| Preamp question: Mcintosh c500t vs Einstein mk2 Wrm57: Relax. Just because I did not trot out my sources of information does not disprove what I said. It is free to try the connections both ways. My point was to make people aware of this and suggest they check it out. Maybe you should, too. | |
| Teo XLR Tbg, the ParaHelios (aka Reference) cables are very expensive, however your statement is not correct. The 2m pair of speaker cables demonstrated are $28,000, while a 1m pair of RCA interconnects are $15,000. The Standard series cables are far less... | |
| Preamp question: Mcintosh c500t vs Einstein mk2 Joe, it's a no cost exercise to try reversing the speaker cables, and your speakers should tell you immediately which way is correct (fuller and more distinct). A while back I visited a client with a large Mac integrated amp driving Avalon Eidolon... | |
| Preamp question: Mcintosh c500t vs Einstein mk2 When using Mac in a system be sure to check polarity such as by swapping + for - on speaker cables, as very frequently Mac inverts polarity. | |

| Anyone compared Gryphon Poseidon to Alexandria's? Bigpond: That's more like it! I haven't heard the Poseidons except briefly at shows, so cannot comment. Another speaker you may wish to consider is the Rockport Arrakis. | |
| Anyone compared Gryphon Poseidon to Alexandria's? From the look of things your room is small. I see no way Poseidons would work in it and think the Alexandrias are cramped as well. Before you spend another dollar I strongly recommend a larger room with proper attention to acoustics. | |

Preview of CES and THE Arrived back from Las Vegas yesterday morning and am extremely pleased with how it went for us in Room 4036 at the Flamingo, which I helped set up and worked most of the time.The system consisted of Sound Lab loudspeakers, Atma-Sphere electronics,... | |
| Best new Liquid conductor technologies-Audio Magic Since the topic of liquid conductors has been brought up again, it is fair to point out there are at least two other manufacturers of such products. Cerious Technologies has been making cables with liquid ceramic conductors for a few years. Teo Au... | |
| Anyone try the new Parasound Phono Stage? Just today I was informed the first production run of JC 3s has shipped. I accepted a customer order and anticipate the first shipment around the end of next week. | |
| Anyone try the new Parasound Phono Stage? @Thesoundhouse: Yes, it's a Curl design. Don't expect it to be in the same league as the Vendetta. It will be interesting to compare them side by side here, though.@Buconero: Just because AS jumped the gun doesn't mean it's available. It isn't. | |
| Anyone try the new Parasound Phono Stage? The JC 3 is not yet available, although a finished preproduction unit has been shown. The JC 3 is in production as I write this, but the first such unit has not yet arrived. I have followed its progress from the beginning, with ongoing information... | |

| Rockport Altair version 2 ? Enzo, you are asking about a very advanced product. I suggest contacting Rockport for more information and auditioning the speakers. I am sure Andy Payor will give a lucid explanation of the changes and why. You might also contact Koegz who is reg... | |
