| BAT to BAT - What's Best? Kubala Sosna ?I keep hearing form time to time about these wires... but as yet have not heard them at all. Are they similar to anything else? Pricey? | |
| BAT to BAT - What's Best? John,I understand. that's what I'm talking about. I see this whole she-bang as an experience... and I do see both sides... as i have lived both sides. With & without remote flexibility.my issue is simple impaitience, or the inability to relega... | |
| 'Racks'. Important? Best bang for $$? Continuing to pursue this effort I saw some print online about "pARTicular" racks. Racks that can be upgraded after the fact. Entry level units aren't exceptionally high priced... but surely no give aways. the man sold his plans for one rack syste... | |
| BAT to BAT - What's Best? John, yes, he's a Calypso dealer. Knows my tastes. We were speaking of a VAC pre at the time too.I think it'l be worth looking into though at any rate. Quiet is important to me. I'd be willing to sacrifice some dynamic thrust for a greater sense o... | |
| BAT to BAT - What's Best? John...same Stereophile article ... previous paragraph... under the header "Cooking" " but in my system for those days, the combinations of the two MF pieces or the two Aesthetix pieces didn't do justice to the music or to the system or to the in... | |
| 'Racks'. Important? Best bang for $$? Douglas_schroeder ...nice looking rack. ...and good point. I've thought about that as well. time and materials add up. however my time is compensated by the end product. Consequently the energy in formulating and generating the exercise have more ... | |
| BAT to BAT - What's Best? John, the illuminations are super. I did see the newest BAT SS pre at their site... though nowhere else. Nada. Absolutely, warmth and a touch of tubeyness is my prefference in sound in general. For where I want dynamics, old school rock and so for... | |
| BAT to BAT - What's Best? John... whoa! that sure shed some light on things for me. I do trust your judgement. I do dig the mids I have now. Extremely enjoy the grand Ss too... one that can, envelope you at times depending upon the recording. there's not much of the sound ... | |
| 'Racks'. Important? Best bang for $$? RE drilling/counter sinking... hence the drill press aspect. And the use of pilot holes in incrasing diameters.RE measure twice cut once... that's why they call me Mr. Nubby... but I was drinking back then.Re wood blocks were simple little footers... | |
| BAT to BAT - What's Best? trust me, I'm way past shame. Not even a big part of my venacular.That's right... you did have one, but your's had some problems. Maybe the sound was affected in some subtle way also? regardless, that's NOT what I want really.I want two things fro... | |
| Most expensive Audio disapoinment? I liked the Elcasset. thought it would really take off. It didn't. Even after a second try... then it was called a DAT. Well, they looked alike.Preceeding that foible was the off shore invasion of the "Quadraphonic" receiver and eight track player... | |
| BAT to BAT - What's Best? Thanks John... but yeah, if it ain't broke, why fix it? My lightspeed like movements in swapping out gear can likely be attributed to the thickness of my wallet more than anything. however, I feel a lot of really good devices are out there... and ... | |
| 'Racks'. Important? Best bang for $$? Mbacinello thank you very much... I did a search online for Cambre and found a review that had it and several others in sort of a shootout. Still Points, Symposium Isis, and others I don't recall. Here's the link for the HTML version:http://209.85... | |
| BAT to BAT - What's Best? Actually, I got the Syn Res Refs back in Sept 2006. It took me nearly five months to go through ten sets or more of ICs prior to making the choice. I could well have lived with a few of them too... Shunyata's Altairs, the SX's, or VooDoo's Ultrali... | |
| 'Racks'. Important? Best bang for $$? Osgorth I do appreciate the input. I think racks are way important. however, given the influx or lack thereof, the input to the posed question, I'd have to say most audio nuts see racks as they see acoustic treatments. Last on the list, or very ne... |
