| B&W Nautilus 800's vs my Tannoy D-700's ??? I had a friend ovr who own some Tannoy's. He has one of the 15" models paired with Mac 275's. I run tube amps with N800's. He was impressed, but stated that the midbass riffs stand out a little more with the Tannoys, but, he liked the imaging, hig... | |
| Audiophile Addiction Tholt, You only live once. "I sincerely wish you and I the best of luck." Same here. I have actually tried a new phono cable from Silver Breeze that I will be writing a review about in a few days. A great phono cable to say the least. Ciao,Audioqu... | |
| Audiophile Addiction Tholt, Hello there. I often get asked this. Too bad you have wrongly associated my moniker to equate to a relationship to Audioquest cables; in which case I do happen to like some. I can see where it could appear to seem that way, like a tattoo. T... | |
| Audiophile Addiction Everytime you have this urge to buy new tweaks, accessories or equipment, just give that amount of money to your wife, children or donate to charity! :)My wife makes her own money, so I spend on myself, so my money equates to my own satisfaction. ... | |
| What Is This Hobby? Playing with electronics and extracting the most enjoyable music reproduction that I can financially muster. I love tubes, cables, plugs, tweaks and other stuff associated with audio. very similar to my auotmobile hobby, racing, race rims and tire... | |
| Best Phono Cable for SME Series V Holy smoke. I received my Silver Breeze last week and upon initial listening impressions I have to say that the Silver Breeze is an excellant cable. Voices that were articulate before were even more pronounced and holographic. The effect is that v... | |
| zyx Airy R-1000 cosmos - vs Benz LP S ? David12, In regards to your comment: "It still shares duty with the Koetsu Onyx I bought second hand and retipped. That is a lovely cartridge too, but quite different."I would also like to add that the Onyx was my reference point cartridge and the... | |
| Which cost more: your system or your car? I can't quite figure out exactly (secretly, I don't want to know). I started modding my Corvette Z06 a while back with Katech Racing (famed Corvette racing team engine and chassis developers), heads and cam set ($6500). After that is was all downh... | |
| What percentage of audiophiles use a sub ? I have a B&W ASW 850 15" sub integrated with N800's. I use the Velodyne SMS-1 EQ and Rives Audio professional test measuring kit to make sure I was able to integrate the sub properly. Above all, my ears were the final measuring stick in which ... | |
| Anyone using Goldring Carts? I own the Transrotor Merlo Reference, a modified Goldring by Transrotor. Was my primary for years until I bought the Benz LP. The Goldring does not do anything wrong and will bring you many hours of listening pleasure. I guess it does not bet much... | |
| Power cord used with phono pre- amp? Hi Syntax, "Discussions about that are like rolling a dice ... :-)"True, so true. I think that we share the same reasonable thought process on this matter as well. Ciao,Audioquest4life | |
| Power cord used with phono pre- amp? That is a good point. I was once told by an electrical engineer who is also an audiophile, that he felt that the best upgrade path for the Neotech AC cables was to change the ends. He felt, and I do the same, that the internal construction of the ... | |
| Power cord used with phono pre- amp? So far I have used an HMS, Audioquest, Bryston, NeoTech NEP-3200 with Oyaide P079, Harmonix X-DC Studio Master Power Cord, stock, and Pangea 9 and 14's on an Aesthetix IO Signature. I am still using the Bryston power cable. All of the others do so... | |
| Why three motors? I have a Transrotor Apollon with three motors but the arrangement is different. The belts actually fit on a grooved slot on each motor that corresponds with a grooved slot on the magnetic bearing assembly on the bottom of the platter. My platter i... | |
