| Opinions on Audio Research LS17 & LS26 Dpac996, I regret I didn't change out the power supply caps on the LS-15 though. I should have replaced those Nichicon caps with some Black Gates. Could have been even better!Ackman00, see www.percyaudio.comI purchased capacitors from this website... | |
| Classical 2 die 4...top 5? My go-to classical recordings are:1)Mahler - Symphony No.5 conducted by Riccardo Chailly with Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra(London cd). I actually heard this performance live at Carnegie Hall last night...Leiptzig orchestra conducted by Chailly. S... | |
| Opinions on Audio Research LS17 & LS26 Ackman00, Interesting comparison between the 2 preamps. I wonder what the dealer thought about it.As a side note...if your LS-15 has captive power cord, it probably also has the yellow REL caps. Replacing the REL caps with TRT Dynamicaps was a hug... | |
| How significant is a power cord upgrade? FERRARI, good link. I have a Pass Labs amplifier and I'll be honest, I have not found earth shattering improvements with an aftermarket power cord with this amp(power cords tried were up to $700). However, it is not the case with ALL amplifiers an... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Leica, Precision Reference? That is an expensive cable. I haven't considered it.It's not like I don't like the thought of the bi-wiring with the "jumper", I still like the sound of the PAD Anniversary Aqueous speaker cables better in my system. Th... | |
| Opinions on Audio Research LS17 & LS26 Dpac996, I agree. I think the comparison of LS-15 to LS-26 is meaningless. LS-15 is 3 generations older and 1 model down in a product line. LS-26 should have been compared to LS-25MkII instead of LS-15.BTW, there's going to be a review of LS-17 so... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Scottyw, agreed. Excellent cables. However, I ordered a PAD Anniversary Aqueous bi-wire instead. In comparison, the PAD does for me a bit more than the Tesla Accelerators, plus the other thing that influenced me to go with PAD instead is the way S... | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage Drubin, please post your impressions once you are done evaluating.What I meant by solid state is that the tubed linestage I am now using, if I replace it with TAP, then it's a solid state system pretty much. My cd player and amp are solid state. I... | |
| kimber cable bi focals xl speaker cable Bi-Focal XL is very good. Also try Purist Audio Aqueous Anniversary. Both very dynamic. I had AU24 and ordered the PAD Aqueous after comparing the 2 cables. If more dynamics, detail and slam is what you are looking for, then either the Bi-Focal XL... | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage Drubin, may be not, but the tube linestage I am using now will no longer be there between the cd player and the solid state amp, which pretty much makes the whole thing solid state as far as I'm concerned. | |
| Opinions on Audio Research LS17 & LS26 I've read the review. Thanks. | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage Teajay, yep...I did just that! John explained how the unit blends into the system and what is needed for it to work best. So far it seems like it will be a good fit with the components I have. It should work well with my amp, X250.5, since the spe... | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage Teajay, in order to use the TAP, what are the required specs from the associated components like source(cdp) and the amp if running balanced? | |
| Opinions on Audio Research LS17 & LS26 Mcrheist, could you please mention how the LS26 was better than 25MkII? In what way? thanks a lot | |
| Best Balanced interc. cables for powered monitors Good list. I would also add Acoustic Zen Matrix Ref MkII and Nirvana S-L. |
