| Pass Labs Power Cord Tvad, thanks.In my system the results were similar. On CDP and preamp, aftermarket power cords are more beneficial in my system. But I still do want to try that ESP Essence Reference. | |
| Pass Labs Power Cord Tvad, I'd be surprised if Volex sounds like Dominus. It definitely should not, considering the price difference. But then again, if there is a difference, is it worth the price of admission? That's for you to decide. However, please do let us know... | |
| Pass Labs Power Cord Armandito, I have tried Shunyata Taipan Helix Alpha and Audience on my X250.5I don't know how your X350 responds to power cords, but my X250.5 shows a very slight difference between a $6 Volex cord and a Shunyata or Audience. The sonic difference ... | |
| Clarinet concertos anyone? Psacanli, my pleasure. Unfortunately there isn't much for clarinet music in stores. Most of my CDs were purchased online through amazon. I also like youtube. As a matter of fact, run a search on youtube for Sabine Meyer. There is a brief intro for... | |
| Rowland Model 6 + b&W 804s a good match? 04-04-08: RaquelUsing Model 6's with B&W 804's would be a mismatch -- Model 6's are among the small handful of finest solid-state amps ever made, while B&W 804's are at best an average hi-fi speaker. Model 6's deserve really high-end speak... | |
| Tube Pre-amp BAT, ARC, EAR, Sonic Frontiers sell it and try something else. | |

| Norah Jones a tinge short Interesting thread.Obviously tastes differ. But for me there is no deniying, from a musical point of view, that Norah Jones isn't anything special as a musician, singer, song writer or anything else. There is very little complexity, texture, emoti... | |
| Bi-wired vs Single Termination stick with a well known and reputable brands. | |
| Can pass labs ax160 macth b&w 802d ? If you're talking XA160 prices and want a Pass Labs amp, the X600.5 monoblocks would mate much better with 802D than the XA160 would. Just my opinion. | |
| Bi-wired vs Single Termination B&Ws are better with biwire speaker cables. Try to get a true biwire cable, like Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun or Kimber Bi-Focal XL. Why are you limited to only Audioquest cables? | |
| Anticables Review David99, do I think audiophiles are dummies? Certainly not. But what I do think is that audiophiles tend to get too excited too quick when judgement(I'm guilty of it as well at times) is impaired. This is when hype starts. I didn't mean to offend ... | |
| Anticables Review Don't they offer a return policy? Return them if you can even if it will cost you shipping and restocking fee, consider it a lesson learned and move on. Get yourself a nice speaker cable. Within the same budget I would tell you to get a set of Aud... | |
| Your Favorite Classical Music Recordings J_evege, your intentions are good. I understand. But the problem with classical music is that it is an endless subject. Honestly I would not even know where to begin answering about what my favorite classical recordings are. There are at least 50 ... | |
| Clarinet concertos anyone? No doubt Benny Goodman was great.Benny Goodman comissioned Copland to write a concerto for him.Also, premiere of Poulenc's Clarinet sonata was given at Carnegie Hall by Benny Goodman with Leonard Bernstein. I'd be interested to know of any decent ... |
