Used monitor under$600 with good bass low levels
Soliloquy 5.0. Great microdynamics if you decouple from the stands. Terrific bass if you pull them well out from the back wall. 
Nordost flat line cabels vs norse series
Mjordanas,No I never tried the Frey. I have had the experience you did with a couple of higher end cables (an interconnect and a speaker cable). Being kind, they seemed too revealing for me or my system. I took them back. Nothing like paying too m... 
Speaker shock absorbers
This is a bit older thread, but I thought I'd report some successful findings. A few months ago I aquired a pair of Soliloquy 5.3i floorstanders. Great speakers! I'd been trying several types of footers to get the best balance, musicality, clarity... 
Good entry level cd?
Used Audio Refinement CDP. Change the power cable and it sounds great after that. 
Nordost flat line cabels vs norse series
I can compare the Blue Heaven and Heimdall interconnects. The Blue Heaven had the most airy high end I'd ever heard in my system. Other than that, the Heimdall beats the pee out of it in every other way.I tried alot of interconnects. The Heimdall ... 
Looking for power amp with warm, smooth sound
Audio Refinement Power Amp. Multi-2 or Multi-3. 120 watts/ch. Butter smooth. Great bass power. Really. Much less than $1200 used.A couple for sale here, and I have one mine is for sale on Audio Circle. I'm going Class A low power route now. 
AES-3 MKII
Its my first tube component, but I can tell you I like it quite a bit. Haven't rolled any tubes yet, but I get such good extension, imaging and tonal color that I don't have any desire. 
Bi-wire v's single with jumper leads.
Biwiring has not sounded as coherent each time I've tried it. Single wiring for me. 
Speaker shock absorbers
On the topic of Vibrapods. You pick them based on the weight they are to carry. If you want the speakers to be stiffer and the sound tighter, you can just increase the number of pods under each speaker. Under my monitors (four #2 vibrapods under e... 
Help Please....Interconnects...Silver vs. Copper?
I love my Noedost Heimdall IC's.Chris 
Is Nordost Frey IC similar to Heimdall?
Ask the dealer for a discount on the Heimdall. 
Audio refinement complete?
I have Soliloquy 5.0's and I love them. If you are anywhere near NYC you should buy the 5.3's floorstanders here on Audiogon with the newer drivers like mine. If I could get up there, I'd be all over 'em. If you do get a pair of the 5.0's, I can g... 
Audio refinement complete?
My speakers are 88 db. They are monitors and I utilize diffusion more than absorbtion so my room is fairly lively. I've played my system very loud many times, but I have yet to clip the Complete.This may be in part because the amp has very satisfy... 
Audio refinement complete?
Fantastic combo in my opinion. I'm not sure I would call it warm, but very exciting, holographic, colorful, and with great bass. Somewhat forgiving which may be what you're after. Very affected by different cables. 
European Speaker Price Increase
The American dollar will make a comeback with the Euro, but not with Asia.
