| What's the Sonic Character of Accuphase Amps? By the way, has anyone ever compared Accuphase amplifiers to something like the Lamm M1.1? I would be curious to know how they compete/compare. | |
| What's the Sonic Character of Accuphase Amps? Hi Bob, Thanks for that outstanding reply! From what you say, it seems like the P450 will be perfect for my use. I recently had a 100 watt amp in my system and while it clipped only once, it could easily go louder than I (or the neighbors) care to... | |

| Help on premium cd player Subaruguru - you are correct. The EMC-1 Mk II is an outstanding CD player. In fact, at this level all the CD players mentioned are excellent. --Thread:Regarding which player is best, I think it's relative to each of us. We've all worked very hard ... | |

| Cryogenically treated cables I think it's Jena Labs which really bags on using Dry Ice as a means to cryo treat cables saying, "the effects are only temporary". I seem to remember a post on Audiogon about someone who put cables in the freezer...they got moldy and crusty or so... | |

| Has anyone else ever reached an audio impasse? Mark, yes - I have the KSL's in my system and I am enjoying them tremendously. The KenRad Black Glass tubes sound fantastic but admittedly, I didn't spend much time with the stock Zenith 6SN7's so I cannot make a fair comparison. I am still huntin... | |

| Has anyone else ever reached an audio impasse? I spent the better part of the afternoon at my friends house and I can say that with the new dedicated power supplies (one for analog another for digital)... his system has transformed.
