What Would You Do?
Stehno - I have to ask you a question. On many threads, you suggest to people they try the Odyssey products yet you have also posted that you've never heard them. This doesn't make sense to me. What's up? ...I'm just curious. How can you post thin... 
Cable lengths
Okay... so what is worse, coiling one speaker cable or having one side shorter? 
Audio Magic Stealth pc experiences.
Blazter, Seems like you'll be having a fantastic time!! Looks like you have a plethora of outstanding power cords to try with the Stealth(s).From the sheer number of PC's you have, it seems that the condition of your AC is important to you. I woul... 
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
Dekay... now that that's over - sorry everyone. The OTA is working very well in my home theater system. I have 20' runs going to my rear speakers and it seems to be fine. I was initially concerned with the length but it appears to work in my appli... 
Solid Core Power Cord
Congratulations on your preamp! Mick says that about interconnects, tubes and yes.. power cords too. Having owned a couple Suprateks, I can tell you that you should think twice before spending big bucks on the cord for this particular preamp.The p... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
I had my remote "fixed" finally and it unfortunately makes some noise. Even when other remotes are used in the same room, the new Supratek remote chats. Perhaps its the board or the way the remote was implemented by the repair guy that causes the ... 
Verity Parsifal Encore or Wilson Benesch Act 2 or?
The Wilson Benesch Act Two's are easily among the finest speakers in the world - but then again so are the Parsifal's. I own Wilson Benesch and have enjoyed them tremendously. But that enjoyment hasn't made me forget about the Verity's. Prior to m... 
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
Ivo - thanks for the introducing yourself. I appreciate it and it's a pleasure to meet you.. :) Perhaps my statement was too strong in suggesting that as an unregistered Audiogon user your posts were not credible. I do believe that registering, as... 
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
Whoa! While I would have enjoyed giving Sead a piece of my mind after reading his post, I felt that my unabridged response to him wasn't appropriate for this forum. I restrained and thus settled on simply letting him know that I was offended by hi... 
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
Sead - I am actually quite offended by YOUR comment and less offended by Ivo's. 
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
Hi Slawney - Thanks for cheering me up! For a minute there I thought I needed to sell the LAMMs and look for something else which might be good enough for the OTA. What do you think? Are Tenors good enough? :)Let us know what you think about going... 
Has anyone heard the Shanling CD player?
The first Shanling owner in the US recently placed his CD-T100 up for sale on Audiogon. I believe he had it for less than 2 months total. Upon receipt he did a review on Audioasylum and said it didn't quite compare to his Cary CD player - then fol... 
CD Player Recommendation
Seriously - check out the higher end Sony SACD players like Stehno mentioned. I've seen NEW XA777ES units online for only a few bucks more than your budget... or you can get them for even less used. The XA777 sounds a bit different than the older ... 
Is the Mephisto II reliable?
To answer your question, yes - it is reliable. I too found the tracking control annoying, simply because I had not seen that feature on any other CD player. I don't know why they added it but I can honestly say that while I owned the Mephisto II... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Arooj - Scott has talked to Mick and plans to provide service to Supratek owners in the California Bay Area (near San Francisco). I believe Mick has other recommended service agents elsewhere in the US. When I engaged Scott he immediately agreed t...
