| Audio Research pre-amps? ARC sucks. Sad you have to hear this but it sounds like you understand. I've tried them as I've worked for an ARC dealer. They're smooth but tinny. Right? | |
| Can a tiny silver bowl affect music reproduction Tgb, yes the SR bowls. Perhaps you are correct about the power of suggestion. Just reading through this threat again makes me want to pack a tiny silver bowl. | |
| Can a tiny silver bowl affect music reproduction One can understand how to set up systems extremely well. If that someone adds an esoteric product and sets it up even better, is it the product or the ability to understand room dynamics really well? I've been in a few of these rooms and even help... | |
| Nordost Vahalla or Tyr II The 2 series is more warm/liquid while being even more detailed. I agree with Xti16's assessment on the cables. It depends on personal preference. | |

| Where are the female Audiophiles? I don't think so. | |
| Where are the female Audiophiles? I can come home from work and my wife might be dancing to music that hurts my ears via the recording. I agree with a few comments that it's 90% the lyrical or emotional content and 10 percent the gear. So is there consensus that there is less chan... | |
| Totem Element Metal vs B&W 803d? What is your budget? None of those speakers don't sound good to me either. They are well built and awesome but you are looking for more. | |
