| Bybee Slipstream Golden goddess speaker cable tail I have noted worhtwhile improvements when using them in conjunction with my Valhalla bi-wires and my newly acquired Pure Note Paragon Enhanceds. Increased detail and definition of subtle tones and textures are their strong suit. HTH! | |
| Siltech SQ28 mk II vs Purenote Paragon Enhanced I know this thread is mainly concerned with ICs but it just so happens that I am currently testing Paragon En. speaker cables against Valhallas. About a year ago I replaced my 10 meter QFil XLR with a similar Paragon, preferring its smoother, some... | |
| If $ was no object what speaker would you buy? My road trip would begin in Germany to experience the Acapella Spharon Excaliburs (closeout priced @ $325,000.). Then, it's off to California to be immersed in the new Magico Ultimates. And since money is no object, I'm going to specify them with ... | |
| Am I missing something here? As I recall, the rate of volume attenuation for dynamic drivers is 6db/meter and 3db/meter with panels. You're sitting approx. 4 meters from the speakers. Do the math and I think we can explain most of your loss. Also. I am not very familiar with ... | |
| Theta Data Basic II cd transport Reliability ? Knock on wood, I bought my TDBII new in '96 and nary a problem so far. For the last three years it has served as my secondary transport to the Accustic Arts Drive 1 but it still does get regular use. YMMV. | |
| Better interconnects than Paragon within $800? "...smooth, transparent, full and liquid with good soundstage..." You just reviewed the Paragons and don't even know it. Good job. | |
| Out of curiosity, where does everyone live? Just north of the Chocolate City. It would be so appropriate if George Clnton would come to town and kick off a relief concert. | |
| jewelers loop I'm thinking about a jeweler's loupe too. I haven't been able to see my stylus at all since '99. | |
| Bybee speaker cable "chargers" I have bi-wired Duos and run the chargers into the midrange and tweeters. I find purification to be more important and intelligible from the mids up but, without doubt, your bass will benefit from their application as well. | |
| best preamp ever - cost is no object What with Bob Crump's passing this may no longer be an option (at least new) but the CTC Blowtorch would be on my shortest of lists. | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Correction...make that "Sad Lisa". | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Cat Stevens "Lisa Lisa" and CSNY "Country Girl". To me, both are "achingly beautiful" and both impart a mysterious sense of yearning. | |
| 20 amp dedicated lines I'm no expert but I'd be shocked if the problem you describe would in any way be ameliorated by 20 amp feeds. Vandys are not lean in nature and Cardas is the antithesis of lean/thin sounding. Is there any chance your subs are hooked up out of phas... | |
| Any Nordost interconnect experts out there? I have QuatroFil XLR (10 meter) between amp and pre and QF XLR between DAC and Pre. I use bi-wire Valhallas for speakers. I would definitely put my best cable from source to pre. Whatever information you lose from the source will never be recovere... | |
| Anybody using Bybee DIY Quantum Purifiers? No problem, Fiddler. BTW how's everything going on the roof? |
