| Warm to Neutral Speaker Cables under $800? Cardas Neutral Reference definitely tamed the highs in a previous system. As my system changed, so did my cabling. | |
| Best cdp with integrated preamp and remote? There is a Resolution Audio GNSC modded player for sale right now. A very good price for this analogue-like player. I own one of these myself! Highly recommended, and great value! | |

| Can someone give me an explaination re: power amp. This may, or may not be of value, but my experience with Simaudio Moon integrated amps is that they don't come 'alive' until 20 steps of attenuation. I was using Totem Sttafs and really couldn't get much out of them until I turned up the juice a b... | |
| Whats your current Reference CD at the moment? Cat Power- JukeboxThis a covers album which is recorded in a very intimate setting. Plenty of nuance and sound stage. A very tangible recording! | |
| sibilence in right channel on occasion I would also check that your speaker drivers are torqued correctly. Snugging up the screws on several of my speaker's drive units has alleviated small issues. I had this issue with some vinyl as well. I adjusted the azimuth and added a better isol... | |
| This is a silly hobby. Well, my speakers cables cost more than my wedding band. My amplifier costs more than my wife's wedding ring. I'm not sure any audio expenditure can be quantified. If you really want to grimace, think of the money you've spent on automobiles, and ... | |
| Anyone using Lavardin? As I'm sure you're aware, speaker choice is critical with the Lavardin. An easy load with sensitivity upwards of 89db is best. I have used (and have for sale) the IS Reference. At 30 watts it was a good match with both my Reference 3a De Cappo I's... | |
| virtual dynamics new ultra clear interconnects So, has anyone heard these cables in their system yet? I'd like to hear your subjective opinion if you have. Anyone??I may just have to order some and see for myself! | |
| The Bad Plus - where to start? Yes, I would definitely start with 'these are the vistas' or 'give'. These are my favourites, with Prog coming next. Definitely avoid the new 'for all I care' as it is cringe-worthy with the exception of a few tracks. There is also a live album; '... | |
| Audience au 24 cables. E version Have you searched the forums here? I think you'll find your answer. I purchased the originals as they were half the price at the time. | |
| Made in Canada conundrum Whoa! Where did this thread go wrong! Down boys!The same problems with duties, taxes, tariffs, delays can be had from both sides of the 49th. American made products are just as difficult to repair and return for Canadian owners, to the USA. This i... | |
| VPI phono cables. Is there better synergy? Do you have a VPI deck? | |
| Totem Sinew vs Acoustic Zen Matrix ll?? I had the totem Sttafs and sim audio amp. I used the Sinew interconnect and speaker cables. I swapped them for Cardas Neutral Reference which I felt was better at the time. I have since changed equipment and cabling. My take on the Totem cables is... | |
| High frequency noise from Totem tweeter I had a pair of Sttafs which had the driver mounting bolts back out. You should try to tighten all of the bolts holding the drivers as well. I also had a banana plug which would rattle under high frequencies as it did not have a tight fit in the b... |
