| Annoying Sibilance=digital glare? I've been breaking in the HGA interconnects also for sbout 3 weeks. they replaced AQ Emeralds in my all tubed system. Definitely know what you mean. The sound has gained in clarity, soundstage depth, etc., but sibilance is quite prominent. I proba... | |
| BESIDES MOFI WHATS THE BEST L.P.s? I've been consistently impressed w/ Classic Records and Analogues Productions also (the Monk box set from the latter is amazing). A bit put off by MoFi in recent purchases (low number pressings of the MJQ records), but most of my MoFi's are pretty... | |
| Record Cleaners-Which Work-Which Don't VPI mschine w/ Record Research Lab cleaning fluid. For v. dirty LP's, use LAST Power Cleaner first, then go thru the VPI. | |
| Power Snake Mamba vs. Synergistic Master Thanks. I just successfully bid on a pair of five foot Eels. Brian was indeed a pleasure to deal with. A down to earth, straigthforward guy. if the cords are half as good as you and other claim, I'll be keeping him busy over the next couple of mon... | |
| Power Snake Mamba vs. Synergistic Master Pops - Have you tried the EEL on your preamp or digital front end? Gmele - I would also be interested in the CPC 11...but I've ony seem one up for sale used in the last month..and it was gone in about a nanosecond. If giure for $ 20 -325, you can ... | |
| Sonus Faber Signum Suggest you post you question on audioasylum.com in the Speakers forum and asked a guy named Hyperion for help. He seems to know all there is to know about SF speakers. He definitely helped me out with my SF Guarneri's (which, BTW, are almost 5 fe... | |
| Power Snake Mamba vs. Synergistic Master Actually..let me expand my query a bit. I am looking to upgrade from stock cords throughout my system. Not ready to spend major $$ yet, so basically looking at the ~ $ 200 price range (used). I was basically looking into the Master Coupler, the Sh... | |
| home made speaker cable vs. the big boys Trelja - My amps are Aronov 9100 with the stock 6550 tubes. The preamp is a BAT VK5i upgraded to SE with the BAT ""Super Tubes"". | |
| TacT Room Correction System processors Plsl - Do they have a "viable" solution for analog? The only thing holding me back is that I listen to a lot of LP's and don't quite cherish the thought of the analog signal being digitized, "massaged", then converted to analog again. But..maybe i... | |
| home made speaker cable vs. the big boys Trelja/SDCampbell - I also purchased a pair of the Homegrown Audio Silver interconnects. I only got them this weekend, and haven't had much chance to listen to my system. How long would you say these cables took to "burn in"? Right out of the box,... | |
| Aronov Amplifiers - Opinions? Many thanks to all. Tom - I wish I could indeed audition the amps in my system. Problem is that there isn't a BAT (let alone Aronov!) dealer for miles around. In fact, no dealer for ANY tubed gear at all. So, looks like the only way to audition is... | |
| Pwer Cord For BAT Pre-Amp and Muse CD? Many thanks to all for your help. Will have chance to try the Synergistic Master Coupler in a couple of weeks, and will be on the lookout for the other suggestions on Audiogon. Tom - I just checked the BAT website last week and saw the news about ... | |
| Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles? Thank you all for you replies. Tom, I will reply directly to you via e-mail. I have known about Progressive Audio and almost bought a pair of ProAc speakers from them - but ultimately decided they would overwhelm my smallish room. A "pilgrimage" i... | |
| Amps: Bryston vs Electrocompaniet I use the 7B ST 's with a BAT VK5iSE. Wonderful combination. Have heard the EC in Europe, and though it was too "laid back" for my taste. However..different preamp and speakers, different room. I will only say EC seems to spend far more on "cosmet... | |
| Tube Preamp With Bryston 4B-ST Have beeb using the Bryston 7B ST's with a BAT VK5iSE. Wondeful combination, especially using balanced interconnects. |
