| Purist Audio Colossus / Nordost SPM I agree with that position, I just wanted to post the opinion of a good friend. It is well known here at Audiogon how much I am biased in favor of Purist products. They are literally the only cable in my system. Even my Soundlabs speakers are wire... | |
| LAST???? Has anybody tried this? Agree with Jack and Detlof | |
| Purist Audio Colossus / Nordost SPM A good friend of mine just did a similar comparison in his system consisting of Aesthetix preamp, Wolcott amps and Soundlab M1's. He preferred the Nordost top of the line to (my loaned to him) Purist Dominus.I do know that Purist is about to relea... | |
| Beyond SACD with Redbook: Price No Object Mikelavigne, excellent post with great insight to your thinking and system preferences. I must say I wish more than anything that we were in the same city. I and others in my audio group appear to have a great deal in common with you when it comes... | |
| Your choice of EL34's Zaikesman, your observations are no doubt correct. As with all electronics, the end result of various tube tests, whether output or input variety, vary depending on the gear.I performed the same test with the Svetlana tubes that you did, only with... | |
| Your choice of EL34's Kevziek, a few years back, an amplifier manufacturer friend of mine bought tubes direct from Russia. These retailed for about $18.00 at that time. He and others in my audio group joined orders and bought 300 of them for about $3.00 each. I assume ... | |
| Your choice of EL34's That would be nice, especially if you mean Western Electric. They did it right, but it wound up costing hundreds of dollars for the new version. | |
| Your choice of EL34's Zaikesman, if you could somehow persuade the importers of tubes to spend the bucks and allow the Russians (or whoever) to build a line of tubes equal to the best of NOS, I would be ETERNALLY grateful.Unfortunately, their concern is more with produ... | |
| Beyond SACD with Redbook: Price No Object Cwlondon, I will catch heck for this comment, but in a test in my own system the Sony SCD-1 and the Sony ES 9000 were more a personality issue than a real performance issue.In the deepest bass, particularly classical music, the SCD-1 does go deepe... | |
| Acoustic Treatment or Cable Upgrades? You will just have to search the various audio sites and wait until some are available. I recently had a guy offer ASC Tube Traps for $75.00 each. Probably due to the fact that I paid cash and he did not have to hassle with finding boxes and shipp... | |
| Free turntable speed check strobe Gundam91. If your question concerns the free strobe disc, holding a neon lamp near the rotating lines while playing it at the proper speed will make the lines appear to stand perfectly still.If the lines run backward you are too slow. If they run ... | |
| Beyond SACD with Redbook: Price No Object My take on this is that every post here is correct in some way.Redbook CD is the format for right now, lots of software and availability of the latest releases. Makes sense for those who are digital as an only source to get the best they can from ... | |
| Opinions on the Bose 901 You are so right. At least there is not a room full of drunks sitting at tables staring at us. | |
| Opinions on the Bose 901 Well at least with no chains there won't be any weak "links" in the system. | |
| Beyond SACD with Redbook: Price No Object Good grief Twl, your post makes WAY too much sense. There is bound to be a fight break out any minute now.For what it is worth, I do not doubt that the comments from A Sanctuary of Sound are honest and correct. Ultimately each of us must decide if... |
