| TransParent Cables vs. Others I've found that all above comments are true about Transparent, but that the real magic starts at Reference and above. I know it's silly money, but in my opinion worth the price for what Transparent does so well. | |
| Help with TT recommendations. Your system would certainly be capable of resolving a vinyl upgrade. I love my Rega 25 600 and glider combo on ARC Ph3. It's got a lot of the magic vinyl is capable of, and blows away some pretty expensive digital I've had in my system, including ... | |
| Sophias vs. Revel Studios Sophias are small but soundstage like large speakers a la Watt Puppies with more musicality (vs. wp6). May not have the ultimate level of detail and low, low end but are pretty close to the 6 ( I haven't yet heard the 7's). They are probably one o... | |

| Standard Def Reception on an HDTV set The picture on a non digital set will be better with non HDTV signals. I just purchased a new house that had a built in cabinet for the tv and actually ended up getting one of Sony's last analog flatscreens and it was far better picture on Satelli... | |
| Best Concert DVD Wvick Zooropa is on LD and you're right it's very very good. I'll buy it on DVD also when/if it comes out due to LD limited life. Want to watch that one for a long, long time.Dave Matthews Listener Supported. Wish their live albums were that good.... | |

| What speaker goes well with Rowland Concentra ? Magnepan, Legacy, Wilson | |
| Meadowlark owners Well, they're internally wired with Cardas. That could be a good match potentially. The hot rod is internally wired with Tara cable. Also, I had good luck with Transparent Reference but that wouldn't be considered budget as the cables cost more th... | |
| high-end vs. ultra high-end amplifiers Dazzdax = A very interesting and controversial post. Can you elaborate and edify us what comparisons you did with what gear? How did you come to your conclusions? In what specific areas did you feel certain amps bettered others? Were you listening... | |
| Very Best of Fleetwood Mac CD Just went to pick up this CD but thought about returning it after reading Megasam's comments. I decided to open it, and am amazed at how bright and hard sounding this disc is. The original was much smoother. Digititasmigraine....Original releases ... | |
| Very Best of Fleetwood Mac CD Bob Ludwig? He did the same thing to Bruce Springsteen's new album, The Rising. How about Doug Sax, who remastered all the Floyd stuff, or Steve Hoffman. Tubes, baby Tubes | |
| Krell and CJ? I didn't think so-I guess you could get an adapter? | |
| My Next Miles Davis Disc? For fun, try TUTU. Ambient, electronic, a little funky but very interesting. My gateway drug to the world of audio-I just had to buy those speakers after hearing this! I would also say that Amandla is also worth checking out. Good stuff-miles fift... |
