| Have cables become somewhat of a snake-oil topic. Snake oil? No. Buyer beware? Yes. I use balanced cables. Can I hear a difference in balanced ICs? Absolutely. The Mogamis are really good. Each has to decide if spending 20 x what the Mogamis cost for a slight difference is appropriate. Personally... | |
| Coincident Dragon MK I vs MK II I couln't agree more. The Promethius is a champ at its price point but the CSL offers a lot more, as it should for 2x the price. But I have to say, I think the CSL is so good that it also is an outstanding value at its price point. Imaging with th... | |
| Coincident Dragon MK I vs MK II Jimmy,I couldn't help but cuckle a bit by this statement you made above---"My MK2 Dragons would sound very identical to the Franks though i never got the same goose bumps as i had with the passive preamp/Franks combo."I bought your Promitheus Sign... | |
| New preamp experience Markus, I don't know how many times I have said "The madness has to stop somewhere." No sooner do I get the words out of my mouth than a new piece presents itself, that represents a substantial step forward. The good thing is you get to the point ... | |
| New preamp experience Charles1dad, Exactly! I have not had the opportunity to rotate other high quality active preamps into my system in order to evaluate their ability to deliver on the attributes I value most. Now that the CSL is in place, I have no motivation to run... | |
| New preamp experience I am also very pleased with my recent purchase of a Coincident Statement Line Stage. It is proving to be pretty much everything I hoped it would be. It is an interesting experience when one adds a new component that is a special piece in absolute ... | |
| TRIP TO TORONTO. WHAT TO DO... Please, everyone knows Pittsburgh is the arm pit of the universe. I visited Toronto once and enjoyed the stay. I thought it was nice, clean, safe, with plenty to do. The people were nice and helpful, plus, where else do they have coal black squirr... | |
| Aging and Treble and Income? If one reads the AG forum regularly one can't help but notice the frequency of members seeking advice regarding how to tame an overly aggressive treble and combat listener fatigue. I'm not quite sure why this is not getting through to the people w... | |
| Aging and Treble and Income? I read once that Wilson speakers have become more accurate with respect to timbre as a consequence of David Wilson expending substantial effort in visiting the worlds major orchestras.I suspect this points to the root of the problem more than a de... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Charles1dad, I have a good 100 hours on the CSL now. Much to my relief, at this point there has been absolutely no aberration in tone or timbre and the the CSL is just dead silent. Dynamics, as expected, is much improved, but not at all in an unna... | |
| Mozart Fans Only Schubert, well said. In view of all of this, perhaps the name Wolfgang Gottleib is an appropriate name for my dog after all. | |
| Mozart Fans Only Schubert, wow, amazing. What is it with dogs and Schubert? | |
| Mozart Fans Only Frogman, I have a Shetland Sheepdog named Wolfie after you guessed it, Wolfgang Gottlieb Mozart himself. Short of stature and a rather large nose. The dog that is. Now this dog loves music, especially Schubert's chamber music, as evidenced by his ... | |
| Mozart Fans Only Learsfool, LOL. Now, if someone can explain the operation of zero dimensional quantum dots, I will be quite impressed. | |
| Mozart Fans Only Tostado, Rott was a fellow student under Bruckner with Mahler. I understand Mahler held him in very high esteem and was greived by his unfortunate illness. |
