Opinions of people who have OWNED Adagio's
I have had a pair of Adagios for a year and a couple of months. As has been commented before, they need a fair number of hours before they really come on song. I would suspect that more than a couple of pairs have been sold before being properly r... 
Dk MK2 owners and there tube choices.
Hi there! I am a former owner of a DK MKII and I bought a fair number of tubes to try in the unit(around 10 pairs). My favourites were some Rayethon branded Siemens & Halske 6DJ8 from the 60's. I also enjoyed the Telefunken E88CC and Mullard E... 
looking for the best music CDR's
From what I understand, Mitsui are the best for overall quality and longevity. I have used these for mastering purposes and have had great luck and no issues whatsoever. Otherwise, the Taiyo Yudens are supposed to be a safe bet as well. I have als... 
LFD Integrated Zero MK III
I have recently gotten my hands on one of the last MKII's that was kicking around new in box. Not sure exactly what the changes are to the MKIII but given how long the list was to get a MKIII, I figured it was worth a shot. My original plan was to... 
Acoustic Zen Adagio break-in questions....
I would classify the break in experience as painful with this speaker. The pair that I auditioned sounded quick and open, effortless. Not so with mine when I unboxed them. Constricted would be the best way to describe it, just off overall. Without... 
Acoustic Zen Adagio owners/re: amplification
I have used a DK Designs VS.1 Reference MKII with good success and have recently aquired an LFD LE II integrated which is doing an outstanding job. I had read up quite a bit on what others were using and it seemed that many were using tubes but I ... 
Great Digital Cable With Locking RCA Ends?
The reason that I am looking for a locking end is because my microphone preamp/A/D converter(modded Grace V3) is running facing straight up which means that the coax out is facing straght down. As the bag is moved from place to place etc. it seems... 
Von Schweikert synergy
Just to throw my .02 in here, I found that the DK Designs Reference MKII works extremely well with the VR4JRs. I believe that they paired this amp with the VR4JRs for some trade shows. I brought this amp into a number of shops to listen to various... 
Wilco on Austin City Limits
I caught Wilco twice this year, once at Massey Hall in Toronto and once at the Fox theatre in Detroit and both were in my top 3 shows of 2007(out of 50-65 that I saw this year). They are really at the top of their game right now and have honed the... 
Best Jazz and Rock & Roll HDCD CDs
Beck's Midnite Vultures is HDCD as well and it sounds excellent. I'm not a fan of his music at all but that one is a solid listen. I would also second the David Grisman catalog, great music and great recordings. I would also recommend Ron Sexmith-... 
Arcam Owners...
This is interesting to hear that someone has just replaced a CD23 with a Benchmark DAC1 as I am in the process of doing just the opposite. Perfect example of how everyone's ears are different and how you really have to plug the gear into your own ...
