| Review: Ayre Acoustics MX-R Amplifier Curriemt11, a wonderful review, extremely well written and informative, however I had a different sonic experience with the MX-R's driving MG-20's.I found them quite good in alot of the areas that you mention, but compared with my Pass Labs XA-100... | |
| Emm Lab CDSA-Se vs Resolution Opus 21. Tabl10s, I would never discount someones personal opinion, however the Opus 21 is not in the same "sonic ball game" as the Emm Lab piece.Take a look at my thread entitled, Reference Dacs: An overall perspective for lots of information on the sonic... | |
| Running springs duke vs ? Digsmithd, in my system the Running Springs Jaco was sonicly superior to both the Hydra and Richard Gray units, with no sonic downside at all. If you want more details take a look at my review here on the GON on the Jaco power conditioner. | |
| Accustic Arts Hotbird, thanks for the heads up on the Boston Audio CD stabilzer. In my past experience, other CD tweeks, such as the De Mat from Holland, always took away something like microdynamics, slam, etc., even if they "smoothed" over the sound or made t... | |
| Accustic Arts Hassel, I have compared the Accustic Arts Combo to Esoteric pieces and find the AA to be much more musical then the Esoteric gear. Take a look at my thread, Reference DACS: An overall perspective, for alot of details regarding the sonic difference... | |
| Review: Stealth Cables Metacarbon Interconnect I now have an Indra followed by all Metacarbon in my system. The improvement in my system is quite delightful and still had to explain. These cables do improve on all the specific sonic traits, microdetails, space/air in the soundstage, extension ... | |
| Magnepan new 20.1R and older 20R, sonic? Terryakhan, I have in my system MG-20's and very seriously listened to MG-20.1's and found the difference between the two speakers to be very slight in all sonic areas. The only difference I could discern, maybe, was that 20.1's would play somewha... | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage Denjo, in my system I only have a FM tuner and my digital front end as sources into the Tap. I would say that 99% of the time the volume setting on the Tap is between 25 to 29 to get my total system to "snap" into total focus and present the best ... | |
| Any problem with a long power cord? Nrchy, I have in my system two power cords over ten feet long and found no defference in their sonic performance. Besides the cost factor, it was still less expensive then new racks or IC's, I found no degrading of the cords performance in any are... | |
| TVC + Altmann amp? Rockettiii, take a look at my review on the Bent Tap here on the GON for details regarding its' performance. Also, are you aware that for at least right now John Chapman is not building the Tap because of the stupid choice of S&B who used to p... | |
| Optical or coaxial - which one better for digital Tbooe, I never had a good experience with optical cables in my system, so I gave up on them along time ago. I would really recommend that you audition the Stealth Sextet, also read my review here on the GON, it's the best I have ever heard and I a... | |
| Cardas Vs. Acoustic Zen Mamhoon, I would not say that the Acoustic Zen speaker wire lacks warmth, it does not, it just offers what your calling warmth(liquidity/musicality) with much better details,macrodynamics, and extension then the Cardas GR.In my system I use Absolu... | |
| Accustic Arts Dev, I saw that you have your Accustic Arts Drive1-MK2 on sell here on the GON. Does that mean you got your Oracle 2000 transport already and thought it out performed the Accustic Arts Drive? Please share what has taken place if that is the case, ... | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage I would like to address a couple of different items with this post.1) In a past conversion with John Chapman, he shared that S&B was very annoyed that he would not jackup the price of the TAP for the North American market, so they could ask fo... |
