| cal. audio lab delta Pro-ject - Jays - then Rega. But a better DAC and a few modifications to the Cal is where I would venture. | |
| Maggie 1.7i's lack detail. Ideas? here you go, send you components to me for upgrades. Better than any cable, component, room treatment you can find. | |
| Are there speakers that disappear regardless of the recording? Nah it is in the equipment not the speakers. Speaker design helps but we made old AR 510 box speakers disappear. Your equipment has to be up to the task. | |
| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? @bvdiman - I have to laugh because we just finished rebuilding and upgrading an old FM Acoustic power amplifier yesterday. Wow did it sound good. Right up there with the old HK XX power amplifier as two of the best SS amps I have ever heard. ... | |
| Aerial Acoustics 10T vs Talon Khorus AND sounded like they measured: super colored. For a while I had the monitor version to check out and I literally thought they were broken they sounded so "off." Interesting comment above. I did not own the monitors but I never thought the Kho... | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... is the preamp/amplifier sound debate now over? Most everything has a signature sound characteristic. Every resistor and capacitor has their own sound. That also goes for transformers and chokes. Even the chassis material has a sound. So they a... | |

| Unity in cable manufacturers? it is system dependent Happy Listening | |
| Pierre Lurne - Audiomeca @prolonga not is a while now no response to my attempts. | |
| The Best Preamp is no Preamp? Like everything - depends on the preamp. | |
| Great speaker sounds terrible in my room? I did not read everyone's comments but the one where you are asking why would the amp/preamp be an issue. They don't always match that is why. Kind of like a recent speaker a manufacturer sent to us. We build components but the speakers we rece... | |
| Would appreciate a group consensus on Agon purchased amps What type of cable do you think you would have received? 16 or 14 gauge? Ebay about $10 each for six-foot lengths! If you are buying used equipment and you don't ask specific questions like do you have original box, do they come with a manual, ... | |
| PrimaLuna tube amp issue Either send it in for a repair or find a local tech does not sound like a major issue |
