Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect
Guidocorona,it was my pleasure to share my postive experience with the new AZ cables.Even though their more expensive than the Silver Reference II's they made enough of a sonic difference in my system that it would be hard to go back to my old ref... 
Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect
Rsbeck,I hope that Lrsky has no regret posting what he did to give you a chance to get back on this thread. Even though your personnal veiwpoint about AZ's website has nothing to directly to do with what this discussion is all about,if it gives yo... 
Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect
Guidocorona,the way Mr.Lee made it sound to me was the major expense was the new and different dialectic/insulation materials he uses in the Absolute cable. He did not mention anything regarding the metals used in the cables when explaining the hi... 
Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect
Guidocorona,thanks for sharing the information regarding the type of metal used in the Absolute cables. I also talked to Robert Lee early today and he also shared he went from a teflon to an "air" foam material to insulate the cables. I'm no engin... 
Anybody traded in Pass amps thru AV Logic?
Overhang,you have nothing to worry about regarding your 2000.00 investment in going for the 250.5. After audtioning the 350.5 against a Edge NL-10,you could look at my review here on the GON, the improvement over the original X-series in the new .... 
Differences between magnepan MG20, 20R, 20.1
I believe I have my facts right,Sscot1961,so here is the information you are looking for. 1)The difference between the MG-20 and a MG-20r was not a structural change in the panels but revolved around an upgrade of the passive x-over.2)The differen... 
Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect
Rsbeck, I find it hard to believe,sharing this with respect to you, why you would find it so hard to accept that even if you have a system that already functions at a reference level of resolution that it can be brought to even a higher level with... 
Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect
Wow Rsbeck, it seems to me you want to pin me in an either/or position on the older AZ cables in comparsion with the new Absolute wires. Either there was something wrong with the previous AZ cables or the Absolute wires are qualitatively different... 
Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect
Guidocorona, that's a great question which I cannot answer.In my response to Resbeck,I shared I don't have that type of technique information but that being the type of gentleman that Mr.Lee is, he has always taken the time to talk to me on the ph... 
Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect
Rsbeck, I think you took my comments out of context in my review. What I would call the house sound of Acoustic Zen cables in general is very musical and yet detailed etc.,so the Absolute cables are an evolution towards the standard of real music.... 
Speaker cable suggestions
I would suggest you try out Acoustic Zen Satori which offer many virtues with little downside sonicly. Their just about at the upper limit of your budget new but are often offered used here on the GON for less money. Hope this helps. 
Review: Acoustic Zen Absolute Interconnect
Guidocorona, when I did my original lengthy audtion of different wires a couple a years ago, AudioQuest was one of the flavors I did listen to. I do not remember which specific cable I tried, it was towards the high end of their line, but found it... 
Can you ever go back and be happy?
Pbb, I'm quite curious about your reliability problems with your MG-3.6s. The Maggie owners,including myself, that I know have never experienced breakdowns with the exception of having to replace a ribbon tweater now and then through normal wear a... 
Mid-priced warm sounding DAC?
I would strongly suggest you audtion a BEL CANTO DAC2. A audiophile buddy just went through an audtioning process and purchased a demo unit for under $900.00. It upsamples to 24/192 and is warm and musical but still detailed and has very good dyna... 
Review: Pass Labs X350.5 Amplifier
Hello Ipy, thanks for liking my review of the 350.5. As you know from the review, I use a Placette dual mono active line stage in my system. However, as far as I know, there should be no difficulty in matching most passive preamps, regarding volum...
