| Vincent SV236MK Dry and bright? Thanks for the quick responses.I do not think underpowering is the problem here, the Liuto monitor is much easier to drive than older Sonus Faber models.I've owned the Guaneri Memento and Auditor M in the past, the GM was very difficult, the Audit... | |
| Acoustic Zen wow bright? I have no experience with the Wow ic but did own all AZ interconnects from the Matrix and up. None of them were even remotely close to bright, even slightly on the warm/rich side of neutral if I had to chose one side. I can not imagine the Wow to ... | |
| Acoustic Zen Silver Ref. II vs Absolute IC's That's of course not to say the HiDiamonds sound like the Absolutes, but better. It is a different cable that sounds different like all do. But it is a cable that is up there with the best in terms of technical/audiophile traits I've had, on some ... | |
| Acoustic Zen Silver Ref. II vs Absolute IC's Ow yes I did!Did take years of searching but found everything I am looking for in the new HiDiamond line.Could place a small review here of the differences but do not want to hijack this thread.All I will say is, I can now listen "around" an instr... | |
| Acoustic Zen Silver Ref. II vs Absolute IC's I owned both about 1 year ago.To me the Absolute sounded more round/organic than the Silver Ref II, and had a more solid and extended low end.My macro dynamics in the end were stunning with AZ, I only don't remember if that started after buying th... | |
| Wadia internal switch Thanks!It was very easy indeed.Setting 2 was enough :) | |
| Is revealing always good? Completely agree!I think it can be achieved.Choose your gear carefully, combine well and your system can be extremely revealing whilst remaining easy on the ear and a pleasure te listen to.Bad recordings won't sound so bad anymore, much will be re... | |
| Running All Your Cables with The same Brand I think it is dependable on the situation and total sum of all cables and gear used.Some brands certainly have a cumulative effect on certain qualities when used as a complete loom and there are always cable brands that won't combine well with ano... | |
| Muffled voice in the back of stage? Zd542, thanks for your reply.Yes of course they do, but still the problem only is there with a certain mic angle.I have done a lot of experimenting lately with switching gear to find out where the problem lies, but to no avail.My room is not symme... | |
| Muffled voice in the back of stage? Well, the strange thing is.It is also very obvious when watching movies.For instance, when I was watching Master and Commander this week, and after the opening scene the crew is speaking to each other on the deck, the camera and mic taking differe... | |
| Audio Physic Virgo 25 vs Avantera I have only heard the Avantera's on a show, but do own the Virgo 25.In my system they sound anything but lean, not even close.They sound very rich, expressive, smooth and throw a expansive soundstage.Their detail is just amazing and am making grea... | |
| Audio Physic Virgo 25 Although the Pass can turn to class A/B for more power, almost never ned it.But my room is not the largest. | |
| Audio Physic Virgo 25 I do not own a tube amp at the moment, but am driving the Virgo 25 with a 30 watts class A amplifier, (Pass xa30.5).It is in full control of the Virgo, extremely dynamic, very big soundstage in all dimensions and superb grip in the deepest lows.Im... | |
| Acoustic Zen Absolute cables with Wilson Alexia? About a year ago my system was wired with the Absolute silver interconnect and the matching speaker cables.I also owned the Guargantua II power cord.In my system they sounded very dynamic and full, with an almost playful musicality that served all... | |
| Anti-cables Level 3 v. Acoustic Zen products Well, if statistics of these posts mean anything, Acoustic Zen will be a safe choice.But the next person might just like the Anti-Cables |
