| Autos with stock awsome sound systems; Recomend? I like Levinson system in my Lexus. A friend just bought a BMW and the sound system there is on par. | |
| Pure class A amplifiers = "slow" amplifiers? Guido, I've always enjoyed reading your posts, but recently you have just been putting on a dog and pony show. you seem angry and seeking a reason to argue. When it comes to this hobby, everyone has their own perspective and own opinions. For some... | |
| Anyone settled in on Purist Aqueous interconnects? I received the 2 pairs of Aqueous XLRs from Cable Company today. Had a brief listening session with my current config of AZ Silver Ref MkII/Matrix Ref MkII of XLR ICs, teamed up with my PAD Aqueous speaker cables. Got a sonic imprint of the sound ... | |
| Pass Labs VS Classe I'm very happy with Pass X250.5 and N803. It is a very good combinaition. I haven't heard the older series vs the .5 amps, but from what I gather the .5 is a better amp.I don't think you can go wrong with the X350.5 or the Classe, but I would like... | |
| Pass Labs VS Classe Tboooe, 802D and N802 are pretty different sounding speakers. N802 is brighter and probably quicker sounding than the 802D. The diamond tweeter on the 802D is not as forward sounding as the N802's tweeter. there are more sonic differences as well.... | |
| Anyone settled in on Purist Aqueous interconnects? For the second time I'm bringing this thread back to life.I've arranged for a demo of Aqueous XLR interconnects from Cable Co. I will be getting them soon. I'll compare them to my current Acoustic Zen Silver Ref II and Matrix Ref II set up. Plus I... | |
| Amp Config for B&W 802D's forget MC402 with 802D. At least go for MC501 if going with Mac.I would also suggest to add Pass Labs X600.5 mono blocks to your list. | |
| Purist 20th Anniversary Aqueous XLR ICs Hi Hamburg. When you say revealing you mean more detailed? | |
| Songs about the end of the cold war / Soviets just curious...why? | |
| Best high current high power $5k amp for MBL 121 My preference is for natural sound as well. Pass Labs X250.5 that I own for 2 years now fits the bill. I listen to a wide range of music, anything from Metallica to Mahler. The Pass has no problems driving my B&Ws, although they're more effici... | |
| What is the best SS used amp for $1k or less? The older McCormack Deluxe series amps, like DNA-1 Deluxe, or even DNA-0.5 Deluxe. I think these amps would give you the sound you're after. Not the last word in resolution though(still plenty of detail, but on a smoother side of things), but I do... | |
| Adcom GFP 750: why spend more? I completely agree. It is an amazing preamplifier for the money and competes with much more expensive units. Let's not forget that despite the Adcom badge, this thing was designed for Adcom by none other than Nelson Pass! Enjoy. | |
| You favourite I like to listen to Cesaria Evora. She is from Republic of Cape Verde. Great singer. I recommend her greatest hits if you want to have an idea of her style. I also enjoy Ibrahim Ferrer's recordings. He's from Cuba. | |
| Warm Preamp I wanted to ask, when you say preamp with a warm side, you mean what exactly? Rolled off high frequencies? Emphasis on bass? Fuller mids? Or all this? I mean looking at your components, Rega CD player is on the warm side of neutral, Plinius 102 is... | |
| Shunyata Python versus copperhead for power amps I never compared Copperhead and Python cord, but compared Copperhead and Typan Alpha(pre helix) on an amplifier and the difference was obvious. Taipan was smoother, with better bass and more dynamic with better soundstage. Also, with Hydra conditi... |
