Flat spkr cables: Nordost Red Dawn or Alpha-Core Goertz AG2
Can’t really attest as to the Red Dawn’s sound as compared to Goertz. ...I CAN tell you that I like the Goertz sound in the systems in which I have heard it.Goertz is an excellent $ to performance product. ...Especially when compared to other “hig... 
24/96 upsampling vs. 24/192 upsampling vs. no upsampling?
This reminds me a lot of videotape or film. In video there are 30 frames per second. If you try to improve this image (using the original 30 fps) it can only be assumed that you MUST be adding (THAT which was not already THERE to begin with).One c... 
Biamp? How does this work?
Bi-amping works - AND WELL!By "HOW" I suspect that you mean "What is happening (re bi-amping) that is different than using a single amp with greater power...?"The amps work more efficiently - each amp reproduces a limited bandwidth - as opposed to... 
Balanced or SET Which one is more musical? Need help
Your question has been posed many times previously in various other threads.To answer your question: balanced or not is highly component/system/preference dependant. Some components are designed with the intent that they be run balanced. These com... 
Speakers with
Quite frankly I am a bit surprised to hear what your saying. I have heard very positive things about the Shearwaters & tubed gear.It’s my recollection that the Shearwaters are very efficient speakers, so I’d think that amplification is suffici... 
Speakers with
You mention two separate issues but intertwine them: presence of midrange/associated warmth, AND pace/rhythm. These are two distinctly different aspects of reproduced sound that I think need to be addressed separately.Pace and rhythm - what makes ...

Hi abecollins,I am not against technology. In fact I very much like it.I have listened to, although not extensively Mp3 recordings of “good” quality. I was able to listen:a) Through my own DAC andb) In a recording studio environment through profes...

In case anyone is not aware the Betamax reference refers to Sony introducing superior technology to JVC (VHS) and then being too greedy to share (license) it to competitors. ...So greedy it cost them the mass market. ...Yes! Beta was and still is ...

Conduct on Audiogon
Hi again Bink & others. ...Sorry for the verbal diarrhea, I did get carried away in my last post. …My excuse is that Audiogon's response felt SO wrong that I had to vent. Reason being is: While I applaud Audiogon for responding so rapidly I qu... 
Conduct on Audiogon
For all intents and purposes an e-mail response stating: "YES I will accept your offer" is analogous to a deal closing handshake. …In this sense a cyber-handshake, as it were. The response confirms agreement that a deal has been struck in principl... 
best cd player for 2500- 3500
I'd say Sim Audio Eclipse. I really love mine, and you can't beat the value of the Canadian dollar! ...If I had to pick something else I'd up my budget and get an Accuphase DP75v. If used is where you're looking then that Levinson 39 certainly isn...
