| Help with VTL TL 5.5 Preamp Istanbulu Ed: Thanks for your suggestions. I've got great cables throughout my various systems. I know the sound of those cables very well. For the Tranquility SE DAC, I am using dB Audio's own Essential Cable, but I am certain that the cable and ... | |
| Help with VTL TL 5.5 Preamp Jylee: Thanks for your thoughts. Those same thoughts haven't passed me by as well.As far as the CJ goes, I simply like it... kind of a nostalgic or sentimental thing. I am very aware of its limitations, even after some upgrading. Still I like it. ... | |
| McCormack DNA .5? Do I need more power? Hi Jedinite24: I have two pairs of Dunlavy speakers: SC-II & SC-III. They sound very different from each other in my opinion. I like them both fine. Both models image superbly. The IIs are 2-way and are very dynamic; the IIIs are 3-way and are... | |
| Help with VTL TL 5.5 Preamp Jd_df: Thanks for forwarding the email from Steve McCormack.I'd never really doubted that the McCormack amps would provide a synergy problem. The particular McCormack amps I am using are extremely revealing, so moreover, I've been wondering about ... | |

| McCormack DNA .5? Do I need more power? Hi: Yes, I really like the McCormack DNA 0.5 / KEF 104.2 combo. I've owned 3 pairs of 104s over the years. I really love that speaker. Even after I moved on to other speakers, whenever I've run into a good deal (deal that cannot be refused) on a s... | |
| Devore Gibbon 3XLs: anyone have these? In addition to the DeVore Gibbon IIIs, I also have a set of Spendor S-20 speakers that are a similar profile - two way design both with 1" tweeters, and the Spendor mid-bass woofers are a little bit larger than the DeVores. The DeVore speakers are... | |
| Devore Gibbon 3XLs: anyone have these? I have a pair of the Gibbon 3 speakers that are the predecessors to the 3XL. These are front ported speakers, which may have been either a special order or a limited production. They were again upgraded by DeVore in August of 2006. They sound fant... | |
| Music vs. Components After reading through these various posts, it seems that truthfully, audiophiles really listen foremost to their components/gear hoping to hear them sound musical. Since this is very subjective, as long as the listener likes the sound of the gear,... | |
| Music vs. Components Gawdbless: Wouldn't that be "ear-gasm"? | |
| Music vs. Components I wholeheartedly agree that the music comes first and is the reason for the whole ordeal. Much, or even most of the time, I am listening to THE music. I love the idea of "losing all consciousness" of the gear and just have the music wash over me i... | |
| Smooth sounding copper IC like Kubala Sosna Hi Pani: I've had extremely good experience with the MAC Mystics. I've tried many different cables, and I keep coming back to the Mystics. The price point cannot be beat, and I feel that they keep up with just about any cable. If you want more inf... | |
| bedroom system need quality at low volume I've really been enjoying a pair of DeVore Gibbon 3 monitors in a small office room as a 3rd system. Amazing range, very flexible in terms of placement and great sound. The model 3 comes rear ported but can be special ordered as front ported from ... | |
| Which inexpensive ic's cables worth checking out? HI Mekong56: I have used both the MAC HC & the Burley. They are very different animals in my experience. It seems like the HC has a distinct "personality," and I happened to like it... after comparing it to many other PCs. Some don't like the ... | |
| Which inexpensive ic's cables worth checking out? I would also like to throw my hat into the ring for My Audio Cables MAC cables. I have had a great experience with them throughout. Personally, I believe that they compete head-on with cables at just about any price. I have tested them against a v... |
