereophile
Maybe some Audiogoners ought to hook up and consider implementing a new section in Audiogon dedicated to component/sounds, comparison, system matching, from our own point of views and listening sessions, I know, sounds a little far fetched, but ke...
