| Unreadable CDs: unscientific testing Thank for the great post, Sean. Like Detlof I'm glad I read on. I actually tired the auric illuminator on a disc when people were visiting. One guest shook his head and said if you told me this I wouldn't believe but I heard it from the first note... | |
| DVD A Sacd or Stay put for a while I second that. When my cd player dies I'll probably replace it with a sacd player.....as long as its redbook playback is also very good....I do think 2002 will be the breakout year for sacd...also,I expect the software will have to drop in price t... | |
| Acoustic Zen cables with vinyl front-end Rjwood. Are you asking about Acoustic zen on amp to preamp besides the speaker wire? If so that is my set-up. I run ixos ixotica on the cd as this cable worked better than red dawn, vanden hul lst or 2nds on my player.....the acoustic zen matrix o... | |
| What kind of power needed for Martin Logans? Hi,Argent. I've heard the Martin Logans, a line I've always liked with the sim moon amps using E.A.R. preamp and the arcan fmj23 cd player.....the moon really likes the logans and is a great match...., I love the lucious Martin-logan midrange...yo... | |
| Symposium Roller Blocks vs Aurious under SACD ... Ckturtle....Do you have any pieces of styrafoam laying around? Try the rollerblocks on about 2" of styrafoam first and see if this helps....it may or may not give you what you want but it should change the sound and won't cost you anything...just ... | |
| Symposium Roller Blocks vs Aurious under SACD ... Subaruguru, where can I read some info on the neuance shelves? I'll hunt around in the archives....thanks in advance.... | |
| Why can't more high end make an all purpose DVD player?? Is there any more info on this player? Does apex have a website? These universal players could be very interesting. But at present they are quite expensive......thanks for the info, bluenose | |
| Any experience with Newform Research speakers Hi Sunnyjim. The newforms are for real. I own an early model, the r-8's 2's. The newer 645's would be their replacement model.....once you hear good ribbons it is hard to go back to box speakers.....Have you checked out the topic here in the archi... | |
| AudioPrism CD Blacklight I have one but only use it once in awhile....works better on some cd's and some sytems than others. You have to be careful placing it on the top the cd. It can get displaced if it is not well centered. I much prefer to use the auric illuminator. B... | |
| Combinations that exceeded your expectations? Hi, Rrgordon. One evening 6 years ago a friend from peak audio, dropped in with a ugly little single-ended triode preamp, the N.E.W.p-3. He had brought it over as a lark, to try on my simaudio 4070. The speakers were newformresearh, sim pre, vande... | |
| Best all Canadian system Very respetable products all. Might I add Newform research? And for the buck, axion speakers. Meadow Song Labs,and correct me if I'm wrong here but isn't Wytech also Canadian? Their preamps and amps are tube heaven. If you can get any of these sec... | |
| laid back, warm interconnects with tight bass clean highs Madisonears, I agree with your suggestion of the siltech. I've hear generation 3 a year ago in my system. A friend brought over his interconnects and even with red dawn speaker wire the system simply made music I had never heard. Siltech can bring... | |
| SACD : why ? Two things worry me. One, Joe public doesn't even seem to know about dvd-a or sacd.....it hasn't hit like cd...and the price of the music will not allow joe public to support it. Something better and cheaper could derail both super formats.....I'm... | |
| help me select a single tube to "calm down" a preamp? Have you tried Kevin at upscale audio? www.upscaleaudio.com? This chap really knows his tubes and recommended a mullard for my SL-1 after I sold it to a friend...I'm sure there are others who know their tubes but Kevin comes to mind.....good luck ... | |
| Who knows about ACOUSTIC ZEN? I own the acoustic zen satori speaker wire and matrix interconnect. I had previously been using red dawn and in my system the zens have a very good match with sim, krell newform research gear....the zens, are robert lee's design after leaving harm... |
